The Brilliant Mananger

There is a hotel which has infinite rooms. One day, infinite guests arrive and fill those rooms (obviously some rooms would be empty!). Suddenly, at midnight, a VIP arrives and demands a room for himself immediately. The manager of the hotel is not at all worried and arranges for the room in one minute. How is it possible to find one empty room out of infinite rooms in just one minute!?
Level- Easy
P.S. - This puzzle was given to us by our maths teacher while doing the chapter relations and functions!

well,
i was recently told about this question by shikhar.
On the phone, he took this question as the answer was obvious but i rate this very high.
I dont know if i would have been able to crack it if i didn't know the answer

The manager shifts every guest to the next room. That is, the guest from Room 1 goes to Room 2 and so on. Then, he gives the vacant Room 1 to the VIP.
(Aw c'mon. Infinity + 1 = Infinity. At least, I think I am right.)
