TikTok user Tommie Cross Holmes (@tommiecross) has shared a peculiar discovery outside his Bellagio hotel room.


When you’re going on a vacation to Las Vegas, you expect to be living the high life, right? Sadly, this wasn’t the case for one man, as he noticed something disgusting outside of his Bellagio hotel room.

Some say that Vegas is an illusion, while others report that it has lost its spark. And based on this TikTok, it looks like those predictions might be right.

In a clip garnering 3,505 views, TikToker Tommie Cross Holmes documents his discovery, filming himself as he walks down the hotel’s hall.

“So I get to Vegas and I check in [to] Bellagio, right?” he begins. “And they give me my room, and I’m walking down the hall, and then I see this.”

He then pans the camera to a pile of dirty plates, used drinking glasses, and other things abandoned on the floor, which he is walking toward.

“I’m like, ‘There’s no way that’s outside the room they just assigned me to,'” he recounts.

“And it is,” he adds. “Like, what the hell?”

He then grants users a closer look at the items, which show a pile of plate smeared with food and dirty glasses with leftover wine in them.

“But apparently, nobody’s in there,” Holmes says in disbelief. “So, this is ridiculous.”

‘Gross’

Most commenters agreed that the discovery was pretty gross.

“They are a dirty hotel,” one wrote.

“I hate when people do that….so gross,” a second added.

A third TikToker shared a similar experience they had, posting a picture of a pile of trash outside a hotel room door accompanied with a comment, saying, “Me checking into one of the suites at the Venetian last week.”

In response to this, the TikToker commented, “Oh hell naw.”

Meanwhile, a fourth dissenting commenter defended the hotel.

“It’s not in your room, so what’s the issue… ” they asked. “Sometimes people set their stuff at the room next to them so they don’t see it when they come and go.”

Is It Good Etiquette To Leave Plates Outside A Hotel Room?

On the r/NoStupidQuestion subreddit, one Redditor questioned whether it was good etiquette to leave food and drink empties outside, saying, “I just feel like that comes off as disrespectful.”

In response, users largely agreed that leaving stuff outside is actually the correct course of action.

“I’ve done a lot of hotel stays where we can’t have room service come in (NDA-type sensitive information all over the desk type thing) and the move is to leave it outside,” one replied. “Especially if you’re the Do Not Disturb guest, they PREFER it so there aren’t days-old dirty dishes in the room.”
“It isn’t rude, it is totally normal,” a second assured. “You can ring down and they will come for it, but that to me is rude as they will have to come there and then. When left outside they can just grab as they pass.”
A third shared, “I have worked in hotels. A room service attendant will go around after breakfast and dinner to collect any trays that are left out. If they tray is in your room when housekeeping come in to clean, they will move it to the corridor so the attendant can pick it up. Often there will be a little card on the tray telling you to the protocol in that particular hotel.”
