Best place for escorts to stay in Vegas: on- or off-strip?

[LaffingBear]

Apparently, resort fees arent the only add-on.

 

Im headed to LV soon. Staying at Mandalay, because a friend is staying there same time... not a gambler, he loves their wave pool and lazy river.

 

I had this brilliant idea to buy an oversized tube for floating on their river...cheaper, bigger, more features, etc. Free shipping direct to hotel, to avoid heavier/bulkier luggage.

 

Turns out, all the LV hotels charge a fee for receiving guest shipments - even a small pkg. Based on size & weight. I get that the origins relate to convention business when presenters or sponsors ship displays, giveaways, handouts, etc. And, I remember when travel pundits were advising people to ship their clothes and avoid luggage.

 

No shipping for me... Ill just buy the hotel's tube. Probably save a half-mile walk to some receiving center in a convention center, and avoid delays, as well.

I'm a fan of the Palms Place condo hotel (http://www.palms.com/palms-place.html). I've stayed there a couple of times and really liked the rooms (particularly the shower!), plus since it doesn't have a casino it's much more low-key than the usual strip hotel. Parking is in a garage right downstairs with no fee, so everything is really easy to come and go. It's connected to the Palms hotel and casino so you can venture over that way if you want some adventure. I can't recall if the elevator is card-keyed but the lobby is sufficiently low key that you could meet someone there without any problem. There is a resort fee, but just figure that into the total.

 

Thanks for the tip.

Any hotel that doesn't require a key to come upstairs..

Great spa at Mandalay....I used to like a nice vodka martini at the frozen bar at Red Square there too.

I've stayed at several places on the strip. From what I recall, no key was required at Luxor, NYNY, or Planet Hollywood. Key was required at Mirage and Excalibur.

Absolutely Hard Rock Hotel on the "Fruit Loop".

 

4 1/2 star with super low rates, 8 swimming pools and huge Rehab party (for the bi guys). Plenty of free parking in the Paradise Garage, best rooms for the buck on high floors of Paradise Tower overlooking the pools. Clients can park free in the garage and you can meet in the elevator lobby there. There's a gay "resort" across the street and two blocks walk down is Piranha gay strip club---the biggest gay bar by far. The Grove legal pot store is across from it also. A few clients/pornstars/escorts pop in Piranaha which stays open until 7am.

 

Otherwise just off the Strip the by the Wheel, Westin has low government rates every day and never asked for ID. The Tuscan Suites across from it has fantastic rates during the week and plenty of free parking close to the suites.

 

Can you tell more about the GAY Resort across the street you are talking about
