How Will You Clean Yourself in Vegas?

November 9, 2009 at 6:31 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

We didn't mean for that headline to sound so sexual or so religious (hmm...ok, maybe we did) but we do think it's important that you know exactly what you'll be washing yourself with when staying in Vegas. And we're not talking about hand-towels here but rather, hotel toiletries.

We've stayed in nearly every hotel on the Strip and we've seen some outstanding toiletries and some so-so ones. Thus we've decided to put all our toiletry snapshots into one big ole' image gallery here. (Yes, our jobs are so glamorous.)

But it's a work in progress. We think the toiletries at Planet Hollywood and Treasure Island are decent but what we really hate is the stupid rectangular bottles they come in which makes it impossible to squeeze out enough conditioner for our tresses, which get extremely dry in the desert and in the smoky, AC-filled casinos.

But we don't have snapshots of these poorly designed bottles so we can't put them in the gallery. But if you've got 'em or snaps of any other Vegas hotel toiletries, send 'em to us or drop 'em in our Flickr Pool and we'll add 'em in.

In the meantime, take a break from those TPS reports and peruse some of these toiletry brands.

An unsuspecting housekeeping cart lies in harm's way in the hallways of The Mirage.

OK, admit it. When you stay at a hotel with bath products you like, you totally raid the housekeeping carts. Nowadays, at least at a number of Las Vegas hotels, instead of breaking the law, you can go about procuring your favorite soaps and shampoos on the level: by buying them.

Many properties—especially those which have partnered with high-end vendors to create signature brands—sell larger versions of their in-room bath products at spas and on-site gift shops. Prices range from $9.99 to $23.99. Here’s a closer look at the highlights of Sin City’s signature bath products, and a rundown on where you can go to purchase some of the goodies to enjoy at home.
