Bellagio question :
FHR for Bellagio suite and above offer round trip airport transfer with their in house limo (used it couple of times)
Booked 3 nights at the Bellagio for a "Bellagio suite" under the black Friday sales
I'd like to cancel the last night of the black friday sales and book this last night with FHR to take advantage of the round's trip limo transfer (and probably the lounge check in and maybe access for the entire stay). Won't use the late check out and probably not the SPA credit
Do you believe that it'll work ? (means no change of room, round's trip airport transfer granted with an airport pick up 3 days prior FHR stay, lounge check in, lounge access)
Can we have FHR breakfast on arrival day ? (very early departure so no breakfast )
FYI :
- I'll book the exact same room for both reservations. (not expecting an FHR upgrade)
- I prefer to book the last night with FHR as the first night is extremelty expensive so I save a lot with Black Friday
- The lounge check is proably what I value more (the lounge access during stay is nice but not that important)
Thank you very much all for your help

- Yes to all questions.
- One FHR Breakfast could be used at anytime during the entire stay. (Including the non FHR night)
- round’trip limo transfer granted (driver was late and pretend he was at the baggage claim... stupid liar)
- the limo driver nor the bellman told me where to check in so I want to the chairman lounge and it went well.
- strip view = spa tower.
- got upgraded to fountain view (=main tower) only because my spa tower room had an issue (took them 10 mns to find me a room on a Friday night)
- after my FHR booking, the rate went down, FHR was not able to adjust the rate so they had to cancel and rebook (with a refund and new deposit which lead to foreign transaction fees)
- FHR was not able to rebook a strip view room so booked a non view. Emailed the hotel to stay in the same room and they asked for an extra usd 75 to stay in the same strip view room and I agree.
- Vip and chairman lounge access granted. ( almost zero food, no alcohol (beside a bottle of wine) and sodas / water.
- used the spa credit for a manicure and the charge was removed.
- earyl check in / late check out not used.
- had to change my keys between the two bookings (they tried but were not able to issue a key who will work the entire stay)
Service and rooms and facilities are much better at the Wynn but will probably come back to bellagio for the location
