Dog-friendly Las Vegas

Basenji Talk

  • I recently returned from a trip to Las Vegas. I was staying at the Westin Casaurina Hotel, which is about a block off the Strip on Flamingo Road. They seem to be very dog-friendly. I must've seen over a dozen dogs while I was there. I think they limit the dogs to only those 40 lbs or less. They charge a $35 one-time sanitation fee and a $70 deposit. They also provide doggie beds and bottled water, and there is a walking area out back with clean-up bags provided. The people I spoke with were very happy with the facility. I didn't have my B with me, but I think that would be a great place to stay if you are travelling by car. :)


  • WOW! That's really great!! I love to find out about doggy friendly places. I go through so much anxiety when I have to leave them. I've only had to leave them once…now we're planning vacations WITH them. But they have to be driving distance :) DH is not trying to fly with them but I would LOVE to...I'm sure they would LOOOOVE to see Vegas or Florida or heck London or Rome :D :D hee hee...!


  • I just got a subscription to Fido Friendly magazine so that I can find more places to travel with the dogs.

    In June we are taking a vacation in North Carolina at the Dog House Resort which is a Bed and Breakfast that is for dogs and their owners. I can't wait to go, we are going to go on a canoe trip with the dogs. I am not sure how Zahra will do with that but she does follow with some hesitation Chase when he jumps in the water.

  • very cool, thanks for the tip


  • We're going to South Carolina & staying at a dog friendly time share. Can't wait to see what the B's think of the beach :)

    Thanks for the tip…Maybe we can stop at NC on our way down to SC....it's road trips only for us these days so we can take the Bs with us :)


  • You'll have to tell us about the time share in SC, we are trying to pick more dog friendly driving distance places too.


  • Maybe this would be a great thread, places to travel with your B?


  • I am from Las Vegas, until six months ago moved to TN, and they have dog parks and parks with dog areas, fenced in. There is such competition between resorts for the almighty dollar. Over all Las Vegas is a pet friendly town. I have seen judges send animal abusers to jail time along with community service afterwards. There have been cases where the DA himself has prosecuted these cases and not just the wild horses being shot but dog abusers as well.


  • It is good to hear that Las Vegas is pet friendly. I am going to Las Vegas this weekend for a dog show. We are actually staying in Hendersen in the Residence Inn which allows dogs and is close to the show grounds.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    Oh God, I remember the first time I read this, way back in 1999, when this was a listserv. I printed it off, so I could show it to people. I have it saved and still laugh uncontrollably when I read it! Thank god there are no elk in Iowa. It's hard enough to wrestle a piece of pizza away from my two, let alone a carcass.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.
