Hotel

This thread is to be used to discuss hotel accommodations at Four Queens.

Does anyone know whether the in-room safe at the 4 Queens is big enough for a laptop? I did look through the Wizard's excellent review, but it doesn't say.

It's not a dealbreaker. But I may be able to borrow one, and I'd only take it along if I can store it safely in the room.

depends on how big a laptop. was there last week, a small one would fit

A regular sized laptop would never fit. All the rooms don't
have safes and in the ones that do a lot are missing the
keys.

I don't remember, but I highly doubt it. Those in-room safes are always about the size of a large shoe box.

I will sell you computer theft insurance for 0.5% of the insured value of the computer per day. Perhaps another member will beat my offer.

That's funny. I was just looking at my renter's insurance policy and I realized how much I hate insurance. It's gambling that something bad will happen to you, and getting really bad odds at that.

I'd call it standard.

At the Guanajuato Holiday Inn Express, the laptop fit in nicely. Usually I only have cash, a passport and a visa to worry about.

Taking a guesstimate of the original sale value, that comes to $7 per day. So it would be around $77 dolalrs to win $1,700. I wouldn't pay that if I ahd a safe to put it in. I'm not sure it's a good bet without a safe, either. What's the half life of a 3 year-old laptop left ungarded in a Downtown Vegas hotel room? Days' Weeks? Seconds?

The ones I've seen are all electronic locks. They would fit an iPad (cos I left one in there) which is a 10 inch screen. A lap top, not so much.

Not that one of those safe's will protect from a determined thief, but it's good enough to keep a sneak thief out.

What the 4 Queens has, no idea.

This is awesome! Maybe we can get a little Lloyds-of-WoV thing going here. Wizard, I assume you've done the actuarial work on this?
