chances of early check in at Flamingo


My wife and I will be visiting Las Vegas Monday August 27th for four nights. We are staying at the Flamingo in a comped room but are not anywhere near Diamond status. As a matter of fact we haven't been to Vegas for four years and haven't played at a Harrah's property for a while (0 tier) but they still comped us for four nights. My question is... What are the chances we can check in early? Our flight arrives from Nashville at 8:00 am and after picking up the rental car we should be at the hotel by 9:00 am. Do you think they will let us into our room early?

We also are booked at the Golden Nugget on Tuesday night. They have a slot tournament Wednesday that we are going to play in. This room wasn't comped and we are paying to buy in the tournament but I have the same question about an early check in. What are the chances we could check in by 11:00 am?
If nothing else you can go through the check in process, leave your luggage with the bell staff, and have them call you on your cell when your room is ready.
Vegas is used to around the clock arrivals & departures. A large hotel like the Flamingo will likely have a room available - it just might not be what you are looking for

We usually drive to LV early on Sunday mornings. We almost always are able to get checked in and into our room before 10. Of course if it has been a busy Sat. we check in and leave our bags with bell staff and pick up the key in a few hours. The earlier you check in, the better your chances of getting your choice of rooms.
Thanks for the comments. My wife has this weird anxiety about leaving the bags with the bell staff (don't ask). That's why I wanted to see how hard it would be to get an early check in. I'm glad to hear it probably won't be too hard otherwise I would have kept the bags in the car and hit a coulple of properties we haven't been to yet before trying to check in.
Thanks again! By the way I almost didn't get my subscription renewed again but I'm glad I did. I really had forgotten how much information LVA has.
The lines at Flamingo check-in are HORRIBLE, ubless you're a Diamond. I have never seen so many crowds to check in to a hotel. NO idea why, but I see it all the time.
We stayed at F a couple months ago and had 6 rooms...all of us were checked in at 10am. This was a weekday.
Good luck and have fun.

p.s. I loved your quotation remark...sounds like something my dad would say.
lol

Smile and ask. Heck, just check your luggage with the Bellman and go gamble
