How do hotels supply enough hot water for every room?

Q. In some hotels there are over three thousand rooms. What enables this huge supply of hot water? Hot water eventually goes at my house, but why not at hotels?

A. Most large hotels have very large steam boilers with what's called an indirect hot water system that gives a virtually endless supply of hot water.
Some of this is based on the fact that not every room will "call" for hot water at the same time, do that, & you might run it out, but not likely.
The reason that the water is hot pretty much instantaneously is they have a hot water return system which is basically a pipe that forces cold water back to the boiler before it can escape from the hot water tap.
Hope this shed a little light on the question!!

What hotels near to the center of the Los Vegas strip allow 18 year olds?

Q. My friends and I are planning a vacation for the summer. Unfortunately, we are all 18 and 19 and most hotels require a minimum age of 21 to register. Are there any hotels in the center or near to the center of the main strip that allow 18 or 19 year olds to register? Thanks!

A. The only hotel on the strip that still allows 18+ check-in is Riviera, and it's toward the north end of the strip. It's not very close to most of the action, but there is a monorail stop nearby.

The only other nearby hotel that will allow 18+ check-in is Las Vegas Hilton - it's just off the strip. All other hotels on and near the strip are 21+. The other 18+ hotels/motels are those that are farther out from all the touristy areas.

How do hotels keep shower water temperatures stable?

Q. I've recently been to a few hotels while traveling and started to wonder how they keep their showers from fluctuating in temperature and pressure. At home, if anybody turns on or off faucets around the house, the showers at my house would change in temperature and pressure. How do hotels manage to prevent the effect of others taking showers or using other water appliances from affecting my own room? Are there any solutions in hardware stores for the home owner?

A. hotels use a pump to increase and maintain water pressure, once the building pressure falls below a certain point the pump comes on and pressurizes a tank, and by pressurizing the tank, the pump can shut off for periods of time until the tank pressure falls to a certain point then the pump comes on and builds pressure once again. and in high usage scenarios, the pump will stay on. and this will also aid in constant temp, because in your home, if you are taking a shower and someone turns on the hot water, you will notice a temp change because the pressure in you house isnt able to sustain 2 or more appliances without creating a large drop in pressure in the pipes.
