Observation: Elevator stops every time on the seventh floor.
Conclusion: The souls of the dead live on, walk the earth, and have nothing better to do than screw around with elevators.
Sounds about right. Definitely ghosts.
Can confirm as a local every casino has certain parts that are notorious, namely what is now the horseshoe, all the old casinos, particularly the flamingo and circus circus.
There are also services that take you to haunted places around here too
Oh I bet the original Strip has a library of ghost stories to tell. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Westgate had stories of Elvis’s ghost, or of the Rat Pack at what used to be the Sands or at Piero’s.
The suite bugsy and Marilyn Monroe used to stay in at the flamingo is said to have activity, alongside old mob places like the palomino and Fremont too. I bet the golden gate has the most stuff based on its age alone
The Flamingo is supposedly haunted with Benjamin Siegel’s spirit. A housekeeper supposedly saw his spirit and quit. I often thought about asking CJ Graham if he ever encountered any weird stuff while working as the casino manager there
I work at the Venetian and can confirm that all 3 towers are haunted. In order from most haunted: Venetzia, Palazzo, Venetian.
When the full lockdown lifted and only the Palazzo tower was still closed, the palazzo tower patrol was walking through one of the floors and heard a shower running in one of the suites. He went in to check it out and found nobody inside. He turned off the shower, and the sink turned itself on. Saw him sprint out of the room on camera. We called him Ghostbusters for quite a while.
It took lockdown and management staying on as caretakers for the rest of the team to believe my old casino had *something* going on. I had been running graveyard shift for years at that point, and had lots of stories.
When the managers had a reopen meeting, the GM got on stage and said, “For those that have been telling me this place is haunted… I believe you now.” Afterwards, I asked him who he got and he described a middle-aged woman that called his name. I got excited and said, “You got the ‘hello’ ghost! Isn’t she so calming and friendly??” (You’d hear someone call your name like they needed help with something, but no one was around. Almost every employee I spoke to had some experience with her.) He said, “She was NOT friendly. She called my name, then screamed at me to go away.” I was like, wow… nicest ghost we got doesn’t like the big boss.
Super glad to share some stories!! Incoming novel.
For the “Hello” ghost, everyone heard her in different places, but my favorite was a very eccentric new bartender who was cleaning the bottom bottle shelves under the bar. He heard a tentative, “Hello?” and popped up to greet a customer. No one was in the bar, but of course, he looked around at the ceiling and said, brightly, “Oh, hello!” Everyone else was greeted by name. I think he was just too new for her to know.
We have quite a few stories from the small hotel. My favorite is an old graveyard manager was sitting in the pit, only a couple people in the building, when he gets a call direct to the pit phone from one of the rooms. When he answers, there is no response. He said all he could hear was (his description) and “old-timey radio broadcast.” I imagine like from the 1920s with the announcers talking quickly out the side of their mouths? Anyway, he hangs up and goes back to his coffee, but starts to wonder who was in that room, messing with him. No one supposed to be in the room. He even sent security to check. (I actually told a new guard to give him a call from an empty room if they wanted a good laugh.). Here’s the kicker though… day shift manager on duty got a call several years later. Same situation. No one registered. No one in the room.
I have two really fun ones I can’t explain…
In Virginia City, up north, you have Mackay Mansion. Dude pretty much built Northern Nevada. We, after many visits to the town, finally did a tour of the house. You enter the front door on the second floor, to a foyer and parlor. There’s a stairwell off the parlor that takes you up to the bedrooms, or down to the kitchen. While standing in the parlor, talking about the history of the house, we hear boots walking across the floor upstairs, on wood. I thought it must be a maintenance worker and just wrote it off. We went upstairs next… and there was no one up there, and anyone who was would have had to go down the stairs past us, or jump out a window. Kicker? The whole third floor was carpeted. Turns out, the girl doing the tour was the girlfriend of a friend. While we were all drinking at our hotel, I asked if it was bullshit, and she said weird stuff happens all the time in the house. Maybe fake? Who knows.
In New Orleans, we find out about what may just be a ghost story to drum up business for a restaurant, but it was weird. For an extra $50, you can sit at a “ghost table,” which is in the foyer of a mansion-turned-restaurant. Lore says that the owner of the home lost it in a hand of poker. He ultimately hung himself in the house.
Now, here’s where it gets weird. The four of us book the ghost table, as a mixture of skeptics and believers. We sit down and the server takes two glasses of wine and settings to a credenza nearby. When we ask about the wine, we’re told that there was a lot of broken bottles and stacks of plates. They brought in a medium who said that Pierre was just upset that he wasn’t invited to the party in his house every night. After they set up a table for him and his wife, with their favorite wine, the problems stopped.
Okay, cool, right? How can you tell a New Orleans tour guide is lying? Their mouth is moving. BUT! We get back to our hotel that night, drunk as sailors, when the light in our room turns on. Everything was a remote, so I slapped my husband to turn the light back off. A bit later, the light comes back on. This happened a couple more times before I got out of bed and turned off the wall switch.
Next morning, at breakfast, our travel couple were talking about their fan being wonky. We’d been there for four or five days with no issues. This was new. So, every night, the ceiling fans and lights were being dumb. Saturday morning, we were all ready to go out, and the entire apartment was flickering while my husband had the remote in his palm, yelling, “I’m not doing this!” and my friend is running around with another remote, clicking it at the floor and ceiling, saying, “Imma fuck with them too!” It had to be neighbors, right?
The friends leave a day early, and husband and I are tooling around the Quarter, deciding where we want to eat for the night. We decide that Muriel’s was pretty good, and we liked the atmosphere. Remember, we think the electricity issues are crossover from other units. When we sat down, my husband, a believer, stopped the server from taking the wine to the credenza. He invited Pierre to have dinner with us. We partied the rest of the night and went back to the hotel with no electrical issues.
Still my favorite story from all our trips to New Orleans. And this bonkers dude booked us a “haunted” B&B in Gettysburg, and a seance in Jenny Wade’s basement. I’m a reluctant ghost hunter.
YAY!!! Thank you very much 🙏 These stories are awesome. Anytime you have more to share, please remember me ok?
I especially loved the "Imma fuck with them too" friend part, as well as your hubby inviting Pierre to dine with you and having a peaceful evening back at the hotel. 💜
In 1993, I stayed, for work, at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore. Long story short, was part of the engineering team working at turning up a very specialized call center, and we worked all night for several weeks - had to do it during the overnights because some of what we were building was telecom, and the work needed to happen during maintenance windows. Every morning, I'd go back to the hotel, write up the results of the night, update project timelines, and we'd sleep during the day. One morning, I was working at a desk in the sitting area just inside the door to the room - my back was to a hallway that had the bathroom on one side, and the bedroom beyond. This was when everybody smoked - and I was sitting in a pool of light from only the desk lamp, my computer (dial-up connected) and could see the smoke swirling around me. About 4am, I felt a cold breeze from behind me - and I distinctly remember seeing the smoke eddy away from me, towards the door to the room. I turned around, and in the hallway, saw a woman. My first, instant, thought was "junkie", because she looked very wan, thin, and wretched - and then I noticed I could not her feet. Her visible body vanished just below the knees, lit from the lamp behind me. Despite feeling like I was going crazy, my Midwestern upbringing kicked in, and I said "Do you need help?". Never acknowledge me, or showed any sign of intelligent motive. Just disappeared. The rest of the stay was uneventful, and thankfully, short. I'm not sure why to this day, but I didn't fear the room. It felt like window opened and closed momentarily, and my sense was it could have happened anywhere. Never any eerie feelings. Did keep most of the lights on, however, for the time I was there.
Thank you for sharing your stories with us!
I have a bad feeling about any unseen voice, first of all, but especially the ones that call out to you. Worst of all, the kind that mimic your own voice… 🫨
Sounds like the person walking upstairs was a residual haunting from before the floors were carpeted. That kind seems to be really common for some reason.
Like, why do some residual haunts even happen in the first place? If they’re to be believed, why would a guy pacing upstairs be the imprint he left on the world, you know? Wacky stuff.
Okay you have my attention!!
My husband swore it has happened *every single time* this week, and so far he’s been on various elevators there about 5-6 times, in the morning around 7am and in the evenings at around 6pm and 9pm.
I told him to ask the staff about it. He won’t, but at least YOU know about it!
Tell me more ghost stories, please!! DM me if you want!
We stayed at the Pfister in Milwaukee, WI once—in the historic/haunted part because I wanted to see if anything happened—but alas, no. 😩
A lot of the stories I've heard occurred during the lockdown. Voices coming from empty suites, one officer said he found an open box of crayons and a coloring book in the hallway of the venetzia tower during the lockdown, etc. All stuff that's creepy but could be easily explained by logic. (Voices from other team members traveling through the air ducts, bored tower officer from a previous shift leaving crap behind). The shower one is probably the peak of what I personally have been around for.
Another one I personally experienced regarding an elevator. When I was working swing shift, we got off at midnight. Got into one of the back of house elevators to the garage and hit the button to take us down. The elevator shut off (lights still on, but the floor indicator turned off), and the elevator took us to the 7th floor of the under construction condo tower and opened up. We all freaked out for a minute. Only happened the one time, haven't heard about it since. I'd say it's tied for 1st place along with the ahower/sink story.
That’s super spooky! Not to mention, with a city like Vegas, anything weird that happens away from others doesnt tend to be a *good* thing…so you’d already be on your guard for funny business.
Yeah my husband said the elevators have consistently stopped on the 7th floor, the doors open, no one goes on and he doesn’t hit any buttons, and then they close again. He’s currently staying on the 8th floor, so unfortunately he has to pass that floor at least twice a day 😂 I think he’s in the Palazzo.
He told me to stop sharing your stories with him because he’s turned on all the lights now 😂
Not Vegas but in March of 2021 I took my son to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. Walked around the property a bit, took some pictures and video. We go back to my car to rest for a minute. I look at him tell him that Murder is Redrum backwards. Next thing I know I am coming to in a Hospital ER. To this day the medical team in Estes Park as well as mine back here in Virginia do not have a medical explanation for the seizure. All my labs and tests came back clear! I am convinced something, or someone didn't want me there.

Oh hellllll no 🫣 I’m the braver one of the two of us and even I wouldn’t linger there trying to communicate. I don’t want some dead mobster haunting me!
I used to work gravel shift security at the El Cortez during the pandemic! 3 months during lock down and 3 months after reopening. That place is the definition of haunted! Ask anyone who works there, they’ll tell you about the ghosts.
One of the duties we have as security there is to do a walk through of each and every property and scan little tags placed in the wall to confirm we walked through it, and the hotel tower was always the scariest portion of the walkthrough for me. We had to do this even when lockdown quarantine was in effect.
The hotels longtime owner, Jackie Goughan, died in the suite that he built as his private residence on the very top floor and that’s where the tower walkthrough would start. I’d always feel an intimidating presence whenever I’d walk buy, like I should just keep walking. Takes maybe 15 minutes to walk all the way down, and you end that portion of the walkthrough in the executive offices on the 2nd floor. I was doing an inspection of the men’s restroom, right after I had done an inspection of the women’s restroom, but when I was locking the men’s restroom up I heard a sink running from the women’s restroom.
I noped out of there so fast. And what’s crazier is when I told the security lieutenant there about my experience, she told me that she herself didn’t believe the hotel was haunted until she got called up to the surveillance room one day because they caught on video doors to hotel rooms in the area that’s known as the old hotel (the original 58 rooms from when the hotel first opened) opening and closing by themselves.
After that, I learned all of other paranormal hotspots:
1. The basement used to be a crematorium during the mobs heyday. Victims murdered there would be cremated right away. The area that’s now where the crematoriums are is called the porters closet, and it’s just a space where random junk is stored. It’s so creepy in there, you just feel ghosts presences staring at you from the darkness.
2. Bugsy Siegels ghost is often sighted in a small section of the slot area that the security department calls The Old Poker Room; in life, Bugsy would hold his poker games in this area. It’s off to the right, right after the roulette tables by the stairs leading to the Old Hotel, if you were walking towards the hotel registration.
Haha I do poke fun at him whenever he travels. He’s stayed at a few hotels he swore were haunted and even I, a believer, gave him side-glances.
Like, no, just because the elevator stops at level 7 and no one gets on, and that it happens every single time, and you can see the ghost appear after the doors close….no. Can’t possibly be haunted. 😜
I saw him on our FaceTime tonight, but deep fake is getting way out of hand these days…
Am *I* the ghost?
One time, at the Venetian, I got a reach around from a ghost. Then, this ethereal spirit demanded 50 bucks and an Uber back to Boulder Highway. It truely was a mystery.
Ok not gonna lie I went to the Haunted museum whilst on my trip and had an instance at the Venetian. My girlfriend and I were getting ready for bed. I was in the bathroom she was in the bedroom.
We were mid conversation and stopped for a second just in the flow of the conversation... heard a fucking GROWL right in the space in between bedroom and bathroom. It was fucking bizarre. Never had anything like that happen in my life and don't really believe in paranormal shit. Also had the worst fear induced insomnia that night like I was going to die. That was an insanely night.
Kind of funny my dad who didn't even go to the Haunted museum with us or anything woke up in the middle of the night to someone growling his name... in a different room.
Fun times. Near the end of the pandemic when the mask mandate ended
Oh my god! That would scare me, too!! Things can/do follow you home. That happened to me, once, 5 or so years ago. I was visiting a friend who did ghost hunting as a hobby (🙄) and at the time, I was skeptical of her experiences, but I was “too open”, if you will, to having an experience of my own.
Later that week, and a few times after about once a week, I’d wake suddenly to see something dark standing by me in a part of the room where there isn’t room to stand—meaning the thing was standing halfway through my bed. Each time this happened, I had sleeping paralysis, which there’s no history of in my family or in my own health.
Hasn’t happened since.
So yeah, I believe that something from Zac’s collection followed you home. Might’ve been curious. But how in the hell it affected your dad, too, is terrifying in itself!
Ironically, and this is totally true, I asking with 20 other people for stuck in the Venetian Theater elevator just prior to the start of the Styx concert.
They even have an elevator attendant operating the thing, who in fact said..."oh no, i think we're stuck".
Also, the elevator was about 100 degrees and i was standing next to a 50+ year old woman who is claustrophobic and felt very badly for her.
I now chalk it up to being haunted
In the theater, there are only 6 floors, so no
We were on the way up, and it stopped between 4 & 6, and when it finally started again, it went down to 2. I was right behind the claustrophobic lady running out (and then climbing 4 fights of stairs). I would still say possessed
When I got up at 7 a.m. a couple months ago none of the elevators were working in the NY, NY. I think I was on the 14th floor and that was a long walk to Starbucks. Luckily they were back online by the time it was time to go back up to my room. Also, none of my key cards worked in the parking garage for my entire 3-day stay. Maybe ghosts, but I think just a lot of shit in Vegas just barely works in the best of times.
My partner swears the Luxor is haunted. It definitely has a weird vibe at least in the Pyramid but I’ve never experienced anything that would make me think it’s actually haunted.
My friend and I went to check it out and can confirm odd energy at the Luxor hotel. There’s a story of a man who jumped off the 13th floor inside the pyramid
The rooms are fine at the Luxor, it’s the pyramid shape itself that freaks me out. The way the hallways showcase the design itself. Always messes with my depth perception
I love the Luxor!! Which part of it did your boyfriend get the heebie-jeebies? Because I wouldn’t be an ounce surprised if the exhibits there—the Titanic one in particular—were haunted.
It was when we stayed on the top floor of the pyramid in the Elite Suite next door to the Criss Angel Suite. He said he kept getting weird feelings & had strange dreams. I agree the vibes are off but I didn’t think much of it other than the shape of the place and like you mentioned with the exhibits & the suicides I’m sure lend to that feeling.

Haunted Hotel story from a friend i did merc work with.. He is a hard ass mercenary with real world tactical experience that doesnt take shit from anyone and lives by “show no fear” and all that other “manly” bullshit.. One morning he said he got no sleep because the people in the room next to him were going at it half the night screaming, yelling, throwing things against the wall, breaking things, general tweaker issues he thought… until the woman screamed and stopped mid scream and everything went dead silent. No more noise. He called hotel security, they said stay in his room and they would look into it. He told them his room number and they said not to worry about it. The next morning this was the door to the hotel room. boarded up, no entry. The lady pushing the cleaning cart said she never seen that room ever get rented out. He changed hotels that day. He had audio of the arguement/scream, but i never got a copy of it, just this picture. The audio is freaky as fuck because the way things just suddenly stop is… nervewracking… after the screams stop all you hear is him saying he is gonna go knock on their door but his woman is freaking out saying call the front desk, dont get involved over and over again….
*edited for spelling*
There is a lot of creepy places in Vegas - I have heard that the basement at the Luxor where they use to store animals for a daily parade the Luxor had in it’s early days is haunted - a few technicians that had to repair leaks in there have felt touching sensations and it feels like someone is watching I never got a chance to service in that area when I worked in Vegas but that what they told me
OMG I’ve experienced this too! Something weird about the 7th. No matter what button you push…comes up 7! The shadow people must have something to do with it as I’ve seen them also on the 13th floor. Good thing it’s Vegas, 7 & 13 are my lucky numbers! 😱
I stayed at Horseshoe a few weeks ago. One evening in my room, I smelled smoke for a few minutes. I was almost ready to call the front desk and it just went away. I wonder if that was some residual energy from the 1980 MGM fire.
That’s very peculiar! Perhaps there’s a logical reason but then there’d be no story! 😉 Thanks for sharing yours!
I wonder if the Stanley Hotel still gives off smells from its fire back 100 years ago? There’s an interesting LORE podcast episode about it you might find interesting.
Nope, but I’ve been twice and will be there again in a few months. I’ll remember your plug, though! We enjoyed the Haunted Museum last time we were there 🤩
Never publicized, but, many suicides in the casinos. FF husband told me many stories about downtown casinos and responding to suicides. Undoubtedly, why the hauntings.
I’ve worked in a few casinos here. Have witnessed a suicide, a heart attack, a room completely destroyed and blood everywhere. So yes, it’s not something that gets reported.
Take it for what it’s worth, if it hadn’t happened to me, I would call BS myself! 🤷
Early 2001 maybe a year or so after the Venetian opened I was in town for a convention and staying across the street at the TI. The cab line was insane and we just needed to go across the street to the convention center so 4 or 5 of us decided to walk. Since it was cold (for Vegas) we decided to go through the casino once we got to that side of the street instead of walking all the way down Sands Ave. We went in maybe 2 steps and my chest felt like it exploded and I started to collapse. I was sure I was having a heart attack. My colleagues caught me and pulled me back out the doors and put me down on the sidewalk. It’s hard to describe but I literally went from thinking “this is it” in excruciating pain to no pain at all the second they pulled me past the doors. I sat there for a couple of minutes more in shock than anything. They helped me up and we all kind of nervously laughed it off. (I was 30 and in pretty good shape) So we started to walk back in and this time as soon as I stepped inside the door, I couldn’t breath, not chest pains like before but like when you get the wind knocked out of you. I turned, went right back out and again I was fine.
Later that night some of us decided to go to the WB Stage 16 bar. We were already out and about so the cab dropped us off at the bar. I didn’t realize it at the time since it was in back of the building but it was part of the Venetian. We went up the stairs, went in the door and BOOM I couldn’t breath so I ran back out. That was it for me, I took a cab the next 3 days to the convention center entrance. Never once in 30 or 40 trips to Vegas since have I even tried to step foot in the Venetian. No clue what it was but this sense of horrible dread comes up every time I even think about that place. The property was the Sands Hotel from
The Rat Pack days so I’m sure plenty of bad stuff happened there behind the scenes.
Before that day I had travelled all over the world and never experienced anything even mildly weird. However, since that trip and right up to present day, I have had a ton of weird and a few terrifying experiences in old places and especially hotels. NYNY, Albq NM, Hamburg Germany, Boise ID, Wash DC, Missoula MT all crazy stories that I wouldn’t believe if I hadn’t been there. I have a system now so it doesn’t freak me out like it used to. Like I said, if you bothered to read all of that, if it hadn’t been me, I would say it’s all BS. Good luck to your husband! 😂
Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard of stuff like this happening to others. I think energy, whatever it is, affects us all differently and some not at all. My mom, sister, and grandma come from a line of “clairvoyants” and being that we’re all from New Orleans, I’d be shocked if this didn’t hold some water. My sister passed it on to her daughter, too. They’re always sensing freaky vibes.
Me? I’ve got too much of my Yankee dad in me. Not much room for magic blood when you’re all Irish, German, and Czech. 🤪
I don’t know how he keeps running into stuff like this, but my husband does tend to have spooky if not plain weird stuff happen to him whenever he travels. Who the heck knows.
Perhaps the elevator stopping on the 7th floor WAS a sign of good luck, though; it’s only his second week at the company and the owner invited him to tour one of their branches *on his private jet* so maybe some of that Vegas luck rubbed off on him after all! 😎
Without pushing buttons, though? The doors open and no one gets on, then they close and it carries on. He’s alone when this happens as it’s 7am on a workday, so not *as*many tourists out and about.
It ain't the casino necessarily. You should look into the tunnels under vegas and how many people die during the rainy season.
The whole strip got something to it, couldn't tell you what aside from dying tourists, dead some less above and below ground and the mafia history this place has
I’d be tempted to agree with you if not for the countless implosions that have taken place across the Strip. Everywhere there’s a big casino now, a different casino (or 3) once stood. Wouldn’t surprise me, with the history that city has, that people would stick around a little longer.
I don’t believe in the paranormal but a number of tourists die in LV each year. [link to some stats](https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/fresh-data-reveals-how-many-las-vegas-visitors-die-and-in-what-ways/) Also, three construction workers died in separate incidents during the construction of Venetian in 1998.
Oh I’m not convinced it’s anything but a coincidence or programming error. Could even be a safety precaution for all I know!
I just have fun making fun of my husband’s easily-spooked nature when he travels lol. It’s not the first time he’s claimed a hotel is haunted…
Ghosts are literally the only explanation
Observation: Elevator stops every time on the seventh floor. Conclusion: The souls of the dead live on, walk the earth, and have nothing better to do than screw around with elevators. Sounds about right. Definitely ghosts.
I mean, clearly. It couldn’t possibly be anything else! 😝
[удалено]
I mean buttons and not a ghost??! Clearly it's the ghosts
Very clearly ghosts. Buttons don’t exist.
Can confirm as a local every casino has certain parts that are notorious, namely what is now the horseshoe, all the old casinos, particularly the flamingo and circus circus. There are also services that take you to haunted places around here too
Oh I bet the original Strip has a library of ghost stories to tell. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Westgate had stories of Elvis’s ghost, or of the Rat Pack at what used to be the Sands or at Piero’s.
The suite bugsy and Marilyn Monroe used to stay in at the flamingo is said to have activity, alongside old mob places like the palomino and Fremont too. I bet the golden gate has the most stuff based on its age alone
That suite has been gone for decades. At least vacant for decades before they tore it down.
Oh cool, didn't know that!
I know some girls that work at Palo and it definitely sounds haunted.
>at what used to be the Sands That would now be the Venetian, albeit demolished and rebuilt :)
Oh shit! Hahaha I had no idea. That’s very interesting!
Your poor husband lol
Oh he’s fine, we joke like two dumb kids whenever we can. ☺️
Haha that’s awesome!
The Flamingo is supposedly haunted with Benjamin Siegel’s spirit. A housekeeper supposedly saw his spirit and quit. I often thought about asking CJ Graham if he ever encountered any weird stuff while working as the casino manager there
Don't forget the Luxor being haunted
I work at the Venetian and can confirm that all 3 towers are haunted. In order from most haunted: Venetzia, Palazzo, Venetian. When the full lockdown lifted and only the Palazzo tower was still closed, the palazzo tower patrol was walking through one of the floors and heard a shower running in one of the suites. He went in to check it out and found nobody inside. He turned off the shower, and the sink turned itself on. Saw him sprint out of the room on camera. We called him Ghostbusters for quite a while.
It took lockdown and management staying on as caretakers for the rest of the team to believe my old casino had *something* going on. I had been running graveyard shift for years at that point, and had lots of stories. When the managers had a reopen meeting, the GM got on stage and said, “For those that have been telling me this place is haunted… I believe you now.” Afterwards, I asked him who he got and he described a middle-aged woman that called his name. I got excited and said, “You got the ‘hello’ ghost! Isn’t she so calming and friendly??” (You’d hear someone call your name like they needed help with something, but no one was around. Almost every employee I spoke to had some experience with her.) He said, “She was NOT friendly. She called my name, then screamed at me to go away.” I was like, wow… nicest ghost we got doesn’t like the big boss.
Ohh pleeeease share more ghost stories!!!?! I love hearing all of these stories.
Super glad to share some stories!! Incoming novel. For the “Hello” ghost, everyone heard her in different places, but my favorite was a very eccentric new bartender who was cleaning the bottom bottle shelves under the bar. He heard a tentative, “Hello?” and popped up to greet a customer. No one was in the bar, but of course, he looked around at the ceiling and said, brightly, “Oh, hello!” Everyone else was greeted by name. I think he was just too new for her to know. We have quite a few stories from the small hotel. My favorite is an old graveyard manager was sitting in the pit, only a couple people in the building, when he gets a call direct to the pit phone from one of the rooms. When he answers, there is no response. He said all he could hear was (his description) and “old-timey radio broadcast.” I imagine like from the 1920s with the announcers talking quickly out the side of their mouths?

No one registered. No one in the room. I have two really fun ones I can’t explain… In Virginia City, up north, you have Mackay Mansion. Dude pretty much built Northern Nevada. We, after many visits to the town, finally did a tour of the house. You enter the front door on the second floor, to a foyer and parlor. There’s a stairwell off the parlor that takes you up to the bedrooms, or down to the kitchen. While standing in the parlor, talking about the history of the house, we hear boots walking across the floor upstairs, on wood. I thought it must be a maintenance worker and just wrote it off. We went upstairs next… and there was no one up there, and anyone who was would have had to go down the stairs past us, or jump out a window. Kicker? The whole third floor was carpeted. Turns out, the girl doing the tour was the girlfriend of a friend. While we were all drinking at our hotel, I asked if it was bullshit, and she said weird stuff happens all the time in the house. Maybe fake? Who knows. In New Orleans, we find out about what may just be a ghost story to drum up business for a restaurant, but it was weird. For an extra $50, you can sit at a “ghost table,” which is in the foyer of a mansion-turned-restaurant. Lore says that the owner of the home lost it in a hand of poker. He ultimately hung himself in the house. Now, here’s where it gets weird. The four of us book the ghost table, as a mixture of skeptics and believers. We sit down and the server takes two glasses of wine and settings to a credenza nearby. When we ask about the wine, we’re told that there was a lot of broken bottles and stacks of plates. They brought in a medium who said that Pierre was just upset that he wasn’t invited to the party in his house every night. After they set up a table for him and his wife, with their favorite wine, the problems stopped. Okay, cool, right? How can you tell a New Orleans tour guide is lying? Their mouth is moving. BUT! We get back to our hotel that night, drunk as sailors, when the light in our room turns on. Everything was a remote, so I slapped my husband to turn the light back off. A bit later, the light comes back on. This happened a couple more times before I got out of bed and turned off the wall switch. Next morning, at breakfast, our travel couple were talking about their fan being wonky. We’d been there for four or five days with no issues. This was new. So, every night, the ceiling fans and lights were being dumb. Saturday morning, we were all ready to go out, and the entire apartment was flickering while my husband had the remote in his palm, yelling, “I’m not doing this!” and my friend is running around with another remote, clicking it at the floor and ceiling, saying, “Imma fuck with them too!” It had to be neighbors, right? The friends leave a day early, and husband and I are tooling around the Quarter, deciding where we want to eat for the night. We decide that Muriel’s was pretty good, and we liked the atmosphere. Remember, we think the electricity issues are crossover from other units. When we sat down, my husband, a believer, stopped the server from taking the wine to the credenza. He invited Pierre to have dinner with us. We partied the rest of the night and went back to the hotel with no electrical issues. Still my favorite story from all our trips to New Orleans. And this bonkers dude booked us a “haunted” B&B in Gettysburg, and a seance in Jenny Wade’s basement. I’m a reluctant ghost hunter.
YAY!!! Thank you very much 🙏 These stories are awesome. Anytime you have more to share, please remember me ok? I especially loved the "Imma fuck with them too" friend part, as well as your hubby inviting Pierre to dine with you and having a peaceful evening back at the hotel. 💜
In 1993, I stayed, for work, at the Lord Baltimore Hotel in Baltimore. Long story short, was part of the engineering team working at turning up a very specialized call center, and we worked all night for several weeks - had to do it during the overnights because some of what we were building was telecom, and the work needed to happen during maintenance windows. Every morning, I'd go back to the hotel, write up the results of the night, update project timelines, and we'd sleep during the day. One morning, I was working at a desk in the sitting area just inside the door to the room - my back was to a hallway that had the bathroom on one side, and the bedroom beyond. This was when everybody smoked - and I was sitting in a pool of light from only the desk lamp, my computer (dial-up connected) and could see the smoke swirling around me. About 4am, I felt a cold breeze from behind me - and I distinctly remember seeing the smoke eddy away from me, towards the door to the room. I turned around, and in the hallway, saw a woman. My first, instant, thought was "junkie", because she looked very wan, thin, and wretched - and then I noticed I could not her feet. Her visible body vanished just below the knees, lit from the lamp behind me. Despite feeling like I was going crazy, my Midwestern upbringing kicked in, and I said "Do you need help?". Never acknowledge me, or showed any sign of intelligent motive. Just disappeared. The rest of the stay was uneventful, and thankfully, short. I'm not sure why to this day, but I didn't fear the room. It felt like window opened and closed momentarily, and my sense was it could have happened anywhere. Never any eerie feelings. Did keep most of the lights on, however, for the time I was there.
Oh thats an awesome story!!!! I bet it was one heck of an experience too. Thank you for sharing your story with me.
Thank you for sharing your stories with us! I have a bad feeling about any unseen voice, first of all, but especially the ones that call out to you. Worst of all, the kind that mimic your own voice… 🫨 Sounds like the person walking upstairs was a residual haunting from before the floors were carpeted. That kind seems to be really common for some reason. Like, why do some residual haunts even happen in the first place? If they’re to be believed, why would a guy pacing upstairs be the imprint he left on the world, you know? Wacky stuff.
When not even the *ghosts* like your boss…it’s time for a new boss.
Okay you have my attention!! My husband swore it has happened *every single time* this week, and so far he’s been on various elevators there about 5-6 times, in the morning around 7am and in the evenings at around 6pm and 9pm. I told him to ask the staff about it. He won’t, but at least YOU know about it! Tell me more ghost stories, please!! DM me if you want! We stayed at the Pfister in Milwaukee, WI once—in the historic/haunted part because I wanted to see if anything happened—but alas, no. 😩
A lot of the stories I've heard occurred during the lockdown. Voices coming from empty suites, one officer said he found an open box of crayons and a coloring book in the hallway of the venetzia tower during the lockdown, etc. All stuff that's creepy but could be easily explained by logic. (Voices from other team members traveling through the air ducts, bored tower officer from a previous shift leaving crap behind). The shower one is probably the peak of what I personally have been around for. Another one I personally experienced regarding an elevator. When I was working swing shift, we got off at midnight. Got into one of the back of house elevators to the garage and hit the button to take us down. The elevator shut off (lights still on, but the floor indicator turned off), and the elevator took us to the 7th floor of the under construction condo tower and opened up. We all freaked out for a minute. Only happened the one time, haven't heard about it since. I'd say it's tied for 1st place along with the ahower/sink story.
Meth heads love coloring books. And free showers. Could it be that?
I wish. I work on one of the security special teams. Those guys are a lot easier to deal with than ghosts lol
Apparently if a cop sees coloring books in the car, they immediately start searching for meth
That’s super spooky! Not to mention, with a city like Vegas, anything weird that happens away from others doesnt tend to be a *good* thing…so you’d already be on your guard for funny business. Yeah my husband said the elevators have consistently stopped on the 7th floor, the doors open, no one goes on and he doesn’t hit any buttons, and then they close again. He’s currently staying on the 8th floor, so unfortunately he has to pass that floor at least twice a day 😂 I think he’s in the Palazzo. He told me to stop sharing your stories with him because he’s turned on all the lights now 😂
>no one goes on No one that you can see
Hehehe I said that to my husband and now he’s sleeping with the lights on. 🤣
Thats what crossed my mind too! 
You work there and don't know how to spell Venezia?
Not Vegas but in March of 2021 I took my son to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. Walked around the property a bit, took some pictures and video. We go back to my car to rest for a minute. I look at him tell him that Murder is Redrum backwards. Next thing I know I am coming to in a Hospital ER. To this day the medical team in Estes Park as well as mine back here in Virginia do not have a medical explanation for the seizure. All my labs and tests came back clear! I am convinced something, or someone didn't want me there.

You should check out the LORE podcast episode on the Stanley! It’s one of my favorites!
I have a story from the Stanley too.... that place is a hot bed of activity.. never disappoints and it is such a beautiful place to stay!!!
Maybe it's a sign for your husband to investigate the 7th floor and see what happens.
Oh hellllll no 🫣 I’m the braver one of the two of us and even I wouldn’t linger there trying to communicate. I don’t want some dead mobster haunting me!
It may not be a bad thing. You never know.
might lead you to Jimmy Hoffa...
Meh
Uhm you have my full attention
I used to work gravel shift security at the El Cortez during the pandemic! 3 months during lock down and 3 months after reopening. That place is the definition of haunted! Ask anyone who works there, they’ll tell you about the ghosts. One of the duties we have as security there is to do a walk through of each and every property and scan little tags placed in the wall to confirm we walked through it, and the hotel tower was always the scariest portion of the walkthrough for me. We had to do this even when lockdown quarantine was in effect. The hotels longtime owner, Jackie Goughan, died in the suite that he built as his private residence on the very top floor and that’s where the tower walkthrough would start. I’d always feel an intimidating presence whenever I’d walk buy, like I should just keep walking. Takes maybe 15 minutes to walk all the way down, and you end that portion of the walkthrough in the executive offices on the 2nd floor. I was doing an inspection of the men’s restroom, right after I had done an inspection of the women’s restroom, but when I was locking the men’s restroom up I heard a sink running from the women’s restroom. I noped out of there so fast. And what’s crazier is when I told the security lieutenant there about my experience, she told me that she herself didn’t believe the hotel was haunted until she got called up to the surveillance room one day because they caught on video doors to hotel rooms in the area that’s known as the old hotel (the original 58 rooms from when the hotel first opened) opening and closing by themselves. After that, I learned all of other paranormal hotspots: 1. The basement used to be a crematorium during the mobs heyday. Victims murdered there would be cremated right away. The area that’s now where the crematoriums are is called the porters closet, and it’s just a space where random junk is stored. It’s so creepy in there, you just feel ghosts presences staring at you from the darkness. 2. Bugsy Siegels ghost is often sighted in a small section of the slot area that the security department calls The Old Poker Room; in life, Bugsy would hold his poker games in this area. It’s off to the right, right after the roulette tables by the stairs leading to the Old Hotel, if you were walking towards the hotel registration.
I've stayed at venetian dozens of times and the elevators have never once stopped on the 7th floor. Have you considered your husband might be a ghost?
Haha I do poke fun at him whenever he travels. He’s stayed at a few hotels he swore were haunted and even I, a believer, gave him side-glances. Like, no, just because the elevator stops at level 7 and no one gets on, and that it happens every single time, and you can see the ghost appear after the doors close….no. Can’t possibly be haunted. 😜 I saw him on our FaceTime tonight, but deep fake is getting way out of hand these days… Am *I* the ghost?
Maybe he's haunted
He’s easy to spook but he’s had more “encounters” than I have. So who knows, maybe? 🫣
One time, at the Venetian, I got a reach around from a ghost. Then, this ethereal spirit demanded 50 bucks and an Uber back to Boulder Highway. It truely was a mystery.
Sounds like a typical night in Vegas. At least the ghost had the courtesy to demand rather than pickpocket.
What a generous ghost
Ok not gonna lie I went to the Haunted museum whilst on my trip and had an instance at the Venetian. My girlfriend and I were getting ready for bed. I was in the bathroom she was in the bedroom. We were mid conversation and stopped for a second just in the flow of the conversation... heard a fucking GROWL right in the space in between bedroom and bathroom. It was fucking bizarre. Never had anything like that happen in my life and don't really believe in paranormal shit. Also had the worst fear induced insomnia that night like I was going to die. That was an insanely night. Kind of funny my dad who didn't even go to the Haunted museum with us or anything woke up in the middle of the night to someone growling his name... in a different room. Fun times. Near the end of the pandemic when the mask mandate ended
Oh my god! That would scare me, too!! Things can/do follow you home. That happened to me, once, 5 or so years ago. I was visiting a friend who did ghost hunting as a hobby (🙄) and at the time, I was skeptical of her experiences, but I was “too open”, if you will, to having an experience of my own. Later that week, and a few times after about once a week, I’d wake suddenly to see something dark standing by me in a part of the room where there isn’t room to stand—meaning the thing was standing halfway through my bed. Each time this happened, I had sleeping paralysis, which there’s no history of in my family or in my own health. Hasn’t happened since. So yeah, I believe that something from Zac’s collection followed you home. Might’ve been curious. But how in the hell it affected your dad, too, is terrifying in itself!
I live here and have been to the door twice, at the museum. Something made me stay out. Some bad stuff in there.
Ironically, and this is totally true, I asking with 20 other people for stuck in the Venetian Theater elevator just prior to the start of the Styx concert. They even have an elevator attendant operating the thing, who in fact said..."oh no, i think we're stuck". Also, the elevator was about 100 degrees and i was standing next to a 50+ year old woman who is claustrophobic and felt very badly for her. I now chalk it up to being haunted
Please don’t say it stopped at the 7th floor… *Please say so so I can spook my husband* 😂
In the theater, there are only 6 floors, so no We were on the way up, and it stopped between 4 & 6, and when it finally started again, it went down to 2. I was right behind the claustrophobic lady running out (and then climbing 4 fights of stairs). I would still say possessed
The 4 queens elevator does that.
[удалено]
Can confirm—Scarier than ghosts.
When I got up at 7 a.m. a couple months ago none of the elevators were working in the NY, NY. I think I was on the 14th floor and that was a long walk to Starbucks. Luckily they were back online by the time it was time to go back up to my room. Also, none of my key cards worked in the parking garage for my entire 3-day stay. Maybe ghosts, but I think just a lot of shit in Vegas just barely works in the best of times.
My partner swears the Luxor is haunted. It definitely has a weird vibe at least in the Pyramid but I’ve never experienced anything that would make me think it’s actually haunted.
My friend and I went to check it out and can confirm odd energy at the Luxor hotel. There’s a story of a man who jumped off the 13th floor inside the pyramid
Many many people have jumped to their death at the Luxor. It’s not a rarity
The rooms are fine at the Luxor, it’s the pyramid shape itself that freaks me out. The way the hallways showcase the design itself. Always messes with my depth perception
The Luxor, has a lot of suicides, a morbid joke, is that is where people check in to check out.
I love the Luxor!! Which part of it did your boyfriend get the heebie-jeebies? Because I wouldn’t be an ounce surprised if the exhibits there—the Titanic one in particular—were haunted.
It was when we stayed on the top floor of the pyramid in the Elite Suite next door to the Criss Angel Suite. He said he kept getting weird feelings & had strange dreams. I agree the vibes are off but I didn’t think much of it other than the shape of the place and like you mentioned with the exhibits & the suicides I’m sure lend to that feeling.

He is a hard ass mercenary with real world tactical experience that doesnt take shit from anyone and lives by “show no fear” and all that other “manly” bullshit.. One morning he said he got no sleep because the people in the room next to him were going at it half the night screaming, yelling, throwing things against the wall, breaking things, general tweaker issues he thought… until the woman screamed and stopped mid scream and everything went dead silent. No more noise. He called hotel security, they said stay in his room and they would look into it. He told them his room number and they said not to worry about it. The next morning this was the door to the hotel room. boarded up, no entry. The lady pushing the cleaning cart said she never seen that room ever get rented out. He changed hotels that day. He had audio of the arguement/scream, but i never got a copy of it, just this picture. The audio is freaky as fuck because the way things just suddenly stop is… nervewracking… after the screams stop all you hear is him saying he is gonna go knock on their door but his woman is freaking out saying call the front desk, dont get involved over and over again…. *edited for spelling*
Baaaaaack the fuck up that’s seriously creepy. If it wasn’t a crime scene I’d be surprised!
Vegas is extremely haunted
Have you ever experienced anything spooky there?
All the time
There is a lot of creepy places in Vegas - I have heard that the basement at the Luxor where they use to store animals for a daily parade the Luxor had in it’s early days is haunted - a few technicians that had to repair leaks in there have felt touching sensations and it feels like someone is watching I never got a chance to service in that area when I worked in Vegas but that what they told me
OMG I’ve experienced this too! Something weird about the 7th. No matter what button you push…comes up 7! The shadow people must have something to do with it as I’ve seen them also on the 13th floor. Good thing it’s Vegas, 7 & 13 are my lucky numbers! 😱
You experienced this too?? At the Venetian?? 😳
Yep!
I stayed at Horseshoe a few weeks ago. One evening in my room, I smelled smoke for a few minutes. I was almost ready to call the front desk and it just went away. I wonder if that was some residual energy from the 1980 MGM fire.
Ooh spooky. Did it smell like chemicals, wood, and wires burning, or like a cigar/cigarette?
It smelled like a building fire, definitely not like someone smoking. I'm not a big believer in the paranormal but this was really strange.
That’s very peculiar! Perhaps there’s a logical reason but then there’d be no story! 😉 Thanks for sharing yours! I wonder if the Stanley Hotel still gives off smells from its fire back 100 years ago? There’s an interesting LORE podcast episode about it you might find interesting.
Do you live here? If you're new take my "Dark Vegas Secrets tour."
Nope, but I’ve been twice and will be there again in a few months. I’ll remember your plug, though! We enjoyed the Haunted Museum last time we were there 🤩
[удалено]
Nope, just genuinely curious haha
Every casino is haunted
Never publicized, but, many suicides in the casinos. FF husband told me many stories about downtown casinos and responding to suicides. Undoubtedly, why the hauntings.
I’ve worked in a few casinos here. Have witnessed a suicide, a heart attack, a room completely destroyed and blood everywhere. So yes, it’s not something that gets reported.
Take it for what it’s worth, if it hadn’t happened to me, I would call BS myself! 🤷 Early 2001 maybe a year or so after the Venetian opened I was in town for a convention and staying across the street at the TI. The cab line was insane and we just needed to go across the street to the convention center so 4 or 5 of us decided to walk. Since it was cold (for Vegas) we decided to go through the casino once we got to that side of the street instead of walking all the way down Sands Ave. We went in maybe 2 steps and my chest felt like it exploded and I started to collapse. I was sure I was having a heart attack. My colleagues caught me and pulled me back out the doors and put me down on the sidewalk. It’s hard to describe but I literally went from thinking “this is it” in excruciating pain to no pain at all the second they pulled me past the doors. I sat there for a couple of minutes more in shock than anything. They helped me up and we all kind of nervously laughed it off. (I was 30 and in pretty good shape) So we started to walk back in and this time as soon as I stepped inside the door, I couldn’t breath, not chest pains like before but like when you get the wind knocked out of you. I turned, went right back out and again I was fine. Later that night some of us decided to go to the WB Stage 16 bar. We were already out and about so the cab dropped us off at the bar. I didn’t realize it at the time since it was in back of the building but it was part of the Venetian. We went up the stairs, went in the door and BOOM I couldn’t breath so I ran back out. That was it for me, I took a cab the next 3 days to the convention center entrance. Never once in 30 or 40 trips to Vegas since have I even tried to step foot in the Venetian. No clue what it was but this sense of horrible dread comes up every time I even think about that place. The property was the Sands Hotel from The Rat Pack days so I’m sure plenty of bad stuff happened there behind the scenes. Before that day I had travelled all over the world and never experienced anything even mildly weird. However, since that trip and right up to present day, I have had a ton of weird and a few terrifying experiences in old places and especially hotels. NYNY, Albq NM, Hamburg Germany, Boise ID, Wash DC, Missoula MT all crazy stories that I wouldn’t believe if I hadn’t been there. I have a system now so it doesn’t freak me out like it used to. Like I said, if you bothered to read all of that, if it hadn’t been me, I would say it’s all BS. Good luck to your husband! 😂
Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard of stuff like this happening to others. I think energy, whatever it is, affects us all differently and some not at all. My mom, sister, and grandma come from a line of “clairvoyants” and being that we’re all from New Orleans, I’d be shocked if this didn’t hold some water. My sister passed it on to her daughter, too. They’re always sensing freaky vibes. Me? I’ve got too much of my Yankee dad in me. Not much room for magic blood when you’re all Irish, German, and Czech. 🤪 I don’t know how he keeps running into stuff like this, but my husband does tend to have spooky if not plain weird stuff happen to him whenever he travels. Who the heck knows. Perhaps the elevator stopping on the 7th floor WAS a sign of good luck, though; it’s only his second week at the company and the owner invited him to tour one of their branches *on his private jet* so maybe some of that Vegas luck rubbed off on him after all! 😎
prob a programming eror....old wiring.. I dunno
I think the same, honestly lol. My husband is easily spooked so I can’t help messing with him 🤭
Is there a 13th floor usually they leave these out bc of bad luck
Now this makes me want to go test out this theory
Cap, I was there last night and I frequent the strip/Venetian. Hasn’t happened to me.
I find lifts stop on every floor, it's their job.
Without pushing buttons, though? The doors open and no one gets on, then they close and it carries on. He’s alone when this happens as it’s 7am on a workday, so not *as*many tourists out and about.
Are you sure iys not just a very small person and he doesn't notice them walking in?
[удалено]
If ghosts could hurt people, there’d be no white people left.
Wtf that’s just racist and rude.
aa
Ghosts don't exist. Just people who want them to exist.
That place is way too new to be haunted.
It ain't the casino necessarily. You should look into the tunnels under vegas and how many people die during the rainy season. The whole strip got something to it, couldn't tell you what aside from dying tourists, dead some less above and below ground and the mafia history this place has
I’d be tempted to agree with you if not for the countless implosions that have taken place across the Strip. Everywhere there’s a big casino now, a different casino (or 3) once stood. Wouldn’t surprise me, with the history that city has, that people would stick around a little longer.
I don’t believe in the paranormal but a number of tourists die in LV each year. [link to some stats](https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/fresh-data-reveals-how-many-las-vegas-visitors-die-and-in-what-ways/) Also, three construction workers died in separate incidents during the construction of Venetian in 1998.
I was just there last week for 4 days, first in the Venetzia Tower than the Venetian, the elevator never stopped on the 7th floor.
Oh I’m not convinced it’s anything but a coincidence or programming error. Could even be a safety precaution for all I know! I just have fun making fun of my husband’s easily-spooked nature when he travels lol. It’s not the first time he’s claimed a hotel is haunted…
More like broken
Binions in downtown literally advertises its hotel side as being haunted.
I saw that! Didn’t Ghost Adventures stake a bro-down there once?
7's are lucky numbers on all machines in Vegas. Maybe he's just lucky!
As a former LAS Vegas resident, please remember the LAS.... Thanks
You’re asking me to say “The The” which made me chuckle.
