I am writing this article as a employee in a Las Vegas Hotel. Guest are well informed when it comes to certain things & take full advantage of the kindness of the Hotels & Casinos. The smallest inconvenience like a long wait in line, people ask for compensation. When it comes to Vegas the big thing is the request guest make. They request their rooms to be connecting on the same floor with a certain amount of beds smoking or non-smoking with a free upgrade. Even though most hotels can accommodate these request on a slow day, it is very difficult especially when you have this request & you are checking in at 10pm.What people don’t understand that this isn’t your normal city. This is the number one vacation spot in the world, so when they come demanding this & they say, “Your this many stars or diamonds, so do it or compensate us”, it is ridiculous that they think the hotels on the strip are empty enough to meet every request of every single guest.
Yes, we meet 80 percent & the rest is hard to please. About 70% to 90% ask for a free upgrade. This is also a huge thing to do in a place that is big on views. So you think the Front Desk Agent would be the first person they tip good. Normally we are the last person to receive a tip.Tipping the Front Desk Agent is the best way to help you get a better view or a better room there are discounts & other things that the Front Desk have access too that can make your trip. In the hotel industry, the people tip valet for parking a car & bellman for carrying luggage the best but the person who can make your vacation & save you a few hundred in discounts gets tipped the least. A lot of people take the free upgrades & run but never tip enough to get the other benefits.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/1125822
