Jackpot! Alex Got A Caesars Palace Room Upgrade

 
 

hotel was dead, no line-up at 2pm. Went up to the guy, told him it was a special ocassion for me, I heard that there were some very nice rooms in the Augustus Tower and would appreciate if he can help me out. I then gave him passport with the $20 in it. He opened it up, and said he would take care of me. He said the $20 was not necessary and that he would take care of me, as the hotel was not busy. I insisted he took the $20 anyway.

Upgraded room was beyond my expectations. 38th floor, view of the strip, and huge! Had an incredible time at Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's!!!

Clerk knew exactly what to do, upgraded me immediately along with food/beverage credit.

Room in Palace Towers was OK, called it a suite, but a standard room at Wynn was much nicer.

Trick worked but overall the stay Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's was only mediocre, place seems too big at times, takes 15 minutes just to get to your room, taxi lines are long, and decorations sometimes cheesy. Not terrible but probably would not stay at again. Would rather pay the extra $ for Wynn.

Booked classic room as a package from Thomas cook. At the hotel check in placed $50 (thought we would try more as we were staying a week)with passports on desk and asked if an upgrade was available as it was my boyfriends birthday while were there. He made a call and first offered us a non smoking room and we asked if we could have smoking, he said let me see made another call and success the room was great with a jacuzzi bath, view of the Bellagio, pool and strip.

There was a new clerk training to the immediate right of the clerk I was at. A manager was supervising her and obviously helping her through the process so I tried to be as discrete as possible to the clerk I had. Handed over the sandwich and he asked what this was for. I said I was just looking for a nice room. He said, 'no sir, that's not necessary. I'll get you a nice room' and he handed back the $20. At this point, I didn't know what to feel...was this good or was this bad. He typed away at his computer for what seemed like an eternity. Then the printer started and he got the room keys made. Still feeling nervous at this point. He hands the keys and papers over and says you're in room 2735 or something in the AUGUSTUS tower! As soon as I heard Augustus tower, I knew I scored. Thanked him and left before anyone could stop me! Wished I could have tipped him but I guess he was worried with the manager standing 3 feet away.

Not trying this at Caesars Palace would be a crime - this guy seemed more than happy to help after I slipped him the $20...he was on the phone almost 10 minutes to upgrade my reservation. I think it helps to arrive a little late, that way they know exactly what rooms are still available (we got there about 10pm).

No Dice For Dan at Caesars Palace...

 
 

Asked for upgrade, gave him a $20 bill. He said no, but we could upgrade for $80 per night. We said no thanks, asked for room by elevator. He gave us the worst room, low floor, view of roof farthest from the elevator, no door in the bathroom. He said he could not be bought because he was 'top notch'. After seeing room, went back to front desk and had another clerk change us. Same tower but top floor, large room, better but not the best by any means. THis guy was a real prick. Good luck.

We were moved from the regular line to the platinum check-in (it was a short line so I'm not entirely sure why that happened). As we were checking in we mentioned that we were there for our honeymoon (I also had a $20 visible on the counter). Our clerk told us the room we had reserved wasn't good enough and he would see what he could do...

We later found out that the room we were in would have cost us at least 3x the amount we paid for the diration of our stay.

I initially tried to check in at about 10:30 am but I was told that they would have to see if any rooms were available. So, instead I checked my luggage and came back at 4:00 pm. I presented the clerk with $20 between the credit card and DL and I asked if there might be any complimentary upgrades available for the Augustus Tower. (The "classic room" were had reserved was one of the older and smaller rooms at Caesers.) I explained that my wife and I were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. At first the clerk did not think she could do anythign but she kept banging away at the computer for a good five minutes. Eventually she gave me my choice of a smoking room with a king size bed or a non-smoking with two twins. I took the latter. Interestingly, she left the $20 on the top of the counter, as if she did not want to take it. I left it there for her. The room is great. To those who wrote in earlier, thanks for all the advice!

Handed over money with passports, didn't ask for upgrade, just a room near family who were checking in later. Received upgrade for both rooms, to much larger room with spa bath etc. Well worth it!

It was very easy. We gave the 20$ under the credit card to the clerk and she only wanted to know if we wanna change. We said no and become the best hotel room we ever slept!! The room was in the 37th floor and was fantastic!

Viva Las Vegas!

No Dice For Rob at Caesars Palace...

 
 

Short line at 11 AM. Got a young woman and I tried the $20 in between the DL and CC and I am sure she saw it. She made a phone call and she came back with a slight upgrade for $80/night that she would let me have for $50/night extra. I didn't really want to do that as I could have done that price or better originally on line without the $20. When Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's says Classic, they mean classic! Tried to gp back down and speak to someone else and got no where.

We 1st found out about the $20 tip on here and have to say a big thank-you :-)

We used the $20 tucked inside our passports and it worked a treat. The young desk clerk seemed a bit embarrassed but gave us the upgrade without having to be asked anything. Superb! :-)

This worked at Caesers. Did the 20 dollar inbetween license and credit card trick. Asked if there were any complimentary upgrades and it worked out. Much bigger room in the new tower with huge bathroom. Totally worth it. This really worked! Thanks frontdesktip!

Actually, if you want to stay at Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's, book through fivestaralliance. I found these guys and they have automatic upgrades and food/beverage/spa credits included for the same rates you get on Caesars website. Tipping may still get an even better upgrade, though. I'm going in December and will let you all know how much I could get out of them.

Thank goodness I tried the $20 trick. I arrived at 1:00 a.m. for a conference the next morning, and I didn't know it at the time, but the hotel had overbooked and was telling other late-arriving conference attendees to check in at the Flamingo for the night. I didn't learn this until the next day, because the desk clerk said that there "certainly" was a complimentary upgrade available, made a phone call to someone, and put me in an astoundingly plush five room suite for the first night. I then got moved to a nice standard room in the Augustus tower for the next five nights, which was still very nice.

Technically the $20 trick worked. Checked in at the airport, which I'm very sad to see they're getting rid of, as there was ZERO line.

Little did I know the weekend I was there was Mexican Independence Day, and therefore, the best she could do was a nicer classic room in the Forum Tower, which was "the nicest of the three". Was told it was a $50/night upgrade for nothing. So yes it worked.

Just a warning to those of you staying here, though. Our room in the Forum tower was a NIGHTMARE. The jacuzzi we ended up with, hair dryer, both did not work. The shower was dirty and grimy, and there was sounds of pipes or renovation of some sort that we heard at 12:30 am, 2 am, and also 6 am. Thankfully complaining to the front desk that morning got us a room in the Palace Tower after the person at the desk made a call to her manager.

Will definitely try again, as it did work and there was no confused looks like I was trying to do something foreign.

We had to change the days we were in Vegas for my wife's work. Originally we had a Deluxe Tower room reserved for 2 regular nights. My wife’s work schedule changed last minute and we had to be in Vegas a day earlier. It turned out, the 1st night was the same night of the MTV Video Awards. The town was BOOKED and we had to pay 400.00 for a standard room that night. Well, we decided to do the trick and it worked! We got the Deluxe Tower for both nights! That room was quoted at $600 for the first night. To top it off, we had the greatest view of the strip EVER! I mean postcard view! I suspected this site was created by some smart front desk people but IT WORKS!
