concierge – using one for the first time in las vegas… nervous?
November 13th, 2009
anyone have any bad experiences with these?? im staying at ballys?
I thought this is the person who you leave your bags with if you arrive early…
What I am referring to is that I am getting to Vegas super early – who do I leave my bags with so I dont have to tote them all around with me??
When you pull up to your hotel rather its by rental car or taxi or shuttle, you should be greeted, they will ask you if you need help with your bags, since its early and you aren’t sure if you will get a room right away, let them take your bags, they will give you a claim ticket, which should have a number you can call when you get to your room to have your bags delivered. If you have a laptop sometimes they won’t take it just so you know. Take your claim ticket, go and check in, when your room is ready and you are in it, use the number you were given call the bellhop they will bring up your luggage to your room. Remeber to tip, a dollar a bag is common. Don’t worry if you arrive at 9am and don’t get a room till 3pm your bags will be in storage. As far as trust, I never had a problem, its kinda like leaving your luggage at the airport when you check in. If you are worried bring a lock and lock up your luggage before leaving it with the bellhop,valet or whatever they want to be called. The hotel isn’t like the airport and don’t search or x-ray it. Most hotel employees are pretty honest, and are hard working, however you willl find the bad apples. I don’t leave cash or other valuables in my luggage at the airport and wouldn’t leave at the hotel, if they want my clothes or toiletries, they are stealing from the wrong luggage. That being said I have never had any problems and have talked them into taking my laptop with no problems.
Once you leave your luggage even if you have a long wait for your room, go ahead and enjoy Vegas, you luggage is safe till you get your room.

Concierge is a personal guide to answer your questions, make sure you get tickets to your shows, dinner reservations, etc. Make sure you tip him/her well

The person you are thinking of is called a doorman. This is the person that will meet you when you arrive and take all your bags and give you a claim ticket for them so you can get them delivered to your room later. They are all very polite and friendly and used to first-timers so don’t be afraid to ask questions.

a concierge can and will get you anything you want, and i mean anything. they have contacts and can direct you to whatever you want, legal or otherwise. be prepared to tip big time for their service, the amount depends on your wants.

You are thinking of the bellman not doorman. The bellman will take care of your bags until your room is ready. Never had a problem .. then again if your room was empty the night before you will be able to check in early.
The concierge is there to help you with your needs and answer questions for you … a very helpful and knowledgable person.
