Dog-friendly Las Vegas

Basenji Talk
  • E

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    We have one of those spray heads on our shower that you can take off and use by hand. I get the water nice and warm, and even though Samantha isn't excited to jump in the tub, she's so good to just stand there and relax while I lather her up with doggie shampoo and rinse her off. I used to have to wrestle with my other B's to get them clean! I guess the old German saying: "All good things come in threes" is really true!

    The only sweat glands on a dog are on the feet. They keep their foot pads supple, but also sent mark the trail. I actually like the way goober smells. Probably because I grew up with a dish called Frito and Chili pie. My old dog Missy had the standard stinky dog smell which I wasn't too fond of, but I didn't hate it enough to give her a bath more than once a month. I wonder if th

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    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.

    That is a great idea, but it should be an adolescent for sure (seems to be the most trying stage). My mom also really liked our dog (the look, the no bark, typical things most people like) and she quickly changed her ideas. We were telling her about the time we had to babysit another dog and the things she did to let us know that she did not like another dog in our house (she did some very naughty things)! My mom said 'wow she is really a manipulating dog'. I said, yeah they are definately not a breed for everyone.
