Caesars Palace Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! kenji4861 Got A Caesars Palace Room Upgrade

I was asked which hotel I'm staying at and was asked for the ID.

I threw a $20 under my ID and she knew what was up. As she typed away on the computer I was wondering if I should ask for an upgrade just to be clear so I did.. which came out awkward.

She asked if a room /w a view is okay and I said "I was really hoping for the Augustus Tower"

She really tried to get me into Augustus, typing away for a good 2 minutes but told me they were booked.

She showed me the towers available and let me choose. I chose Forum Tower, supposedly things are newer here. Got a room right next to the elevator. She told me Roman Tower, the tower I would've been in is old, etc.

It didn't work like I wanted to, but I can say it definitely works. I'm sure if I asked her to keep looking or even a Palace tower, she would've done it. Other employees were close by and also saw the $20 on her table, but didn't say a thing.

My suggestion is to know all the room types. They may just try to throw you in the same room.

My girlfriend and I approached the check in counter with a smile and said we'd like to check in. The woman asked for my last name, then looked up the reservation. She said, "So we have you for 2 nights in the Deluxe Palace Tower Room, can I see your ID?" I had the $20 slipped between my ID and credit card and brought them above the counter, then said, "Sure, but we were wondering if there were any complimentary upgrades available?" and smiled looking at the ID and CC and $20. She said, "Oh, you don't have to do that(referring the $20 tip). I'll take a look. Have you stayed here before because the room you reserved is very nice already?" We replied no, and she started typing into the computer. She said, "Yes, I can upgrade you to the Augustus Tower w/ a beautiful view of the strip and Bellagio water fountain." I offered her the $20 again, but she declined. She gave us our room keys, room charge card for use w/ complimentary $25 food credit and sent us on our way. The room was excellent, w/ a flat panel tv in living room and bathroom, king bed, large bathroom, and wonderful view. We used the $25 for room service and at the Augustus cafe. Food was great, highly recommend.

We also signed up for Total Rewards and were given some cheesy casino freebies like a Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's gold medallion necklace so we could look like Flava Flav. I asked the woman at the TR desk about PURE nightclub passes and she looked in her drawer and handed me a VIP pass for two for the night. We didn't end up using the VIP pass b/c as we were walking by PURE before it opened, one of the bouncers standing outside asked if we wanted on his guest list. Of course we said yes, so there was no waiting in line, we just came back around 11:00 pm walked to the front of the line and told them our names then went in. I don't know why he asked, but we were very happy to not have to wait in a 200+ person line. The Pussycat Dolls were entertaining and the club was packed. VERY expensive drinks...Rockstar and Vodka + Crown and Coke = $25 + tip = $28...Yikes.
(Note: VIP passes only get you free admission. You still have to wait in forever long line. Guest list gets you to front of line + free admission saving at least a few hours of waiting.) How lucky!

Overall an amazing experience. I think the key in Vegas is you have to ask and not be afraid to be rejected. I also think a friendly smile can go a long way, as so many people you see in Vegas are rude and expecting the royal treatment. Seemed like most of the things we asked for we were given. Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's treated us well and I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else.

Thanks to those who have shared in this forum. We wouldn't have even attempted $20 trick if we hadn't read all the experiences here and decided how worth it, it would be.

It was kind of awkward as the clerk was on the phone as I approached, but she set the phone down then slipped a 20 with my CC and asked for an upgrade in the Augustus tower. She said that it'd be 120 extra for that but she can give me what I believe she called a Parlor Suite in the forum tower. It was room 7710. I asked her to make sure it had 2 beds and she said it did, but when we got there it just had 1 pull down queen, but boy the room was awesome. Would've been great for a party, huge bathroom, sitting area, table, etc. Anyway, since there was 4 of us, we called the desk and then they put us in the Augustus tower with a view of the fountains, on level 43. My friends were very impressed with the upgrade!

Checked in at airport about 5.30pm.
Handed credit card with tip visible to clerk and asked if there were any free upgrades available.
She knew exactly what we meant and after a little time typing gave us a fantastic room over overlooking the Bellagio fountains.
We were travelling with our young kids (shock horror!) and would probably have scored a suite if we did not need the 2 queen beds.
Definitely $20 well spent!

Stayed at Caesars from 8/8-8/11, checked in at the hotel, told the young girl that it was my friend's birthday (it really was) and slipped her my CC and ID with $20 between and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She seemed like she knew exactly what I was getting at, so she goes, "I'll see what I can do." Types away at the computer and finds us a room in the Palace towers overlooking the pool and right next to the elevator. It was great, had our own jacuzzi, and the pool was right downstairs. Very well worth the $20! I was hoping to get the Augustus Tower, but I guess I'll just have to try again next time!

Came back from LV over the weekend. Checked in at the airport to Ceasars. The $20 trick worked...got upgraded to the suite with a huge his and her bathroom and a large LCD Sony TV. I would've gotten a better deal if not for the 2 queen beds. Anyway, when we got to the room, the bathroom door was broken and I complained at the check in counter. They told us that all of their rooms are full at 97.6% fill rate this past weekend and don't have one similar to ours. So they comped us $50 for buffets and upgraded us to the Asparatus tower (1 year old) the following day. Nicer suite with a LCD TV in the bathroom.

Not that it matters, but the checked in person was an African American and he seemed nervous when checking us in at the airport. He had to make a call to the hotel to make sure the suite we wanted was available.

Oh did I mention that the room was comped at Ceasars? -$20 (tips) + $50 (buffets) = $30 slot money.

Took a little more work but finally got an amazing upgrade. They upgraded me from a standard room to Augustus Tower guest room with a view of the strip and the Bellagio fountain, on a high floor. Had all kinds of things sent up to my room as well like gifts, drinks and chocolate. What an amazing upgrade.

I would say try this and if they give you a hard time really then push it to see what they can do.
Oh and to get VIP dress well (Suit) tip generous and people will hand you VIPs like candy. Got plenty to PURE when I was at Caesars.

Checked in with my $20 sandwich- the female clerk asked if i neede change. I said no that's for you girl, you deserve it. I mentioned that a room with a great view would really make us happy- hoping for The Augustus Tower. She said she only had rooms with King beds ready but if we were willing to wait an hour for a double bed room to be cleaned we could be in The Augustus Tower. We opted to wait and wait and wait. Four hours later we got our room with the best view of Vegas ever! Plus we were given a $50 food and bev credit for our wait.
