i move around a lot. much like pjstroh - last year i did six nights in one hotel and i got so bored of it and was itching to move.

i totally understand why people would want to stay put. what i dont understand is the "its takes up too much of the day to move" people. im not sure how you are going about moving, but you are doing it wrong. if i switch between downtown hotels, i can be in a new room 15 minutes after leaving the last. moving from downtown to strip or off strip or any combo - takes maybe half an hour. so unless you are sleeping 20 hours a day, thats not really taking up most of the day.

but to each their own.

I only move if costs were prohibitive in one hotel or there was no availability. It is a huge hassle to repack. You are expected to usually be out by noon, while many times the next hotel you are staying in won't have your room ready. You may also have to wait in line again. It is nice to have a good home base for the whole stay.

Switching rooms means having to get up in the morning to check out. I don't do mornings in Vegas.

Besides, I like to stock the room with water, drinks, and snacks for the week. I'll get a mini fridge and stock it with beer. I move in, put out the "do not disturb", and live like a bachelor for a week until it's time to clean up and move out. I don't want to have to do that more than once.

I do exactly the same thing you do lol! I use to stay in 2 hotels, even just staying 3 nights. It becomes a pain in the ass when you have to pack all the snacks and drinks up. As well as everything else.

It varies. Nuttiest was three nights, one each at Mandarin, Vdara and Aria. Most of the time it's one place 'cuz we mostly do 2-3 night trips. We've done several 9-10 night trips, and those we split between 2-3 places. Bounce Around Supreme was my Hawai'i trip this past spring: 18 nights, 11 golf courses, 7 hotels/condos, 3 islands, 450 kagillion calories!! Or something like that.

If you play by the rules, most hotels have a checkout time of 11 a.m. and a check-in time of 3 p.m., so that means you have 4 hours without a hotel room and unless you trust a hotel bell-man with holding your luggage for 4 hours, then you are stuck with holding your luggage also.

Isn't that a wee bit paranoid? You do know that maids have keys to hotel rooms, don't you?

I think there's a thread elsewhere here that might interest you. lol
