Stayed there over Memorial Day weekend, so I think I should be ok:

The guests who contracted the lung infection stayed separately in March and April at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the Southern Nevada Health District said.

Legionella, the bacteria that causes the disease, was found throughout the hotel's water system during a test, the health district said. The hotel has taken steps including disinfecting the system with chlorine, and remediation efforts continue, the district said.

.Some neonates get exposed with these water births that take place in spa tubs.

All airconditioning systems can get various microbes that take hold. It takes vigillance and proper testing. Wonder how it got into the hot water system though?

Maybe instead of calling it a resort fee they should call it a 'safety testing fee'. No one would balk at that.
