Quote: strictlyAPcost obviously - when i stay at suites at the cosmo I get full tube of toothpaste and other high end ammenities that you can take home- when I stay at other places that are basic rooms I get next to nothing
Maybe. I got a room upgrade at Resorts the other day that seemed like a suite and didn't get any toothpaste.
Quote: Lemieux66Does anyone have a logical reason why hotels don't provide toothpaste and a toothbrush? They provide virtually everything else.
A lot of AC visitors don't have teeth.

A lot of them do, upon request.
A toothbrush at the Venetian costs eight dollars. At Terribles, it costs 96 cents.Quote: Lemieux66Does anyone have a logical reason why hotels don't provide toothpaste and a toothbrush? They provide virtually everything else.

Thank you, sir, for the horrible thought of steak sauce-flavored mouthwash.
On a more serious nite, my favorite amenity, if it can be called that, is a set of slippers.

Quick answers:
1. Tradition
2. Hotel ratings/evaluations don't score for it
3. People are used to bringing toothpaste with them.
4. Toothpaste is not a "status symbol" for luxury hotels the way other high-end toiletries are.
Quote: onenickelmiracleIt's a waste providing them for most people. Many will provide them free if you forgot them.
My experience also; if you call the desk and ask, they generally have them for guests.
Quote: djatcI've always thought that was weird the rooms don't include a small toothbrush/toothpaste kit, because that's one of the items I have in my bug out kit for this very reason. I did receive a gift of bed bugs from some hotel when I brought it home though, so I suppose that's where the resort fee goes to.
A bed bug kit is a hell of an idea. What does it include? Or am I just misunderstanding you?

You misunderstood me. A "bug out" kit is a bag filled with essentials for a few night stay if there is something going on at a casino and I can get rooms. It usually includes change of clothes, toothbrush/toothpaste, razor, laptop (for analyzing crap/porn), player's club cards for the outlying area, and plastic bags for old clothes.
