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.

What kind of hotels do airline flight crews stay in?

Q. What kind of hotels do say continental or delta flight crews stay in on trips? Are they nice or low quality?

A. We usually stayed in large chain hotels either by the airport or in the city center. Only large chain hotels can handle taking on a large "block" of rooms on an airline contract.

Union airlines hash out agreements with their airline. I know American at least, requires 24 hour room service. United stipulated "downtown" or "downtown like" (shops, etc.) if the layover was above a certain number of hours. Staying out at the airport is dire for any length of time, even if the hotel itself is nice.

If a hotel was nasty, we could lodge complaints and when the contract was up for renewal, our union could ask the company to change. We found out once that it's not so easy to find another hotel willing to sign such a big contract. It was usually easier to work with the hotel and get the problems sorted out. One hotel in N.Y. was really dirty and we did manage to get that one changed.

Delta is non-union but they usually match whatever rules the union airlines follow so their standards will be similar.

Rooms are individual.

Be aware that with new security regulations, F/A's may not be willing to tell you in which hotel they stay if you ask them directly. I'm also not sure if the hotels themselves can tell you.
