From Times Wire Reports
Clark County health officials have determined that norovirus caused a gastrointestinal illness last week in guests at the Monte Carlo hotel-casino in Las Vegas.
About 15 people, all local residents, were afflicted after eating at the Monte Carlo.
Norovirus, the family of common viruses that have sickened many cruise ship passengers, can be passed by food contamination and person-to-person contact.
The source of the outbreak has not been determined.
