Since you didn't commit the error, MR will not be mad at you
As for your reservation in Loisville - you'll check in just as you always do, pay whatever is owed and will receive elite benefits (if applicable), points and a night credit.
I interpreted his post as the friend's bachelor party is still going to happen, just that he won't be able to attend as he'll be in Louisville for work. He needs to add his friend's name to the Milwaukee reservation & say the friend will be checking in early/different time from him; this is best done at the property level. No need for lengthy explanations to the property; just add the name/dif check-in time. Given it's a bachelor party, he needs to tell his friends to not trash the room, make a lot of noise, etc, as that will blow back on him. Technically he shouldn't get night/points credit for both Milwaukee & Louisville, but sometimes it happens. If it does, great. If not, can't complain.

Should I expect to get 4 elite nights for this? (5 - 1 for the overlapping night)
You may get the full elite nights credit, but you may not. If you do, great. If not, can't complain.
Cheers.
