Reserving a room in Las Vegas? -

I m 18 years old and I am planning a trip to Las Vegas and was wondering if my parent who is not going with us could reserve the room.

It depends. They can reserve a room and put it in your name. But most hotels in Vegas require that you be 21 to check in, and they will ask to see ID at the desk. So they would also have to make sure they reserved a hotel where you would be allowed to stay (on the strip, MGM, Luxor, and Riviera are the only ones that allow 18+; I believe Golden Nugget allows it downtown, and then the LV Hilton is another option - that s about it). Also, hotels require some sort of deposit when you check in. Some will allow you to make a cash deposit, which is used to cover room damage and also incidentals, but many require that a credit card be presented at check-in for that.

You will also need a credit card to check into the room with. Even if the room is paid for, a cc is required to check in.Your best bet is to call the hotel you are interested in booking with and ask them directly.I completely agree that there is nothing to do in Las Vegas when under the age of 21. I would recommend South Padre, or another spring break type destination.

I m honestly not even sure why you d want to go to Vegas under 21. There s really no point, as you will quickly learn.Some hotels have a minimum age of 18. You need to find one of these, as they will ask you for ID upon checking in. The person whose name is on the room reservation needs to be there.

She can and it REALLY comes down to the hotel policy and rules, when you check you you do need to have some type of credit card on file to cover unexpected room charges or damages. Not saying that your going to tear up the room but thats what they require.
