New Hotel Mini-Fridge Policy Could Affect Rooms Rates In Las Vegas

We have all seen those visitors to Las Vegas bringing in their coolers filled to the brim so they don't have to pay the high prices for items at the hotel. Well, now there might be a new hotel mini-fridge policy in regards to your room that could affect room rates right here in Vegas.

The Mike & Carla Morning Show brought it up this morning and although it hasn't happened yet...is this something that could possibly happen sooner than later in Vegas?

After a stay at a Marriott in Florida, someone posted a picture of a sign on the hotel mini-fridge saying that they'd be charged $50 if they put any of their own stuff in the fridge!

According to the article in the daily MIRROR, quote, "The refreshment center is on a sensor.  Use of the refreshment center for personal storage will automatically incur a $50 charge."  Now we all know how the sensors on a fridge work so if you pick something up more than likely the chances are you'll be charged for it. Clearly, this is a new way to add more bucks to the bill when you check out!

So thoughts of bringing in your own stuff to nosh on instead of paying the high prices set by the hotel is now out of the question! Of course there might be a way around this, however, we think hotels might be getting hip to this. Telling the front desk that you need a fridge in your room for "medications" could be a way around it, but you might actually have to prove you have the meds first. And who knows, hotels just might start charging for the "FREE" fridge as well!

Now this hasn't hit Las Vegas for now, but new hotel mini-fridge policy might be the extra charge resorts start adding.

January 5th is National Keto Day, and it got us to thinking, are there good restaurants in Las Vegas that offer keto-friendly or low carb menus? Turns out, the answer is yes. After all, we offer good everything when it comes to restaurants here in Sin City. We have some of the best chefs in the world, and they're not only found on the strip anymore.

But, first things first, what is keto? A ketogenic diet is one high in fats and low in carbohydrates. It's has a lot of parallels to other low carb diets, including Atkins. According to Healthline, the keto diet has some seriously amazing health benefits. Including lowering insulin and blood sugar levels. It does this by keeping your body in a metabolic state called ketosis.

Ketosis happens when the body has an excess of fats and and lack of carbs to burn. When it is in this state for a long period of time, the body gets really good at burning fat for fuel. Experts claim it also turns fat in the liver into ketones. Ketones are chemicals the body produces when it breaks down fat for energy. According to keto advocates, this transformation in the liver can help supply energy to the brain (healthline.com).

There are different versions of the keto diet. There's the standard one, that promotes a 70% fat, 20% protein, 10% carbohydrate balance. Other variations, including the "cyclical" or "targeted" versions, allow more carbs at specific times in the diet. And the "high protein" version has a higher protein-to-fat ratio than the standard version.

Of course, keto diets aren't for everyone. But if they are for you, or you've been wanting to try it out, then you should know about places in Las Vegas that cater to this kind of eating. Just because you have a specific diet, doesn't mean you have to always cook at home. Here are our favorite keto and low-carb places in Las Vegas. –Wendy Rush
