Let's just say my boyfriend at the time was a total cheap-ass and wouldn't pay for us to stay at a normal hotel.\n\nWell, as for the actual hotel. There isn't much to say that I'm sure everyone doesn't already know. It was a Travelodge for heavens sake! \n\nI did however notice when we first arrived that there were a bunch of \"gangsters\" hanging out in the parking lot in front of the hotel (near the strip). It seemed odd to me because for whatever reason, I didn't think Vegas would have gangsters. (my ignorance i suppose)\n\nAnyhoo... I believe it was our third night there, we were fast asleep when no joke, we hear gunshots. And this wasn't gunshots from 2 blocks away, these were close range shots. My ex then jumped up and threw us both on the floor.\n\nAfter we determined it was safe to get up, we heard cops. We didn't think much of it until they got closer.\n\nTo make a long story short, it turns out that one room over from us is where the shooting happened. The gunshots went through a wall into the next room (next door to us). \n\nWe never found out who shot who or what really happened, but let's just say that I will never stay at the Gangsterlodge again."^^ .
