No Dice For CowboyCraig55 at Excalibur...

Walked up and was friendly with the clerk. She asked my name and I told her and handed her my cc and id with the 20.00 between them and asked if they had any complimentary upgrades. She said that I could upgrade to the remodeled room for another $30.00 per night. I said no thanks. She turned to her manager and said, "No upgrades, right?" The manager said, "No."
I will try again next time.

Booked the lowest rate I could find - $51/nt. Wed-Thu and $101 Fri-Sat. Put the $20 between the CC and ID and asked simply : "Do you have any complimentary upgrades available?" She replied : "I can give you a widescreen room at no additional charge (costs $20/night normally.) I accepted and she thanked me profusely as I left. Also gave me 2 line passes, a $20 dining credit and two $10 match play coupons. Well worth it.

I slid a 20 between my ID and CC and asked for an upgrade. She said "you guys are gonna love me I have one available for you and thank you". I dont know for sure if it was the 20 or the fact that it was my gf's 21st birthday that day and my birthday was 2 days later. Never the less she was polite and funny and deserved a tip. I ended up getting the entire 5 days comped anyways!

The remodeled rooms have a 42 inch LCD, better bathrooms, alarm clock with ipod dock and better view.
Did the trick on a clerk wearing a black jacket. Not sure if he was a manager or not. Check-in was pretty busy as well but no one noticed what I was trying except the clerk. Put in a $20 between my CC and ID and casually slid it over and asked if there were any comp upgrades. The clerk did some checking and hooked it up.

Said that all the rooms were filled and that they were not able to provide us with any upgrades. Gave us an option of upgrading with $20 extra each night. First time in vegas and was sad it did not work but i'll try again the next time I go.

Placed the $20 bill between ID and credit card and asked if there were any complimentary room upgrades. I did not think it would work as there was a huge conference and this was one of the "official" hotels. I was upgraded to a "Strip View Room."

I gave the 20 inside my passport with my credit card and asked for complimentary upgrades. The very young lady said that there weren't any suites available but that she has a Stip View Deluxe available.

I traveled in a group of four and reserved two rooms in a package deal through Northwest World Vacations. Unfortunately, we didn't get there till late on Friday night, so everything was booked and sold out. I handed the guy $40 plus our ids and CCs and asked for any complimentary upgrades. All that was available was the deluxe rooms which are a little bigger with a seating area. The bathrooms were also quite large, but I don't know how they compared to the Tower Rooms. Since we got there so late, I think we probably got a bad deal. But it did work again. I tried getting the guy to throw in some comps for food or shows, but he didn't get what I was hinting at.

A last minute weekend trip coming from Southern CA. We knew it would be crowded due it being a sold out UFC weekend but decided to try the trick anyways. We checked in about midnight Friday/Sat morning. The check in line was packed. Got a nice young guy and made small talk with him. When he asked for my credit card I had the $20 underneath it but enough for him to see. I asked if there were any upgrades and he said all they had left were upgrades so it would be free anyways. i asked him if he had any suites available and he said "As a matter of fact I have 1 left at $100 extra a night". I kind of tapped the credit card on the counter and said "even with this tip". He was quiet for amoment and said he would go talk to his manager. I watched him and saw his manager shake his head yes. I ended up getting the suite for only $50 extra a night. I consider this a success because of it being a sold out weekend. My normal room rate $115 and my girlfriend and I would have been stuck with 2 queen beds. Great suite and thanks for all the info in this forum

It worked great for me at the Excalibur this past weekend. I handed the girl at the desk my credit card with the 20, she put the 20 on the desk and she upgraded me to a deluxe room. She said that there weren't any suites available for nights I was there.
