MORE and more hotels are catching on to the growing popularity of 24-hour check-in and check-out practices that allow guests to extend their stay.

Following the lead of the Starwood Hotels group, the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, the United States, has introduced a 24-hour checkout service that will allow guests to spend a full 24 hours in their room instead of respecting fixed check-in and check-out times, traditionally around 3pm and 11am respectively.
