Las Vegas - Max guests in a room

Hi, just want to ask.

If the rate is for 2 people, and there are 4 people in a room. Will I be charged extra?

Is there any way to "avoid detection"?

Don't be in your room around 6pm that's when the room check police comes around. ;)

Make sure your room isn't near mine. I am the room police.

AFAIK most LAS hotel rates (at least on the strip) are for up to 4 people in the room. I usually ask for only two key cards though.

I don't think this is true. I've stayed at MGM, NYNY, Venetian, Bellagio, and Wynn and they all charged more for more than 2 people. I've always just paid it because it hasn't really been that much. I'm sure always tempted not to just because ... anyone ever have an issue with not declaring the correct number of people per room? Other than not getting the right number of room keys...

Geez, when I was in college on spring break down in Ft Lauderdale, in the good ol' days, I think we hit 12 one night! ;)

Oh, you mean legally! ;)

Thanks why my girl friend couldn't come down with us.

I have had three people in a room numerous times for no extra charge. I tell them two people are staying in the room but I need an extra room key in case a friend of mine visits from Barstow, CA. It has worked every time.

what they don't know won't hurt your pocketbook :)

But if the problem is 4 of us going to the hotel together? Its going to be quite obvious that 4 of us going to stay in 1 room. Anyway to circumvent this?

This depends dramatically on the hotel. Walk into the MGM and the other 2 people staying with you are instantly lost. I'm thinking if only 2 people go up to check in there's no way they'd know.

Unless you guys make a real racket in the room, nobody is going to know. I've been on a bachelor party where we had a dozen guys in a single room at the Mirage. We spent maybe 2 hours max in there while we were in Vegas, but when we all did walk up together to the elevators, the security guard didn't even give us a second glance.

Dennis Rodman was in the hotel at the same time, and we saw him walk by with an even bigger entourage on his way up to his suite. So, large groups walk up all the time.

The answer is 22. Enjoy! :D

Don't you mean 42?

Oh I'm sorry... I thought the OP was talking about the bathroom.

Hey wait, I remember you now... you were going to fly into LAX sometime around Xmas and then visit Vegas, right? How did you decide to get to Vegas? (I suggested WN, which I really hope you did).

Just check in... they really won't care. Seriously, they won't. Just ask for 2 keys. Then later, just ask for another if you really need it (oh, I left it in my room). Simple! :D

1) Ask
2) Have them hang out in the lobby or somewhere out of sight, then inform them of the room number
3) Pack extremely lightly

Just book it for 2, and if they question you, just say you never knew and if they charge you for extra people at the end, just pay it and get on with your life.

GL!

It totally depends on the place you're going to. If it's a big hotel, they won't even notice a few other people who sneak in with you. If they call you on it at some point, just say you got "lucky"... :D

On the other hand, if it's a small, family-run place (think New 7th Storey Hotel near Bugis in Singapore) or a hostel, they'll not only notice but will raise hell over it.

Thanks everyone for replying. I'm back from my holiday.

4 people in a room was alright. :) Didn't have to pay any extra. Maybe cos the hotels were pretty busy.

Funny, I usually don't give any thought to this either but 3 years ago when we stayed at MGM for New Year's, they were insistent on checking. They were not allowing anyone into the hotel after a certain hour who did not have a bracelet on :eek: and these were only given to registered guests!

Of course, we had 4 to a room but only paying for 2 so we had to pony up and let them know. First time I had ever seen that. :td: Stuck so well in my head that when we went back again this year for NYE and stayed at Monte Carlo we stupidly informed them that we had 4 in each room! They were checking room keys on 12/31 but we totally could have gotten away with it.

As others have said, the worst that can happen is you get caught, say you didn't know and pay the extra fee (it was 25/pp per night)! :rolleyes:

New Year's Eve is an exception - the casinos are trying to control the flow of foot traffic coming off the strip after midnight which is why they check room keys or wrist bands. And, even then, they only check for a while after midnight, after which anybody can get in.

You can run into problems as well with casinos that have popular pools. Mandalay Bay and the Hard Rock tightly control access to the pools, so if you put more people in the room than you're letting on, some of them might not get access to the pool. Of course, this isn't a problem in the winter, but it's something to keep in mind during the warmer months.

just check in 2 people -- get 2 key initially.... next day, go to the lobby and say you lost your keys, and get 2 more. that way all 4 people have keys. security only looks that you have keys and only one person in the group really needs to flash it.

Las Vegas Hilton = $35 per additional guest #3 and #4 per night. Max 4 adults per guest room. There is no max for suites.

A disadvantage if there are 4 of you staying yet only 2 register; say the 2 unregistered guests are away from the registered guests and misplace the room key. Obviously, front desk will not furnish a room key to an unregistered guest.

MGM Grand – max 4 per room. Period. Strictly enforced. Includes Terrace Suites. (this coming from a 10+ year Mansion Specialist I know).

Or split up...two people/1 key should be fine for the pool or the elevator dragons (OK, not really dragons in the sense of the BA Lounge Dragon; I do appreciate the hotel elevator dragons).

Somehow I doubt Dennis Rodman's entourage was all sharing one room... I could be mistaken - times are tough for ex-NBA stars these days... :D

Yep, you can say that again. Saw Dennis Rodman at Caesars about 6-8 weeks ago and there was only two people with him, so times are getting tough :p
