According to the Las Vegas Review‑Journal, the estate filed the case in Clark County District Court on Feb. 18, accusing Caesars Entertainment and related entities of negligence, along with negligent hiring, training, retention, and supervision. The complaint describes Perrin suddenly experiencing sweating, double vision, dizziness, and vomiting, and claims employees arranged a rideshare rather than using on-site emergency resources or arranging EMT transport, creating what the suit calls a critical delay in care. The filing seeks general, special, and punitive damages, including medical and funeral expenses and attorney fees.

The wrongful-death complaint alleges that the delayed response contributed to Perrin’s death.

The lawsuit, filed Feb. 18 in Clark County District Court, is now pending on the local civil docket. Court scheduling information and next key dates were not immediately available in the public record.
