RAG Context: Section 2 general escalation rules for Flamingo Las Vegas routine guest-service requests — Name Additions & Guest Authorization, Stay Modifications & Cancellations, Invoice/Folio/Receipt Requests, Room Issues & Housekeeping, Maintenance Requests, Noise/Neighbor/Safety Complaints, Billing Issues & Charge Disputes, and General Complaints & Compensation Requests. For each: trigger phrases and a clear split between what the LLM responds to directly versus what it escalates to a human Concierge. Safety, medical, injury, theft, and billing-dispute messages always escalate. The on-site Security Team is available 24/7 at 702-733-3523.

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.
