Bellagio Hotel Room Upgrades

No Dice For TB at Bellagio...

Reserved and needed a room with 2 beds. Clerk attempted to find an upgraded room with 2 beds but could only offer a king. Declined the king and stuck with the original room. At least she returned the tip.

This sight is awesome! Tried slipping the tip in between the cards...at first no rooms were available (still being cleaned). The desk clerk called a manager and upgraded us to a Spa Tower Suite-with a caveat-due to construction next door, the power would not be on for another 45 minutes.NO PROBLEM!!! Due to special occasion, also received a coupon for fragrance. Men's fragrance being discontinued, so received a full bottle, instead of a sample,as well as samples of the woman's fragrance.They sure know how to treat their guests!!!(Desk clerk even asked if I wanted change!)

After reading about all this here, we decided to try it with the twenty between the DL and CC...We got to the hotel about 5:30 pm, and lines were light, we scoped out a younger female clerk, who looked friendly. I asked her if they had any complimentry upgrades available, she took my cards and the twenty, and set the money on the counter right by the computer. She asked me what I was looking for. I mentioned either a lakeview, or a Tower Deluxe (helps to research the room types beforehand, which I did). She said she could do a lakeview, or a Tower Deluxe, but the Tower Deluxe would be a pool view...which was fine, and worth it. We took that.. It's a corner room, quite bigger, with two windows (one on each side) and a separate whirlpool tub with a big window there too....and she gave us a "line pass" to use at the buffet during our stay...Glad I found this site!

I was a bit apprehensive about doing this, but then I figured they could only say no. It was 12:30 P.M. I put the $20 in between my credit card and license when I walked up to the counter... asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available....he noticed the money...had a hard time finding anything....asked me if the money was for him....I told him, "It sure is." He asked me to come back in two hours to give him time to find something... I returned at 2:30 and he told me he had a fabulous room for me (and my mom). He described the room and I gave him another $10 when I left the desk. It was the best room ever....beautiful view....gorgeous everything.....I'd do it again in a minute. It worked!

Offered tip and asked if there were any suites available. After much typing and conversing on the phone, she said no, but that a Tower Deluxe room was available. We took it, though we didn't know exactly what that meant. It means Room #28042: window facing east, window facing south, window in bathroom facing south, and more room. Definitely worth it!

First it did not work, then it worked the second time. Here's what happened. We checked in on Saturday around noon and it was super busy. We waited around scoping out who to approach and couldn't find any young males so we went for a young asian female who looked really friendly. We chose $100 for the tip - mainly because we had a free room anyway and thought $100 would up the stakes alot. Sandwiched the $100 between credit card and id and asked for a comp upgrade. She immediately pocketed the cash and then said there was nothing - that they were selling the upgrade for $50 a night. I said no thanks. She suggested we take our current room and then call to ask for an upgrade later. I said we were not in a rush to check in and would wait and see what happens. She clearly had no intention of returning the money, so I simply asked for it back.

THEN, we checked in later with a woman in her early 30's. She was SUPER cool and was obviously experienced in the tip practice. This time I opted to put the $100 under my hand (showing it while talking) and asked for an upgrade. She thought it would not be a problem. She offered us a deluxe suite but no fountain view or a regular room with fountain view. We chose the regular room with a view. She also gave us line passes for the buffet. Worked well in the end - didn't feel strange at all. I wouldn't do more than a $20 next time. If they can do it, I'm sure they would do it for that. In the end, I guess it just really all depends on who you get!

Made the credit card, id, $20 sandwich and asked if there were any fountain view rooms available. She typed on her keyboard and made a call, took about 3 minutes. Then she never told me it was available. She promptly slipped the $20 into her pocket. They put us on the 15th floor with an OUTSTANDING fountain view. Well worth it, I think we would have been sol had I not given the $20. Go for it, it works. I have a pic of the room view if you want to email me. Find me on slickdeals, bigbearballs.

License, $20 (Sticking out), Credit Card sandwich. Checked in with another couple and we both got the same room bump , just one floor apart. Told clerk it was first trip to Vegas and asked if there was anything he could do to make the trip memorable. VERY HAPPY with the room bump!
