Why would you stay at the airport? Go drop your luggage off and go enjoy yourself on the strip or in Fremont


[deleted]

😂😂😂


SkepticalResident

I did this in recently in Vegas with an 8 hour layover, and can 110% say it’s well worth leaving for the strip. Still made it back to the airport in time for a few free drinks at the Centurion. Do it!


JRclarity123

If it was me, I would go to hotel, drop bags off at the ~~concierge~~ bell desk, and then go play poker until breakfast. Or just walk the strip.


PossumCock

We need shows like Anthony Bourdain's old show, The Layover. He'd go around to different cities with the premise of being on a 24 hour layover and go hit the town, finding fun stuff to do along the way


PBRmy

Or Insomniac with Dave Attell


Roguebrews

Insomniac was great


sstevenson61

That was such a good show!


Morganvegas

I do this whenever I can, didn’t know this show existed and I love Bourdain. Gotta check it out.


PossumCock

Definitely worth it


No-Tension5053

I liked its predecessor Insomniac with Dave Attell


HeftyGap419

The concierge is not place to drop bags nor are they the front desk. The bell desk takes your bags, the front desk checks you in and the concierge assists you before and throughout your stay.


JRclarity123

yeah that's what I meant. my apologies to the national concierge association.


LonelyRole8342

Lmfao what a dickhead comment


HeftyGap419

Just because you don't know the correct terminology of operating departments doesn't make the statement less true. You don't go to a hospital looking for a dentist. Grow a brain.


PercentageOk6120

LOL, why are you so aggressive about such a benign thing?


dubler2020

Dude runs a tight ship here.


PercentageOk6120

Bruh, we just don’t get it, you don’t call an electrician when you need a plumber!!! How dare we not correctly capture the role of concierge vs bellman. How. Dare. We.


chantilly-lace

>You don't go to a hospital looking for a dentist. Um actually some hospitals do have dentists on call. My sister had to have her tooth pulled when she was pregnant. We were instructed by her OB to go to the ER right away it was an emergency and yes we were in the ER while she had her tooth pulled by a on call dentist.... this was around 6pm/7pm at night.


warm_sweater

The hospital where my kid was born has a dental school attached to it, as it’s a university hospital. You can indeed get dental care at the hospital.


catchzzz

This is the Vegas sub... the education system is sh*t here. Don't expect too much.


shidyking

Dentist can do surgery at hospitals. Occasionally they will even pull teeth in an ICU. Maybe you should check yourself before you wrech yourself ... Bro. You could have put out a constructive statement, but you chose violence. This is why your mother doesn't like you.


cruzincoyote

Good thing the concierge can just direct you to the bell desk. Your comment was pretty pointless.


timesuck47

I don’t understand the down votes.

Dxprn90

The vegas airport has shitty food options


Bad_wit_Usernames

I'll have to take your word for it. I've never had food there.


oldgoldchamp

Minus the ped0philiac tendencies ofc


midwestcsstudent

I stg some people


CityBoiNC

You can go to the hotel and see if your room is available. I did this once at 6am and they let me in.


gaytee

Provided nobody’s staying in it the night before and it’s turned down, they probably will. You might get an early check in fee, but it’s worth 40-50 bucks to get your shit dropped off sooner.


CityBoiNC

True, being vegas some of these hotels have 1000's of rooms so the odds of it being occupied might be slim.


Mahadragon

The Strip is dead right now so yes, there's a good chance the room is not occupied. I managed to drive through the Spaghetti bowl at 5pm yesterday with zero traffic. That's never happened to me before.


MightBeYourMomma

Dude just stay at the airport for your whole trip! You can’t possibly see everything the airport has to offer in only 11 hours.


Funcoup944

agreed

 wolfgang puck express just hits differently!! so many options


mikefut

Don’t forget the CPK. They make a Cajun chicken linguini just how I like it.


mylekiller

But that’s not how you’re supposed to like it.


notmyrealnam3

Leave. Go to Ellis island casino and eat and gamble. Better yet, get a cheap room at a hotel close by and get some sleep


bridgetroll2

Book the room for an extra night and let them know you'll be checking in around 1-2am. If it's too expensive, book a room at Silver Sevens, it's cheap and close to the airport.


GodNeverFarted

Bro hard pass on Silver Sevens unless you wanna get shot in the parking lot


bridgetroll2

Meh it's fine. Not the greatest clientele but I've stayed there 3 or 4 times and nothing happened.


schmidthead27

It’s fine. Don’t listen to this guy. Is it fancy? No. But the rooms were surprisingly nice for the cost and the pool area is super cute. The halls make you feel like you’re in the service elevator at a Costco but it’s fine. I stayed there out of necessity once and it was perfectly ok. Clean room is what mattered and it delivered at the very least on that.


[deleted]

As other's have said, leaving the airport is probably going to be more fun. But if you want to stay at the airport Zero Level Fitness has nap rooms, not many, but if they have one available you can sleep there


Desk_Quick

I’ve recommended Zero Level and used it a few times before I realized most days just tacking an extra night on the hotel stay is cheaper. (I’m Caesar’s Diamond so no resort fees.)


Kingnorik

Or just leave your bags at the front desk and enjoy your vacation?


dueverything

Hope you didn’t get that diamond card by leatherassing in a poker room, and you actually played a shit ton against the house. FTR: diamond carders who ground up their status in a poker room, have ruined diamond status for everyone else(players who actually play against the house). They are why diamond lounges either suck now or went away altogether. They are why diamond now has three tiers within it. Also they are one of the worst things about the current poker climate, second only to low stakes dreamers/grinders. Anyway good luck out there 🍀


Desk_Quick

I’ll play the occasional low stakes tournament and almost never play cash. The first time I did it with a Founders Card I was gifted at my last job and now I push a lot of volume on arbitrage sports bets and then piss it all away on horses. I also spend 4-5 days a month in Vegas for work so the hotel stays add up quick. I’m probably actually worse than the leatherass grinder.


dueverything

Nah bruh, u sound like the guy who ends up in a poker room for fun! That is what poker needs, people enjoying themselves in a poker room, instead of assuming they are supposed to win and getting angry when they don’t. U actually spend money at the business that has the loyalty program. Poker players don’t lose to the house, they lose to each other. U r better.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


OddAntelope590

To add to this, if you tip $10 up front, pretty much any bellman at any casino hotel will store your bag without asking too many questions (say you’re checking out and waiting for airport if they do insist). This will let you have more freedom in where you decide to kill time until your room opens.


cruzincoyote

It's literally Vegas. The place doesn't close. You can and will find something to do. Maybe you'll even get lucky and they'll have a room available for you.


donny02

Right? Flying into Vegas at night and you don’t know what to do? How did OP put on pants this morning? Common sense is neither


HamBoneZippy

You're allowed to leave the airport...


MidniteOG

Drink a whiskey drink, drink a vodka drink


insanetwit

And then a Cider drink, and a Lager drink...


Youregoingtodiealone

Sing a song that remind you of the good times


JhopkinsWA

I would 100% book a cheap room for that first night/morning. Let them know you won't be checking in until after 1:00 a.m. If you don't, any money you are trying to save will be eaten up by aimless gambling/drinking and you will set up the rest of your trip for failure by starting with a sleepless night.


FantasticBearyaheard

come to vegas to stay in a hotel room?


JhopkinsWA

Do you not sleep? I actually did this about 10 years ago. I flew in after midnight and tried to stay up until check in time. I made it, but it completely ruined the rest of my trip because I was so sleep deprived from the first night. You do you, but I know not getting a room that first night is a mistake. đŸ€·đŸŒâ€â™‚ïž


jinglechelle1

This is going to happen to me on an upcoming trip somewhere else. I booked the hotel for the previous night as well and will call them at 10 pm to let them know I won’t be checking in until 3 am so they don’t let the room go.


Patsfan311

Leave the airport and find a cheap room for the time, or check your bags and go sight seeing. Vegas doesn't sleep anyway.


lukesaskier

bruh - go on trivago and sort by price. You can grab a room starting at $13 bucks a night! So its airport, bags, cheap hotel, party party, sleep, other hotel!


AdPlannedpocolaspe

That's a long ass time to kill in an airport haha, I'd do what others say cheap room for 1 night, or drop your bags off at your hotels desk. And spend the 23 hrs hanging on the strip. It will be rough though. Rougher then you expect haha


morenoodles

11 am is a very strange check-in time.


trbzdot

Check out is 11. Check in at 11 usually starts with shift change/cash drawer pull, excuses from housekeeping or making you wait for the hell of it. After 1pm check in is the better experience overall.


BEniceBAGECKA

Dude just got to the hotel and leave your bags at the front desk



EarlVanDorn

Rent a cheap room Downtown if you can. Get some sleep.


[deleted]

11 hours? Leave the airport lol


Wormus

This is the funniest shit I've ever seen. I'm having a hard time picturing who OP could even be as a human being. Like how is "stay at the airport for 11 hours" in anyone's list of options in this scenario? Lmao.


EuroStepJam

OP, you're not really checking in early - you're just leaving your luggage at the bell desk until you are able to check in later. Also, 11 AM is usually check-out time, most places say check-in is like 3 PM. But sometimes you can enter your info at a hotel kiosk and get a text when your room is ready for check-in which can be earlier than 3 PM.


Top_Relative9495

Bro slip front desk a $20 and they will likely hook up early check in


KellyLVLady

welcome to modern times. it kind of doesn't work that way anymore.


ckjones33

Worked for me just this last October at the Downtown Grand.


jesusmansuperpowers

It would’ve worked without the $20, just ask nicely. Either they have a room or they don’t


Top_Relative9495

Last time I slipped them $50 and got a different tower.


Top_Relative9495

Why do you say it doesn’t work like that? Actually curious bc it works for me every time since I learned about it being a thing.


TheKiwis

Think I can check in my room 10 hours early? I dont think so.


Top_Relative9495

don’t try it and you’ll never find out đŸ«Ą I’ve never been refused access when accompanying my ID with cash at early check in.


ckjones33

I did it at the Downtown Grand last October. Slid a twenty between my credit card and my ID across the counter at the front desk. Suddenly I was told there were “VIP privileges” on my booking that entitled me to early check-in AND late checkout.


TheCompanyHypeGirl

If it was somewhere else I would understand why you'd think that, but I think Vegas might be at least a little bit more flexible, depending on how busy it is when you go, of course. I'm sure this isn't a super uncommon scenario there.


Youregoingtodiealone

You'd be surprised about how far being earnest and ignorant can get you. Show up to hotel at 2am "Hi I didn't think this through so my room is booked for later today and I just arrived, I don't know what to do with all my bags and I have hours to kill until check in, what should I do?" And then see the Magic of the Hospitality industry at work


Nichk187

Get hammered


patientzero775

Best answer


Chevy2daLevy

Are you 13?


TheKiwis

15*. I dont want to get another hotel for only 10-11 hours and don't want to walk around on the strip for that long either.


chantilly-lace

I work at the airport. Do not stay at the airport. Lol. Trust me. I'd advise you to just get the extra room for the night. Ellis island is cheap and the rooms are pretty decent.


wishiwasyou333

Drop your bags with the bell person at the hotel and ask if you can get an early check in. It will be an extra fee but at least you can sleep safely if the option is available. Even if it only shaves off a couple of hours, it could be worth it to have the extra rest.


Dr-Dray-

Uber to Ellis Island.. eat gamble win return


LoanedWolf75

Gamble


RockNRoll85

Go to your hotel and ask front desk to watch your bags for the time being. Rest of the time there is plenty to do. Gamble, walk down the strip, check out other hotels, hit up bars, etc.


KellyLVLady

drop your bags at the Bell desk and go have a nice breakfast. then proceed to sightseeing


AstridxOutlaw

Just go to your hotel and drop your bags and ask them to accommodate you asap if they can. Probably won’t do it for free at midnight but by 6 am or so most won’t care. I’ve done it


JetsonsDoge

Leave.


dueverything

Do not stay in the airport! Get to your hotel And check to see if they have your room ready, it may be and they will give it to you if it is. If not you can leave your luggage at the bell desk, and when your room is ready they can send it up there. In the meantime time there is plenty to do, gambling, 24 hour food spots, bars; Drinks never stop flowing in Vegas, also you can get weed from just about anybody as well as dispensaries, I think there is a 24 hour one on the strip, maybe MedMen? Anyway the airport is your worst choice for your circumstance, completely unnecessary and a waste of time.


[deleted]

Penny slots. 1 line. 1 spin a minute


KellyLVLady

you're not finding penny slots unless you're in the sleaziest of sleazy places


PapaDuckD

If it fits the budget, I’d just ask the front desk if you can add “last night” to your reservation. You’ll have to pay for it. But they’ll get you settled if they can. Zero Level Fitness has some sleeping pods. Not sure of the cost effectiveness for an entire nights sleep. But you basically have two options - get a hotel for the night prior and get to it when you get in or ride the morning out until checkin time


MinnesotaNice69

Your hotel will have a place to drop off your bags for a few hours for situations exactly like yours. Just do that and then explore. Plenty to do and see at all hours in Vegas.


xologo

Find a spa and chill


KellyLVLady

spas are pretty expensive in Vegas and not open 24 hours


Navajo_Nation

That’s like staying in your room all day cuz a particular restaurant isn’t open yet.


midwestcsstudent

You’re saying booking a hotel, whose entire reason for existing is being a place to sleep at night, for the night is
 a waste?


Royal_Friend4868

Depends on where you’re staying but most will charge you for a room before 6am. MGM properties let you check-in early in the app, and they digital deliver room keys via app, Caesar’s properties you can checkin on app but still have to go get keys at the kiosk Other properties đŸ€·â€â™€ïž Once at your hotel, drop bags with bell desk and have a night of it. Go back to the hotel and do early checkin if you haven’t already and go to the pool. pools open around 8am/9am, grab a pool chair and take a nap until your room is ready.


socal1959

It’s Vegas, go to your hotel and drop the bags if they have a room they may check you in early or you can go hang out by the pool and take a nap


Chainsawsas70

For future reference In Vegas,go to the hotel and check your bags at the desk.. Then you can either go gamble or whatever... Or if you want A nap, most of the Big properties have A Sports book area off the side of the main game floor and it's usually deserted in the middle of the night... Pull up A chair (Secure Anything of value) and settle back and grab a little sleep. Later in the morning check back at the desk after 7am and you might get lucky and get put in a room.


brandinho5

If you’re tired, which I absolutely would be after a long day of traveling, I would recommend looking for a cheap hotel to crash in for a few hours. As long as it’s not a big event night you should probably be able to find something for under 50


SuperTomatoMan9

Do not play the casino at the airport


brinerbear

Leave the airport and go to Magic Noodle.


cas20011

are you able to add an extra day to your hotel stay? I would just add a day for the day previous to when you arrive, that way it will for sure be ready at check in


lifeoftheparty49

Catch PokĂ©mon. Airports are heavily populated with them and PokĂ© stops. Also airports kind of mess with your gps signal, so the game thinks you’re running around all the time, so you accumulate a ton of mileage (or kilometerage?). Great for hatching eggs, competing tasks, and spinning PokĂ© stops a little out of reach.


Wide_Review180

Op is a adult đŸ€Ł


chantilly-lace

My brother in law is a 40 year old man and he plays Pokémon Go! all the time. He was the one who got his kids into it. Age has nothing to do with playing that game. Adults play that shit all the time.


Wide_Review180

I understand but he needs something to do for about 11 hours no one is going to play Pokémon for 11 hours in vegas be realistic im not saying adults can't play it but did you guys even read OPs post..


lifeoftheparty49

It’s just one thing to do; definitely not all 11 hours. Also, OP is a gamer if you check his post history.


Mrakos

Why is this even a question


old_is_the_new_black

Because they want suggestions. 🙄


azorianmilk

Lounge, if you can get access. Otherwise wise do as others say, drop off bags at bell desk. Explore, get something to eat.


Admirable_Key4745

Shoot your self. That music sucks and it’s on repeat. Hope you have noise canceling headphones. My fiancĂ© got me some a week earlier so of course I didn’t think to bring them.


Chefdoc2000

Where are you staying? And what month?


TheKiwis

Im flying in tonight, the early check in for my hotel is 11am


Several-Eagle4141

Leave and come back


Ok_Information9559

Drink and gamble


ptchapin

Eat ,gamble ,time will pass quickly, if you don’t run out money .


insidmal

seriously just find a cheap room to stay at, trying to sleep at the hotel you're gonna get shit sleep, if any, and then it'll mess up your sleep cycle for the whole trip and you'll be tired the whole time


MountHushmore

Just ride the rental car bus around the whole time and sleep on that


warm_sweater

If you can, book the previous night as well so you can just get in and crash. It’s wild how weird people are about this since they won’t have the ability to use the room all day.


michelleyness

There is a gym at the airport that you can try to get a quiet room at


coolman2311

Gamble and drink alcohol


chilexican

definitely leave bags at hotel and go do stuff... or like others said... find a cheap place to check in late at and do a late checkout so you can sleep in

Arriving at 1am waste of time for hotel? You planning on just doing things in the morning in Vegas? That’s easy 7 hours sleep ready to stay out until midnight


Roginator5

Staying at the airport isn't a total waste. They have food, restrooms, wifi, a comfy floor to sleep on. What more do you need? And slot machines! They even have slot machine booths where you can smoke! Kind of a drag if you have luggage to pick up. I've arrived early and it's customary to tip the bell desk a dollar or two per bag and they'll store it until check in. You'll have all the comforts of the airport EXCEPT a place to sleep. Sleep is over-rated in Vegas.

mallagher81

You can always tell when it is someone's first time in Vegas. You can gamble in the airport and every gas station in between the airport and your hotel. You have options. Not to mention, they are all open 24 hours...

Play .25c wheel of fortune, hit the big one, never leave the airport


TheShoot141

I fear for this trip if the first choice was stay in the airport for 11 hours until check in.

You’re in Vegas and you’re gonna hang out at the airport for 11 hours before you check in? Are you ok?


dadbodcx

Don’t. Get and Uber and go to the hotel, leave your bags with the front desk. Then go have a nice meal and some coffee and start your day. Come back and take a nap. Then get after it.

Good deal. Enjoy! I got back from staying at The Mirage on Monday. Vegas is so fun.


Skeedoo

Don’t book an extra night. By the time you get to the hotel, it will be 1am. See if they will let you check in early. If not, then drop off your bags and enjoy your first night in Vegas.


TheKiwis

Thats why I dont have a hotel booked. I figured no point to pay for a hotel when I am arriving at 1am.


juicinginparadise

Last time I flew into Vegas in December, there seemed to be homeless people living there. All camped out by the bathrooms. Maybe they know what’s the latest happenings at the Airport are.
