Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides hotel revenue management consulting for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Lake Tahoe, United States, one to one, remotely and in Pacific Time (UTC-8). In Lake Tahoe, I price January to March and June to August as the peak and April to May as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Hotel revenue management consulting is a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement quoted after a free discovery call, based on room count, room types, channels and scope. An audit with a strategy roadmap is a single project fee, usually delivered in four to eight weeks.

Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe has two peaks, ski winter and lake summer, and two shoulders that need their own plan. It is also a patchwork of rules: South Lake Tahoe, Placer County and the Nevada side all regulate short stays differently. Before pricing, I confirm what the home is allowed to do, then build holiday weeks, summer weeks and shoulder floors.
For Tahoe owners I start with jurisdiction and permit limits, then compare how the home performs in ski season, summer and both shoulders. We agree a twelve-month plan with clear rules for storms, holiday weeks and quiet periods, so revenue does not depend on a few lucky weekends.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Tahoe.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

MLK and Presidents' Day weekends sit at the top, and every big Sierra storm moves the next two weekends. I keep Saturdays firm and let midweek sell three-night ski breaks at a lower rate.
Spring skiing lingers at Palisades and Heavenly while the lake is too cold for most families. I cut floors, allow two-night stays and price Memorial Day as the first summer weekend.
Lakefront and walk-to-beach homes go weekly, July 4th week is priced as its own band, and the celebrity golf week at Edgewood lifts the South Shore in July.
Calm water, quieter beaches and Labor Day make early autumn underrated. I hold weekend rates into October, then drop to the lowest floors of the year before snow arrives.
Thanksgiving opens the ski calendar and the Christmas to New Year stretch sells first. I protect those weeks with long minimums and watch early snowfall before pricing December weekends.
Price Christmas to New Year, MLK weekend and Presidents' Day as the top ski bands, with 4 to 7-night minimums.
Run July and August on weekly stays for lakefront and near-beach homes.
Use gap rules between winter bookings so short holes can still sell.
Set April to May and October to early November floors with shorter minimums and weekday discounts.
Confirm local permit and occupancy limits before setting guest counts.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Drive time to the nearest lift in a storm, not on a clear day, because Highway 50, Highway 89 and Interstate 80 chain controls decide where winter guests are willing to stay.
Busiest in Lake Tahoe: Mid-December to March ski season and July to August lake season. Late November to December: Thanksgiving opens the ski calendar and the Christmas to New Year stretch sells first. I protect those weeks with long minimums and watch early snowfall before pricing December weekends. January to March: MLK and Presidents' Day weekends sit at the top, and every big Sierra storm moves the next two weekends. I keep Saturdays firm and let midweek sell three-night ski breaks at a lower rate. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Dual-season pricing with shoulder floors, holiday-week premiums, and compliance with South Lake Tahoe and Placer County STR rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Lake Tahoe calendar before I make it. September to mid-November: Calm water, quieter beaches and Labor Day make early autumn underrated. I hold weekend rates into October, then drop to the lowest floors of the year before snow arrives.
It is also a patchwork of rules: South Lake Tahoe, Placer County and the Nevada side all regulate short stays differently. Before pricing, I confirm what the home is allowed to do, then build holiday weeks, summer weeks and shoulder floors. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Lake Tahoe.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Lake Tahoe the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: run July and August on weekly stays for lakefront and near-beach homes. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Lake Tahoe sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. June to August: Lakefront and walk-to-beach homes go weekly, July 4th week is priced as its own band, and the celebrity golf week at Edgewood lifts the South Shore in July. For hotel revenue management consulting in Lake Tahoe, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Lake Tahoe, not the city. Use gap rules between winter bookings so short holes can still sell. Next: confirm local permit and occupancy limits before setting guest counts.
Truckee and Northstar: Year-round mountain town with fast Interstate 80 access. I price ski weekends highest and use summer river, trail and lake-day demand to keep shoulders healthier than lakeside towns. South Lake Tahoe and Stateline and Tahoe City, Kings Beach and Incline Village get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Lake Tahoe, not the market average.
