Saved:  $not sure. didn't care. felt like a king Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Pyramid Suite  from  Unsure 

I booked 2 rooms & asked for free buffets and was given 4. Checked in with the $20 & asked if upgrades were available. We were given strip view suites for $35 additional/night. I told her we were there for 2 birthdays & was told to see her Wednesday & she would comp 5 more buffets. I could not find her on Wednesday, so I bought 5 all day buffets & mentioned this at check-out & they took them off my bill! The Craps table was ROCKIN! Go there for the late shift. Rent a car for the Hoover dam & Grand Canyon. Uber to Freemont St!!! WILD!

I had reserved a one night stay in a Pyramid room with two queen beds on the Mlife website for my dad and I, celebrating his birthday. We checked in on Saturday at 11:30 am, having paid extra for an early check in and late check out. I had to take the first clerk available, a shorter woman in her mid 20s. She asked if i was checking out, and I let her know I paid for an early check in. I handed her my ID and CC. Instead of hiding the $50, I placed it on the counter and said “This is for you. I’d really appreciate anything you can do for us.” She thanked me for the tip, and said that she was going to upgrade me to a renovated tower room with two queen beds, and also give us two comped buffets. She was helpful and gave us a map of the property. She put a note guaranteeing our late check out and comped dinner on file and thanked me again for the tip. The Luxor dinner buffet was a little gross, I’m glad that it was comped.

Arrived at 11:30pm – fairly late on Monday April 8th. $20 trick did it. The lady knew exactly what I was looking for – she took the bill and said “i’ll See what I can do”. She then gave a complementary upgrade from pyramid to tower deluxe. Can’t say it’s that nice, but still better than Pyramid.

The check in line was busy so there was no particular clerk I could pick, I was just the next in line. Although I did not visit Vegas for the first time, I never used the complementary tactics to get an upgrade. I did set up the passport / $20 / credit card sandwich but when he only asked for my ID the sandwich collapsed and was spread all over the counter. Also the conversation with the clerk went different then I rehearsed before in my head, actually there was not much of a conversation but I guess he understood the meaning. He upgraded us from a Pyramid Queen Room to a Tower Premium Queen Room: Newly remodeled. I know this is a $15 a night upgrade because I got an email a few days earlier if I was interested in these rooms. So for 4 nights that saved me $60. He also added a free buffet for 2 and that saved us another 50.
So even if your a bit clumsy and are not that skilled with smooth talking your way in a good deal, there is a good chance the trick will work 😊

Side not, next to me was a man who also took the upgrade, but payed for it. I spoke to him the other day and he said that these newly remodelled rooms where really good value, as the older pyramid rooms are really worn down (he stayed there last year). So if you visit the Luxor for a few days, at least go for this upgrade to make your stay much more pleasant. And for only $20 more, this upgrade is worth even more then the $110 saved.

Tipped:  $50 Upgraded to  Pyramid Deluxe  from  Pyramid Deluxe 

my dad and I checked in on Friday 11/22 at 11am, having paid for an early check in. There was a long line, so I had no choice of clerk. The clerk was a bald man in his 20s or early 30s. I smiled and greeted him. I didn’t use a sandwich, I put down 50 bucks and said “This is for you, anything you can do for us I’d really appreciate”. The clerk wasn’t thrilled, and said “I’m not gonna lie to you man, I dont have anything”. I had to convince him that I considered it a gratuity and that I wanted him to have the money anyway.
He told me that instead of the pyramid room on the second floor, he could put me in a premium pyramid room on the 22nd floor, which I accepted. Looking at the website, there’s only like a $6 difference in cost. I’d have been better off keeping my $50 for the craps tables.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Pyramid Deluxe  from  Pyramid Deluxe 

Walked up to the desk with my wife and her Happy Birthday Shirt. Sandwiched my 20.00 with my Id and card. It was early their was not a lot of people we got a younger Asian lady that checked us in first told us there were not any rooms but looked at the room type we booked and she found a room. She took my id and card and put the 20 back on the counter I asked about upgrades and she said not for free and was actually I felt kinda rude because normally when we come to Vegas for a special occasion they normally do something to make us feel special.

We didn’t target anybody because it was very busy, did early check in at 1pm. I put the $20 in between my cc and ID and asked him if there were any complimentary upgrades available. He just said “I’ll see what I can do.” After talking and making small talk he also said he was going to give us a $75 food credit and free parking! I think we did really good!

Didn’t target a clerk, as it was Monday at noon, not too busy and it seemed like all would upgrade.

We sandwiches the 20$ between passport and credit card and asked if there was anything she could do for our last night in Vegas. She offered buffet and pyramid suite. I asked if it was possible to have the tower suite instead, she said that none were ready right now to comp. I accepted as buffet plus suite seemed good.

We booked 3 nights in Feb 2019, it was our first Vegas trip together as a couple. My boyfriend told me about this $20 trick and I thought he was crazy to actually do it at first, but he thoroughly did his research. We waited in line for about 20 mins (around noon) and were called over by a male employee with a cheerful smile, so we were feeling pretty good. Sandwiched the bill between the cards and handed it to him, my boyfriend asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available, you know the deal. He set it off to the side and got right to it. We originally booked the most basic room but he upgraded us to a newly remodeled tower room with a soaking tub (not jetted) and a strip view- this upgrade is typically an extra $20 A NIGHT! The tower is quite luxurious and looks great with the remodel. The staff member said “thanks for the tip!” after some small talk and sent us on our way to the elevator. Overall we were extremely happy with our experience and felt like total ballers.

I had the money tightly snug in between my credit card and ID. When I gave it to clerk he knew exactly what was up. Immediately tucked it behind his sleeve and began typing away. I got moved from a pyramid room to a Premium West end tower room. Worked like a charm.
