Conflicting Situation
The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
The situation is that "Joe" emailed me and all the other people from high school we used to hang out with(8 total)that he was planning a trip. He said the trip would be from the 17th-20th of december. The email also said that he would be reserving 2 rooms, for the 8 of us at circus circus. I emailed him saying I didnt like that place and that I would get my own room at another place. Anyway I reserved my room last month and then suddenly "Bill" who chose to share in the expenses of my room said "dude he hasnt reserved his room." Anyway turns out he has not reserved his room and he is a super cheap ass. Out of the 8, theres "Joe" who has no room because he says he is broke and he planned the trip, 2 other friends who also have no room are cheap asses, 2 cancelled, and the other 4 reserved the room with me. Well those 3 friends are up in the air. So "Joe" told "Bill" "since you guys already have a room we can all stay there." That would be 7 in a room and I hate the idea and so does "Dude" who is also staying in the room, "Bill" doesnt care either way and I havent asked the 4th guy. So the problem is, I look like a Jerk if I dont let them stay in the room, but I hate the idea of having 7 people in a room. So what can I do?

[/ QUOTE ] I agree...everyone pays their share of a room in whatever fashion they can afford. If your friends are really broke, tell them to split a cheap motel room 6 ways while you stay wherever you can afford. It's not your fault that your friends don't have any money. You didn't even plan the trip. You're not part of a monastery or commune with these guys...they're guys you used to go to high school with. Everyone pays their own way or you're going to 1) be pissed off about it, 2) end up paying for EVERYTHING that all of you do in Vegas, and 3) end up with no place to take any chick(s) you manage to pull. Give 'em hell and tell 'em what the damned deal is. This is America, for God's sakes, not China -- to each what he can afford!

If they can't afford a damned hotel room, why are they going to Vegas? Are they going to gamble their pennies or something? Also, it's VEGAS. If you're gamblers of any note, I'm sure comps of some sort may be in order for your cheap douchebag friends.
