Missed part of my hotel stay

I booked a vacation to Las Vegas from June 16th until the 19th. Because my flight to Vegas was cancelled and I was placed on a later flight that was also delayed I was not able to check into my hotel until June 17th. So I missed a day of my hotel stay but still payed for it. I would like a refund for my June 16th hotel stay, I am hoping not to have to wait 30 days for this refund, what is the best way to get in contact with someone for this issue?
