Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Reno, United States, one to one, remotely and in Pacific Time (UTC-8). In Reno, I price July to early September as the peak and November to December as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Reno: Hot August Nights and Rib Cook-Off; Burning Man staging; Lake Tahoe ski and lake access; Tech relocation and business travel. Guests I price for: Event travellers and Tahoe-bound groups on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Event-week premiums set a year ahead, ski-weekend rates, and corporate midweek floors.
Reno hotels juggle casino-driven packages, convention groups and event surges, and my hotel years were spent balancing exactly that kind of mix. I help with event-week displacement analysis, group versus transient decisions and a comp set that separates downtown casino properties from non-gaming hotels near the airport.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Reno.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Reno is an event city with Tahoe on its doorstep. Hot August Nights, the Rib Cook-Off and Burning Man staging create sharp summer peaks, while ski weekends and business travel fill other periods. Many guests use Reno as a base for Tahoe, which matters for how homes are described and priced.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Weekdays are slow, so I price for storm-driven Tahoe weekends and Presidents' week, opening snow-day premiums only for homes on the Mount Rose Highway side of town.
Spring sees graduations at the University of Nevada and early lake trips; I keep two-night weekends and use weekday rates to catch business travel to the industrial parks east of Sparks.
Artown, Hot August Nights, Burning Man and the Rib Cook-Off in Sparks run back to back, so I map each event's arrival and departure days instead of raising the whole summer evenly.
The Great Reno Balloon Race and Street Vibrations keep weekends busy after Labor Day; I hold weekend rates and give midweek a gentle discount for Tahoe leaf-peepers.
Before the ski season settles I accept shorter stays and lean on holiday visitors, keeping the floor steady so the calendar is not trained to expect cheap December nights.
Price Hot August Nights and Burning Man arrival and departure days as event premiums, set a year ahead.
Accept short stays around Burning Man logistics and set clear rules for gear and cleaning.
Price ski weekends for homes with easy Tahoe access.
Set midweek corporate rates for tech and business travellers.
Lower November and January to February floors outside ski weekends.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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!

Busiest in Reno: Summer events (Hot August Nights, Rib Cook-Off), Burning Man in late August, and Tahoe ski weekends. July to early September: Artown, Hot August Nights, Burning Man and the Rib Cook-Off in Sparks run back to back, so I map each event's arrival and departure days instead of raising the whole summer evenly. September to October: The Great Reno Balloon Race and Street Vibrations keep weekends busy after Labor Day; I hold weekend rates and give midweek a gentle discount for Tahoe leaf-peepers. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How the listing performs for Tahoe searches, since a guest who types Tahoe on Airbnb may never see a Reno home unless the description makes the drive time clear.
Price ski weekends for homes with easy Tahoe access. Next: lower November and January to February floors outside ski weekends. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Reno property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Reno: November and January to February outside ski weeks. January to March: Weekdays are slow, so I price for storm-driven Tahoe weekends and Presidents' week, opening snow-day premiums only for homes on the Mount Rose Highway side of town. April to June: Spring sees graduations at the University of Nevada and early lake trips; I keep two-night weekends and use weekday rates to catch business travel to the industrial parks east of Sparks.
Tahoe access not reflected in listing or price and no cleaning or damage terms for event guests. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Reno, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Reno, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Reno sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April to June: Spring sees graduations at the University of Nevada and early lake trips; I keep two-night weekends and use weekday rates to catch business travel to the industrial parks east of Sparks.
Midtown and the Riverwalk: Walkable to restaurants, Artown and the downtown casinos, these homes sell to couples and event guests; I price weekends firmly and allow shorter summer stays. Southwest Reno and Caughlin Ranch and Sparks get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Tech relocation and business travel, Hot August Nights and Rib Cook-Off and Burning Man staging are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Reno. November to December: Before the ski season settles I accept shorter stays and lean on holiday visitors, keeping the floor steady so the calendar is not trained to expect cheap December nights.
