Flamingo Hotel Room Upgrades

No Dice For autologic at Flamingo...

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 !!

I checked in way early--10AM. Did the trick to the tee. The young woman did look to see what was available and said due to the fact that so many people had not yet checked out, there wasn't much available. She did manage to get me a great view room and did return my $20.00 She was very pleasent and I gave her $5.00 just for her effort.

Arrived hotel at 11:30 a.m. Went straight to the Gold members line, got a young man, told him it was my birthday, (it really was) and asked for any comp upgrades for a larger room as there were 4 of us staying in one room. Had the $20 stuck between ID and Credit Card..... He did some checking and came up with the mini-suite which is really just a bigger room with a living area, BUT it was the last room on the 10th floor so it was a VERY long walk.

I got to the Flamingo around 1 p.m with a long line of people waiting in the reservation line. There was another line called the "Gold Card" line, where if you had a gold player's card from one of the connecting casinos (Caesars, Harrahs, etc..), you were able to reserve your room through that line which only had 1 older couple ahead of me. I had my sandwich ready for a 24ish-26ish young lady who was doing the reservations. I did my part with breaking the ice and making her smile and giggle with the intial conversation. When asked for my credit card, I gave her the sandwich, and aske her if there were any room upgrades available. She took the $20 out and put it on the counter and said, "We'll see if we need this later, let me check and see we have anything available for you." She left left for about 3 minutes and said she had good news. She placed us in a brand new "Go" room which she said was a $75 room upgrade. She asked if she could help with anything else, and I told her that she had done plenty, and I proceed toleave, leaving the $20 on the counter. She said thank you while I was grabbing my bag, and I just smiled back.

Arrived at the Flamingo approximately 9:30 AM. No line at front desk - went to check on availability. Folded $20 between license and credit card, slightly fanned out. Told clerk we were here for convention but that DH had to entertain himself while I was working. Told her it was our anniversary (didn't say anniversary of what!) She noticed the $20 immediately, smiled and asked what I'd like. I told her that I didn't care about the "Go" room, but wanted extra room to move around in, as DH liked to watch late TV while I slept.

She hooked us up! We got a mini-suite, corner room with beautiful view of pool area, 11th floor. DH tipped housekeeping to clean room early, so he was settled in by noon. This will be a wonderful stay, I'm sure!
