how safe are the safes in the room?

Hello all! Just wanted to settle a debate with my boyfriend so any opinions will help....Has anyone had any bad experiences with the safes in their room? I doubt it...but i plan on printing the responses and showing him later to prove that I%26#39;m right! Oh, BTW, i%26#39;m not the one worried!

=0) Thanks!

I%26#39;ve never had a bad experience with safes in the room. I think that they are great.

It%26#39;s true that the hotel management can get into the safes if they really want to. This is in case a previous guest left something in there or something like that.

The maintenance people and the cleaners have no access to the safe at all.

Honest, if you don%26#39;t trust the hotel staff, don%26#39;t stay at that hotel. If you don%26#39;t trust any hotel anywhere ... well, that%26#39;s not a problem with the hotel ;)

need-a-vacay - I%26#39;ve never had any problems with hotel safes and my husband and I use them all the time. Did your BF have a bad experience, or is he just skeptical?

Safe.

Safe

I never had anything disappear from a safe, actually sort of the opposite. In a major chain in Indianapolis, I put items in the safe, created a code and locked it. Later, I couldn%26#39;t get it open. The Security Director came up and was able to get the safe open for me. At first he thought it was me, but when he created a code and couldn%26#39;t reopen the safe, he decided it was the lock. I guess if we coulnd%26#39;t get the safe open, no one else could either. I put the things in a safe deposit box at the front desk.

You can only use this to remind your bf ONCE, that you were right. I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll be right about plenty of other things during your trip and you%26#39;ll remind him about those often. ;-)

Hope you have a good trip.

I%26#39;ve left thousands of dollars (in cash) in the room safes many times without a problem.

We%26#39;ve never had a problem with the safes at any of the properties we%26#39;ve sayed at in Vegas.

Honestly, I think keeping them secure is very much in the best interests of the hotel/casinos. They%26#39;d never want to upset a whale or even a mid level gambler. Also, I think that if any hotel was found to have unsafe safes it would make a lot of buzz around town and discourage poeple from staying there.

LOL thank you everyone! He%26#39;s never had a bad experience, just the type of person that wants to keep all his money on him at all times....I, on the other hand, that needs to play it overly safe by even going to Vegas with half my money in travelers checks, ';just in case'; haha!

and yes CityLights, you are prob right!! =0)

He wants to keep all his money with him??? Hmmmm!!! I hope he has one of those travel pouches that go around the waist. Keeping all his money in his wallet isn%26#39;t such a great idea. There are pickpockets in Vegas -especially around attractions (Bellagios fountains, etc.). A safe would be so much more secure.
