IS ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS FOR 2025 STAFF(Bellhops, Cosmic Cocktails, Retro-Futurist Concierges)
Dearest citizens of Black Rock City—
Greetings from the top-rated lobby-only hotel in the 3rd-largest city in Nevada... for one week a year!
We’re basically new camp, figuring out what had worked before and what hasn’t. The Hotel Lobby is rolling into its 4th season, and this year we're checking you into the future. Wanna put your fingerprints on the future??
We’re a 75-person placed theme camp styled like a five-star hotel lobby—if that lobby got hurled through time, covered in chandeliers, drenched in Art Deco, and loaded with bespoke cocktails and delightfully off-key karaoke. Our vibe is radical hospitality meets illusion-over-reality, and we serve it all with flair.
Here’s what we do:
Bellhop Service (Burner Express stop): We help dusty travelers haul their emotional (and literal) baggage to their camps while giving them their first taste of the weirdness to come.
Concierge Desk: Equal parts charming and completely unhinged. Expect dramatic welcomes, wild stories, and immersive nonsense. (“Sir! Put that away! This is a 5-star hotel!”)
Karaoke Lounge: Eight nights a week. No talent required. Just vibes, backup dancers, and liquid courage.
Lobby Bar: Sometimes fancy, sometimes chaotic. Always open. Sometimes staffed by someone who has no idea what they’re doing. Magic either way.

NEW THIS YEAR: HOTEL LOBSTER TEAMSEver dreamed of an exciting career in the dusty hospitality arts? We’ve got openings. This year we’re organizing around dedicated teams—from decor to build to bartending, guest experience, camp ops, and sound engineering.
Want to run the bar? Design the guestbook? Build glowing signage? Indoctrinate new Lobsters into our glittering cult of hospitality? There’s a spot for you.
Check out the teams here.We run on do-ocracy. That means: no one’s going to assign you tasks from on high. If something needs doing, jump in. If you can’t tell who’s in charge—it might be you.
This whole thing is a collaborative art project, and there’s still plenty of room to leave your fingerprints on it.
