text: If I could give this place and its employees zero stars I would have. \n\nI had pretty much the same experience as the other reviewers here. Unbelievably long waits (although the waiting room had a max of 8 people in it). Rude and dismissive nurses and employees, and I couldn't find a trash can or box of tissues to save my life! I was in Vegas on vacation with my father and had the unfortunate experience of getting a severe case of food poisoning. I was already scared since I was in a strange city and in a lot of pain. I know that waiting is to be expected in ERs but the kind of rude treatment that I received by a couple of the nurses was simply inexcusable (and I am a very patient and low-maintenance patient typically). There was one nurse named Lori that was an angel, and the student doctor that was there was not too bad either, but the majority of the staff were simply lounging around chatting and didn't want to be disturbed by a paying patient who was suffering and scared. All I can say is- pray that you never get sick in Vegas and if you do, go ANYWHERE but UMC.
