Las Vegas Accessibility -

[Guest guest]

Yup it's true! Read the below article as well. I think Vegas is pretty

much cutting edge for accessible equipment... if you travel to other major

cities you could rent a Hoyer lift and have it delivered to a hotel room.

Is Las Vegas accessible?

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the changes in accessibility

made in Las Vegas in the past few years. Las Vegas probably has the highest

number of accessible hotel rooms in the United States. iCan.com featured the

Imperial Palace in a recent story.

According to New Mobility magazine, " Mirage Resorts has taken hotel

accessibility to a new level in three Las Vegas hostelries: The Mirage,

Treasure Island and the Bellagio. Each facility has rooms equipped with a

SureHands overhead motor and track system to assist in making transfers. "

Contact each hotel for more information:

The Mirage:

Treasure Island:

The Bellagio:
