I thought that this site was a bunch of BS. I gave it a shot and it worked. Im going back next month to the Hard Rock and I will be giving it another shot.

This was a busy, busy weekend as everyone seemed to be getting married. She said that all she could upgrade us to was a deluxe smoking, which wasn't too smoky . Opened balcony to air out and it was fine.
She gave us lots of coupons some for free food and
spa use. Also 2 fun books which we used to eat at th Harrahs buffet and the Rio buffet. I saved over 200
with my coupons from the 20 tip. Well worth it!!!

Very crowded check in on a friday afternoon. The clerk was young and moved a little slow at first, but a supervisor walked by, saw the $20, and told her to hurry up and get us a room. Upgraded from a standard room (reserved on I4vegas), which I'm sure was above the dreaded parking garage, to a nice Love Tub suite overlooking the pool and away from the barely operational elevators. Nice room for a pretty disgusting place, I'd go back!

No Dice For Mark at Imperial Palace...

Tried this trick for the first time in May 2007. It was the night of the De La Hoya / Mayweather fight, and I was staying for 7 nights. I checked in mid-afternoon on Saturday, and was told the hotel was sold out, which I believe to be true, because attempts to book another room through any website (hotel or otherwise) prior to my trip was unsuccessful. (It said no rooms were available for one or more days during my stay.) Obviously shorter stays and mid-week attempts may prove more successful. I did have a corner room (which was bigger) overlooking the pool. For a no-frills room center strip, you can't beat location or price. It's my first time staying here, and it met my needs, but was nothing spectacular.

Gave the clerk my name and ask for upgrade. Handed her ID and credit card with $20 in between. This is a very busy weekend. Was upgraded to a high floor Deluxe room in a tower overlooking the Strip. Good luck to you all

Clerk refused the tip. I handed the bill between my DL and CC. She did ask if I wanted high up, away from Carnival Court, near elevator, etc., but was not receptive to the $20 trick at all.

We arrived at the hotel at about 2 pm. The first available agent was a middle-aged asian male. He seemed friendly, and when I approached I offered an enthusiastic "hello" and asked how he was doing today. He got my name and began pulling up my reservation, while I fumbled with a $20, trying to slip it behind my ID (I wasn't as prepared as I should have been). I tilted the ID with the $20 towards him and asked if there were any "complimentary upgrades." He didn't even looked at the money, and I don't think he ever saw it. He responded that there were no upgrades, then looked at his computer screen as told me that we were "already upgraded to [their] mini suite." I palmed the $20, and asked if the mini-suite was their Standard Love Tub room (which is what I booked, for $76/night). He confirmed that it was (so, we were not, in fact, upgraded at all). Then I asked if they had any Deluxe Love Tub rooms available (which were $133/night), and he said he'd check. He typed on his computer for a minute and confirmed that there were. He printed out the paperwork, and confirmed the upgraded room type, and the original $76 rate. Then he asked me to sign. I slipped a $10 bill under the paper when I passed it back (maybe a bit cheap, but he didn't see the $20, and he upgraded us without any knowledge of a tip). When he picked up the paper, he saw the $10 and said "for me?" and I nodded and said "yes." He thanked me, and picked it up and pocketed it. We received a very nice room, right near the elevators (though, not so close that we could hear them), overlooking the pool, on the 11th floor. And our room was clean and in very good condition. Having never stayed at the IP, I didn't have very high expectations. But, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with the Deluxe room we had. I don't think I'd spend $133/night on it, but the $76/night plus the $10 tip was worth it.

My boyfriend originally said he was going to "go to the bathroom" when I tried to get the upgrade. Instead, he hung back and watched from a distance. He seemed kind of embarrassed by it (though, I'm the wheeler and dealer out of the two of us), and doubted that it would work. But, afterwards he was really impressed, and happy that we had just saved about $60/night, and gotten a nicer room.

I'm not sure this really qualifies for the $20 trick but we arrived at the IP at about 11:30 pm on a Saturday night. We were told by a REALLY nice clerk that she had "good news" and "bad news" for us. I asked what the "bad news" was and she replied that they were overbooked and didn't have our requested room available for us. When I asked what the "good news" was, she told me that we were given a complimentary upgrade to the penthouse suite! This room was on the 19th floor that had it's own elevator and was not apparently used for accomodation purposes! It was an entire floor with about 6 different suites - each reserved for the owner of the hotel when he stays there! Our balcony was 50 yards long, overlooking Caesars-palace/"target="_blank">Caesar's Palace. The room had a king size bed, huge bathroom with glass shower, hollywood style vanity, living room with big screen TV, and a separate weight/gym room! We did tip the clerk $50 after she personally accompanied us to our suite, but we received the upgrade without any money at all. It was a great vacation!
