This comes up every year so I thought I'd give my opinion on this topic. I looked at linking old threads, but there's currently a problem with the archived forums (I reported the issue, the admins are looking into it)
There are two major opinions from what I've seen:
1. Be inconspicuous about it, don't have gun stickers, tell anyone who asks it is music/band/dj equipment and you don't have the key since you're just moving it for them. Lock them in your room and don't tell anyone.
2. Check it in with security.
I think most people prefer #1, but I lean toward #2. I've checked mine in at the rio in previous years, and I called Paris's security and they said I could check them in there. I asked about Ballys, he said they also probably accept them or you could go to Paris's security desk.
The main reason I suggest #2 is the inkeeper laws in vegas:
Since they almost certainly provide an in-room safe, and my guns won't fit in the safe, I would be liable if someone steals or damages them if they are kept in my room. However reading further it looks like I should demand that the value of the items be written on the ticket. Regardless I will have more of a case if they lose them after being checked in, than if they are stolen from my room.
