flamingo confirm-fee

RAG Context: Escalation guideline for Flamingo Las Vegas guest messages where the guest confirms, accepts, authorizes, agrees to, or approves a fee or charge — as opposed to disputing one. Covers acceptance of a quoted surcharge or add-on cost: adjoining / connecting room fees, room upgrades, early check-in or late checkout fees, resort fees, parking, pet fees, rollaway bed or extra-guest charges, extra-night charges, and any "per room / per night" or "extra fee" the guest agrees to pay (e.g. "Yes, we'd like to confirm the adjoining rooms for the extra fee of $25 per room, per night."). The LLM cannot process payments, apply charges, or guarantee paid add-ons or availability, so every confirmation must be handed to a human to action. Maps to risk category FEE & CHARGE CONFIRMATION (tag CONFIRM-FEE) in the master Flamingo Risk Management Framework (flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-escalations.md). All matches require immediate escalation. Do not confirm the charge is applied or the add-on secured — acknowledge and route to a human.

Confirmation of a Fee or Charge

Guest asks / says:

• "Yes, we'd like to confirm the adjoining rooms for the extra fee of $25 per room, per night."
• "Yes, please go ahead and add the [resort fee / early check-in / late checkout / upgrade] charge."
• "We accept the $X fee — please confirm."
• "Go ahead and charge me for the [rollaway bed / pet fee / parking / connecting rooms / extra guest]."
• "That's fine, please add it to my bill / room."
• "Confirmed — please proceed with the upgrade at the quoted price."
• "Yes, we agree to the additional cost / surcharge."
• "Please charge my card for the extra night."

Trigger keywords (non-exhaustive): yes please confirm, we'd like to confirm, go ahead and charge, charge me, charge my card, add it to my bill, add it to my room, accept the fee, agree to the charge, agree to the fee, approve the fee, okay to charge, that's fine charge, proceed with the upgrade, confirm the extra fee, extra fee, additional charge, additional cost, surcharge, add-on, per night, per room, willing to pay, sounds good charge me, confirm the [adjoining / connecting] rooms.

Disambiguation: This category is for a guest accepting / authorizing a new or quoted charge (a forward-looking action that must be executed by a human). If the guest is disputing, questioning, or asking to remove an existing charge, that is a billing dispute — see General Escalation Rules §K (Billing Issues & Charge Disputes). When a message both accepts a fee and disputes another, apply both tags.

TAG as confirm-fee

Respond with

Thank the guest for confirming and acknowledge the specific fee/charge they accepted. Never state that the charge has been applied, the payment processed, or the room / upgrade / add-on secured; do not quote, adjust, or negotiate the amount, or guarantee availability. Make clear that a team member will finalize the arrangement and apply the charge. The LLM is not authorized to process payments or confirm paid add-ons.

Before escalating

Do not apply, process, or confirm the charge, and do not guarantee the booking change. The LLM is authorized to acknowledge and thank only. Capture the guest's exact wording in the escalation record — the specific charge accepted, the amount, the unit (per room / per night / one-time), what it is for (adjoining / connecting rooms, upgrade, pet, parking, late checkout, extra guest, rollaway, extra night), and full reservation details — so the concierge can apply the charge and confirm the arrangement.

Escalate when:

• Always. Any guest message that accepts, authorizes, agrees to, or confirms a fee, surcharge, add-on, or paid request is an immediate escalation so a human can apply the charge and confirm the arrangement — regardless of amount, tone, or whether the guest asks for confirmation. The LLM has no authority to process payments, apply charges, or guarantee paid add-ons or availability.
• If the confirmed fee is tied to a booking change (room type, adjoining / connecting rooms, dates, occupancy) controlled by a 3rd-party channel (Expedia, Booking.com), still escalate and capture the booking channel so the team can route the change correctly.
• Tag the conversation: [CONFIRM-FEE] + [TIER LEVEL] + [CHANNEL: Expedia] and route to the Flamingo Concierge queue with priority flag.

• EARLY CHECK IN

  Dear [guest-name],

  Thank you for reaching out and for choosing Flamingo Las Vegas for your stay! We appreciate your request for early check-in.

  We're happy to offer an Early Check-In Guarantee so you can start enjoying your stay sooner. Early check-in is available starting at 11:00 AM on your arrival date for $60 + applicable taxes. This option is offered in limited quantities and is subject to availability, so we recommend confirming with us as soon as possible. Just let us know if you'd like us to reserve this for you and we'll confirm with our team that it is available for your date.

  If you'd prefer not to pre-pay the guarantee, early check-in is still based on availability on the day of arrival and additional fees may apply — our front desk or the lobby kiosk can assist you on arrival based on room availability.

  Thank you again for choosing Flamingo Las Vegas. We look forward to making your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Should you need anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out — it's our goal to provide you with 5-star service.

  Thank you,

• MODIFY STAY OR CANCEL STAY OR CHANGE DATES

  Dear [guest-name],

  Thank you for reaching out about modifying your reservation.

  If your booking was made directly through Caesars Entertainment or Flamingo Las Vegas, please contact us and we will be happy to assist with date changes, room-type changes, or cancellations. Cancellations made directly with the property require at least 48 hours' notice.

  If your booking was made through a third-party site (such as an online travel agency), changes and cancellations must be processed through the same booking channel. Their cancellation and modification policies may differ from ours. Changes are subject to availability and current rates.

  Please let us know how we can help, and we look forward to welcoming you to Flamingo Las Vegas.

• ADD NAME TO RESERVATION

  Hello [guest-name],

  Thank you for reaching out. The process for adding a guest's name to your reservation depends on how the reservation was booked:

  • Reservations booked directly with Flamingo Las Vegas can have additional names added in advance. • Caesars Rewards reservations must be checked in by the Caesars Rewards card holder, so additional names may not transfer the reservation ownership. • Reservations booked through a third-party site must be updated through the original booking channel; the third party may message us with the name addition.

  Please provide the full name of the guest being added, exactly as it appears on their photo ID, ideally at least 24 hours prior to check-in. All guests checking in must be 21+ and must present a valid government-issued photo ID and a major credit card that matches their photo ID for resort fees and incidentals.

• DEPOSIT

  Thank you for reaching out! I'm happy to clarify the $50 deposit for you.

  The $50 deposit is required per accommodation, per day, and is held as a security deposit for any incidental charges, such as damages or other services you may use during your stay. It is fully refundable upon check-out, provided there are no outstanding charges or damages to the room. Deposit holds are released immediately at the time of check-out; debit cards may take 7–10 business days to reflect the release. A credit card is required for the deposit; cash is not accepted.

  This deposit is not an additional charge but a temporary hold on your account, which will be released after your departure assuming no issues arise.

  If you have any further questions or need more information, please feel free to ask. We look forward to welcoming you to Flamingo Las Vegas!

• CAESARS REWARDS THIRD-PARTY BOOKING

  Hello [guest-name],

  Since you booked through [third-party-name], your confirmation number will not automatically connect in the Caesars Rewards app.

  No worries at all — our Front Desk team will be happy to help link your reservation to your Caesars Rewards account when you check in. Please note that stays booked through a third party do not accrue Caesars Rewards points or Caesars Rewards benefits.

• CONNECTING ROOMS REQUEST

  Hello [guest-name],

  Thank you for reaching out about connecting rooms. If you'd like to guarantee connecting accommodations in advance, we offer that option for an additional fee of $25 per room, per night.

  If you'd like to lock in connecting rooms, please confirm the name and confirmation numbers for all rooms you would like connected, and we'll be happy to assist. Otherwise, connecting or adjoining rooms can be requested at the front desk on arrival, but availability is not guaranteed without the prepaid guarantee.

  We look forward to welcoming you to Flamingo Las Vegas!

• PETSTAY REQUEST

  Hello [guest-name],

  Thank you for reaching out. Flamingo Las Vegas offers the PetStay Program for dogs only. PetStay allows a maximum of 2 dogs, up to 50 lbs each. The fee is $100 per night, plus a $100 refundable deposit.

  A PetStay room must be specifically booked for guests traveling with dogs. Please let us know if you would like us to help arrange a PetStay room for your reservation.

  Food/water dishes, mats, and treats are provided. Dogs must be crated if left alone in the room, and designated outdoor pet relief areas are available near PetStay rooms.
