Flamingo Hotel Room Upgrades

No Dice For Almo at Flamingo...

tried the sandwich with an older woman. In retro I should have avoided her. She handed the $20 back to me immediately but offered a deluxe strip view for $20+ per night but she still wanted the tip afterwards. Uhhh, no. I ended up going back down after midnight to complain about a dripping shower and was able to be upgraded to a luxury go room for $27 per so that worked but the tip process failed. Lesson: look for 20-30 yo's as they are more likely to take the tip.

I found this website a few weeks prior to our trip and couldn't wait to try it. It worked like a charm!! We sandwiched the $20 in between our IDs and she seemed like she knew exactly what that was for. She just typed away for a few minutes and after a few minutes of not saying anything, we asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She told us she was checking that right now and continued typing again. Few minutes went by, and she told us she went ahead and upgraded us to their GO rooms and gave us coupon booklets and 2 for 1 show tickets! Will def. try this trick next time we go!!! :)

I already had a steal of a deal, but I was hoping to get a larger suite. Instead, I got a "Go Room - Luxury" instead of a "Go Room - Deluxe". The only difference is that the "Luxury" rooms are on the upper floors and have a view of the Bellagio / Strip" view.

All in all.... I think it worked. I really tried to press to get something even better, but I was satisfied.

Got in line and lucked out with a young male rather than the older guy or the supervisor. Followed the standard approach and he checked the computer for a minute and then said he would be right back. He came back and said "I don't have any GO rooms but if you don't mind walking a little I can give you a mini-suite." Mini-suite was basically an oversized room but definitely served our entertainment needs. View of the pool. It was allllllll the way at the end of a looooong hallway though.

No Dice For Mark at Flamingo...

Came in about 8:00 p.m. on Thursday. A young fellow named Javier was at the desk. Did the 20 thing and he recognized it right away. Unfortunately the hotel was sold out for the weekend as they were getting guests from other Harrah's properties. He made what I thought was a good effort to find an upgrade for us. He was not successful and was very apologetic. Took the 20 back and thanked him for the effort. Wrong weekend.

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!

No Dice For Intoxic8 at Flamingo...

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.
