We've Never Seen a Door Latch Like This Before
When we turn out the light for the night in our hotel room, there's one thing we always do--and that's slide the safety latch above the door lock into place.
Sure, a determined thief could use a special tool to dismantle the latch but we still feel safer doing it.
Usually, the safety latch is a chain link with a nobbin on the end of it that you insert into another piece on the door. When the door opens, it immediately gets caught by the latch. (OMG we totally just tried to explain how a safety latch works.)
Anyways, most hotels have that chain link but at the new B Ocean Hotel in Fort Lauderdale (Guess the Hotel revealed!), we spotted a new sexier kind of door latch.

Sorry, But Getting Locked Out of a Killer View is an Anti-View
While Vegas is known for its anti-views, anytime you have a room that looks out onto hotels along the Strip, no matter how many rooftops you can see below, it's pretty much considered a killer view. Or at the very least, the hotels are going to charge you a little bit more for rooms with a view of the neon skyline.
But what if you get a room with a decent view and a balcony but the sliding door is locked? That's what we found at Bally's last weekend. Check out these scary-looking window locks on the sliding doors.
This was taken from a room on the 25th floor--a smoking room. Yeah, the cigarette stench is not leaving this room. Ever. Then again, rooms are a dirt cheap $45 a night.
A shot of the room view is after the jump.
