Bellagio Hotel Room Upgrades

No Dice For Jordan at Bellagio...

I proposed to my girlfriend this saturday and had the entire weekend in Vegas planned out. When I booked at the Bellagio they upgraded me over the phone from a standard room to the deluxe lakeview room for free. That was nice but when we got there I approached the front desk to check in with my new fiance :-) Gave her the sandwich told her why we were in town, explanined it was our first time here and asked for a complimentary upgrade. Sadly she said no suites were available. I was let down having heard some good stories on here. She could care less, she was just happy I took the big step.

Better luck next time!

This was supposed to be a quiet weekend but was worried after hearing there were bigger crowds than anticipated and that some people were relocated to Bellagio after the Monte Carlo fire.

Gave the clerk the $20 sandwich and mentioned it was our 5th anniversary and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. After checking he got us a high floor that was available immediately. We also asked for and received line passes for the buffett and cafe. He asked if we were AAA members and I am but didn't have my card with me. He said he'd pretend he saw it and gave us a discounted rate (from the standard we were paying for) that more than paid for the $20 tip. The kicker that REALLY impressed us were the chocolate covered strawberries that arrived to our room free of charge 20 minutes after we arrived. The $20 went much further than we'd even hoped. :-)

Went to the front desk and was directed to the next available agent. Mentioned anniversary and placed DL/CC sandwich with $100 bill sticking out on the counter, then asked for an upgrade to the Bellagio Suite by name, only hoping to get the standard Salone Suite. He didn't seem to notice so I pushed it toward him and said again how much I would love to stay there.

He smiled, typed for a minute and said he had to show something for the upgrade ($10 extra a night) and asked if that was OK. Naturally I said yes, considering it was 3 nights and normally $350 a night MORE than the room I booked. Then I had the audacity to ask for buffet line passes. He just smiled and said sure! The bill disappeared, he thanked me and shook our hands.

The room was amazing, twice the square footage on the top floor, we were floored! I think the fact that we stayed Tue-Fri on a slow week in Vegas helped.

Bellagio was a fantastic hotel, one of the best vacations of my life, I would recommend it to anyone.

Walked in to the lobby and looked for the right clerk, one who appeared friendly and talking to the customer. Found one and waited. When asked for my credit card and ID hand over the sandwich any she began typing away, she didn't even appear to see the twenty. After several minutes I asked if there were any complementary upgrades and she said she was checking. She left for a minute and when she returned she said that she was able to get me into a lake view room. She handed me back my information and the $20. I handed back the tip and thanked her. The view was amazing and the fountain/strip view at night never got old while I was in the room.

Checked in at the Bellagio around noon. As I applied the $20 trick the reservationist mention that a comp. should not be a problem and proceeded to give us a room with an outstanding view of the fountains. Had hoped for a suite of some kind, since I was celebrating my 50th. But we still loved the room that we received.

got there at 11am and after standing in line for a few minutes, a female in her early 30s opened a new line. We were just checking to see if we could check in early (confirmation said check-in was 3:30pm) she said that she had a nice room available with a pool view. I aksed her if they had any sort of possible upgrades and she replied that they were $50/night for a lakeview room. after typing for a while, she repeated that it would be $50/night. we both gave her a disappointed look and asked if there was anything else that she could do. she smiled and said, "you mean a complimentary upgrade?" and I nodded. after typing for a few minutes, she said that she would give us the lakeview room and that she would waive the fee. we thanked her and slipped her a $20 as she handed my ID/CC. the room was awesome. 24th floor, right in the middle of the fountains. I'm so glad I found this website!!

This was my first time using the trick and it worked like a charm. I asked the clerk if there were any upgrades and boy did I get one. Great room on the 10th floor with an awesome view!

I bet $20 would have worked, but I slapped $40 in the sandwich, since we were there on a 4 night vacation. I asked for a tub w/ jets, was offered a lake view room (no jets) or one w/ the bath as requested. Ended up being upgraded from a standard room to a corner "suite" (suite was printed on the door, although room looked pretty standard to me). front desk clerk acted like it was everyday business to get tipped for comped upgrades. Success!

Checked in early at around 12 noon on a Sunday. Handed over the sandwich (I normally hold onto the $20 and hand it over if successful, but took the tip from this board to do the sandwich) and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available.

The clerk said, "I'm sure there are!" Tapped away and said we had been allocated a lake view room on the 20th floor. I was just delighted as we were already on a promo rate of $179.

Thanks to all on this forum.
