Clark County has its first five-star resort, at least if you believe what you read on the Internet.
In a post on Yelp.com, a site where people can review hotels, restaurants and the like, Yelp contributor “Lucky V.” extols the virtues of the Clark County Jail as a five-star “leisure center.”
“I have had the opportunity to reside here twice in the last six months,” writes Lucky, who claims to have enjoyed not only the rooms and meals, but the library, the store, group activities and the full array of educational, medical and legal services available to the guests.
“Of all of the places I have stayed overnight at, this is the only one that has a car service to pick you up,” Lucky says, going on to talk about the “Club Med feel” of the logo-adorned clothing.
Lucky also liked the industrial-like atmosphere, and notes that slippers are provided to keep your feet warm on the cold concrete floors.
Not that Lucky has reviewed many “leisure centers.” In fact, the review, posted last month, was apparently his first on Yelp.
Lucky’s gushing review was making the rounds at the jail Tuesday, where the hard-working guest services team was enjoying it, according to Clark County Sheriff’s Sgt. Fred Neiman.
As is often the case, the “leisure center” was heavily booked Tuesday night, with 727 guests checked in as of midafternoon. After checking with the “hotel” director, Neiman reported the guests were to enjoy a fine dinner of Italian pasta, green beans, green salad with dressing, bread with margarine and one powdered beverage packet.
So, as Lucky writes, how do you get a room? “Well, they don’t have a reservation line. However, they do have representatives that travel around and maybe, if you’re lucky, you’ll get selected.”
