I work for a large corporate chain of Las Vegas casinos and I mostly book free or discounted rooms for players card holders. But I can book "general" reservations for people without players club cards.
One of our properties happens to be a very popular and iconic resort that was recently featured in the highest grossing R rated comedy movie of all time.
I got a call the other night from a house full of 6 southern college kids. They asked me to quote the absolute cheapest rates possible for spring break. I was super nice to them even though they rubbed me the wrong way (they were dong that "I'm above you because I go to college thing and your just some loser in a plebeian job" thing (you know that attitude of someone who hasn't experienced the "real" world yet).
I feel bad because I sold them are lowest level room type (the ones that were built with the casino in the 70's and 80's and not remodeled). I hate booking the "classic" rooms, I don't think they fit at all with the image people think of in their heads when they demand this property and none other. I hope they are not disappointed because they spent $1,500 for 5 nights on two rooms with pea green carpet and 27 inch CRT TVs. I hope the don't think that that money will get them anything close to what they've seen in the movies (*mentally challenged guy with a gift for playing blackjack* or *bachelor party gone wrong but right*). I think in the future I will describe the room type I'm booking in more detail than "two queen beds non smoking". Do I worry too much? Am I too nice?
