Anonymous call

At the very least not put yourself in the line of fire.

I don't think you are following what I am saying.

Oh! Sorry. Please elaborate.

I call BS on Steve Wynn. I go to Vegas or anywhere, I keep my do not disturb sign ON my hotel door anytime I'm not there if I do not want my room done. And I don't have it done every day. I don't like people in my room either, when I'm not there. ESPECIALLY in Vegas and I have money around. I also leave the TV on. I've never been questioned, and I was just there a few months ago, 5 days, never had maid service, just exchanged towels when I wanted or saw them in the hall.

I do the same thing every time I stay in a hotel. I enjoy my privacy. Most hotels I've stayed in recent years actually promote an "energy and earth-conscious" type of policy that encourages customers to let hotel staff know that you don't want/need towels and linens changed out or the room cleaned/made every day. The "do not disturb" sign goes up on my door and doesn't come down till I check out. I just let them know if I need something. It's kinda awesome.


ETA: Just after I posted this I realized Vegas might be a little different than most places. Three or five or more days without room/cleaning service might very well be a red flag. Suicides, illegal activity, parties, too many people staying in a room, etc. Hm.

Not to be overly grim, but I imagine there wouldn't be much to study after he killed himself. The trauma would probably be massive.






[emoji202]MOO

Has it been reported what type gun he used to kill himself?? I heard it was a revolver, anyone?

That could happen in any hotel. I would think Vegas would be the opposite, because what goes in Vegas, stays in Vegas. So if somebody doesn't want their room clean for several days, I fail to see why it would raise a red flag. I presume it goes there day in and day out.

We are also one that leave our do not disturb sign up for our entire stay. I never gave it a second thought, but I am not surprised to read that for security purposes staff is trained to be alert to this and report. I don't think we would ever know we were being checked on. Investigating can be as simple as checking to see the last time the room was opened by guest. If it hadn't been accessed in the time frame further behind the scenes checks would be done without our knowledge.

Yea, a lot of people do this. I put "do not disturb sign" on my hotel room door all the time, because I don't like being disturbed, and I am not plotting mass murder in there. There usually are enough towels and soaps and shampoos to last for the stay without having to allow someone to clean the room.

In suspects case, if they checked, they would have found nothing unusual since he was apparently a frequent guest. Also sounds like he wasn't staying inside the room all the time, he was coming and going.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't want anyone else in my hotel room unless I invite them. But I also can see how it would raise a flag. ... Now that I'm thinking about it, hotel staff does "check in" with me when I decline maid and other services. Haven't really though about why until now. The front desk will check and see how I'm doing and if I need/want anything, especially as I come and go from the hotel. Went to Colorado earlier this year; I was kinda shocked and amazed that the front desk peeps greeted me by name when I saw them. It was a nice, newer hotel, so maybe the staff was just mega "on." I really enjoyed my stay there.

For all we know, hotel could have been checking with him to see how he was doing, and he told them he was fine. He certainly wasn't afraid contacting the hotel staff, he complained about the noise coming from downstairs.

I agree there is no way IMO checking out a do not disturb sign would of prevented this from happening. I am just not surprised to find out that they can be an alert to staff.

I think they still come snd straighten up though.

They are not going to come in if you have a "do not disturb" sign on the door. That's what these signs are for.

When I had "do not disturb" sign, sometimes I had staff call me asking if I needed anything to be cleaned. I just said I was fine and didn't need anything. They are not physically going to go inside if there is a "do not disturb" sign on the door.

I was a chambermaid a couple of summers in vacation places while in college. Resorts where people had to pay a lot of money. You would not believe the things they did in the rooms. I bet someone goes in but I have never stayed in Vegas,

Do they have bugs and cockroaches there?

They sure didn't when I was in Colorado this time, and they haven't at other places I've stayed in recent years. I asked for maid service one day during my stay in Colorado. They didn't touch anything the rest of the time I was there. If I had trash or dirty towels or anything like that, I bagged it and placed it outside my door when I heard them coming down the hall each morning. They would pick it up and leave me replacements. They were great.

O/t If you can, bring your own pillow. Some people even bring sheets and blankets but that is hard on a plane. Pillow for sure. Snarfing and drooling. Ugh

I only know about resorts. They knock.

They do not want bugs and vomit in their rooms.
