Whenever you’re traveling, it’s totally normal to want to bring your dog. Luckily, if you’re coming to Vegas, there are many dog-friendly restaurants and casinos that will allow your little friend. Here is all you need to know about bringing your dog to Vegas:

Service Dogs in Vegas Hotels and Casinos

Most Vegas casinos and hotels allow pets, but they are limited to specific places. Normal pet dogs will mostly be held in designated areas. However, service dogs are allowed in every part of the hotel or casinos accessible by their owner. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), hotel staff should not ask for any documents or certifications, or details about your dog if it is clearly a service dog.

However, your dog must be marked clearly as a service or emotional support dog exempted from the rules. This helps you from getting bothered by staff members and being questioned.

Your service dog could also be exempted from the ADA dictates if it misbehaves at the hotel or casino. Your dog has to be trained accordingly and should not compromise the comfort and security of other guests.
