Las Vegas has dog-friendly hotels? You bet

This weekend a friend of mine asked if I knew of any dog-friendly hotels in Las Vegas. He wanted to book a trip next weekend but didn’t want to leave the pooch at home. I found a few resources online and called a couple of hotels to confirm but would love to hear from pet owners themselves if they’ve had any success or horror stories bringing their four-legged best friends to Sin City.

Vegas’ pet-friendly resources:

Pets Allowed Hotels lists 15 hotels in the greater Vegas area that accept pets. I called Candlewood Suites at Paradise and Flamingo, not far from the Strip. They have a $75 charge, but their weekend rates are reasonable at just a little over $100, and their rooms are suites.

Four Seasons Las Vegas allows dogs up to 25 pounds. The dogs are not allowed to be left alone, near food and beverage service or out by the pool, but let them know when you check in that you have Fido with you and you can get a dog bed in the room as well as some biscuits for puppy. Since the dogs are not allowed to be left alone, Four Seasons provides a dog watch. For $78 you get four hours, and every hour after that will cost $18/hr. Book four hours in advance.
