Las Vegas promises an amazing and mind-blowing experience for its visitors, ranging from high-end casinos on the Strip to electrifying residencies and performances.
However, while the city continues shining in its glory and beauty, there are some scary facts unknown to many. There’s a reason why Las Vegas is infamously known as Sin City. The phrase, “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” is another caution of the possible hidden secrets the city holds in its bosom.
Below are some scary facts most people visiting Sin City or even the residents don’t know about.
Suicide in Hotels
Las Vegas is a gambling capital, but not everyone is lucky to leave the gaming table with high wins. Additionally, most people who come to Sin City to try their good luck with fame don’t always be so lucky. These frustrations can sometimes trigger one to jump off the hotel balconies or parking garages. Hotels handle all suicide incidents with the utmost discretion; you may not even read about them in the news.
Blind spots in hotel security
Robberies happen due to security blind spots in the Vegas hotels and casinos. A facility can’t have a 100% fail-proof security system. The hotel management doesn’t want anyone to know the various security blind spots as this will give criminals too much information and decrease guests’ sense of safety.
But we do know a few things, like the fact that many hotel hallways on the Strip are camera-free. If someone breaks into your room, you’re probably out of luck.
Sex in the Hotel Rooms
Staying in a Las Vegas hotel means the previous occupant might have had the craziest sexual experience in your hotel room. Someone has had sex in every corner of the room. Hotel cleaners routinely find used toys left behind when guests leave in the morning. Sex mischief is expected in Las Vegas, combined with the bustling adult entertainment scene ranging from strippers and topless pool parties to escorts.
Weird Casino Practices
Casino staff has to deal with all kinds of guests. While most are prepared for verbal harassment, sometimes things can get messier. For instance, you might see a casino employee move from one chair to another with paper towels and a sponge pressing them on the seats. The tradition is to check which chairs are wet. If you think the culprit is a spilled drink, think again. Some patrons wet the chairs when playing and too drunk to go to the toilet. The wet chairs are then cleaned using “extractors,” industrial-strength devices.
Conclusion
Las Vegas is a top global tourist destination for millions of people. Don’t let the city’s secrets and hidden weirdness scare you away- Vegas is actually pretty safe for a large metropolitan area.
