Jackpot! Celine Got A Luxor Room Upgrade

 
 

We checked in around 4pm. Guy in his 30s checked us in, and when he saw the $20 sandwich, and asked for a complimentary upgrade for my boyfriend's birthday. He immediately acknowledged and put the sandwich below the counter so no one could see it. He said that he would see what he could do for us. He went somewhere in the back, and came back with a luxury tower suite upgrade for us. It was smoking room (only one left since it was a Saturday night, and rooms were filling up), but he said that we could get air fresheners if we liked--didn't need it because the smell of smoke was faint, and was only in the living room.

Jackpot! Liam Got A Luxor Room Upgrade

 
 

I approached the check-in desk at 10:30 am, and was called over by a middle-aged woman. I asked her (with a twenty in plain sight) if there were any rooms open at the time, and I was told that I would have to come back at 11 as they 'did not have a list of rooms available'.

I thought I'd failed miserably...I was wrong!

I returned at 11, and found a huge check-in line.

The same female check-in clerk saw I was in line, and waved me over to the 'check-out' line where she was working!

Obviously she knew I had a sandwich...but when I got to the desk I was told it wasn't necessary...she just couldn't do anything the first time because apparently there was a manager nearby the first time I tried to check in.

I gave her the sandwich and asked for a Pyramid Spa Suite, and after a minute she told me they were all sold out that night, then I asked for a Players Deluxe room, and she found one that was ready...and apparently there are only 40 of these in the entire resort, so I thought it would be a long shot!

The players deluxe room I received was a nice renovated room on a floor halfway up the East Tower with a HUGE plasma TV, and a jacuzzi in the bathroom...lovely!!!

Great for $60/night! ($50/night for 2 nights, plus the twenty in the sandwich)

Jackpot! Donna Taylor Got A Luxor Room Upgrade

 
 

We are fom the UK & we don't usually do stuff like this, was really nervous! Put $20 in between passports at check-in & asked for 'complimentary upgrade'. She said she would see what she could do & offered us tower room. Would have cost us approx $150 if we had pre booked this room prior to travelling to US with Virgin Holidays.

No Dice For Serenitynow at Luxor...

 
 

Arrived late at around 1130. Gave her the $20, she returned it saying she wasn't allowed to accept it - was appreciative though. She then proceeded to tell me that they were overbooked and all they had left was smoking rooms. She moved us for the our next to nights to a non-smoking room but no upgrades.

E-mail Luxor stating that it's my girlfriends 21 B-day and my 23 birthday. Ask in a email if there are any upgrades they could give to us, got a email back saying yes, we got upgraded to a Spa Suite going for $100 for Wend. and Thur. and $200 bucks more on the weekend. We book a room for $59.

Jackpot! RoachClipCharly Got A Luxor Room Upgrade

 
 

The Andrew Jacksonian got me a suite in the pyramid. But these are only suites because they have 2 rooms, a large bathroom and a wet bar. A high roller room at the Western would be comparable to this thing. Still, it worked and was worth an extra $20 so I could keep the passed out hookers in the ante room.

No Dice For Steven at Luxor...

 
 

Went to check in and the desk worker was not the nicest person in the world. She told me she was frustrated about something else and "wasn't in the mood" to make things better for us. Should have tipped me off as to how the rest of our stay at this place would go.

No Dice For Mike at Luxor...

 
 

hotel was busy, stayed during rodeo finals weekend, gave the $20 and asked about a complimentary upgrade, clerk said she couldn't but made sure we got a room close to the elevators (gave the $20 back). She seemed pleased I tried to tip her but I guess they were too booked.

No Dice For Heather at Luxor...

 
 

My boyfriend slipped the sandwich and she didn't even look at the $20.00 and looked for an upgrade anyways. Claimed there was none available and that we were already in the upgraded room. . . we reserved a tower deluxe and it wasn't deluxe at all for what we had to pay for it. The only thing she changed was a double to a king. Not really a change at all. No upgrade. We tried :-)

Good luck to the next!!!

Tried the $20 sandwich... but to no avail. The clerk had said they were fully booked this weekend so there were no other rooms.

No Dice For todd at Luxor...

 
 

She asked for my DL and I handed her the sandwich but before I could ask for complimentary upgrades, she took my ID & DL and slid the $20 back to me. She was the far right attendant, so that might've made it tough, but she also seemed like she wasn't having any of it. I just had success the day before at the Venetian, so I think the key thing is it being a younger attendant. Thanks so much for this site though you guys. It's awesome.

No Dice For Mack at Luxor...

 
 

I checked in 10:00 am Saturday. Sandwich a $20 between CC & License and asked about complimentary upgrade. Randy, I think that was his name, typed and said there were no upgrades available. DID NOT RETURN MY $20. I know your asked not to list names but I wanted to warn others. Randy was mid 20s with light brown hair. Very disappointed.

My boyfriend and me went to spend a weekend and decided to stay hear. We had herd about the 20 dollar tip and decided to try it. When we arrived we first got and old guy he was around 50 and my boyfriend tried it he looked around but said he couldn't help us and gave us our money back. When we went up to our room it was a mess!! So we went back down and this time we got a younger guy, my boyfriend decided to try it again and they guy looked around on the computer and said for an extra 20 he could get us the spa suit!! It was an offer we couldn't resist. We had only paid 120 a night for a regular room and we got upgraded to a 300 dollar or more a night room. It defenitly worked for us.

Jackpot! Mia Got A Luxor Room Upgrade

 
 

Came in exhausted from our flight with our bride and groom hats on (on our honeymoon obviously) and our online travel booking agent failed to submit the reservation to the hotel and there was no record we even reserved a room there. Since we had our itinerary printed they gave us a room. The girl didn't say anything just gave us our room key and we went to the top, it had two bathrooms, a living room, two couches, dining room, a kitchen all marble with a gold sink, separate bedroom with shower and separate bath with jetted tub and marble everywhere, soooooooooo nice!!!!
