Las Vegas is the land of hospitality. Home to the renowned Hospitality program at UNLV, Vegas knows ALL about guest service. We are trained in anticipating the customer’s needs, which is where our expertise in customer satisfaction comes into play. With over 20 hotels on one street, we know what the customer is after and that is the ultimate experience.
When you think about a weekend in Vegas you think of
elaborate shows, fancy dinners maybe even getting a little lucky (at the tables
of course). Whatever level of service you have experienced, Las Vegas will top
it.
Growing up in Las Vegas has instilled a certain hotel
expectation. I almost feel spoiled living in the hotel capital because other
places I visit have high expectations to meet. I’ve seen the ins and outs of
hotel operations and the guests experience always comes first.
Vegas is glamorous and we pride ourselves on that. The glitz
and glam is no facade, so here are a few things you should expect when staying
on the Las Vegas strip.
Friendly and Helpful Staff
The staff who work at the hotel that receives you and checks
you in should be friendly and helpful. If you have a problem with your room, they will be
able to do something about it, and there will always be someone at the desk in
case a customer experiences a complaint in the middle of the night. A friendly
check-in desk puts a nervous traveler immediately at ease, so look out for
‘friendly and helpful’ in the reviews!
Convenience
The hardest part about staying in Las Vegas is the number of
decisions you will have to make. There are so many exhibits to see, restaurants
to try, games to play, stores to shop at, and drinks to mix. Narrowing down
specifically what you want and where to do it is not a concept that should be
overlooked. If something is not in your hotel, you are just a hop, skip, and a
jump away from another hotel that offers it.
However, you are not alone in this. Every hotel has a
concierge desk with employees knowledgable of the surrounding area.
Solid Safety Measures
Since the gaming industry is SO big in Las Vegas, you can be sure there is surveillance at every corner in a hotel. Every hotel has a sense of
safety about it. At the very least, all rooms come equipped with a lock your door when
you go into your room and have the only key able to open it, outside of the person at the front desk.
But above that, there will always be safe in your room, just
in case you have valuables you can’t carry around with you. You should feel
safe with your luggage in the room. Most of the housekeepers work in teams so
there is accountability on all fronts. If you're super insecure about that
concept (hey, we've all had rough experiences), check the safety reviews of a hotel. Purchase the traveler's insurance
before you go; you don’t want to be staying somewhere these options aren’t
catered for!
Tipping
Pull out those $1 bills y'all. You should expect to tip. Tourism is a heavy tipping industry and Las Vegas is no exception. However, if you go to Las Vegas, you will receive exceptional service that warrants tipping. Consider this your pre-warning that tipping is expected. Most of the Las Vegas strip workers are paid minimum wage because they make it up in tips.Planes, Trains, and Rideshares
In a world of rideshare programs, getting a ride somewhere is the least of a traveler's worries in Las Vegas. Being near an airport is so important, especially if your main industry to collect capital is tourism. You want the guest experience to be as seamless as possible, starting from when their plane hits the ground.
It’s why any hotel near an airport is important. Most hotels know having an airport nearby is a critical selling point for a lot of guests stay, especially if they travel for business a lot. This is a universal accommodation, so even a hotel near Des Moines airport with shuttle knows proximity is critical. Mccarren airport's placement is prime to the Las Vegas strip. It’s close to the main transportation
route and often times hotels offer shuttles or car service.
We are All About Fighting for Your Business
You might not realize this but even if you're not staying at one hotel, they are still fighting for your benefits. That is why all of these hotels have different themes and concepts. Las Vegas is all about the overstimulating experience but in the best way. We do everything in our power to keep you in our hotel. If you look around you will see there are hardly any windows, no clocks, and neon signs everywhere. Everything we can do to keep you at our hotel is being implemented. Every customer is taken into consideration.
You should feel secure and flexible when traveling, so make
sure your hotel reflects that. For more fun ideas on what to do while youre in Las Vegas check out my Las Vegas Brunch guide and my Las Vegas Travel Guide!
Travelling is all about the adventure, isn’t it? The more
you travel the world, the more you learn, and you love how it feels to get out
and about on foreign soil. But eventually, the time will come when you’ll need
to stop for the night, and bed down for a good night’s rest. And for most of
us, that means booking a room in a hotel and expecting to be able to sleep
soundly and safely the whole night long.
