I've got no idea what Nevada's law is regarding that issue, sorry.

Ask for Flamingo's VIDEO TAPES to see if someone "snuck" into your room while you were asleep.

Didn't you engage the second lock? Tsk, Tsk. I don't know what the law is in Vegas, so I cannot answer correctly. However, I think that these monuments to hedonism give the impression of safety and security, and if they fail to deliver, then possibly they would be liable.

They think you just got rolled by a trick. Is that possible? Play safe? Most hotels have video in all the halls so they know who went in and out, except the Flamingo is such a dive they may not. They certainly aren't going to pay this claim.

Las Vegas is a whole other world don't think however that a hotel has the duty to secure your door for you. That should be your responsibility.

I'd say you should have checked. Most hotel doors I've seen have an inside additional latch or chain as well and if there was, you should have used it.
