I'm glad you posted this. I want to take Thor with me to Vegas. I'm all about the Bellagio, though.

Personally, I couldn't leave my Maggie home alone overnight. I think she would stress too much. And I certainly wouldn't leave her alone with full access to the house. I'm afraid she'd get bored and chew on an electrical chord or something.

It may be a risk sneaking her into the hotel.. I work at a hotel and though people think they get away with stuff, we may not always say something, but we always know.

Unfortunately, this means that if they find any evidence of your pup or even have to clean more because of it, your credit card could be charged a damage deposit, and those can be hefty fines, trust me.

I wouldn't leave your baby home alone, so much can happen in such a short time.

LMAO! How on earth would you possibly know if there is a teeny tiny little puppy IN a room if they don't bark? You just bring wee pads for the pup to use. If he has an accident, I'm sure they wouldn't just leave a terd for evidence.

If I wanted to go and didn't have a sitter, I'd surely sneak him in! No sense leaving him at home unattended, no fun worrying and he would be safe with you. I bring Curly everywhere and she'll stay in my bag and I'll treat her every so often for being quiet and all. She knows if she's quiet in a restaurant, she's getting some of what we have so she'll just lay in her bag next to me and I'll sneak her the goods. No one is the wiser!

I agree...if she isn't a barker, bring her with you. I have done this before. Just make sure to really check to room after.

Ok i live in Atlanta and about two years ago me and my family took a vacation to Vegas. We decided to just leave my dog outside (which is not a yorkie nor toy) hoping that the weather would be ok. We also left enough food and water for him. Well when we was in Vegas we got a phone call saying the weather was really bad and was sever. Boy did I cry. My little baby is soooo scared of bad weather. When its storming he shivers. He dosen't like thunder nor lighting. This ruined my vacation. And then bad enough when we pulled into our neighborhood we saw a tree had fell and there were branches and leaves in the street.I wanted to cry again right then. I was soo scared to for my baby. Luckley when we got to our house and he ran to the gate going crazy. I never saw him so happy. And from that point i promised never to leave him alone again.

Just sneak her in. I do it all the time, just as long as she doesn't bark. I have even had hotel staff see Chance, yorkies are cute little things, staff just want to pet them. Most everyone in the world love pets, and don't say anything.

Ive left mine overnight before and they were fine. I would just confine him to a small area thats puppy proofed

Our Yorkie is a rescue and freaks out just seeing a kennel and cage so that is out of the question. We sneak her in with us on road trips. We got caught in a snow storm once and didn't make it home one night and she had peed on the new carpet and was VERY mad at us. A couple weekends ago we were away over night and one of our kids came to let her out a few times and she was just fine. We left the tv on for her as loud sounds, even just pops or creaks in the house can make her jump. The tv helps cover those sounds and we give treats she only gets if she's going to stay home alone. She has only been home alone twice, we usually take her with us.

I'll tell you what we've done. I'm not one to take them to a hotel if it's not "pet friendly". But, that's because my hubby stays in hotels a lot for his job, and has been in hotels that are not "pet friendly", has laid his black dress pants on the other bed in there, and then had dog hair all over his good work pants. so, that's a big no no for me. But, all of ours are paper trained, and once they're over a year, and over the "chewing stage", we will leave ours alone for the night and they do fantastic. We have one of those light bulbs that you put in in place of the other ones, and it comes on at night when it gets dark out. It works out perfect. I would say she will be fine, as long as you leave a radio or tv on and she has fresh water/food/pads down.
