According to a contract attached to the complaint, the reservation included an agreement by Tea Party Nation to pay the resort $579,148 in the event of a cancellation, of which the resort alleges the group still owes $554,148. An 18 percent interest charge added $87,996 to the amount the resort wants to collect.
So when someone alleges something you accept it as fact and start threads about it? Why are you trying to deceive people?
When the complainant has a contract, I'd presume they'd also have accounting records of what has been paid to date, if they're willing to sue.

I believe that a cancellation fee was paid, however.
But someone broke a contract. Over a thousand rooms that the resort couldn't reserve for people who aren't deadbeats. And apparently they have only paid a small fraction of the cancellation fee.
Aside: I heard today that one in five Arizonans is on Medicaid. The "cut everyone else's entitlements" state. And they're the ones who voted to expand coverage in 2000.
I've never worked in a hotel before, but I'm pretty sure that there are some fees for canceling over 1,000 rooms.
It all depends on the agreement you have when you book the rooms, why are you so certain that something took place when you admit to having no knowledge of the situation?
That may be common sense but it ain't contract law. When you contract with a service like the one's my company provides, by contract if you cancel within a certain period you are responsible for lost earnings for the period that you reserved for our services that we could have otherwise contracted with other clients. If we need to go to court to enforce those provisions in our contract, you are responsible for legal fees, lost earnings, and punitive damages if the law allows despite the fact that we didn't perform one second of the services that we were contracted to provide. Now I don't know or care about the particulars of this situation, other than to point out the difference between so-called common sense and common contract law.

So what are the details of the contract? Anyone have this info? It sure would make this an easy thread to figure out.
That may be common sense but it ain't contract law. When you contract with us we obviously have to take a pass on jobs scheduled for the same day, week, month or whatever, so our contract requires forfeiture of deposit and in some cases the full payment due to untimely cancelations. If we have to sue to recoup those costs, we naturally would demand the inclusion of any legal fees lost income, and damages that the law will allow. That can add up to a nice chunk of change.
So you know the details of the contract related to this article? What are they?
