Guests at Oyo Hotel & Casino reportedly filed complaints with Clark County officials after elevator service at the Las Vegas property was sporadic this week.
Hotel visitors also posted complaints on social media sites regarding the broken elevators.
Many visitors to the Tropicana Avenue gaming property were forced to use the stairs after most of the elevators were out of service on Wednesday.
At one point, none of the elevators were operational and guests had to walk up stairs,” according to one complaint. “This was an issue as the reporting person stated their spouse was handicapped.”
Nor did some of the hotel’s elevators have proper permits during recent inspections, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Also, in August and on last Saturday some of the elevators were the site of trapped passengers, the report added.
Others were made non-operational after passengers got trapped in the elevators on Aug. 30 and Sept. 7. No injuries were reported.
On July 8, Clark County officials received a complaint about non-working elevators at the hotel. Prior malfunctions were posted on social media sites between March and July.
Previously, the casino-hotel had problems with air conditioning.
