hotel security
- As gambling is a regulated industry in the State of New Jersey, the Casino Control Commission requires that the person whose name is on the original hotel reservation must be the person checking into the casino hotel. Identification documents will be required – the Office of Homeland Security & the NJ State Casino Control Commission requires strict identification procedures upon Check-In at the Front Desk.
(Your social security number will not be needed) - When arriving in your room, check entry door lock functions, as well as the security bolt lock action.
- Check all areas of your room (bath, closet, etc.) before letting the bellman go.
- Review the information and maps posted on the inside of your guest room door and familiarize yourself with the nearest emergency exits.
- Always use the door viewer to identify anyone requesting entry. If a person claims to be a hotel employee, call the front desk and ask if someone is supposed to have access to your room.
- Report any lost or stolen items to hotel management and to the police.
- Never leave money, checks, credit cards, jewelry, laptops or other valuables in your room. Take valuables with you or store them in the hotel safety deposit box or in-room safe.
