> I don’t know why people expect privacy in Vegas

Because it's part of the United States, where personal freedoms are supposedly respected. Reading so many comments describing daily room searches at hotels as just the new normal state of affairs makes me sick. I hadn't been aware that the terrorizing mass media had ruined hotels even harder than they ruined air travel.

The Las Vegas Strip and its hotel casinos are famously one of the most surveillance-heavy areas in the world due to the casinos ostensibly looking for casino cheaters but it goes way beyond that now in the name of "safety"

Way too much American individual freedom has been destroyed by the regressive embrace of corporate freedom, but there are still some strong distinctions between being passively surveilled in a public venue and being actively searched in a private room.

Sure, they have cameras up in public spaces, on the casino floors, etc. No one is going to argue with their right to place cameras on their private property like that.

Hotel rooms are a different matter, though. People should and do expect levels of privacy similar to that of a rented apartment. (Lower levels, but similar.)

Landlords can access their property with 24 hour notice everywhere I has lived in the US.

Yeah...this is nauseating.
