LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

The Clark County Fire Department says two hotel guests at Hooters were taken to the hospital for second degree burns.

he was shaking and just from his neck down to his feet he was completely red and on his back it was actually bubbling ... paramedics [said]he had second-degree burns on 91 percent of his body and was going into shock.

"They do have a chlorine system that goes every 15 minutes or so, but at six o'clock in the morning it dumped all of it," Knox told FOX5. "Security explained to the fire department they had several complaints of people getting burned so it's not just these two or these four," said Knox.

2nd degree burns on 91 % of the body.

I'm pretty sure no other guest went home with that kind of burn injury that these two got.

Injury lawyers should smell millions on this case as it's been told so far anyway.

True. All other injuries were more minor but it does show knowledge and lack of response. Mainly it shows what happens when managers take ultra high bonuses and fire half the line workers. The line workers who remain are over-worked and probably were not much good to start with. These overworked and often untrained personnel have to run the place without really knowing the procedures at all.

In Hooters its probably extreme but in reality its probably taking place in quite a few casinos and hotels in Vegas.

This scenario could answer the how to rob a casino - bring you're own chlorine.

Might work now, but in the old days Guido would make you drink it !
