"Walk" is when the hotel overbooks and even though you have a reservation they don't have a room, so they make accommodations for you at another hotel.

Walking 500 guests sounds miserable.

I literally can't imagine what a pain in the ass that must have been. The most guests my hotel has ever had to walk in one day was like. 3. But we're only 235 rooms and were not in Vegas so it makes sense.
