Why do they want room keys
[QUOTE=MagikalMassag;4101062]In reality most rooms do not connect to the central computer servers. They are independent door locks. They have a time and date code inside them.
Unlike what the movies portray they cannot deactivater a given key at 95% of locations.
Best advice is to keep an old key and give it to them with the room across the hall.
That's the best way to get entertainment.
Some people write the room number on the sleeve to remember the room.
If you do this invert 2 numbers in a fashion you know.
If they see your key in your hand they can get the room number if its written on the sleeve.
But keep the key away from your cell phone as it can deactivate the key.
Also use an RFID blocker as some very savy people use cloners to get the key info without you.
And then you tell them the room number and they keep you busy while their friend looks at your room.
Vegas is a techie haven for thieves.
To know if your door is connected to a central system look to see if there are wires going from door-frame to door.
Most of the doors are battery operated locks. I once had them change the batteries in front of me because it didn't work even the new key.[/QUOTE]To flash to security so they can gain access to the elevator.
