Bally's Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! mhernandez2654 Got A Bally's Room Upgrade

Folded $20 bill under credit card... i begin to ask if an upgrade was avail..but even before i could finish my sentence he said "i would be happy to work something out for you" and slipped the $20 on to his keyboard. he started typing away,he asked what my preferences were- 2 queens non smoking. he said if i wanted a view of the Bellagio i would have to sacrifice for a smaller room, but since i was sharing the room with 3 other girls he knew i would prefer something bigger. so he found me what he called a "Jr. Suite" in the north tower (newly remodeled) with a view of the Wynn. well when i got into the room, it was actually the same type of room i booked online, The Deluxe. however, we were on the 24th floor (there are 26 floors total) our view was of the mountains and Bally's pool. did not see the Wynn anywhere from my room. but when i went out to the elevator lobby on my floor and looked out the window the Wynn was in sight. so pretty much i think the $20 bux paid for a higher floor and away from the elevator, which was nice because it was quiet...but not a bigger room.
also, hotel policy states that if more than two people stay in room there is a $30 charge per extra person, he didnt charge me and gave me 3 extra keys without me asking. not sure if this was because of the tip i gave him or if they dont enforce that rule.
i was nervous and was almost going to chicken out, but then i thought to myself "what do you have to lose" and it worked out just fine.

Just got back from 2 nights at Bally's May 19-21. Booked through price match on worldres ($240 for 2 nights split between 2 coupes) Checked in Friday at 11:30am at the airport. Wife and I chatted up the lady at the desk and my wife actually slipped her the 20 under the card asking for any kind of upgrades. Long story short, she moved us to the North tower 12th floor (wife said it was a no-brainer, absolutely worth the money just for that alone) Wife got keys to Paris, Rio, Flamingo so she could get in their pools. She gave us a $10 gift cert to le provencal in Paris. And 2 11% Macy's coupons. All in all, I'd say pretty successful. No luck on Jubilee tickets, though.

Well I had gotten a package deal from Costco for 3 nights and roundtrip airfare and we stayed at Bally's on the strip i arrived at the front desk and the guy gave me a deluxe room and i handed over my credit card and he saw my $20 and i asked if i can get upgrade or somewhere nicer he said of course let me see and discretely pocketed the $20 dollars and gave me a non-smoking room on the North Tower on the 18th Floor...so needless to say it worked for me....

No Dice For ucbedge at Bally's...

I tried about a year ago at Ballys. No luck...said they were (basically) sold out.

With occupancy rates on the strip running so high, this is very YMMV. Cool to those who get it, but dont sweat it if you dont...the CSR probably tried their best (within their power) since theyre trying to make the best living they can for themselves. Good luck!
