Mentioned that I get an upgrade with my Hhonors Gold Memembership and could something beyond that be available. The hotel also sent up a very nice gift basket with their compliments.

No Dice For Liz at Las Vegas Hilton...

Clerk said he couldn't upgrade because management was cracking down and he would get busted. Took the 20 dollars and no upgrade. Told him it was my 30th B-Day and he confirmed it was and still didn't do it. What a dick! He did say if we would have checked in later we might have had a chance.

Went in on a busy weekend. I called the hotel earilier and found out its totally sold out but still decided to give a try. I asked if there's any complimentary upgrade with the $20 sandwich in between my HHonor card & my CC. She saw it and immediately asked me which view do I like and high/low floors etc. I got the new renovated north tower room which I heard the FD next to me was trying to sell it to this guy for $50! save me $30 bucks at least!

I checked in at the VIP line (like I usually do at that hotel.) I placed a folded $20 bill behind my drivers license. I got a big "thank you!" when I handed it to the clerk. I then asked if there were any free room upgrades available. She said she'd check. After doing some searching, she got me the upgrade list above. She said that this upgrade was usually reserved for "gold" card (Hilton HHonors) holders. I only have a silver card.

I folded a $20 and placed in between my id and card as suggested. I asked the lady nicely if there were any rooms available. She did not notice the $20 and quickly said we can upgrade you to the 14th floor.
I asked again if there was anything else. She mentioned to me about the panaromic view room with plasma tv and refridgerator for an extra $50 a night.
I sadly agreed. She started processing the room change and finally noticed the money and was like, "oh I didn't see this." I asked her again if that was the best she can do and she said sorry yes.
When I got back home, I found out no $ was charged to my card. SCORE!

No Dice For J.R. Cagle at Las Vegas Hilton...
|

I asked if I could get an upgrade and put $20 out. The front desk guy went back into another room and I don't know exactly what he did but when he came back he put me in one of the new north tower rooms with the flat screen tv. I didn't know if this was an upgrade or not since it's not a suite, even though it was a new room. I ended up taking the $20 back, as I wasn't sure if this constituted an upgrade or not. I honestly wasn't sure if I should have given it to him or not. Anyway, I went up and checked out the room. It was nice and I felt kind of bad so I went back down and gave him $10. For all I know I would have gotten the same room without dangling the $20 out there. I was not anticipating the situation happening the way it did.

Husband gave the clerk our Hilton Honors # written on a piece of paper (we don't have our card yet - was able to upgrade to Gold status using code on HHonors thread), ID, and credit card. $20 was between the id and credit card. She asked if we were diamond and we said gold. At about the time we responded with Gold she said "Ohhh". She had just seen the $20. At that point my husband asked if there were any complimentary upgrades. She started typing and said she had a premium suite and showed us a picture. We said that would be great. However, I will say it isn't really a suite more of just a really nice room. The bed was fantastic and flat tv was great.

Time: around 8PM
Price of Reservation: $140+tax (For 4 days 3 nights + $25 dining credit + 2 spa access + 2 cocktails)
Story:
As you can probably read from few websites, the trick almost 100% works in LV Hilton. I got upgraded to business suite with TWO double-door entrance to the room, TWO bathrooms, one queen size bed, sofa, super large room (6 times larger than their deluxe room), business desk, and a mini bar with fridge. The suite is located on the EAST TOWER of the hotel. I was happy with the suite but prefer a newer room, king size bed, and a plasma TV. So I came down to the check-in counter and asked for a room change to NORTH or CENTRAL tower (I read somewhere that the North tower just got renovated). I finally got a deluxe room (not a suite) in the north tower. It was no Wynn-class room but I was happy. I would come back again in the future if they have good price like that.

Some recommendations:
* Apply for Hilton HHonor card free from Hilton website. You can present this card when you check in and put the $20 in between HHonor card and your credit card. It does not matter if you don't have any points in that card. It is only for showing that you are Hilton member.
* The shimmer cabaret at Hilton does have free show (I think daily) from 10PM to 1:30AM. I didn't know about this until the last night. You only need to buy 1 drink inside. But you can also just watch it standing from outside free.
In conclusion about LV Hilton:
I was super happy with Hilton, especially with the $250 jackpot that I won on 1 cent slot machine. ^_^

No Dice For Nick at Las Vegas Hilton...

Reserved a Deluxe King, got there at about 10pm, checked in with the $20 in plain sight and asked if any comp upgrades were available. She pulled out a big picture of what appeared to be my Deluxe King and said it was $50 extra a night. Told her that's what I reserved and she said they were out of them. I'm like, wait a second, you tell me you're out of them but I can upgrade to my room I reserved for $50??? What a bitch. She puts me in 2 queen bed room. I go to the room, its pretty crapy. Call down and talk to someone else and say I'm unhappy, and they magically now have a king room available. It's a "classic" king (read: old) but I take it. That's the last time I stay at the Hilton

Checked in 4 rooms at the LV Hilton this past Monday.
Placed $40 behind my CC card, liscense, etc.
Was offered only a better view with a high floor, and was asked if I "wanted change" for the $40. I took $20 back.

I placed my ID, CC, and $20 on the counter, mentioned I was here celebrating my birthday and asked if there were any complementary room upgrades available; she seemed like she knew the drill. Also, returning to our room that night we found a gift basket (with fruits and nuts) with a birthday card on the counter of the mini-bar.

I folded a $20 under my Hilton HHonors card, passed it to the sweet young lady behind the counter and asked if any free upgrades were available. She looked at my bottom-rung blue Hilton card, started mumbling "I don't...", then picked up the card and saw the naked $20 on the counter. She all but said "oops", retrieved the $20, and asked "What would you like?" I scored a spacious mini-suite with a whirlpool bath, fridge (she tried to send me a second), and a great view of the strip, all for four nights.

We checked in for 2 nights, and when asked for credit card, I slipped a $20 with it and told the clerk that this visit was for my 40th birthday (true).
We got upgraded to a mini-suite, which the clerk said was used a lot for parties and large groups, so I consider the $20 trick a success.
Footnote: Unfortunately, the room decor was really dated and the bed was horribly uncomfortable! We ended up running back downstairs and getting a very nice king room with strip view that had clearly just been remodelled!

It was an extremely busy weekend in Las Vegas with the National Finals Rodeo being in town. All hotels were at prime rate and then some. The room I booked was $159 (got for $56).
I checked in roughly at 7pm and waited in line for the next available host. The next host was a younger asian lady. I slightly fanned the sandwich as I handed it to her, while asking if any complimentary room upgrades were available.
As she smirked she said "absolutely" and started typing away. Within moments she had secured a North Tower Grand Room with an amazing view!
I inquired about a Suite, but she informed me they were all booked out. I knew this was the case as I had confirmed it online before going, but it didn't hurt to try!
This was my first time using the sandwich in Vegas and I fully intend to use it as often as I stay!
