Las Vegas Hilton Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! magic01 Got A Las Vegas Hilton Room Upgrade

I had a conference at the Hilton and had a standard room reserved for 4 nights, paid for by my company. My husband and I arrived at the Hilton around 11AM and figured we would try to check in even though check-in time wasn't until 3PM. The clerk asked if we would like to upgrade our room for an additional $50 a night. I declined. She then asked me for my license and credit card. I already had the $20 folded in between them and handed it to the clerk. I then asked if she had any complimentary upgrades available. At first she said no, sorry..until she saw the $20 and then gave me a smile and told me she would see what she could do. She went to the back for a minute(which made me nervous) and then came back and was typing away trying to find us something. She was able to find us a renovated north tower room with the king size bed and plasma tv. She said the only room that was available at that time was on the 2nd floor. I didn't care and took it since we just wanted to get in the room already insted of waiting until 3PM. I couldn't believe it worked! The room was nice, had a fridge but dissapointed that there was no coffee maker. But, took the gamble and we really enjoyed the upgrades. Well worth the $20! Everyone should try it!

I walked up to the clerk, gave my name, and asked if there were any upgrades available. He said, "Yes, let me check." He started typing away and then asked for my ID. I slipped the $20 between DL, CC, and Hilton card and handed it over. He showed me a picture of the room that I had reserved and showed me a picture of what he could move me to. I said that was fine. I wonder, though, if I could've gotten a complimentary upgrade without the $20 since he had already said yes when I asked. I was too excited to try out the tipping trick that I didn't think straight.

My husband and I checked into the Hilton and did the hidden $20 thing. The female receptionist was so tickled, that alone was worth $20. She asked us what type of room we would like. Showed us numerous pictures of rooms and ask us our floor preference. The whole experience was quite fun.

I arrived early with my wife at the LV Hilton around 9am. I was prepared that check in was 3pm, but figured I would hang around the hotel until that time. I walked up to the associate and asked if she could look me up and check me in. She pulled me up in the system, stated check in was 3pm and then asked if I would like an upgrade to the "renovated rooms" for $50 a night. I politely declined and she then asked for my CC and ID. I slipped the $20 between and as she separated the cards, she goes OH! Ummm.....Ive upgraded you to our renovated rooms for no extra charge and Ill put in a rush to have your room prepared. You should be able to check in at 11am. I thanked her and went to the Buffet and used my 2for1 coupon from the American casino guide 2007. Later than night I made $700 in black jack and I have to say THANK YOU to the FWers that post here and gave me the confidence to try this. My wife and I enjoyed our 1 year anniversary and Id like to recommend the LV Hilton to anyone looking for a good price on a hotel room. Its leaps and bounds beyond the other low cost hotels and being off the strip isn't a drawback whatsoever.

$20 with ID & Credit card, I didn't even start saying the complimentary upgrade thing, the bill is disappear already.
she then went inside for 30 Secs(check how much the I Tipping maybe???)come back working on the computer,then she said upgraded me to Napa Executive Suite on 28 floor and it should cost $600 more per night. as soon as I finish with the check-in I go up to the so called Napa Executive Suite as soon as I can, after I open the door of the "Napa Executive Suite", I was like "what the f..." why the "Napa Executive Suite" look the same with the classic room??? but since I booked the room for cheap(Super Santa Anita), I did not go back and talk to her, my friends did not do the $20. they stay @ 5th and 8th floor.

Used the Santa Anita Package to book my hotel. $169.00 for 4 days and 3 nights. Upon checkin, I was asked for the ID and CC. Slipped the $20.00 between the cards and started asking her about the new renovated rooms in the North Tower. She told me that to stay there it would be an additional $50.00 per night, so I declined the offer. Then she saw the $20.00 and offered to give back to me. I told her to keep it because she was very nice and friendly and that my wife was really hoping to spend our 10th year anniversary (which was true) in a nice room. She then told me " Lets See, Hold On, it looks like I just might have something for you". I guess giving her a compliment and allowing her to keep the money helped me get upgraded. I was put on the 19th floor, w/Plasma TV, close to the elevators and a nice front view of the hotel and Strip.

Well, It was my first time to vegas. I arrived around 1pm and I went to the check in counter and the lady asked me if I would like to upgrade my room ? I said was it free and she said NO, it was $60 extra per night.Then I said I don't want it. Then she asked for my id and credit card. Knowing that she wasn't probaly gonna give me a upgrade I still put the folded $20 between my cards and gave it to her. She looked at it and I then I asked her do you guys have any complimentary upgrades available ? Then she said let me check. Then I got upgraded to their new room in the North Tower. My room had a Plasma Flat Screen Tv, Refrigerator,Power Drapes, Nice View, and the beds were also nice. Oh yeah and the water in the room was also free. I think each water bottle was $4.00 each and I got 2 free everyday for my 6 night/ 7 day trip. Overall it was a nice hotel.

When asked for my ID and CC I had a folded $20 peaking out in between.
Due to the length of my reservation I was wondering if $20 would be enough to get it done.
The clerk immediately knew what was going on and asked what type of room I would like.
Got a high floor (27th) renovated room in the North Tower with a large flat screen, and
about as good a view as you'll find from the Hilton. As an extra note, my reservation
had been lost and the clerk had no problem giving me the rate I had reserved. All in all,
I was quite satisfied.
