THE HOTEL WASN’T REAL - BUT PEOPLE PAID TO STAY THERE

What happens when you book a hotel, pay your money, travel hundreds of miles, and discover the hotel either doesn't exist—or has been closed for TWO YEARS? That's exactly what happened in these unbelievable hotel and travel stories. In Las Vegas, people were booking a hotel called the “Pallet Hotel,” only to discover that it was actually the rundown OYO Hotel. Even crazier, the fake hotel advertising was reportedly connected to the actual hotel. And in the UK, a woman arrived at the Shakespeare Inn after 11 PM in pouring rain, only to discover the hotel had been closed for two years while travelers could still book it through TripAdvisor.

This video takes a look at fake hotels, fake reviews, misleading travel advertising, hotel scams, and the growing problem of trusting online listings without verifying them first. We also look at the bizarre story of an allegedly fake Greek amphitheater experience in Italy that resulted in criminal consequences. If you're planning a vacation, booking a hotel, using TripAdvisor, Expedia, Airbnb, or another travel website, this is a warning you don't want to ignore. Always verify the hotel is open, call ahead, and make sure the place you're paying for actually exists before you travel.
