Tipped:  $0 Upgraded to  PARADISE TOWER QUEEN  from  HOTEL TOWER 

I had been told check in started at 4pm when I booked the reservations. I called the day of at noon and I asked if I could check in early and if I could get a room upgrade. They agreed to both and had my room ready and waiting when I arrived at 1pm. This was a Saturday. Always try calling first before you arrive. What could it hurt? If that doesn’t work then you can try the 20$ tip trick.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  HRH Pool View Suite  from  Casino Tower 

I checked in late around 7PM on a Tuesday after a long flight from the East Coast. I walked up to the first clerk available, a younger guy and handed him the $20 between my ID and Credit card, and asked him if any complimentary room upgrades were available. He said, let me see what I can do. I had booked a Casino Tower room through an offer I received from the hotel for $19 a nite. He offered me a Paradise tower room first, but I politely asked if he could give me an HRH suite. He first said that would be an upgrade charge, but I talked up the long flight, and that I had worked in the morning and it would really make my trip if he could hook me up. He found me a suite in HRH! I was stoked…So I head off to the separate entrance to the HRH feeling like a rock star!..But to my surprise when I got into the room, it was a suite, but not one of the nicer suites in HRH, so I was a bit disappointed. I tried to lock my bankroll in the safe prior to heading down for a late dinner with my boys, who had hit vegas earlier in the day…but the safe wouldn’t lock. I saw this as a great opportunity. I went back down, to the different check in desk that is exclusive for the HRH, and explained to the different clerk that my safe didn’t work, and that they had given me a small suite, not the big HRH suite. I talked up the long flight again, and said if he could hook me up with a bigger suite with a pool view, that would make my trip. BINGO, he said no problem! I checked into the big suite with separate living room, built in room stereo, and the largest bathroom! So, I stayed in the HRH tower suite for 3 nites. The $20 sandwich works!

Saved:  $80 Tipped:  $40 Upgraded to  HRH Pool Suite  from  Casino Tower 

Slipped $40 in between Driver’s License and Credit Card. At first she acted totally shocked and surprised when she saw the money and I said “Please let me know if you have any upgrades available. If not, that’s alright.” And she said “Lemme look,” and upgraded us to a pool suite. Probably saved about $100. She then said “This is *very* appreciated. Always.” Like she was trying to encourage me to do it again.

Tipped:  $50 Upgraded to  Supreme Pool View Queen Suite - HRH Tower  from  Mountain View Queen - Casino Tower 

Didn’t target any clerk, just spoke to a very friendly Filipino Girl at around 10am to check in and asked her if we could get any complimentary upgrades. Put the $50.00 in between my booking sheet, passport and credit card. Wasn’t able to check in straight away but when we came back at 3pm she advised us that we were upgraded to the HRH Suite. Massive Win.

We didn’t choose anyone specifically and it was the morning time around 11:30am. I asked about a complimentary upgrades and mentioned it was our anniversary. We were upgraded to the casino tower with an amazing city view and they also gave us a smoking room and waived the early check in fee

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Casino Tower Pool  from  Paradise Tower 

We checked in very late ~ 1am due to a delay. The clerk told us to come back the next morning for our room upgrade. We stayed one night in the Paradise Tower room, returned to the front desk the next morning and got a beautiful room in the Casino Tower!

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  corner room very nice  from  Standard 

To be honest is was very easy… It wasn’t busy when I checked in and I began by chatting up the girl at the front desk a bit, when she asked for my ID and credit card I slipped her the “Sandwich” and while doing it I asked in a pleasant voice, “Do you think you have any complimentary upgrades available?” and she said ” I’m sure I can find something”. She seemed very surpised for the $20 tip. I’m not in the penthouse, but I believe my $20 was money well spent!!! Great advice!

Tipped:  $40 Upgraded to  Casino Tower Pool  from  Paradise Tower 

Asked for a complimentary room upgrade and gave a $40 sandwich. I expected to get upgraded to a suite, since that was the next room type up from what I booked. Instead the guy acted appreciative but simply put me in a Casino Tower room that was identical to the one I already had! I don’t care about the view, I just wanted a fancier room. I was very disappointed and on the 2nd day of my stay I went and asked for a suite upgrade, willing to pay whatever it took. Turns out a suite upgrade was $40 to begin with.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Casino Tower Deluxe Suite Pool View  from  Casino Tower Standard Room Mountain View 

It was a late birthday trip for my girl as she had just turned 22 on Oct 21 and I wanted this to be a special trip. I had already booked our room at the Hard Rock, but did a little research on getting room upgrades and found your site. We arrived in Vegas about 10:30am and decided to go ahead and pre-register. I already had the sandwich ready to go. I went to the first clerk that was available. She was an attractive girl maybe 24yrs old. I chatted her up a bit, telling her about my girl’s recent birthday. She asked for my ID and credit card. I handed her the sandwich and asked if there were any complimentry upgrades available. She took the sandwich and without any hesitation said “let me see what we have” She then said she could upgrade us to a deluxe suite with a pool view!…and we were able to check in early rather than wait around till 3p…so awesome. Initially I didn’t know if it would work because it was Halloween weekend and there were several big events going on that weekend, one being the UFC fight. All in all had a great time with an incredible room. Will definitely use this technique again!! Thank You!
