Anyone have an in at a Vegas hotel? I'm going to Vegas on Thursday and my buddy just bailed on me. Reservation was in his name and nontransferable. Rebooking at today's rates will be about 5x what it would've been. If avoidable I'd rather not start in the hole.

Does he look enough like you that you could use his ID/CC or could he just say that you're getting there before him and ask if you can check in?

I've gone to Harrah's in New Orleans with my buddy's ID (he's Mexican, I'm not) and they let me check in using his rewards card.

No, ID thing can't happen. And when we tried to add me to the rez they told me if he never checked in I'd end up being charged the current rate

While it is legal to hook up in Vegas please remember to always use protection.

Go to flyertalk.com & look at hotel forums. They have a ton of info on Vegas deals.

While this may be technically true, it is almost impossible to enforce. All you have to do is have him call and add your name as the second guest. When you check-in, just say that you got there before your friend. They will ask for a credit card to put down and then give you a key. Do express checkout when you leave and you won't even have to physically return the key.

Hotels churn through hundreds of guest each day and are busy as hell so they won't be keeping tabs on your specific case. I've done this at Vegas and numerous other hotels around the country countless times without issue. Just be nice, don't stand out, and it won't be an issue. Worst case, it's not something that an Andrew Jackson handshake can't solve.

Thanks. Too late though. The original reservation was cancelled. I'm totally screwed.

You could try Air BnB

If you play the slots a lot, you can sign up for a total rewards card online, book a room, and make sure to use your players card at every machine. Before you check out, call a casino host and see if they can give you some comps based on your play

I'm going this Thursday too and had to book an extra night (Saturday) this week at last minute. Got $183 at Linq for sat night through Frontier Airlines FWIW. Seems like circus circus, harrahs, and Linq are some of the cheaper last minute options that aren't a super 8.

Stupid I heart radio event is driving prices up like crazy. Good luck.

iHeart Radio festival is not this weekend. It is September 23 and 24.

Could've sworn it was this weekend originally but you're right. Regardless prices are high for some reason.
