Bachelor party hotel etiquette
So eight of us are staying at Excalibur for two nights for a bachelor party. We’re booked two to a room (say $100/night). I know that some of us plan to play enough poker to score a poker room rate ($75/night). I don’t know for sure who will be playing poker and who won’t. In the case that no poker is played, we would split the $800 tab evenly between the 7 non-bachelors. How do I deal with the following potential problems:
1. Only one person in each room plays poker and all rooms are discounted. The tab is $600. Should the poker players pay a smaller share than non-players? How much? 2. Only two people play poker. Two rooms are discounted. The tab is $700. Now how much does everyone pay? |

Re: Bachelor party hotel etiquette
I'd just go ahead and split it all equally because it only ends up being a small difference per person, but I'm not a very nitty guy.
If only some rooms are discounted, then maybe the full price residents pay full price, iunno, but I wouldn't care at all if my friends benefitted off my discount |

However, as with many bachelor parties, I don't know all the attendees or how nitty they all are. I'd like to have a plan in place is case a nitty poker player speaks up. Let's pretend the rooms are $10,000/night suites and the discount is still 25%. Now what? |

Re: Bachelor party hotel etiquette
get the money from the seven non-bachelors before you go for the full price of the rooms ($800/7). If any room gets a discount b/c of a poker rate break, use the money leftover from the original $800 to buy the bachelor <insert alcohol/lap dances/etc...here> next time you guys go out, or use it for some him-specific gift for a wedding present from the group who went on the bachelor party, or use it for alcohol funds for the after-reception party of the wedding.
or not. what do I care? Definitely don't nit over the $20/head that the discount(s) may generate. |

Re: Bachelor party hotel etiquette
My personal belief is the words "etiquette" and "bachelor party" don't go together. Go crazy, and definitely don't worry about $20. For god's sake, just buy the guy an extra lap dance.
