The Dead Body in the Hotel Room

A newlywed couple went to Las Vegas for their honeymoon and checked into a suite at a hotel. When they got to their room they both detected a bad odor. The husband called down to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. He explained that the room smelled very bad and that they would like another suite. The manager apologized and told the man that they were all booked because of a convention. He offered to send them to a restaurant of their choice for lunch and said he was sending a maid up to their room to clean and get rid of the odor.

After a nice lunch, the couple went back to their room. When they walked in they could both still smell the same odor. Again the husband called the front desk and told the manager that the room still smelled. The manager told the man that he would try and find a suite at another hotel. He called every hotel on the strip, but every hotel was sold out because of the convention. The manager told the couple that he couldn't find them a room anywhere, but that he would send another maid to clean the room again. The couple wanted to see the sights and do a little gambling anyway, so they said they would give the maid two hours to clean and then they would be back.

After the couple left, the manager and all of housekeeping went to the room to find what was making it smell so bad. They searched the entire room and found nothing, so the maids changed the sheets, changed the towels, took down the curtains and put new ones up, cleaned the carpet, and cleaned the suite again using the strongest cleaning products they had. The couple came back two hours later to find the room still had a bad odor. The husband was so angry at this point, he decided he would have to find whatever was making the smell himself. He started tearing the entire suite apart.

As he pulled the top mattress off the box spring, he found the dead body of a woman.
