Caesars Entertainment will check “Do Not Disturb” rooms daily, the company announced Friday. The company becomes the latest hospitality firm to adopt new room check policies after the Las Vegas shooting. “In light of recent tragic events and to further strengthen security, we intend to check rooms with ‘Do Not Disturb’ signs on the door every 24 hours,” spokeswoman Noel Stevenson said. The room checks will be conducted by security guards. Caesars is also considering giving panic buttons to its employees to enable them to quickly summon help if they are in danger or feel threatened.
