Flamingo Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Cindy Got A Flamingo Room Upgrade

Arrived on a Friday at around 10:30 AM. Moderate line-up at check-in. We approached male mid-age clerk who did not appear at first to be overly friendly. I had coached my hubby prior to arrival and we were both a bit nervous as this was our first time trying this whole thing. When asked for our ID, my husband handed over the "sandwich" and asked if any complimentary upgrades were available. The clerk smiled, nervously laughed and became quite tongue-tied. He tried to explain that the "Go" rooms could not be upgraded unless we wanted to spend an extra $30/night. When we declined this option, he began typing on his keyboard and said that he had an executive suite available on the 27th floor overlooking the pool which normally costs $40 extra/night which we could have complimentary. We took it (though in hind-site, maybe should have asked for strip view or "mini-suite" as well). The room was standard 2-3 star "Holiday Inn" quality. Clean but dated nad bed was comfortable enough. However, the main areas of hotel appeared old AND dirty ... definitely needs total renovation. Now that we're more confident with this trick, we'll probably try it at the Paris or one of the other 4 star hotels that we are more accustomed to staying in.

No Dice For zengaro at Flamingo...

clerk automatically returned the twenty saying he could not do anything tonight,was more concerned about getting rid of me.Room was on the fourth floor or as I called it the spring break floor.
Didnt sleep that night went down and complained and was given an identical room on the 22 floor, I have stayed there before and the hotel has lost its luster, no one seems to clean or care about cleaning. The staff stunk and wont stay there again.

I was coming to Vegas during a prime week for Spring Breakers so I wasn't expecting this to work. After waiting about 30 minutes in the check-in line, I walked up to the desk and gave the lady the sandwich. She smiled and asked what she could do for me. She gave me the option for the same room with a view of the strip or an Executive suite. I opted for that. Not only did I get that, she gave me one with an excellent view of the pool side of the resort. I was not given the option for the GO rooms as she had no choice but to charge for the upgrade since it was a busy week. Overall... Successful and very satisfed!

Had reserved a regular base room through Expedia. When I approached the Check In Desk I inquired about an upgraded room or at least a decent view & slipped her the $20. She said that the "Go Rooms" were sold out for the week but that she'd move us from a lower floor to the 27th. Great view of Ceasars as well as the Bellagio & fountains. Money well spent for the excellent view!

Got to the long check in line about Noon on Saturday. Took about 20 minutes to get to the check in desk. I asked the mid thirtyish lady to check for a mini suite or executive suite for us, please. She set the $20 along side her keyboard and said we must have stayed here before, as most people don't call them executive suites (that's what they're called on their website), so I said that yes, we have stayed there a few times. She checked us into room 28119, on the top floor. It was a little larger than a standard room, with a small couch, chair, and coffee table, along with a comfortable king size bed. The room was clean enough, except for the carpet, but was showing it's age. However, who can complain if it's comped?

Checked in Wednesday afternoon before the valentines weekend. Weekend was booked full so there were no "go" rooms available for the entire stay there so was given a strip view. Could see Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Palace and the Belagio fountains.

Jackpot! Dave Got A Flamingo Room Upgrade

Checked in about 4pm with huge line, gave Lady the sandwich and asked for compimentary upgrade, she moved us to a strip view room on 12th floor, then i mentioned I heard the rooms on the top floors were nice and she said she could get me one but not with a strip view. We wanted the coffee maker and heard the rooms were a little larger up there...I mentioned we would see lots of the strip walking around and my wife would love the coffee. she gave us a garden view on the top (28th) floor...it was a quarter mile from the parking garage, but close to the elevator and a very nice room...worth the extra $20

slipped a 20 in passport. she asks if that was supposed to be there on purpose as she puts it on the table. ask for a complimentary upgrade and says she can upgrade to a top floor "executive room". sak if any go rooms are avail, says no, those she must charge $30/night. great view of the north end of the strip (TI, Mirage, harrahs etc). can even see the volcano explode from our room!

It was absolutly no problem. I put the 20 Dollars between the ID and the credit card. Then I asked if we could get a room with strip view? It worked. Check-in time: 8 pm.
