The evacuation<\/a> began at 1 p.m. Officials found nothing suspicious at the property and was allowed back into the Islandia, NY gaming property at about 2:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Three employees were checked out at a local hospital as a precautionary measure, according to Newsday<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three employees had taken part in what was described as a \u201cwelfare check\u201d of a hotel room when they noticed the strange smell.<\/p>\n

Emergency crews were alerted and searched the property. Responding units included Suffolk County police officers, firefighters, and EMS staff.<\/p>\n

Nothing hazardous was located, according to News 12 Long Island and there’s no word on what caused the suspicious odor.<\/p>\n

Out of an abundance of caution, the hotel and casino were evacuated by local law enforcement,\u201d Michael Bonakdar, general manager of Jake\u2019s 58 Casino Hotel, said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAfter a brief evacuation, it was determined that there was no threat to the public, and all patrons were able to re-enter<\/a> the casino.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dizzy Feeling<\/h2>\n

One guest, Matthew Morano, 49, of Fire Island, NY told Newsday<\/em>, he had felt a little dizzy. An EMT crew examined him.<\/p>\n

They just wanted to check me out,\u201d Morano said. \u201cThey offered me to go to the hospital, but I don’t need to take up a spot. I’m OK.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At about noon, he had checked out of his seventh-floor hotel room.<\/p>\n

He remained in the lobby until 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

“All the sudden, medics started coming in with stretchers,\u201d Morano recalled. \u201cThere was a big scene around here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
