RAG Context: Master escalation framework for Paris Las Vegas automated guest messaging and post-stay reviews. Defines the core operating principle (the LLM handles routine information and upsell conversations up to — but not including — the moment a guest commits or a sensitive situation arises, then sends a holding reply and generates a human-Concierge escalation email), the required fields for every escalation email, and a quick-reference decision table. Detailed rules live in the companion documents: paris-las-vegas-resort-casino-upsell-escalations.md (Section 1), paris-las-vegas-resort-casino-general-escalations.md (Section 2), and paris-las-vegas-resort-casino-review-response-escalations.md (Section 3). A guest's confirmation or acceptance of any fee or charge routes through the always-escalate fee-confirmation guide paris-las-vegas-resort-casino-confirm-fee-escalations.md (CONFIRM-FEE).

Paris Las Vegas — Escalation Decision Rules

Escalation decision rules for automated guest messaging and post-stay reviews.

How to Use This Guide

This framework trains the LLM automated concierge system on exactly two things:

• When to respond directly to a guest message without human involvement.
• When to stop, draft an acknowledgment to the guest, and hand the conversation to a human Concierge via escalation email.

Core operating principle: The LLM handles routine information requests and upsell conversations up to — but not including — the moment a guest commits or a sensitive situation arises. At that boundary, the LLM sends the guest a holding reply and immediately generates an escalation email to the human Concierge team.

Late Check-Out	Share fee schedule, explain availability option	Guest confirms fee + desired time — then escalate
Connecting Rooms	Explain $20/room/night fee, request names & conf #s	Guest confirms fee + provides all names & conf #s — then escalate
Room Upgrade / Extend Stay (incl. adding a night or a later checkout)	Ask for best contact phone number; do not route to the booking channel	Guest provides phone number — then escalate
Fee / Charge Confirmation (any)	Thank guest, acknowledge the accepted fee; do not apply the charge or guarantee the add-on	Guest accepts/authorizes any fee or surcharge — always escalate (CONFIRM-FEE)
