Indian Content Creator Shocked By Rs 1,200 Water Bottle At Las Vegas' Caesars Palace

To his shock, the price for a 200ml bottle was $14.99 (approximately Rs 1200). The unexpected cost left him stunned and frustrated. He shared his experience on X and criticised the hotel, claiming Taj hotels in India offer tons of complimentary items as part of their services and they spoiled him

The YouTuber wrote, “My biggest culture shock – American Hotels. They just don’t get hospitality. Funny how they ask for tips but won’t even give complimentary water. I stayed at 3 star, 4 star AND today 5 star hotel (Caesars Palace). Maybe I’m spoilt with Taj hotels in India. But basic things like helping with luggage, being accommodating were missing. I check in at 2am tired from the flight and asked for a glass of water, they say ‘it’s $14.99 for a 200ml bottle you can buy it.’ And this is a $200 per night hotel. Complete lack of empathy. Unbelievable. Never expected this.”S

Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “Indian hospitality standards are by far the highest, Indian brands must take this lead, we can be a global leader in this sector.”

Another shared, “Americans come to Asia for hospitality. You will get best loyalty recognition in SE Asia & India only and it is not limited to Taj.”

“You can drink the tap water at American hotels, but you cannot at most in India. So in India free bottled water is likely mandatory and necessary. Whereas in America the bottled water at a hotel is usually ‘fancy’,” a comment read.

Another wrote, “We take ‘Athithi devo bhav’ seriously.”

An individual shared, “Welcome to reality bro.”

One more added, “It’s Vegas. It’s designed to get money out of you at every step and Caesar’s is a basic hotel. Now, if you’d gotten one of their high end suites, they’d have thrown in a lot of free stuff.”
