I mean, it's going on the taxes as a business expense. And it's my fault for not paying attention. But it's short of bill shock and a bad way to start my CES trip.
Even though you initialed the bill, the original booking price is what you should be paying. ASAP, go to and/or call the front desk and ask for clarification.
[PS: When I stay at hotels in the MGM group, my rooms are always comped=$0, yet the bill at check in shows a rate of $120 per night, when questioned about this, the agent says this is for booking reasons.]

Going
 
Jan 5 to 9 - Venetian. Can't decide if I should do the $20 check-in/upgrade trick. I've never done it before, and in my experience, pretty much all rooms in the Venetian are the same, plus they'll be seriously booked this week.

I arrive tomorrow and return home sunday afternoon. I'm at TI this trip. I like the vibe now that MGM doesn't own it any longer.

When I booked my hotel in August, they said the total would be $645.

When I checked in 2 hours ago, I signed the receipt without looking at the rates the woman wrote down. I was tired from traveling.

Got up to the room and they charged some $900 to my CC. Did I get screwed or are they just overcharging in case I run up a room service bill?
chances are that is a hold on your card, like a gas station putting a $100 hold on your card when you fill up. It should be removed a few days after checkout.
