Flamingo Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Paula Got A Flamingo Room Upgrade

Did the trick as per instructions. Said "we'd really like a Go room" was told they don't do comp upgrades to Go rooms (which kinda seems weird considering others on this site have managed to get them - it may have been that he was training someone). He had a chat with the manager and came up with a Mini Suite overlooking pool which is normally an extra $60 a night. I'm happy with that!

How it Happened: Handed cc and id with $20 in each set so $40 in all, she saw the $20's and knew straight away what the crack was. she tapped away pocketed the money then said that you can have the top floor but they are working on the rooms the floor below round the clock and we might hear them working so she suggested floor 17, i just said ok 17th floor was high enough. but that bloody Toni Braxton window poster is a pain in the rear. the GO rooms are lovely the TV in the bathroom is a nice touch and the pink soft down lighting is a nice affect. the cd player in the room is really loud and surprisingly you couldnt hear it much when i went next door to my moms room. and the plama TV was great the carpet though was still the same stuff as last year, mabe they hadnt done the teh pets yet in the rooms as the hallways were all GO'd up with new jazzy carpet.

Simple and easy and it worked even over the weekend. I waited on line leting others pass until the clerk that I wanted opened up. Handed him the sandwich and asked for the complimentary upgrades. He offered the GO room over the pool and that was acceptable to me.

We arrived at the Flamingo lobby around 10:30 AM and the check in line was very very long.
The word to everyone was the rooms would not be ready until 2PM due to getting all the rooms cleaned due to high turnover on sunday.
We figured theres no way the $20 trick was going to work but what the hell give it a shot!

We stepped up to the counter and were greeted by a conservative looking women in her late 30's. I asked right away ater sliding her my credit card and license with $20 tucked between if she thought it might be possible for a comp upgrade. She smiled and said how about an executive suite on the top 28th floor with a coffee maker and two double beds? I happily agreed and what a view!Waking up every morning looking out at the strip with view of Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Ceasers and the Bellagio.Next time i'm going to shoot for a go room, although i believe they do not overlook the strip which is quite the experiance.

I put a $20 between my cc and drivers license and asked about upgrades. He put everything on the desk and said he could upgrade us to a Go room for $25/night instead of the typical $50. I tried to push him a little but relented and agreed to pay for the upgrade. He still pocketed the money. The room was nice, on the 25th floor, and had a good view of the fountains. I'm not sure if the 25/night was a 'deal' I got by tipping but I don't think it was.

Checked in with a youngish female who was wearing a different uniform than the other clerks, so she may have been a manager. Chatted a bit and handed her the $20 sandwich. I said we'd appreciate anything she could do for us as far as an upgrade goes. She gave us a room on the 10th floor, strip view facing Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Palace, with a view of the Bellagio fountains as well. Said she could give us a higher floor, but they were doing a lot of construction on the upper floors, and we may hear some noise in the mornings. She thanked us for the tip and we were on our way.

Clerk gave us a mini-suite with no problems at all. GO rooms were 'untouchable' that week as they were very busy. Very professional and would definitely try this again.

Checked into airport desk. slid 20 - upgraded to exec. suite. - no differance than a regular room - just had added couch. My recommendation - ask for a "go room" instead - Apon check out at hotel - male clerk told me that airport clerk made a mistake and should not have upgraded and he was going to have to charge me the differance. I told him she did it for our "anniversary" and there is no way he is charging me after the fact. - he said she is not allow to do that. Is he just pissed off he didn't get any of the "tip"???

I APPLIED THE $20 BETWEEN THE CREDIT CARD AND DRIVERS LICENSE. I WAS CHECKING INTO THE hotel AT AROUND 9PM. I ASKED THE CLERK FOR A POSSIBLE UPGRAGDE IN HOPES OF A WINDOW VIEW, AND HIGHER FLOOR. SHE TOLD ME SHE WOULD CHECK, SHE QUICKLY RESPONDED WITH AN UPGRADE TO AN EXECUTIVE ROOM WITH THE VIEW OF THE STRIP, Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Ceasers FOUNTAINS WERE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET ( GREAT VIEW) HAD IT BEEN 30 YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE EVIL KENIVEL JUMP THE FOUNTAINS FROM MY ROOM WITH NO HASSLE. ( THERE WAS ONE SLIGHT PROBLEM AS WHEN I GOT IN THE ROOM , WE REALIZED THE BATHROOM WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY) I SIMPLY ASKED FOR THE SAME TYPE ROOM AND THE CLERK PUT ME IN A ROOM ON THE 11TH FLOOR WITH THE SAME VIEW. I WAS VERY SATISFIED..

First, thanks very much for your site. Reserved a 4-night stay Sat-Tues. Checked in approx. 5.00 PM. Did the $20 sandwich and told her I was hoping she may have something in a complimentary upgrade. She took the D/L and CC and placed them on her keyboard. She unfolded the $20 and placed it right on top of the counter and said she would see what she could do. She did some checking and told me that a comp upgrade for 4 nights was difficult because of sold out dates during my stay. She offered "Go Room" for a fee. Told her we were just interested in a comp upgrade and mentioned that we were celebrating. (Celebrating a free upgrade, hopefully.) She did some more checking and offered a Deluxe Suite for Sat night but I would have to swicth to a standard ("deluxe") room for the other 3 nights. I asked if the suite was nice. She said we would be pleased. She said that a number of these particular suites are held by casino ops for high rollers w/o reservations and she needed to get permission to put me in there. As it was late in the day, the number of unexpected high rollers was dwindling and she believed she could get an OK. She went in the back and came out with the good news. We were on the 27th floor (28 is the highest floor) with a huge living room. Floor to ceiling windows, an L-shaped couch that would seat 6 people, huge coffee table with 2 additional easy chairs and very large screen TV. Also had a small dining table with 3 chairs, huge granite wet bar with refrig, separate icemaker, and 3 bar stools, 2 bathrooms (one had a large fully tiled stall shower with a built-in seat; the other a large jacuzzi tub. We had to move for the rest of the trip but the one night was so worth $20 I would do it again in a heartbeat. BTW, Flamingo "Go Pool" was a blast; great people, tasty cocktails, sun, water, oh, and those topless free spirited ladies. I can't wait to go back. Thanks again - You guys Rock !!
