BAD experience in Vegas

I hate getting ripped like that too, puts a real crap on the holiday

Kinda like when the airport "lost" my brand new $850 bass, got that back eventually tho, so thats what counts!

I hope you get your stuff back! (what about insurance, any chance on that avenue?)

 

I dont know, im not too up on these things, did you take out travel insurance?

 

E-mail??? If I were you, I'd be on the phone and up in their grill about it.

 

Innkeeper liability varies from State to State but in general has a low limit on liability. Most of the larger places have risk managers who are better to speak to as opposed to the general manager. The risk manager in general is responsible for investigating any complaint of loss, injury, etc. They generally know if there is an internal trend or issue and will handle your situation accordingly.

 

The problem is how to demonstrate to the Hotel and to the Police, (who deal with crimes) that a crime was commited and that you didn't just lose it, misplace it, etc. At what point is the Hotel in charge of your personal belongings? How can you show what you rightfully had upon check in that you were entrusting to them?

Most hotel guests can't do that. That's what makes it so hard. I wish you luck.

 

As someone who used to work with hotel maids, I'm glad you didn't. Often the person cleaning that mess is not the same maid day in day out of your stay.

I was checking in your post for details of you know it was taken from your room by hotel staff, and I didn't see it, yet you seem so sure. Are there details you could share? You should have very specific details to assume a Hotel employee stole from you. Particularly if you're planning on calling them. Detail is everything if you hope to have a successful investigation.

 

Eeeeeeeew, Ipods.

Replace your DJ.

 

I never got anything stolen or lost like that, thank God, but I was very pissed at the airlines last time I took a plane.
I went to North Carolina to visit a buddy in college. When I flew back home, I found out that my back had been broken into...by the baggage handlers. They left a card thing in my bag saying that "This bag has been inspected by the" blablablablablabla. Apparently, it's OK for them to go through your sh** if it "looks suspicious". HOW THE HELL DOES A SUITCASE LOOK SUSPICIOUS??!?

 

First, Hotel/Casinos in Vegas are EXTREMELY diligent about not having room attendants that steal. They know they will lose far more, in the long run, if you stay (and PLAY) with someone else the next time you come to Vegas if your experience with them was bad. My "other gig" is dealing Poker at a Boyd Group (owners of Main Street Station) casino.

My Wife is a Hotel Manager at a Station Casinos (ironically NOT the owners of Main Street "Station") property, so I know, first hand, how diligent they are about this, however, keep in mind many, many, many "patrons" try to pull scams that sound like this kind of a situation.....trying to get something for nothing. So they are also very wary of this.

That being said, the HUGE problem you're going to have to deal with is proving your stuff didn't disappear at the airport at the hands of notoriously "sticky fingered" baggage handlers (assuming any of this baggage was checked-in) or somewhere in between. If you had noticed it while still at the Hotel you would get far more serious attention.

If your stuff does turn up, I guarantee they will be very forthcoming about shipping it to your home, promptly and free of charge.

 

Me neither.
