Coffeemakers in rooms

Yeah, I know, since everyone has their own Starbucks-Seattles
Best-Doodah Premium Coffee vender contract now, no one actually has
coffee makers in the rooms. But if we are there more than a couple of
days we usually grab a cheapie Mr. Coffee machine from Target & leave
it in the room. As far as anyone knows, is this still kosher at most
places? We've done it at Vegas Club downtown (if I recall) and at
Orleans and no one has given us any problem over it. We are leaning
towards staying at Flamingo since they have decent deals right now or
maybe Palace Station since we haven't stayed there in about 10 years.
Anyone know of any place that for sure won't allow us to do that?

Caesars has coffee makers in the rooms, as does Rio. I do believe that
most places all you have to do is ask and you shall receive, but I
could be wrong.

As my fellow menatl giants in ther group seem to have missed, you
appear to be asking if there is a problem with you bringing your own
coffee maker to a las vegas hotel room. The answer in no. No problem.
Bring your own coffee maker and enjoy it as you will. I can't even
begin to imagine why the hotel would object.

And I actually have a travel coffee maker that I alwys bring justb in
case, as complex tasks like showering, dressing, and operating
elevators out-wit me untill I have had my moring cuppa. It's just
cruel of some places to make you schlepp all the way down to the
casino to buy a cup -- especially if they don't let you do it in your
robe and bunny slippers!

Regards,
Amy

As we drive out from L.A. we pack a cooler with all of my bar
requirements and a small mr.coffee. We've stayed at all of the major
resorts and what you bring is your business. The hotels welcome you
with open arms.

Come to think of it, I do believe that I was ASKED at checkin if I
wanted a coffee maker, and of course I did.

Thanks. You are exactly right. I don't even mind paying premium
coffee prices but it's uncivilized to expect me to get up and suitably
dressed and then make the trek thru a casino (usually) then cue up to
get that first cup of coffee. We did it in both NYNY and Mirage and
never waited less than 15 minutes in the line. The next few trips we
started picking up a cheap coffee maker and then leaving it behind.
For about $10, it's not worth trying to haul it there and back.

I was afraid that things might have changed since I was there last and
casinos might have started prohibiting them based on some imaginary
electrical code violation. We have friends who always travel with an
electric skillet--the husband doesn't think he can live without a
fried bologna sandwich every afternoon--and a couple of places have
told them they can't use it in the rooms. One was Riviera and I don't
remember what the other place was. Both places claimed it was because
the electrical systems in the rooms weren't adequate for appliances.
So now they usually just hide it in a box under the bed. Seems like a
coffee maker might be a little trickier to hide though.

On a similar note, I assume that in most places you can get a little
fridge in your room for a fee? We probably won't though. , I
sure like a mini-suite and sure hate paying for the luxury.

I have heard (don't know for sure, never tried it myself) that if you
tell them at checkin that you need a mini-fridge to keep your medicine
cold, they'll bring you one, no charge.

OK, now I think you are pulling my leg... your friend is addicted to
fried bologna, so they hide an electric skillet under their bed in
hotels?

Nu-uh!
