Definitely try to check in when yu get there. More times than not I have just been checked right in as early as 10:00 am. If they do not have a room available they will let you know, it is really no big deal. Actually I have also had it work where they did not have a room ready yet but still checked me in and all I had to do at "check in time" was go to the VIP line and pick up the keys. Check the bags with the bell desk and it is simple as can be.
