Really? People do this? My kids are little still but it never occurred to me to get a second room once they reached a certain age. My parents never did, and what's more, there were five of us so one of us (usually me...) always slept on the floor.

Most adults like to have sex. If you're cool with having sex while your kids at in the room, then no need to book separate rooms. It sounds like your parents were cool with it, so you might be too.

The parents can sneak into the bathroom together. Well, usually. Not at this hotel...thank goodness the Op and her dh figured this out before that happened.

Sometimes I feel think that I'm uptight. Then I read dcum and feel better about myself.

It's awkward. There are ways to solve the problem. It's a good story laugh about later. Not an ideal situation but not a total vacation killer. I'd rather be surprised by an awkward bathroom than a bug problem or clogged toilet or something.

It was indeed an interesting life lesson with that mirror, and hopefully our experience will help others too. I still don't understand why the hotel doesn't inform the guests about the feature and feel in the right with that. In my opinion, they should inform the families and any group of guests that don't look like a couple - e.g., there were 2 queen size beds in our room, and why would a couple book a room with the separate beds, especially in Vegas? So perhaps everyone who books a room with 2 beds should be informed.

Are your kids the same sex? Assuming they are since they are sharing a bed.

Hotel manager must have thought you guys were so cheap for sharing a room and then bitching about it. He gave you free rooms to shut you up.

You glanced at one of your children nude. Get over it. Sheesh.

I already told that they are two 13-14 y.o. girls. Nobody gave us any free rooms - they gave us only a $70 resort fee discount. You should read the topic before replying so judgementally.

On our last day, I met a family on the elevator - parents and a 13 y.o. girl. They asked me how I enjoy staying there, and I brought the issue up. All 3 of them almost started screaming saying that they just found that out themselves and were very pissed off.

OP, you are teaching your children a horrible lesson of feeling entitled and bratty.

Spending time complaining and insisting on discounts for something so minor - that even had a fix - is teaching them lessons that will do them no favors in the future.

Um, Op gets decide how uncomfortable this experience made HER feel. You don't get to do that. I really don't care if you are not phased by seeing your teenagers humiliated in such a completely unnecessary way. And, yes, young teen girls in particular would be VERY embarrassed by something like this.

This would have pissed me off and, yes, it probably would have put a damper on our stay at that hotel (what other weirdo "surprises" are there in store?). Maybe the t.v. tunes into your neighbor's room if you turn on the right channel and set the volume to a certain level....

I actually followed the suggestions on this thread - some posters advised that I should request the vouchers. I didn't ask for anything specific, and I also spoke with them myself - without the kids or DH around. When we checked out at the front desk, they asked how we enjoyed staying there, and of course I mentioned that they should notify the guests. Again, they repeated the same mantra - that the guests are responsible for doing research on the hotels. It's as if you bought a new product in the grocery store, and it turned out to be poisonous, and the manufacturer told you that you should have researched their product before buying it. I just never expected something like that from a hotel.

I assume this was your DH idea, since you are late middle age and have retired your sex life (booking a single room for a Vegas trip to bunk with your kids and your Puritan freak out suggests you haven't seen your DH naked in a while too). I would keep a close eye on him after lights out...

What on earth does that mean?

The Vegas destination was chosen by her DH to give him opportunities for... Extracurriculars. Vegas baby.

It's so sad you let this thing ruin your entire vacation. My mom did the same thing all the time, made me miserable and I hated traveling with them.

No, it isn't like that at all.

You're in Vegas with your husband on vacation, get a separate room. I don't understand what is relaxing about sharing a room with anyone who cab be left on there own for a couple of hours. Teenage kids get there own room on vacation.

Hit submit to early
Should read "can be left on their own..."

I think kids are more likely to feel entitled when you spend an extra couple of hundred a night on a hotel room for just them. Four people can fit comfortably in a hotel room with 2 queen beds.

Let's look at it the other way (in the same extreme fashion). Don't you like you family? Aren't you all mature enough to get along in one room for a few days? If not, you might need some serious family therapy. I feel bad for your kids! They probably feel like you hate them!

And the people on here that made rude suggestive comments about OP's spouse should be ashamed of themselves. There was nothing in the post that even hinted at that. It's interesting though how your minds went that way.....
