Save the host's password-protected welcome page (door code, wifi,
local staff numbers, directions, house rules) and the Booking.com
message thread. Put the door code and wifi in the Sep 22-23 address
tables so they are on hand without signal.
Host approved the date-change request the same morning with no
cancellation fee. Total drops from US$771.16 to US$542.73; a US$228.43
refund is pending on the card. Update the itinerary, expense ledger and
settlement, mark Sep 26 as checkout day, and save the Booking.com chat
and modification confirmation as sources.
Host accepted the alteration on Sep 15 (reservation HMNBY9NYRN): 4 nights
Sep 26-30 instead of 3 nights Sep 27-30, total EUR 1,077.00 (+EUR 311.31,
paid in full). This resolves the "additional night TBC" note on Sep 26.
Cancellation is now partial-refund until Sep 19 4:00 PM PDT.
Sep 27 no longer involves a check-in, so the luggage-storage caveat and
the 4:00 PM check-in constraint on the Pantages option are gone.
Ledger: LA row US$860.00 -> US$1,209.63 (same FX rate as the original
row); settlement recomputed.

Resolve against the bookings/{stays,transport} layout, couple payer
names, and the days/ timeline: move hotel-vegas-horseshoe.md into
bookings/stays/, swap the Wyndham ledger row for Horseshoe US$1,067.70
(KTVT, shared 50/50; settlement now US$715.37), and point Sep 30–Oct 3
day files at the Horseshoe.
