Swinger's Parties at Orlando!!

[Marseeya]

It could have been worse.

It could have been a senior citizen nudist colony!

I don't know if this is the case with this event -- but almost every youth event we go to the Hotel pays a fee to the tournament organizers and then the tournament participants HAVE to stay at one of the hotels on the list.

We went to two baseball tournaments over the summer where we only had the choice of 2 or 3 hotels. My DH is the Coach, he had a hard enough time this summer keeping his boys away from the girls from Cheerleading teams. I can't even imagine the headaches this would involve.

Too bad the article doesn't say anything of the kind.

Actually it does. It says that the children could see in the atrium where naked people were dancing.

 

[christinadei]

Why not? Like I said before, even if the soccer families weren't there, I'm sure there would have been individual families there. And would the hotel necessarily know what type of group books parties with them? I suppose it's possible, but it's also possible that they didn't know they were having a swingers party and a family party--just two parties. Maybe this is a good lesson learned: Always ask if there will be swingers (or other objectionable types) at the hotel before you book.

Honestly, I don't think the hotel was wrong in letting both groups stay at the same time, but I think that the hotel should have made sure that all body parts were properly covered outside of any hotel rooms.

That was a quote, just like the one below it where it was said that there was nothing illegal.

I agree...but if the Orlando cop doing private duty saw nothing illegal..you have to wonder if "nudity" it is an exaggeration. You know, there are a lot of very skimpy outfits that are not illegal...just inappropriate.

Nor do I think the hotel has any obligation to disclose what groups may be staying here at any given time. Groups often change plans/dates and the hotel could be turning away business for no reason.

I don't really see how this is the hotel's responsibility. Unless it is illegal to host a swingers ball. Just because there's a "family group" also staying doesn't mean they shouldn't have allowed the swingers. I'm sure there were plenty of families who weren't part of the group at the hotel too. Do they really have the responsibility of informing all guests about who the other guests are?


Uh, why can't the parents keep their children away from the other people's party?

I think that most hotels expect appropriate dress in the lobbies and common areas of hotels and since all guests are welcomed to use the lobby, the hallways, etc, the hotel should have insisted that ALL guests be appropriately covered. Furthermore, when a hotel books an event, someone needs to take a look at the event and decide if they can accommodate those groups based on the size of the facility and the type of group that booked first. It isn't about informing all guests of who the other guests are but informing one group, who the other large group will be.

Just because something isn't "illegal" doesn't mean its appropriate. If the cop was being paid by this group, it is in his best interest to see "nothing illegal".

No way the hotel should have to inform anybody on who the other guests are, groups or no groups.

Wow. Accuse the cop of being the criminal.

 

[MICKEY88]

Wow. Accuse the cop of being the criminal.

let's be realistic, it happens all the time, cops working private security while off duty, if they like the job and the extra money they will look the other way within reason, after all it was the hotel paying his wages...


do you really think he would tell the watch commander that he witnessed illegal activity, and did nothing about it...

 

[Chuck S]

Cop was being paid by the hotel, not "the group."

Young said he complained to hotel management and to John Hollis, an off-duty Orlando police officer hired by the hotel for a New Year’s Eve security detail. He said neither did anything to help.

pssst....anyone want to buy some photos?? I can't dis all the time

"Lt. John Mina, a watch commander for the Orlando Police Department, said Hollis didn’t witness anything illegal."

Not everything some prudes think is illegal is actually illegal. Chances are the people in question knew exactly what was required to make their activities legal and did just that.

BTW: When people start with "We're not prudes", they are usually prudes.

Wow! we are in agreement!

 

[Shutterbug]

you have to wonder if "nudity" it is an exaggeration. You know, there are a lot of very skimpy outfits that are not illegal...just inappropriate.

I was wondering the same thing. There is nothing illegal about showing all the cleavage. Did they actually see.....?
And about them wearing nothing under the dresses they quite possibly wearing one heck of a skimpy thong. You know I have been to the beach a few times and thought I saw a naked girl only to find out she was weaing a a very skimpy bikini.

 

[DawnCt1]

Wow. Accuse the cop of being the criminal.

No, suggesting that he could be "looking the other way". We have had a few recent cases in Ct. lately. It happens.

again, would the cop really tell his watch commander that he witnessed illegal activity and ignored it..???


partygoers sometimes flashed breasts and bare buttocks in front of the children as they sashayed through the hotel atrium.


The kids could see through the glass atrium into the ballroom where naked people were dancing. There were exposed breasts, thongs and see-through dresses on women who were not wearing any underwear.”

I'm fairly sure that this qualifies as indecent exposure, in all 50 states....and also qualifies as corrupting the morals of minors if done in view of children..

and for the record I'm no prude I wish I had been there I'd have gotten pictures to share with my fellow disers...

I think that if they had the "swinger group" booked already and when the soccer group called to book, it would have been more than prudent to say, "We would love to accommodate you, but we do want you to know that we are also hosting the "Hootchie Mama and Papa Swingers Club". When the hotel takes that much money from a group, guaranteed income, they have a responsibility to inform potential guests of any possible conflicts.

there is the possibility that the hotel had no clue it was a swingers club..
someone may have booked a block of rooms and the pool area for a party..I don't think hotels ask what type of party...
