Amazed at my own stupidity!!

I will be going for a family holiday with mom and dad to Macau in January. Lin Lin decides to join me in Macau to watch Wang Lee Hom "Music Man" World Tour at the Cotai Arena, Venetian. So we decided to stay another night at the Venetian Hotel after the concert.

Told her I'd settle the booking online last night.

Happily, I keyed in my personal information and Credit Card details. 5 minutes - I get my reservation number. That is when I realized I did not key in my date of arrival. F**K, immediately, I wrote an email to reservations@venetian.com to explain my mistake and change my booking date for my USD169 per night room.

So they replied me this morning and informed me that I would be receiving another email in 24 hours, detailing the necessary changes and would be providing me with a new booking number. New room rates would be USD239 excluding the 9% tax.

MSN-ed dad to let him know that I have made the necessary bookings and was a bit surprised at the difference in pricing for the different dates. This was his reply, 'How come they're charging you in USD and not HKD? Did you book Venetian Macau?'

Double...F**K......I had booked the Venentian Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urrggghh, now i have to write another email to them explaining my blunder AGAIN...I feel like a DORK.

yes, somehow I'd miss the drop down box and the logo at the top

Dear HEctor

My deepest apologies. I realized that I was meant to book the venetian Macau and somehow I did not realize that there is a Venetian Las Vegas. Could you please cancel the booking for me. Terribly sorry for making this blunder.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I just made an online booking for the Venetian Bella Suite amounting to USD169.00. The details of my booking are as follows:

Reservation No: K5J45
Name: Loong Siao Yue
Credit Card No: XXXXXXX
Check in date: 15 Dec 2008

However, I realized that I made a mistake with the booking date as I did not see the drop down box at the top. I meant to select 10 January 2008. Kindly let me know how I can fix this error. I do not mind if the rates are more on the particular day. I hope that you would be able to revert to me as soon as possible.

And the best part, I did not even notice the disclaimer and the address at the bottom of the email reply from reservations:

The Venetian Resort~Hotel~Casino3355 Las Vegas Boulevard SouthLas Vegas , Nevada 89109
The Venetian is the world's largest five-diamond resort.
