Something to remember is that not all hotel parties are hotel takeovers. Some hotel events could be limited to an entire floor, and some might even be just a group of suites. It is important that you contact the event coordinators and make sure of how the party will be set up.
Dress code rules can change for public areas and play areas based on how much of the hotel space has been taken up by the event. Some hotel events are okay with people running around the hallways in various states of undress, but others may be more stringent due to the presence of non-participating guests.
Now that we’ve covered the business of knowing your hotel party rules and environment, let’s get into the fun stuff.
1. Book a hotel room at the host hotel: This is crucial. Even if you live five miles away, it is often best to have a room. It’s easier to coordinate play and invite others back to your room at a party than to your home. It also provides you with personal space if you need some quiet time to recollect yourself after some fun play. Rooms with two beds are often the best, one for play and one for sleeping without the worry of wet or sticky spots.
2. Toys: Ladies, don’t be afraid to pack a couple of toys to spice up playtime. Swingers love trying new things and really enjoy getting creative. So, grab that toy bag!
3. Hygiene products: If you have sensitive skin or are coming to a hotel party after a long day at work, it’s nice to have your own hygiene and bathing products available. You always want to shower and be as fresh as possible.
4. Appropriate Clothing: Depending on how formal the event is, you’ll decide whether to don an evening gown or a suit and tie. Events like Krazy Winter Nights have a formal dinner and dance, while most others are more casual. Avoid holey jeans and ratty T-shirts. Also, be sure to pack comfortable clothing for after the fun; sweatpants and comfy shoes are a godsend after a night in formal attire and regular shoes.
5. Mints/Gum: Be sure to carry breath-freshening products, especially if you smoke. Non-smokers and such never want to kiss an ashtray. You might also consider bringing a non-offensive body spray to use after smoking.
6. Cash: While credit and debit cards are great, most swinger hotel parties have a cash bar. Remember, these are hotel staff bartenders. Keeping track of tabs may not be their strong suit, and some hotel parties around Nebraska can have over 400 people.
That should cover some basic tips on what to bring and how to prepare for a hotel party. Most of the bigger swingers parties in Omaha, especially, are held in hotels.
