Jackpot! Anonymous Got A Encore Room Upgrade

had an early morning flight into vegas, with 3pm check-in at the Encore. i slipped $20 between credit card and dl and asked the guy if there was any possibility of an early check-in. he went into the back and came out a few minutes later. no problem. also, he switched me to a room facing the strip, which was nice because the room i had reserved didn't have a view. well worth the $20.

No Dice For Sandy at Encore...

Checked in with $50 sandwich between ID and AMEX BLACK CENTURION CARD. Agent apologized but the sandwich was NOT necessary and was returned. Because I was a Centurion card holder, I was provided with the highest upgrade available to Parlor Suite and escorted to the room and a RED card was registered with my name. Originally booked a Resort Suite.

I was a little worried about doing it. I was literally putting the $20 in between my CC and my DL as i was walking to the counter. It was around 5pm and not busy. I started chatting with the lady and placed the sandwiched money on the counter. I asked her immediately if there was anything she could do for the room. She looked up in the system and found this room. I needed a room with 2 queens and she was good about asking me if 1 king and a roll-away would work, I said no. She told me the room normally costs 50 bucks a night more but was doing it anyways. At the end I asked if we could get into the nightclubs and she didn't have any XS passes that would work for the saturday i was there but i got 4 free passes to Blush ($30 cover per person normally). I thanked her and we were set. I didn't know what view we got but was pleasantly surprised when I saw it was of the strip. Make sure if you are staying at Encore to get an EVEN numbered room cause that will face the strip. First time doing it and I will try it again and hopefully be a little smoother about it.

Piece of cake. Hubby did the talking when we determined the clerk was female. Worked like a charm!

Placed the twenty on my wallet and asked, "may I get a panoramic room on a high floor"? The clerk was very friendly and we casually chatted about traveling and other things while she searched out the best room. Scored a non-smoking room on the 59th floor. I even asked for a line pass for the buffet and got that too! I tipped her the twenty, which she first declined, but I insisted so it was a good win-win situation.

I actually started a friendly conversation with the clerk and mentioned how Encore is the nicest hotel and how her day is, etc.
She just mentioned "you know what, I'll give you an upgrade to the top floor and a panoramic suite"
Sometimes, all it takes is a friendly conversation :) Give it a shot if you are too embarrassed or nervous to do the $20 trick.

Worked perfectly as described. I mentioned that it was my girlfriend's b-day and they sent a fancy chocolate happy birthday dessert up the next day as well...this is a great way to maximize value!
