Agreed... LARGE Las Vegas hotels with huge convention service facilities seem to have this 'special' department.. convention services. These people manage the conventions .. and yes ship and recieve packages. It may be called a Business Center at some hotels.
I shipped two boxes to the Bellagio and had about $25 charged to my hotel room account for the 'reciept and storeage' of the packages. Yup, convention materials .. and they get ya coming and going.
Other cities ... may not have such charges. some hotels may not chage either . but I think it is pretty common in LAS to do this. Besides they think it is just another business expense we will accept!
Not much other option .. I assume you are getting the packages in the US due to the lower costs in the US (and possibly duty issues) so this is
'part of doing business' I should think!
