    We couldn't use the block reservation rooms because they wouldn't take a reservation over the phone for more than 4 people in a single room - they said it wasn't allowed. Even though their website explicitly allows for 5 people in a room (but not 6) (5 is how many we need). Stupid Riviera.
    That is weird. In this case if I were you I'd just say you have 4 people. It's better than waiting and ending up not being able to get a room.

    You don't understand. I was able to register just fine online for 5 people in a room. It's just that it didn't count as one of the cubing block rooms. But the online registration worked, and I have a nice printout with a confirmation number saying we're registered for 2 adults and 3 children for a room there. We're all set. You guys can help me mob them if they try to deny me once I get there.

    What I don't understand is how it could be that the person I talked to on the phone would insist (and she did insist, strongly) that they absolutely can't have more than 4 people to a room at the Riviera. It's a blatant verifiable lie - the website proves otherwise. (Or else the website and my reservation is wrong.) Honestly, it seemed she was determined to make me book 2 rooms.

    Mike, I ran into the same exact situation when my dad and I booked rooms last year. Honestly, I think the real reason is so you book two rooms and they make more money. I don't see any other reasons, other than maybe a fire hazard, but it still isn't a a major problem at all.
    oh, and I hope to meet you there

    Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

    That's definitely how that adage goes.
