Her video was titled: “What happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas; I’m traumatized.”
She shared in the video: “I’ll tell you the first red flags the minute you walk in, which my dumb a** kind of ignored.”
First, he explained that the door latch was broken.
A second person added: ‘It got worse! I was there a month and a half ago. We went upstairs with all our luggage. Only a few travelers enjoyed their stay there.
‘We hadn’t read the reviews. Many reviews said: “They came into our room at three in the morning.”
‘”All our stuff was stolen while we were sleeping,” and that would make sense as to why our latch broke.’
He added that the bathroom “had no ventilation” and that “a lot of steam formed there.”
Additionally, the bathroom had “peeling wallpaper” that she “assumed was put up to cover up mold.”
The content creator added: “The toilet sink made very strange noises in the middle of the night, it was very scary and always woke you up.”
“The big shower drain didn’t drain as well and I read some reviews that said (the) shower drain took out dirty water, but that didn’t happen to us.”
The content creator referenced the “elevator situation” again to explain it in more detail.
‘They had 10 elevators (and) five of them didn’t work, and the strange thing about elevators is that we look at the five that work, right?’ she said.
‘Two of them only go to the lower floors. Two of them only go to the upper floors, and then one of them serves all the floors.
“And they were pushing so many people into these elevators, and you were lucky if you got on one, so even if you wanted to go down and the elevator was going up, just get on because that’s your only chance to get up.” an elevator.’
The content creator posted a follow-up video in response to the commenter, and her second TikTok garnered over 36,000 views and 1,440 likes.
And he added: ‘You cannot access the stairs. We were on the 10th floor or so, and the stairs were accessible from one floor inside the rooms.
‘You start going down these incomplete stairs and finally you reach a floor.
‘On floors one and two, the main floors, there is no door from the stairs.
‘You can’t get to those floors from the stairs. I don’t know if there are other stairs you can access from those floors.’
She concluded: “But we actually found out later that you could keep going down and that the ladder would allow you to exit down the street, however, that also said, ‘the emergency exit alarm will sound.’
“No alarm sounded, so the emergency exits do not work.”
He then reviewed the ‘adventure dome’, which is the hotel’s circus and play area, under a glass dome, and said it ‘stinks’ and was ‘horrible’.
He explained that they visited during a “rainy week” and called it “the worst time to go,” because the dome was leaking.
The content creator saw many buckets and “wet floor signs” everywhere, and noticed that “the entire walkway was wet.”
Even though “half the rides (weren’t) running, they were charging the full $60.”
She always noticed that the tracks of the indoor roller coaster were shaking aggressively, so she didn’t continue because she said: ‘WWe are not going to risk our lives today.
When it came to the pool, he said there was a lot of miscommunication about whether or not the pool was open on rainy days, and several employees gave conflicting answers.
After he finally discovered that the pool was closed, he headed to the hot tub, which turned out to be “frozen.”
She called him “mediocre” and He said, “obviously there are so many kids there kicking me.”
The traveler shared: ‘The parking lot is flooded with water. There are no drains, there are needles on the floor, and obviously the elevators don’t work.
‘The elevator attendant who was supposed to help (was) actually just filling the elevators with people, because what else are you supposed to do at that point?’
“And you just feel the elevator, ‘boom, boom,’ like he’s struggling, and you hear him struggling to get up, because there are so many people.
“And then the elevators to the parking lot, which were obviously different elevators – you click a button and it will take you to a different floor that you didn’t ask to go to, which is really disorienting and scary.”
