No Dice For MK at Bellagio...

 
 

Busy time at check-in. Checked-in with a nice female in her late 20's. Sandwiched the $50 and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She noticed the $50, smiled and said she'd check. She said unfortunately there were no upgrades available and she was very sorry. She was very polite and great to deal with. The fact we had a Bellagio Suite already may have limited the possible upgrades.

Jackpot! Eric M. Got A Bellagio Room Upgrade

 
 

Checked in around 3pm on a Monday and had a male clerk probably closer to 30yrs old.

Slipped him the $20 sandwich and mumbled "Do you have any complimentary upgrades? Something nice with a view?" He put the sandwich down and I was watching it to see if and when he would pocket it. I swear to god I glanced away for like 2 seconds and it was GONE (must have been a sandwich veteran).

No chit chat - just waited patiently to see what he had for me. He hooked it up w/ a view of the fountians/lake right in the center. I read the reviews of people getting upgraded to suites and hopefully I'll get one at whatever place I try it next! Will grease the front desk people from now on... definitely worth it.

No Dice For Jeff at Bellagio...

 
 

I did not receive an upgrade. I checked in with a male and while there was not a long line. I handed the clerk my id and cc with a $20 bill and inquired about any upgrades. He left the $20 on the counter and proceeded to show me a notebook with various room upgrades that I could have for an additional cost per night.

My two colleagues checked in next to me at the same time and were both upgraded to a corner room.

No Dice For A. S. Sandler at Bellagio...

 
 

I followed the tips and suggestions... The clerk did not seem to know anything about what I was doing. He actually handed me the folded 20 back with no clue. I was there for my Anniversary with my wife, mentioned that and that got me nowhere either. I was offered to call back a few hours later and pay for an upgrade to a suite or other room. No Front Desk Tip here!

No Dice For Ted at Bellagio...

 
 

I reserved 2 rooms, one for my daughter who was turning 21. I put $40 between my credit card and ID, she took the CC and the ID but left the money on the counter. Told me she had no upgrades. At least I got my money back!

I've done this twice in Vegas and once in Orlando, this was my first rejection.

Jackpot! wingkie Got A Bellagio Room Upgrade

 
 

Checked in at 3pm, slipped the $20 sandwich, the female clerk said the hotel was very busy for the weekend and cannot placed the two booked rooms on the same floor if we wanted an upgrade. We asked for linepass instead but she said the management don't give out linepass except for suite customer. Later, we gave up getting the same floor so she spend almost 5 mins to search for a better room, she finally offered one end of the hallway 23rd floor tower deluxe king room. We happlily accepted and also asked if the tower deluxe king qualify for the buffet linepass, she gave it to us this time.

Jackpot! Beanex Got A Bellagio Room Upgrade

 
 

Well, not much of an upgrade with $50, the clerk says penthouse suites are sold out, but website shows availability.

I only paid one of the cheapest rate to get the rooms, so maybe he couldn't do much. He did give me a buffet/cafe VIP line pass though.

I was told that they can't accept the sandwich cash, you must handed to them as tip after the process. Maybe it's something new set by management.

Jackpot! John Goldstein Got A Bellagio Room Upgrade

 
 

Ive never stayed at Bellagio before, but have stayed on the vegas strip before. I have used the $20 trick before, but I was a little nervous doing it at such a prestige property. I went to a latina lady, with over exaggerated make up at about 9pm. Gave her the credit card and ID with a $50 in between, she asked me what i was looking for and I told her a nice suite. She worked her magic and gave me a suite in no time. Gracias Alma!

Jackpot! Xavier Juan Carlos III Got A Bellagio Room Upgrade

 
 

Las Vegas is the perfect vacation for the gay male crowd, and Bellagio was a deligtful choice by my hot counterpart Sven. We went to the front desk and spotted a clerk who looked like he was a fellow card carrying member of "our crowd". I secretly slipped him a $50 bill into his soft hand and gave him a little wink. I think he knew to upgrade the room from the tip (I wished he came with the room too! Hee hee!). The room was totally fabulous, overlooking the fountains and all!! The toilet was also very clean!! :)

No Dice For Addy at Bellagio...

 
 

It didnt work for us but the clerk did try. She checked for quite a while and then called her manager and told them that we were celebrating a birthday but there was nothing the manager could do. We checked in around 2 on a saturday so they were pretty full i am sure. She gave me the 20 back but i asked her if she could give us front line passes, she said they are only supposed to give them to people with suites now but she snuck me one anyways and i gave her back the $20 for all her trouble. it sounds like management is cracking down on upgrading at the Bellagio.

No Dice For Richard at Bellagio...

 
 

I did a $100 sandwich to the check in clerk and asked for the Bellagio suite. The clerk stated that due to management restricting certain rooms she was unable to meet my request. I asked for the front desk manager and was greeted by a young lady with frizzy curly hair. She told me I had to pay for the upgrade. I asked for her boss, and an ashey african american women came out. She said, No! I asked for her boss, and an elderly lady came out. She never looked at me but mumbled something and then walked away. I never recieved the suite. It seemed like there were some big problems at the front desk. Will try this trick again at another hotel.

I came to Bellagio from the U.K. and heard about the $20 trick and decided to give it a wing. I asked the front desk clerk for the "Saturday Night Special" giving her a little wink wink. She said only Clare knew about that, so she went to get her. Clare mumbled something about lions, tigers and bears then gave me the upgrade to the Bellagio Suite!! Perfect!!

Jackpot! Steve S. Got A Bellagio Room Upgrade

 
 

What a great room! We had a basic room reserved at the Bellagio, gave the young man at the front desk the sandwich with the $50 clearly visible, and told him it was our 10th anniversary (which it was). He smiled and said, "I have something very nice for you." He was right! We got a Salone Suite on the 16th floor of the Spa Tower, fantastic view of the pool area out one window, good view of the Rio and mountains out the other.
Only one disappointment: when we asked for line passes he apologized and said that they can only give them out to customers who reserved suites ahead of time. Oh well. It was still $50 VERY well spent.
