One of the benefits of working at Le Concierge SF is that you just never know what requests you will get. Recently a concierge service in Amsterdam called us in San Francisco and said "we have boxes in Vegas, can you get them moved to Qatar?" From packing, to shipping and making sure they got there safely, the journey across the world was a success. It got us thinking, what other crazy requests come out of Vegas - it did not take much research to find some funny stories (as well as similar ones to those Silvia Oppenheim heard at the Ritz Carlton). Just keep in mind the moral of this story, if you are in need of concierge services in San Francisco, no task is to small and no project is took big for Le Concierge SF! Check out these morsels of goodness:
- Where else but in Las Vegas would a concierge desk have a guest request a bathtub full of goat’s milk (the hotel didn’t comply) and another call for a stuffed gorilla to surprise the guest’s beloved?
- One new mother was planning a business trip to Vegas and expressed dismay to her husband about leaving the couple’s infant. The concerned spouse phoned the concierge and asked the desk to print an e-mailed picture of the baby, have it framed and place it by the mom’s bedside, to surprise her. The mother was elated.
- At the Hard Rock, where the hip and trendy gravitate, more bizarre requests have crossed the desk, including a request for Oompa Loompas at a party. Yes, they managed to find actors to do this. No, it wasn’t anything dirty.
- Another strange and memorable request: One guy called and ordered a mariachi band to follow him around the casino all night while he gambled.
If you can imagine it, concierges have probably heard it. Most hotels handle an average of 300 calls a day. Here are some common tasks that concierges routinely perform. Note that some requests, such as charging a cellphone, may include a fee.
- Arrange gifts.
- Find a doctor.
- Charge your cellphone.
- Find a minister.
- Arrange for a bodyguard.
- Hire a limo.
- Charter a private jet.
- Reserve front-row seats at shows.
- Repair shoes.
- Find a tuxedo.
- Arrange a tour.
- Plan birthday parties.
- Map out a hike.
