How practicle is it to get 6 people in a 4 person room in Las Vegas?|121027

Looking to save some money and scrunch people into a room. Besides the uncomfortable-ness of it all, how strict are hotels on this, and is there really a way they could find out? I stayed at the Mirage once and I do remember having to show your key to goto the rooms, but I am not too worried about this, as we should have multiple keys.

It is possible, lots of people do it every day. The best way to do it is have only two people check in and ask for two keys (usually the max they_ll give you.) If you need more keys, have one of the people that checked in go down and ask for another key (they_ll have to show ID). You_ll probably have to have people travel in pairs, or plan who_ll be out of the room when so someone can always get in. Some hotels ask to see your room key when you enter the elevator banks, but they don_t inspect it enough to tell what your room # is or anything. They just want to know you are staying at the hotel. A word of caution though: If SOMEHOW the hotel does find out, they could charge you anywhere from $15-$30 per person, per night on top of your nightly rate. Depending on where you want to stay, I would just try and find a cheaper hotel so you can spread out, and just ask for adjoining rooms, or rooms on the same floor.

is a great hotel (off the strip but it has a shuttle that takes you to the strip) and it_s very clean. They have an awesome, cheap buffet and a really good slot club.

The only hotel I have ever had to show a room key at to get to the elevator is New Orleans. It is probably entirely possible, other than the comfort value. Rooms in Vegas are so cheap though, you could get two rooms for less than 15 bucks each if you book far enough in advance, less than that still if you stay downtown.

look at www.vegas.com for rooms.

Personally, I wouldn_t suggest it. I have worked in the hotel industry and If they do happen to figure it out some way, you could be thrown out and you won_t get your money back. Also, keep in mind that many of the hotels in Vegas have _eye in the sky_ cameras that monitor all comings and goings.

The other thing is they are only going to give you towels for 4 people, so keep that in mind. I guess you could take your own.

It_s really quite easy since most hotels are so large that they won_t be keeping track of who comes and goes. Once some of you check in, you can let the others in. Just make sure that while you check in, the others are out of sight. Simple as pie.

You can probably get away with it. But if you are caught, you could be thrown out. And with 6 people the noise level could get too high, thus drawing attention to your plan and increasing the chances of being thrown out.

With tourists being such a good target for crime, I am sure that every hotel in Vegas has cameras in the hallways. I am sure they will notice if people are constantly going in and out of a room.

I would suggest either finding a suite that can sleep 6, or just pay a little extra for 6 people. I am sure most places wouldn_t mind if you are simply up-front about it.

What we do is we get a two bedroom suite at the Polo Towers. It_s pretty cheap and on the strip next to the Aladdin. There is a sofa bed so it sleeps 6 and they give you 6 towels. There are two bathrooms, a living room and a kitchen with a dining table. www.polotowers.com

LOL! We crammed like 10 people in a room once. We were sleeping all over the floor... well most of the time everybody was out doing stuff.
It_s definitely possible!

They wont know. I have never been to a hotel where they asked to see the card. I have told the hotel that there will be only 2 people in a room then crammed in like 6 or 7. I think that hotels automatically give you 2 keys too. And there is usually always a couch, and then you can call for one of those fold up beds.

The hotel won_t care if you cram however they may either charge more or insist you get two rooms if you want 6 keys. Some hotels are more strict than others...depends where you stay. You could anonymously call the hotels you are interested in and ask what they would do.

It_s possible. After you check in, later that night or the next day tell them you lost your key and they will give you more. Every hotel I stayed at has asked for keys past a certain time at night. You can also call house keeping and ask for a rollaway bed or cot.
