Flamingo Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Jeff Got A Flamingo Room Upgrade

my wife and I arrived at the Flamingo las vegas at around 9pm on a sunday. the line was not too long. the wait was painless. I didnt target any particular clerk before approaching the front desk. when it was our turn, we were greeted by a lovely 20 something young lady. she was very pleasant. when she asked for my photo id and credit card, I had my "sandwich" ready and handed it to her and said, " I was wondering if any complimentary upgrades were available tonight." she smiled, slid the $20 smoothly under her computer keyboard, and said simply, "let me check on that for you". she then tapped around on her keyboard for a while, then stopped and said she had a "wonderful" room for us. the room was a luxury "go" room with a view of the Bellagio fountains and south strip. this would be a no charge upgrade, but she also had a suite with a nice view for $75 more a night. I took the go room. she wrapped it up and we were off. the room was all she had promised. quiet, best view I have ever had in Vegas, clean, great bed, excellent in everyway. the Flamingo is getting a bit older, but I will continue to go there as long as the service is as top notch as it was this time. the sandwich helped too!

I checked in around 830pm on a thursday. I spotted a nice young lady clerk and hoped to get her. Instead I got a bald gentlemen around 30 y/o. I had my sandwich ready and when he asked for my ID, I slid it over and said, 'If you have any complimentary upgrades available, I would really appreciate it.' He looked at the sandwich, then back at me and smiled. He looked like it was the first time someone did that to him that day. He said, 'Oh dont worry my friend, We'll take care of you.' I booked a standard double, they gave me a GO Room (2 beds, shower with the jets in the wall, TV in the bathroom mirror, 52'' hdtv in the room, and everything was controlled by a switch...) overlooking the Bellagio fountains and the strip.

AWESOME weekend!

We checked in at about 10:30 in the morning on a Wednesday. We already had all 5 nights comp'd to begin with. But, I figured it was worth a shot to give it a try. I slipped the $20.00 between my credit card and drivers license and asked about complimentary upgrades. Lo and behold, she was able to upgrade us to a suite with a separate living room and bedroom with a king sized bed. Worth the $20.00!

Arrived at the hotel around 10:30 p.m. on Ssturday night. There were about 3-4 people in front of us with 2 clerks checking people in. One of the clerks looked very business-like and we were hoping to get the other clerk who was younger and appeared more friendly. As luck would have it we got the friendly one. I handed over a $20 between my ID and credit card and asked if there were any complimentary rooms available. She smiled, laid the $20 next to her keyboard and said she would see what she could do. As she clicked away on the computer she also picked up the phone and was talking to someone. She hung up and said that she would be able to upgrade us to a GO room on the 25th floor with a view of the strip at no additional charge! I believe they usually charge an additional $30/night for these rooms. We immediately said yes and were very pleased with the room. Looked out over Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Palace and could also see the fountains at the Bellagio. Will definitely try this again the next time we are in Vegas! I was skeptical when I first heard about this - but I'm a believer now!

The front desk was crowded, but no line. The only available clerk waved us in..I handed her the sandwich and asked for an upgrade. she smiled and said she would check. She laid out the cards and money on keyboard, as I spoke to my wife, the next thing I noticed was the money was gone and she completed the transaction. She never mentioned an upgrade, but told me we were in GO room which I new was an upgrade. She was very friendly and helpful!

I got to the hotel at around 9pm. There were maybe 10 people ahead of me. There were 4 clerks in total, but 2 of them were very busy with their customers. As I got closer to the front of the line, I was a bit nervous but hopeful. I wanted to make sure to show some confidence as I asked, so I kept rehearsing the line in my head. As I got to the front, a nice young Caucasian girl in her early-mid 20's helped me. She asked for my last name, then asked for ID and credit card. As I was passing the sandwich it over, I confidently uttered the magic words, "I was wondering if you had any complimentary upgrades?". She politely said, "I'll see what I can do for you." and bam! upgraded to a Mini-suite. Thank you "A" from the Flamingo!

Checked in on a rainy Vegas Wednesday morning at 11:30am. Small line with several clerks working so there was no way to target any individual although I was prepared to create a small diversion and let the guest behind me go ahead should the uncooperative elderly gentlemen often noted on this site motion me forward. Fortunately my front desk clerk was a pleasant looking woman in her late 20's/early 30's with shoulder length dark hair, dark eyes and a super-sweet disposition. I kept the sandwich hidden until the very last moment as to keep a low profile to the other clerks and the eye in the sky. I was not overly chatty but attempted to be polite, friendly and prepared. To start, I handed over a print-out of my Hot Deals reservation booked directly from the Flamingo website, for their standard (Deluxe) nonsmoking room at $44 per night ($55 Friday/Saturday)for five nights. When she asked for my ID and credit card, I calmly pulled it from my blazer pocket, covering it with my hand and let her take it from me as it dangled just on the other side of the counter. And as she did I quietly and politlely asked if they were offering any complimentary upgrades. Without any facial reaction at all she set the sandwich slightly behind her keyboard and asked if I was celebrating anything. I replied that it was the wife's birthday. She tapped on her keyboard and noted that she wanted to find something that was available right then. I was offered a king nonsmoking facing the Strip or a suite facing Bally's. I asked whether there was a considerable size difference and she nodded "yes", so I took the suite. She also had a small fridge immediately sent up. She was just wonderful about the whole process. The room was not one of their GO suites but it was quite nice--seperate bedroom and large seating area, two televisions, desk area. We turned the two easy chairs towards the window at an angle to catch the Bellagio fountains. It seemed too good to be true but when I checked out, the rate was still the Hot Deal I had reserved.

A young lady because we thought we would have the best luck with her.
It was around 11:30 am.
Do you have any complimentary upgrades to a room with a view? She was going to give us something on the 11th floor but we asked if there was something higher and she said they usually charge $20.00 more per night for those rooms but she wouldn't charge us.

We arrived at about 12:00 midnight. I didn't target any clerk in particular, but I was happy to get the attractive young woman with glasses. I just put the 20 between the credit card and license (first thing she asked for) and asked "Do you have any upgrades available?”. She quickly set the 20 aside and proceeded to check the computer. She said she had no more Go rooms available but gave us our choice of three other rooms. One of the room choices was a mini suite overlooking the pool. I said "sounds good to me", thanked her and it was all done like that. My buddy gave me a high five and we were on our way. Good luck!

Stood in line for about 35 minutes waiting to get checked in at around 1pm. When I got to the desk I was waited on a mid 20's ish woman who was very pleasant. I handed her the sandwich and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available to a Go Room. She politely declined saying it wasn't possible but after some typing away she upgraded me to a corner Executive suite on the 28th (top) floor. Great view of the Bellagio Fountains and Caesars. I was happy!!
