Belinda B shared a scary story about her friend’s niece who was drugged while staying at the Hooters Casino in Las Vegas during a work trip. The woman was playing blackjack with coworkers, stepped away to use the restroom, and unknowingly drank from the same cup when she returned. Not long after, she started feeling seriously unwell and could barely make it to her room, where a security guard kindly helped her in. She blacked out almost immediately, later woke up sick and disoriented, and couldn’t even speak clearly when a coworker came by in the morning.
After managing to call the front desk, she was taken to the hospital, where tests confirmed she’d been given a date rape drug—thankfully, she hadn’t consumed the whole drink or been assaulted. Casino security reviewed footage and saw a man slip something into her drink while she was away, though they didn’t catch his identity. Belinda’s message is a strong reminder that even in big, popular cities like Vegas—and even when you’re with coworkers—it’s crucial to never leave your drink unattended. Thanks to quick help from a hotel security guard, a very dangerous situation didn’t turn tragic.
