An Indian YouTuber’s X post about Caesars Palace in Las Vegas went viral recently. In his caption, Ishan Sharma criticised the kind of hospitality he received at American hotels. He claimed that it was the “biggest culture shock” he faced. He noted that “basic things like helping with luggage, being accommodating were missing”. He also gave an example of his experience at Caesars Palace (an iconic luxury hotel in Las Vegas). He explained that after checking in at 2 am and requesting a glass of water, he was simply told to buy a 200 ml bottle for $14.99 (approx Rs 1200).
