[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] Regarding dogs and hotels......I just got back from staying at the ultra-luxurious and absolutely incredible Four Seasons Resort in Las Vegas. This is basically a non-advertised, almost "secret" type of hotel. It is located on the top 5 floors of the Mandalay Bay Hotel. By pure luck (and I mean absolute and total luck!), I was able to stay in a $5,000 per night room for $150. No, that's not a typo. It was unreal. I thought to myself, "So, this is what it's like to be rich and famous!". :) Anyway, about the dogs.....I kept seeing people with fancy dogs on leashes as I walked through the Four Seasons hallway going to/from the elevator and front lobby. I finally asked someone if there was a dog show in town, and nope---no dog show. However, I did find out that the ultra-wealthy tend to travel with their fancy little doggies everywhere they go. And since the Four Seasons caters to people with money, this is why I saw so many dogs. I know this has nothing to do with train travel, but since we were talking about dogs..... And relating to what Henry said about service dogs on the train. Last year I was on #14 (Coast Starlight), and a woman in my sleeper had her dog with her. I did not see the usual ID around the dog that identified the K9 as a "service dog"---looked just like a little mutt to me. And the woman did not have any outwardly visible disabilities that I could detect. This does not mean she didn't have any, but I did not take any note of any. So I asked the attendant if that was a service dog, and he said, "Beats me. These days with ADA issues, we're no longer allowed to ask for credentials or proof of the animal being a service animal. All the person has to say is, "It's my service dog" and that's it". I don't know if this is completely accurate, but this is what the Amtrak sleeper attendant told me. In my opinion, the woman with the dog appeared to just be traveling with her dog because she wanted to---no "service" required, at least, in my opinion. [/QB][/QUOTE]
