Party Foul: Boyfriend Claims His Girl Cleaned Out the Vegas Hotel Minibar — and Stuck Him with the Bill

A man says he and his girlfriend got into an argument before falling asleep in their Vegas hotel room. And when he woke up, she was gone — along with the entire contents of their room’s minibar.

What Happened in Vegas?

I staying at Caesars right now and last night, my girlfriend and I got into an argument. We fell asleep together and I just woke up to see that she’s gone, along with her bags and the mini bar.

Anything I can do about this? I’m guessing she just got a different room here or something but she still has one of the room keys. This is terrible.

Sure, I’ll play along and assume this is real. Why? I kind of wonder if Mr. Grape here is seeking advice for a problem he may want to share somewhat anonymously. Not call his friends and family for their two pennies.

Perhaps he met his girlfriend that night. Ahem, “girlfriend.” Like one whose companionship is purchased by the hour (or portions thereof).

Based on conversations with various Vegas locals and some information I’ve seen posted, it’s not exactly an urban legend that some, shall we say, unlicensed in-room massage providers sometimes spike a client’s beverage with some kind of sleeping agent. Once the unsuspecting client is passed out, she cleans out the room.

I wonder if that’s a similar situation here. Or maybe this is a bona fide couple. (Assuming the story is true. I mean, it’s on the internet. So, it has to be. That’s the law, right?)

Vegas mini-bars are ludicrously expensive. It’s not unheard of for sodas to cost $16-18 for a 16-ounce bottle. Bottles of water might run you $15. Beer, wine, and liquor? Forget about it. So, Mr. Grape is probably on the hook for about $500 or so.

It seems as though the lady won’t become Mrs. Grape:

Edit: We are breaking up. Unfortunately my card is the one on the room. Just trying to damage control here. Am I stuck with the bill? Is she able to charge more to my room?

Uh, yeah, sorry. You’re probably stuck with the bill. If her name’s on the room — and there’s always the chance she is a real girlfriend — then she can go wild charging stuff to the room. Even at other Caesars properties and room charge them back to the account at Caesars Palace.

Redditor TradeTraditional tries to put things into perspective. Maybe losing $500 could be worth it to learn that this isn’t the woman of Mr. Grape’s dreams.

$20K on a wedding. $12K a year on dance lessons, tutors.. Nothing but nothing is more expensive than a kid with a psychotic spouse who doesn’t want to pull their weight.
Lesson learned, bullet dodged. Probably 20 of them.

Oh, and this is nothing. broken doors, lost security deposit, half of my record collection “missing”, plus entire car dented in by kicking it… trust me, money adds up quickly with these types. (that was just the separation)

Cheers?
