Hey fellas,
I believe that when I was there in late June, they only checked the ID for age and didn't record the name. When I asked Johanna why, she said it was not to invade guests privacy or something to that effect.

I'm curious if the policy at Sportsmens regarding ID's is still the same?

I would prefer if they actually recorded the names. Do you guys think it would be possible to get them to change the policy if enough CRT's asked for it? I'm not worried or anything, but better safe than sorry.

First of all, are you guys in agreement with me that recording the names is a better way to go? I think many of the other hotels do it this way.

I would actually prefer if it went the other direction. In other words, I would rather not be stopped for any type of ID check for the girls. As far as I'm concerned, if you bring an independent back there, YOU should be the one taking responsibility for her, not the establishment. If you have any concerns about her being of age, then go ahead and ask her for her ID yourself.

Though there's no illusions of course about what you're doing with the girl, I still find all the sign-in stuff at the other hotels a hassle and somewhat humiliating.

By checking beforehand, you also save yourself the hassle and disappointment of bringing a girl over there in a cab and then getting the bad news.

I know this thread refers to SL but I have always stayed at Presidente where you check the girls in.Last trip I took what I thought was a nice chica back only to discover that she was not allowed in the Pres. The desk clerk later told me she was involved in Credit Card scams with hotel guests so I guess I was lucky that they did check her out and perhaps save me a major problem with stolen CCs.
IMHO it is always better to have the hotel keep a record of your guests in case there is a problem.That way the chicas also know they will be banned and potentially lose a good chunk of income by not being able to return to that particular hotel

K,
That's pretty much the same way that I feel about the issue.

GR,
You make some good points about checking the girl out yourself and also about the somewhat humiliating moments associated with signing in a chica. But I think the chica would be less likely to think about stealing from you or scamming you in any way if she knows her name is on record. I did not (and would not) blame the hotel if something like that happened. But I would feel better knowing that I'd have some recourse if I had the name of the chica.

I started this thread because I was thinking about my trip in June where my "drunk-out-of-his-ass" buddy brought two chicas back to the SL where they drank until he passed out at which point they rolled him of the $1500 he won at the casino that night. Haha. It's a very educational story for the newbies, actually everybody can learn from it.

In my opinion, all the checking or record keeping in the world wont keep a guys who passes out with these poor chicas in his room from taking an easy $1500 cash. There is usually no recourse for that kind of situation...only lessons to be learned. I dont think any hotel will be liable for that kind of easy ripoff.

Have fun...but keep your brain in gear...

Think TMan is correct in his observation. However, if there is a problem it does put the girl on the hotel black list and hopefully protects the next guy.

I think the hotel should keep the girls cedula and not release it until they call the guest and get an "yea, all is OK"

While I agree that, if given an easy chance for a $1500 payday, many chicas would take it, but Ding Dong has the right idea. I remember reading on here that some hotel actually does it this way.

I would absolutely have no problem with that policy.

I think, as adults (even drunk ones), we assume certain responsibilities for our actions. If the occasion presented itself, though, I am confident the SL management would be quick and subtle in pointing out any irregularities.

Even if he had the names and involved the police, it could come down to a she said versus she said or even a two said against a drunk said.

To avoid situations like that the Presidente only allows you to sign in 1 girl at a time.

One at time? Ugh! I hope SL never enforces that rule. Bottom line: use common sense at all times. Carrying $1500 around (at night, I assume) is not a good idea. There are friends, hotel safes, etc., to hide that kind of money. I'd tell you a story about an episode I had in the Phillipines in the late 70's but I don't want to date myself Suffice to say, stashing money in a safe place depends upon how creative you are and how intelligent the opposition is

As for having girls getting their ID checked and signing in, it's not so much to catch them AFTER the act but to hopefully make them think twice BEFORE doing anything stupid.

Think of it as preventive maintenance.

Nothing is foolproof but would you be inclined to steal something if the place already had your name?

Witling: Preventive maintenance. Could not have said it better myself To make it easier to remember, let's throw system on the end of it. PMS

I do not think anyone who has posted here has any illusions that the hotel or even the police are going to be able to help the guy who has a problem with a girl he takes to his room.

What we are suggesting is that if the hotel has the girls info on record they will be able to prevent her from repeating her behavior in that hotel. If she gets banned from a few of the more popular hotels she basically is going to be out of business. The girls are smart enough to understand this so registering at the desk does give you some degree of protection.

Thanks for the replies guys.

You guys are making some great points. My thinking is pretty much along those lines.

I doubt that the cops would be able to do anything. I doubt that I would even report something like that. But I hope that a good ID policy would serve as a deterrent against theft.

Granted, there are some good rationales mentioned here for the sign-in policies in place at the hotels, but still it bothers me. AFAIC, I'm an adult, I'm paying for the room, and I should use my best judgment as far as whom I choose to share it with - and be responsible for any adverse consequences. For me, the guest sign-in puts the hotel into too much of a "Big Brother" mode.

Also, given my proclivities for threesomes and the like, the one-girl-at-a-time policy at the Pres definitely cramps my style. Hell, even in the Master Suite you're limited to two. No thanks - I'll take the enlightened attitude at Sportsmen's any time.
