Hotel Guest at Excalibur Wakes Up With White Powder On His Bed, Freaks Out
After last month's scare of deadly toxin ricin found at the Extended-Stay America motel, Las Vegas is on high alert for any other potential ricin sightings.
The Excalibur Hotel was actually investigated as the man found with ricin at the Extended Stay had actually spent some time at the medieval-themed hotel and casino. Thus the near-hysteria today after a man at the Excalibur woke up with white powder on his bed. From the AP newswire:
Authorities are combing a Las Vegas hotel room where a man reported finding an unidentified white powder on his bed.
A hazardous materials team at the Excalibur hotel-casino is trying to determine what the power is. The hotel hasn't been evacuated.
Clark County Fire Department spokesman Scott Allison says one theory is that laundry soap may have been left on the sheets. The man isn't sick and authorities don't believe he was exposed to anything dangerous.
Um...yeah...so this is Vegas, right? And people end up doing all sorts of crazy shizz when they are there, right? Things they don't remember in the morning, right? Could that white powder possibly be something else? Discuss amongst yourselves....
