RAG Context: Master escalation framework for Flamingo 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 decision rules live in the companion documents: flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-upsell-escalations.md (Section 1), flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-general-escalations.md (Section 2), and flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-review-response-escalations.md (Section 3). Serious guest-reported incidents (injury, theft, health, security, harassment, hygiene, legal) route through the detailed risk-category guides listed below; any guest confirmation or acceptance of a fee or charge routes through the always-escalate fee-confirmation guide (CONFIRM-FEE).

Flamingo 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.

Companion Documents

• Section 1 — Upsell Escalation Rules: flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-upsell-escalations.md (Early Check-In, Late Check-Out, Connecting Rooms, Room Upgrade / Stay Extension). Escalate only after confirmed guest intent to purchase/proceed.
• Section 2 — General Escalation Rules: flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-general-escalations.md (Name Additions, Stay Modifications, Invoice/Folio, Room Issues, Maintenance, Noise/Safety, Billing, General Complaints).
• Section 3 — Post-Stay Review Response Rules: flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-review-response-escalations.md (positive and negative/mixed review handling and escalation triggers).

Detailed Incident-Category Guides

For serious guest-reported incidents, route using the risk-category guides (all are always-escalate):

• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-safety-injury-escalations.md — Safety & physical harm (SAFETY-INJURY)
• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-security-theft-escalations.md — Theft & property crime (SECURITY-THEFT)
• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-health-medical-escalations.md — Health & medical (HEALTH-MEDICAL)
• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-security-safety-escalations.md — Security & unsafe conditions (SECURITY-SAFETY)

• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-hygiene-hazard-escalations.md — Hygiene & environmental (HYGIENE-HAZARD)
• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-legal-threat-escalations.md — Legal threats (LEGAL-FLAG)

One additional always-escalate guide covers a guest commitment rather than a harm incident:

• flamingo-las-vegas-hotel-casino-confirm-fee-escalations.md — Fee & charge confirmation (CONFIRM-FEE) — guest accepts/authorizes any fee or surcharge; catch-all backing the Section 1 upsell rows below

Required Fields in Every Escalation Email

• Guest First & Last Name
• Reservation ID / Confirmation Number
• Booking Channel (Expedia / Booking.com / direct)
• Arrival Date & Departure Date
• Nature of Request / Issue (detailed)
• Guest Contact Phone or Email (where applicable)
