Again,

I would ask the GM to handle all of the details and move to the RC property in the desert and have all meals and activities covered.
If there is a serious overbooking situation with NYE the GM should be able to and want to accomplish this.

Marriott knows there is an issue with a few of these legacy SPG properties and will address it at some point.

But again if it's me I'm taking a proactive approach and working my best deal ASAP so I'm not home watching the ball drop on TV
