Hello all, long time lurker. I saw this thread a month before me and my friends were headed out to Vegas and I had to try it. I was a little skeptical since this is a timeshare that my family owns (Hilton Grand Vacations Club) and the hotel/rules are a little different, so I was wondering if it would work. Well, we got in and there was no line so I went straight to the clerk, a skinny guy who looked nice. I said my name and he asked for my ID + credit card immediately, so I quickly and sloppily fumbled to put a 20 in between the two. I said "I hope we can get a nice room" as he took the bribe sandwich, and he kind of gave me a subtle look and nod and said "I'll be sure to do that" or something along those lines. He also said that if we planned on valet-ing our car to bring the ticket to him and he would "take care of it". I asked him how much valet was (to be sure) and he simply said "I'll take care of it". We didn't end up using valet, so that was a waste. Anyway, we got up to our room and it was a handicapped room. It had a bigger common room, bigger bathrooms, and handheld shower head/massagers, but lacked the jacuzzi tub in normal rooms and everything was low to the ground. So the room had its upgrades and downgrades. But I believe the clerk was trying to hook us up, so all in all it worked. Plus me and my friends had an awesome time in Vegas so the room really didn't make a difference either way.

edit: The room also had power drapes which I was thoroughly amused with.

We booked in when it was busy so just took next available clerk. We were in the middle of people checking in for a convention and crying about the hold on their debit card because they did not have a credit card to check in. So, I think we were a welcome relief. She took it looked at me said a sincere thank you and went to work. It does take a little while because I think they have to unassign our other room to book the new one. But we got a 2 room suite, with 2 complete rooms. I think she said we were going to get a pull out bed in an unrenovated tower but we went to renovated really nice suite. Will definitely do again. In a place where two coffee and two doughnuts can cost you $20.00 was the best money I spent. Just do not make a big deal about it, just slip the tip and let them work. Even my boyfriend who was right beside me at check-in did not know I had done it. He said he kept thinking when I am going to tip? $20.00 sandwich is definitely the way to go !!!!!
