Family sues hotel after baby eats a used condom found in bed

A COUPLE from Scotland is suing a Las Vegas hotel-casino, claiming their five-year-old daughter found a used condom in their bed and put it in her mouth, according to court documents.

Jacqueline and Gerald Kilcoyne are suing Caesar's Palace for negligence and emotional distress after the July 2004 incident involving their daughter Caitlin.
The child "found a used condom in the made-up bed in her room, room 6430, and placed the condom in her mouth," reads the suit, filed July 13 in district court.

Fearing Caitlin may have contracted a communicable disease such as HIV, the family rushed the girl to the hospital for extensive medical tests.

The plaintiffs have suffered "shock, horror, fear, anxiety and distress" and are suing the hotel for negligence, seeking at least $US10,000 ($13,415) in damages, plus medical and legal expenses, the lawsuit said.

Harrah's Entertainment, which owns Caesar's Palace, did not immediately return calls when contacted.
