Not that I'm sold on the theory that it was Fredo who tipped them off...but let's face it he had had PLENTY of time to warn his contact Johnny Ola even before the evening's festivities began.
Remember that drink with Michael took place in the afternoon. So Fredo knew of Mike's plans hours beforehand, if he was going to say anything about Roth not seeing the New Year...he'd probably do it long before he needed to get himself a 'real drink' at the Presidential Palace.
