(AsiaGameHub) – A wrongful death lawsuit filed in a Las Vegas court has reignited scrutiny over the 2024 death of Larissa Garcia. Her fatal injuries, sustained inside a Palms hotel room, have prompted serious allegations against both the casino resort where she was found and the local escort agency that employed her.
Fight Over Money
The 30-year-old mother of two was discovered unresponsive in a room at the Palms on June 12, 2024. She had been meeting a client who later claimed she had suffered an overdose.
That assertion was swiftly dismissed by medical personnel after she was transported to Spring Valley Hospital, where doctors detected no traces of drugs or alcohol in her system.
Instead, they documented multiple injuries consistent with a violent assault and severe brain trauma.
Garcia remained in critical condition for several days before being pronounced dead on June 21, 2024.
Authorities identified the client she had been with using hotel records and text messages from her phone. Surveillance footage cited in court filings reportedly shows the pair meeting in the hotel lobby and proceeding upstairs together.
The same footage allegedly captures the man exiting the hotel alone approximately one hour later. Investigators state that no one else entered the room prior to the arrival of first responders.
They Didn’t Take Reasonable Measures to Prevent This
Court documents summarize statements indicating the man engaged in a dispute over payment, physically assaulted Garcia, and fled the scene, later reporting an overdose.
He now faces serious criminal charges, though current court records show he has been deemed not competent to stand trial.
The civil suit, initiated in early May 2026, names the Palms Casino Resort and an escort agency operator as defendants. It contends that both entities neglected to implement reasonable measures that could have mitigated the risk of harm.
The complaint alleges the resort disregarded evident warning signs—including potential disturbances in the room and suspicious guest activity—and failed to act despite opportunities to intervene, citing inadequate security protocols.
The lawsuit further accuses the escort agency of endangering Garcia by employing a payment structure that incentivized hazardous encounters while retaining a substantial share of her income in a manner that may have breached state law.
Garcia’s family is now pursuing damages for her death, her prior pain and suffering, and the emotional and financial toll on her children.
