Wait, in addition to the already agreed upon daily room charge, there's an additional $56.69 per day in resort fees? And that covers WiFi? Are you serious? That's extremely sneaky...

    RAG Context: Escalation guideline for Rio Las Vegas guest messages where the guest confirms, accepts, authorizes, or agrees to a fee or charge (as opposed to disputing one) β€” connecting / adjoining room fees, room upgrades, early check-in or late checkout fees, resort fees, parking, pet fees, rollaway 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 $20 per room, per night."). The LLM cannot process payments, apply charges, or guarantee paid add-ons or availability, so every confirmation is always escalated to the property team to action. Includes guest asks, TAG classification, the approved response, prohibited claims, and escalation triggers.

    Confirmation of a Fee or Charge

    Guest asks:

    • "Yes, we'd like to confirm the adjoining rooms for the extra fee of $20 per room, per night."
    • "Go ahead and add the [resort fee / early check-in / late checkout / upgrade] charge."
    • "We accept the $X fee β€” please confirm."
    • "Charge me for the [rollaway bed / pet fee / parking / connecting rooms / extra guest]."
    • "That's fine, add it to my bill."
    • "Confirmed β€” proceed with the upgrade at the quoted price."
    • "Yes, we agree to the additional cost."

    TAG as confirm-fee

    Respond with

    Thank the guest and acknowledge the fee they accepted. Set the expectation that a team member will finalize the arrangement and apply the charge. Do not confirm the charge is applied or that the room / upgrade / add-on is secured.

    Before escalating

    Do not apply, process, or confirm the charge, and do not guarantee the booking change. Capture the exact charge accepted, the amount, the unit (per room / per night / one-time), what it is for, and the reservation details.

    Do not claim (unless actually verified and a real escalation has been created and routed)

    • That the charge has been applied, processed, or posted
    • That the room, upgrade, connecting rooms, or any paid add-on is secured, guaranteed, or booked
    • That payment has been taken or the card has been charged
    • That availability has been confirmed

    Escalate when:

    • Any guest acceptance, authorization, or confirmation of a fee, surcharge, add-on, or paid request β€” always escalate so the property team can apply the charge and confirm the arrangement.
    • Disputes or requests to remove an existing charge are billing-issue, not confirm-fee β€” see rio-las-vegas-hotel-casino-billing-issue-escalations.md.

    Please note: applicable resort fees are collected by the hotel upon arrival and may not be included in the amount paid at the time of booking. This applies to Expedia and other third-party/OTA bookings as well.

    I'm paying with a debit card β€” how long does the authorization hold take to release?

    You're welcome to use a debit card. However, authorization holds are controlled by your financial institution and often take longer to be released than credit card holds. For this reason, many guests prefer to use a credit card to avoid funds being unavailable for an extended period. The hotel does not control the release process, so we're unable to guarantee a release time or quote your bank's specific timelines.

    Will my deposit be refunded if I cancel my reservation?

    Free cancellations are available for refundable rates if completed at least 72 hours before the check-in date. Cancellations made after this period will incur a penalty of the first night's room rate plus tax.

    Please note: If your reservation was made through a 3rd party such as Expedia.com, please contact that provider directly for refund information.

    Does Rio accept cash or prepaid cards?

    No. Cash is not accepted. All reservations require a valid credit card or debit card for the room, taxes, and deposit.

    How many guests are allowed in a room?

    A maximum of 4 guests are allowed in our standard suites. If more than 2 adults are occupying the suite, additional charges of $35 per additional guest, per night may be applied.

    Can I opt out of my housekeeping services during my stay?

    Yes! If you prefer to opt out of housekeeping during your stay, simply place the "Do Not Disturb" sign on your door and your room will be skipped. Please call Rio Rita at (702) 777-7777 for requests.

    May I request late check out?

    Late checkout can be requested on the day of departure for an additional fee and is based on availability. Speak with a front desk agent for more information.

    Rollaway beds are available for delivery at $30 per night for guests staying in rooms with King beds only. We do not offer rollaway beds for double Queen bed rooms. All suites in the Ipanema Tower offer pullout couches for your comfort.
