Bringing Fido to Sin City

For your pet-doting clients, a visit to Las Vegas with Fido could very well be in the cards. In fact, with nearly 85 million pet-loving U.S. households in sight, Sin City is eyeing a rising market in consumers who are expected to spend $72 billion this year on their furry companions.

Your clients and their pets will be welcome at a range of iconic Strip hotels, including Four Seasons, Planet Hollywood, Paris Las Vegas, The Delano, Vdara, Cosmopolitan, Park MGM, Planet Hollywood, Westin, Venetian and Palazzo. Many of these luxury properties cater to canines with gourmet meals, treats and doting doggy butlers.

Here’s a sampling of pet-friendly properties.

Delano Las Vegas

The property allows up to two dogs with a combined weight of 100 pounds, with each dog costing an added $75 per night. Pet privileges include a doggie butler and room service.

Guests can opt for the “Plush and Pampered” package where dogs receive a daily walk, fresh water, a coat brushing and some serious playtime. Items such as Chow Hound Chicken Hash (made with organic, free-range chicken) and unsalted pretzel bites are on the room-service menu. Dog-friendly rooms and suites must be reserved in advance.

Vdara

The hotel, which is set in a residence-style tower at City Center, welcomes dogs in their VDog Suites, where up to two dogs with a combined weight of 70 pounds can stay for $75 per night and a $75 cleaning fee per stay. Deluxe Vdog Suites include doggy amenities upon arrival and an in-suite dining menu. Crates are available upon request, and guests have access to a 24-hour dog park and walking path at the property.

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Each of the property’s 3,033 guestrooms are considered pet-friendly. The resort allows up to two pets with a combined weight limit of 50 pounds and charges an extra $50 plus tax per pet per night. The animals cannot be left unattended in their hotel room, but there is a lush green fenced-off area near the Bamboo Pool for them to use.

Park MGM

The hotel serves as an excellent host to Fido, if only for the fun and convenient outdoor park atmosphere that surrounds the hotel. The property allows up to two dogs with a maximum combined weight of no more than 100 pounds. A $75 per day, per dog fee is applied.

Dogs cannot be left unattended in the guestroom unless placed in a carrier. A concierge desk can help with such pet needs as grooming or sitting services, or a list of pet-friendly dining places. For an added fee, a canine butler will provide a range of services, including walks.
