Very sorry to hear this. Glad to gear nothing more serious happened but I would not be too pleased either. I visit a Vegas a few times a year, thanks for sharing.

A stack of 460 isn't really exciting anybody here in town if it's scene... everyone's walking around with 2-3 grand all the time.

I am sorry once again for your loss, Vegas is really a great town outside the strip area...

Terrible to hear JP but like you said, all things considered...I’d say you got out of what could have been a much worse situation.

...it’s been 3 days, did your dad come down with anything?

My thought exactly. Could be why the hotel seems to not be as helpful as they could be.

Wow that’s crazy, I’m also in Las Vegas for 5 days, but I always locking all doors to make sure no one is coming, I’m also sleeping with my watch.

Wow, scary. Glad nobody was hurt.

Coincidentally, I will be buying a bulk pack of these. A thousand different uses for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQq2otgKH4
If family members will be entering the room, make sure they know where to look to unhook the tripwire before fully opening the door. Put a post-it on the room keycard as a reminder.

If I was a thief and I broke into an occupied hotel room to steal something then I'm taking the entire wallet. Doesn't make sense for a burglar to risk entering someone's room and ignore other items of value only to remove cash from a wallet.

Maybe the guy was hammered, stumbled into the wrong room, grabbed the cash from what he thought was "his" wallet, and proceeded back downstairs to blow anther $460. Strange stuff happens in Vegas.

I think it was your father, in the bedroom, with a candlestick.

He probably thought he was taking it from your mother's wallet.

OP, any updates?

Glad you and family are safe, and no jewelry or watches were stolen.

LOL, I initially read the title as $460k!! I was wondering to myself who would ever keep that kind of cash in a hotel room...

Hotel rooms are not secure at all
