Question by pinksleepybear:
Does each person need a room key to get into vegas hotel room?
Friends and I are going back and forth about this; some don’t mind telling the hotel & paying for 5 people, some want to save $ and reserve room for 2. We’re planning on staying in a 5-star hotel; does each person who goes up in the elevator need a room key or can a few person go with one who has a key? How strict are they? I don’t care if they find out and charge us extra per person but I do care if we all get kicked out. Some in my group want to see if we can get away with reserving for 2 people. Comments to help us make a decision are appreciated.

What you are planning on doing is illegal. It is defrauding an innkeeper and you can end up in jail. Most hotels won’t even allow 5 adults in one room.

In my experience, once you reserve and check in they don’t care. One person with a key can take whomever he or she pleases up to their room. What if you wanted to have a get together in your room? Is it the elevator person’s business? I think not. Just reserve for 2 queen beds and go about your business.
PS – say hi to my money for me.

you do each need a key. they will give you 2 key cards upon check in and you will have to show this card to the gaurd at the base of the elevators. They do not care how many people you take up, but they will not let you onto the elevator unless you have at least one key card amongst you. So having extra people is possible, but inconvenient as you can not go to or in the room without being with the card.

if there are 2 people assigned to 1 room, the 2 people or responsible for the whole room. You are allowed to bring guests in with you, but you need to be aware, that anything breaks in the room your bill will be way more than what your paying for the night. And if a neighbor calls about the noise in the room, there might be an issue there.
To answer your question who ever’s name is assigned to the room are the ones that has to have the key.

Depends where you stay, keys mostly obsolete @ the better places–electric cards preferred.
You have more people sleeping in than signed in, high probability will kick you all out
How will they know? Housekeeping

The room keys are given to the people as they check in. When you check in you have to give your name to the clerk (bob, joe, eric etc). The room key is only to get in the room it doesn’t matter if each person has a key unless you’ll be coming and going separately.
We usually stay at MGM when we stay on the strip but have also stayed at the Rio. Neither of the locations asked to see our keys etc before going into the elevator.
Of course you have to realize that you only get 4 towels which could be uncomfortable, and you may not have a sofa. The MGM has a fainting sofa but it wasn’t something anybody would want to sleep on. The Rio had a sleeper loveseat but our room only had one bed so again, sleeping more than a few would be uncomfortable.
You don’t save THAT much by hiding your buddies. Call and ask how many in a room and how much more per person before you reserve or just as a random question. You don’t have to tell them who you are when you ask the question. Once you get the cost you may find its worth it to tell them you’ll need a rollaway bed and a spare pillow, blanket and towel set up.
Have fun!

Just about every casino in Vegas will limit you to 4 to a room. You take several people up to the room with each key and I would be hugely concerned about getting caught as long as you don’t draw attention to yourselves like getting loud and having security show up at the door. The casinos are pretty open about what they will allow you to get away with as long as you are not causing problems for other guests. They want you to stay there, have a good time and spend money in their casino. They dont want to toss people out unless they really have to.
As for the comfort factor, that is a different story. 5 people in any room is going to be tight. If you are staying at a 5 star place, I am assuming it is not in a suite so someone is going to sleep on the floor unless you are very friendly! Why not consider going with a place a little cheaper and getting 2 connected rooms? I know I would rather sleep on a 4 star bed than on a 5 star floor!
Have a great trip!

Most of the hotels want each person to have a room key in hand – especially if you’re going over a weekend. You’re better off paying the extra fee and reserving it for the 5 people. This goes double if anyone wants to use the pool.
(Besides, if housekeeping notices there’s WAY too much stuff for 2 people in the room, they might blow the whistle on you and then you’ll get booted. )

If you can afford one 5-Star hotel room, you can afford two 3-Star hotel rooms.
Trust me, no matter how nice the room is when you first walk in the door, once you jam five people in there with their luggage and clothes and stuff, the room is not going to feel any nicer than a Motel 6 room. Are you really going to be able to relax and enjoy the 5-Star experience if you are having to smuggle people in the elevator and bribe the maid for extra towels and pillows? What’s the point of staying in a nice place if you have to rotate who sleeps on the floor?
Just get two connecting rooms or a big suite at a 3-star hotel for the same price and it will be a lot more fun. Or heck, stay at Motel 6 and you can each get your own room!

If you stay at a casino where a nightclub is near the elevator entrance (the Palms) a security guard is posted by the elevator to check that at least one person in the group has a key-other than that they leave you alone once you are there.
