Extend Reservation After Checkin?

I'm booked for 4 days at HGVC LV Strip in July. My wife is indulging me in a longtime dream of mine -- I'm going to enter one of the WSOP (World Series of Poker) events. The 4 days should be enough for this particular event. However, in the unlikely event that I make it to the final table, I may need to extend my stay by an extra day.

It looks like the Strip location isn't heavily booked during this time; and if I need to extend it, it would be for a Tuesday night, which should be uncrowded. So there should be room.

I booked this online via a changeable reservation. The question is, does 'changeable' mean that I can extend it by an extra day after I've already checked in? Can I do it just before I'm scheduled to check out?

Thanks.

According to the HGVC rep I spoke with you can only change prior to check-in to extend the reservation. This was confirmed by a supervisor at the call center.

The supervisor said they may be able to add additional days through the resort directly if there is inventory and the resort cooperates, but they may also charge a $49 fee as an additional reservation.

I also had an interest in this answer as I'm planning on extending one of my stays in August and this may be the only way to do it.

I extended my stay after I checked in at the HGVC at Seaworld during the middle of June. They charged me Open Season rate for the extra nite. The front desk staff is usually pretty friendly about helping out an HGVC owner.

Good luck at poker! Keep us updated on your success in the tournament.

If you make it to the final table, affording the extra night shouldn't be a problem. .. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Bummer that I can't just extend the reservation. Hopefully, HGVC will let me stay. If not, there should be lots of open hotel space on a Tuesday night. And Vegas is cheap mid-week.

I made it through Day 1A so far. This event is so large, they split Day 1 into two days, with half playing on Saturday, half on Sunday. They winnow it down to 15% of the entrants each day. Day 2 starts on Monday, with 15% left. So I get tomorrow off, to hang by the pool. The tournament should finish on Tuesday, Day3, though it could go into Day 4 on Wednesday.

At any rate, I'm in the final 15% right now. They pay 10% of the places, so I'm getting close. What a blast! Wish me luck!

That's the great part. My wife doesn't just "let" me, she's the one who suggested it as an advance birthday present. She's the one encouraging my bucket list. Indeed, she suggested I enter into the $10K main event, but I vetoed that. I don't want to invest that much until I get a little more practice at these major events.

I've got a real keeper there!

Good luck Bob.
Did you go to the HGVC front desk asking possibility for extend the stay? They usually are very nice in helping the owner.

Let us know how you are doing in the next step.

Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone. I ended up in 312th place, out of 4680 entries (or thereabouts). They paid 468 places, so I made the money! Got paid $2347 for a $1000 entry. WooHoo!

But I won't need the extended stay after all. We'll go home in the AM.

They were willing to give me a 1BR for $129/nt. I guess that's a discount from the rental (to the public) rate, but it's certainly more than the Open Season rate of $80 for a weeknight. That didn't sound too generous to me. I had decided that if I made Day 3 in the tournament, I'd move to the Rio, where the WSOP is held. I could have gotten a suite at the WSOP player rate of $89. And I'd be right at the tournament location.

Congrats on the winnings! It's always nice when they pay you to have fun

Congrats on your success! Thanks for keeping us updated. No place like Vegas!
