Encore Hotel Room Upgrades

No Dice For ken at Encore...

We got a comp room and it was memorial day weekend. we figured it was likely all the rooms were full but we wanted to take a chance anyhow so slipped the guy $40, and asked for upgrade for a suite. He took the money and then said he couldn't do anything about it. We thought that was rude. We found out later that when a room is comp that they won't upgrade you. We think this clerk knew that and took our money without blinking an eye.

Had a great deal for $99/night. Booked a Resort King, slipped the lady a $20 and asked for 2 beds with a view. (The double queen normally cost about $50 more per night) She offered me the Dbl Queen with pool view. She also offered me a higher floor with a better view if i wanted to wait a little bit for the room to get ready. I was happy with the pool view so i just took it.

I received an offer from The Wynn several weeks back offering me a king suite in their Encore hotel for $99.00 a night plus 75.00 slot credit. It sounded great plus we have onlyy been in the Wynn one time and the best part we were about to celeberate our 43rd anniversary . I booled it for five daya starting Sunday April 25th leaving Friday April 30. We were excited because of all the great things we have read about both hotels. Anyway upon checking in we were told we would be on the 24th floor with a partial strip view. Well I decided then was the time to try the twenty dollar upgrade idea. I smiled and gave her my i.d. and c.c. with a twenty in the middle and I asked if by chance there would be any free suite upgrades since it was our anniversary. Well she glance at the computer and hit a few keys and said by luck a tower suite was vacant on the 62nd floor with a unique view.. Well we took it and MAN WHAT A SIUTE. We were speechless when we opened the doors . The room was really large with flool to ceiling windows that had a view that was GREAT ! Example. If you are outside looking up at the name Wynn we were even with the letters and could see a loooog away. Now after our luggage arrived so did a very nice HAPPY ANNIVERSARY card with five chocolate covered strawberrys. Now in the Encore Tower suites you will receice a free dailey newspaper, free turndown of your made from heaven bed free bedroom slippers, and free bottles of water.Now in the morning after you go to breakfast housekeeping would clean your suite and fill your ice bucket. Everything in the suite could be controlled by a control by your bed. I know I am leaving out a few things but do I think the twenty dollar idea worked . We picked a young girl in her twentys because she was really cute. We checked in about two p.m. THE Encore ROCKS ! All of the employees were outstanding.

YES ! YES ! YES !

It was about 8PM when I arrived and the Front Desk was empty. A young lady in her early 20's helped me and mentioned you just started her work day. We exchanged some small talk and she asked me for my name and a credit card and license. I then asked if she wouldn't mind checking to see if she had any complimentary room upgrades and she said she would check. She said she could give me a Panoramic suite with a great view of the Strip and I said that sounds perfect. The room was AMAZING and it would have cost me at least $40 more per night when I originally booked my room so this was a great deal for me! Thanks for the tip. I'm going back in 2 weeks to the Paris hotel and I will try it there too!

No Dice For Robert at Encore...

We decided to try the tip sandwich when we were checking in. It was pretty dead at the registration, and we went up to a young female clerk. She asked for my credit card and drivers license, in which I put a $20 between the two and handed it to her. I asked if she had anything up in the upper floors with a panoramic view of the strip.

I think she has seen this game before, and the $20 instantly disappeared, as I am still not sure what she did with it. She said she will see what she could do, and offered us a room on the 33rd floor with a strip view, or 58th floor with a view the other direction going downtown. The Encore has "panoramic" rooms according to their site which are suppose to give more a view. We did not get upgraded to one of these rooms, but still had a nice view as all rooms at Encore have nice views

Not sure if the tip did any good and probably could have just asked for a room on a higher floor without the tip and may have gotten it.

I did get an upgrade but at Encore all the rooms are pretty much the same except for the parlor and salon suites.The upgrade was only a higher floor. Would love to try it at Wynn and see if it could be any better.

Went to the first available clerk. Discreetly handed over the 20$. Easy upgrade.

We arrived to check in and were offered a room on the 39th floor. I overheard a conversation between another couple and a desk clerk who told them about upgrading to a higher floor for $25/night. I have read that the highest floors are considered an upgrade and have read various stories of people complaining when they are assigned a lower floor (noise, view, etc). So when were were offered the 39th floor, I pulled out my $20 and held it with my credit card/driver's license in plain view and politely requested another floor. The clerk then offered me a smoking room on the 63rd floor, but my hubby did not want to stay in a smoking room, so we settled for room 5418 which was very close to the strip side (the rooms lower in numbers are closest to the strip --5418 is closer say than 5446). Since we did not get the top floor that I really wanted, I gave her 10 bucks, and she seemed extremely appreciative. After arriving to the room, she even called us to ask us if we were happy with the room and told me to call her if there was anything else we needed during our stay!

No Dice For Bob at Encore...

We've stayed at the Wynn the last 7 times in Vegas, and each time the sandwich has worked. It appears they have a different policy at Encore. I saw the clerk I have dealt with on several occasions at Wynn, and got in his line, but the guys in front of me were taking forever, so I moved over to the next clerk. She was very pleasant, but as soon as I offered "the sandwich" and asked if there were any complimentary room upgrades, she hastily returned the $20 and said they did have upgrades for a small fee. We eventually settled on a beautiful south strip/golf course view room on the 60th floor for an additional $25 per night. So an extra $100 altogether, rather than $20. Again, the clerk was very helpful and friendly, but the way she shoved the $20 back suggested to me that they've been told by someone higher up to work the client for some extra cash rather than pocketing the tip themselves.

No Dice For FAILURE at Encore...

Did the sandwich, he returned the 20 saying he could lose his job but seemed thankful. Gave us a bunch of different options on views, so gave us a choice of 3-4 different rooms. Not really much of an upgrade besides the view but I guess it still is an upgrade?
