This Popular Las Vegas Resort Casino is running racket against our US service members. It is common for Us Service Members that are going to Nellis AFB for routine training or temporary assignment to stay in a local Hotel for the time that they are there.

The military pays for this, but they only pay for the room itself. If the service member uses room service or the in room mini-bar they are responsible to pay for those items out of pocket. A perfectly reasonable expectation. In most cases a person that wanted to save money would just refrain from using room service or the mini-bar.

Unfortunately, at the Palms Resort Casino It's not that easy. Because the Hotel has a No Outside food or drink policy, our US Service Members, and anybody that stays at the Hotel are forced to use either room service or the in-room mini-bar if they wish something to eat or drink in their room. They are not even allowed to bring in bottled water, but must purchase it, at inflated prices from the hotel, or go to another establishment. If the hotel finds that a guest has brought in outside food or drink...even a bottle of water or a candy bar, a fine is assigned to the room. A fine that our Service Member must pay.

Isn't this policy going too far? Especially when it is put towards our hardworking service members? To put it bluntly, this is a racket. A water racket. Why doesn't the [Palms Resort Casino])http://www.palms.com/) show more support for our Service Members? Would it really Bankrupt the Hotel to allow guests to bring in a water bottle?

I think people that support our military should #BoycottPalms until this policy is changed. Please share this with the #BoycottPalms hashtag to help the story spread.
