How depressing. I'll give directly to the maid from now on.

I have returned to my room on several occasions after the supervisor
checked it and before it was made up and the tip has always been
there under those circumstances.

I was really bothered by this email. I usually leave a nice tip (in the room either in the envelope provided or on top of a note) the first day and then smaller ones the days after. We often leave our room before the maids are even in the hallways (we're on Central time and it takes a few days to adjust and by then we usually go back home!) If I do see the maids in the hallways, I do hand it to them, but this is not usually the case and to think that some supervisor would STEAL her own employees tips is very very upsetting! Does anyone else have any resources/contacts in Vegas that they could check this out???
  I can only hope that this is an isolated case with one supervisor at one property. (And I'd love to know which property because if I ever stayed there–I'd check to be sure the maid got the tip and if she didn't I'd be complaining!!!) Anyone??? Any help???

you i think this is isolated case. its hard to fathom
this,but it not out the realm! in anyways that
supervisor should be fired. those maids work hard.
they tidy up your room and service it. they are
assign to clean more than just one room or floor in an
eight hrs.
