Hotel FAQs
Next Steps: After Booking Your Hotel with PRB
Where’s My Email? Once you’ve booked your reservation, keep an eye out for your confirmation email. Check your spam folder first if you haven’t received a confirmation email within 30 minutes. If it’s still not there, email us at info@punkrockbowling.com.
Checking In: One of the two people whose names appear on the reservation must show a valid government-issued ID (driver’s license, passport, ID card) at the hotel’s front desk on the day of your arrival.
Payment: Your room has been prepaid in full (including all taxes and fees) through PRB. However, the hotel will require you to put a credit card on file for potential extras or damage when you check-in.
Room Changes: Do you want to change something about your booking? Email us at info@punkrockbowling.com.
Special Requests: If you need accessible rooms, adjoining rooms, or a change in smoking preference, please get in touch with the hotel directly one week before your arrival.
Important Notes
Age Policy: No one under 21 may book or stay in a room without an accompanying adult (aged 21 or older).
Occupancy: Rooms are based on double occupancy. Any additional guests (such as children or adults requesting extra bed or bedding) may be subject to additional fees charged directly on your credit card by the hotel.
Courtesy Counts! We want everyone to have a great time, and we also want the hotels to be happy and invite us back! Please be kind and respectful to hotel staff and other guests during your stay.
I Called the Hotel & They Don’t Have My Reservation. What Gives?
Call the hotel in mid-May to confirm your reservation. The hotels manually process the reservation list which we send to them in late April, so it takes a couple of weeks to show up in their system.
PRB Hotel Deals: What Are My Options?
When booking with PRB, you’ve got two awesome choices at the Golden Nugget and the Downtown Grand:
- 3-Night Stay: Check in on Friday, May 23rd, and check out on Monday, May 26th, 2025 (GN only; Carson, Gold, and Rush towers)
- 4-Night Stay: Stay for the entire festival holiday weekend and make your exit on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025 (GN or DTG)
*Price listed on our website includes ALL room, taxes & resort fees
Need More Nights? If you made a reservation through PRB but want an even longer stay, no worries! Book those extra nights directly with the hotel (sorry, we don’t offer discounted rates outside our room block nights). If you wish to stay in the same room throughout your entire stay, call the hotel one week before the fest kicks off to make your request, and they will do their best to accommodate you.
