With all the parties in 4 weeks (well, actually 25 days, but whose counting!?!?), I thought I'd post Tasha's infamous Hotel Security List. Can't believe it's actually been nearly a year since it was posted. I'd imagine there may be some updates for it, and perhaps Tasha would welcome any input from the community. I do know she can now add the Marriott Grand Chateau (Elevator Key required after 7 PM).
It's often been suggested this list should be a permanent fixture on the Vegas Board. Perhaps we should petition Board Admin, eh?
Thanks Tasha {{{hugs}}}

I just thought I'd add Tahiti Village, where I will be staying, security gates everywhere. I will need to meet people in Lobby or at another location, which is probably what I will do. My first week at Cancun resort is no security, much easier to meet. Kalina
Does anyone know off hand if the Hard Rock requires keys to get up the elevators?
Thank you!
One update. The Mandarin requires a key to get to the floors with the rooms. Without a key you can only get to the lobby floor. That's the 23rd floor.
The Wynn has had security at the lobby elevators all day and night
Nah, but seriously, this is a hell of a thing you did, Tash. You're always looking out for everyone else, without intruding on their personal privacy, and I for one appreciate it.
Keep it up, lady! You sooo rock!

Thank you for that list! For us frequent out of towners that come to visit, its very helpful to know when booking hotels which to avoid and which are "OK". Totally appreciated!!

It's often been suggested this list should be a permanent fixture on the Vegas Board. Perhaps we should petition Board Admin, eh?
