Jackpot! Daniel Got A Mirage Room Upgrade
|
|
| |
|
I tucked the $20 bill in between my ID and credit card. The receptionist assisting me simply said "Thank you" and I did not have to utter another word.
She informed me that I was originally assigned a standard room on the 5th floor but that she would try to accomodate me elsewhere. After a few minutes, she assigned me to a room with a view of the Strip AND the pool on the 21st floor. She was such a sweetheart about it that she even handed the $20 back.
The room was great, and a few minutes later the bellman arrived with my luggage and some complimentary amenities--Gouda Cheese & Crackers, Cherry Chocolates, and Shortbread Cookies all at no expense!
Therefore, I deem this experience a GREAT SUCCESS and I look forward to the next time I use the $20 tip!

Jackpot! Staci Got A Mirage Room Upgrade

I slipped a $20 between my ID and cc. He had the cash in his pocket before I could blink. He immediately asked if we were celebrating something special (we were). Even though our room was already comped he upgraded us to the 24th floor room with a private elevator/jacuzzi tub/strip and volcano view. He gave us 3 line passes, and there was champagne in our room that night. Worked like a charm!!!

I reserved a regular Deluxe Room. I checked in around 8pm, pulled out a sandwich and asked if they have any complementary upgrades, also mentioned that I'm getting married tomorrow. The lady offered me a Tower Deluxe Room on the 25th floor (last floor), she also asked if I prefer Strip View or pool view on the 25th Floor (last floor). Then she said I will also send a complementary bottle of Champaign next day. I love it 

Jackpot! Larry & Merle Got A Mirage Room Upgrade
|
|
| |
|
2 for 2!! We arrived around 4:30 on Sunday PM. One an Invited guest and the other not. I, the invited guest, went to check in 1st. 4 young female desk clerks at the Invited guest check-in. She immediately saw the $20, set it to the side, and became the most charming desk clerk I've ever had. Upgraded to a Tower Suite on the "private" 24th floor. No questions asked. She told me that invited guests of the casino aren't to receive upgrades from their promotional or comped room rates but she was going to do it for me anyway. Larry then went to the "regular" check-in line and did the $20 and asked for a room on the 24th floor where his friends were just booked. He had a young Asian man for a clerk. His room was reserved for the 4th floor(lousy, at best). He had to work for it a little bit but finally got upgraded to the 25th floor, Tower suite also. Lastly, we've done this before and been successful as well at the Mirage. PS. The rooms were gorgeous with grand views, private elevator, robes, chocolates in the PM. The best $5 a day money can buy in Vegas, for sure.

It was a Friday around 11:30 AM. We really wanted to get upgraded to a suite since we had 2 extra people joining us unexpectedly. Since it was a 3 day stay, early in the day, a weekend, and a suite we were looking for, we decided to go woth $50. She took the cards and money right off the counter and clicked away, made 2 phone calls, and there we were upgraded to the 24th floor. One of the few rooms with 2 queen beds. She said they never have suites available on the weekends. We were thrilled. Room was a little bigger and the double sinks really helped. Private elevator was great. Can't wait to do it again!

Slipped the $20 in with my license and credit card... I was a bit nervous about it cause I've never done anything like this. I then asked if they had any complimentary upgrades and she said No. But I don't know if she just hadn't seen the $20? I said something about it being my birthday celebration (birthday was 4 days prior) and she said she'd take a look (she put the $20 on top of the keyboard. After moment she said she could put us in a tower room! Then, later that night, we got a free bottle of champagne in our room :). Very nice indeed. Thanks to everyone for their tips on here.

Asked the nice girl behind the check-in if they had any rooms on the 24th or 25th floor. She said that she had a strip view room on the 24th which was usually $50 extra a night. I said that would be perfect and handed her my passport and $20 sticking out of the top. She smiled, said thank you very much and there would be no charge. I even got my free Champagne and chocolates every night.

Arrived around 11pm ready to make my first bet! Considering it was for a 3 night stay during the CES, I though I'd better up the ante to a c-note. Lovely young lady working the desk and we chatted about the recent snowfall and how the kids reacted to it. A quick call to the casino host and she offered me Mirage Suite on Penthouse E level. Nice digs! I also asked about the gym for a workout, and she added two spa passes to the mix, as well as a couple of line passes for the restaurant. I didn't use the buffet passes, but the room upgrade & spa passes were worth about $450. Not a bad return on investment! The Mirage is still a favorite spot, and right in the center of the strip. If you're into the club scene, don't miss Jet.

We had a standard room booked. I slipped the $20 between my ID and the Credit Card and asked for an upgrade. She put us in a Premium View Room on 20th floor with a view of the Volcano and the Strip. The friends we were with did not do the $20 trick, and they were put in a room on the 2nd floor. I will definitely try this again!

No Dice For Business Travler at Mirage...

When I checked in I did the sandwich, the girl took the $20, then went in the back. She offered me a tower room for $50 a night extra, I declined and she took the $ anyways. There were 4 girls doing check-in, and all but mine had nametags that said they were in training.
When I got to the room, It was on the 3rd floor overlooking a roof. I called the manager and told her what happened, she apologized and said they can't take tips for upgrades, but moved me to a 17th floor room with a great view. Next time I will show the $20, but not part with it till I get the upgrade. It was kinda fun though, will do next time.

No Dice For don mayer at Mirage...

I sandwiched a 100.00 bill between my credit card and license, and asked the clerk if she could upgrade us. we were checking in around 1230 in the afternoon. the young lady in her 20-s saw it immediately and said "we do not do that here". I replied.."did something change recently in your policy?" to which she replied, "we have never done this here". So i felt kind of stupid because after reading all of the successes on this site, i was pretty sure i would get an upgrade tipping a C NOTE.

Checked in in the early afternoon on a Friday. Not busy. Used the $20 between the ID's and requested something on the 24th or 25th floor. Clerk acted surprised that they had something and got the keys right away. Note: Most rooms on the deluxe floors are one bed, which didn't work for me cause it was a guys trip. Went back and asked if any with two beds were available and was able to get one, althouh they said there were only 2 on each floor.

checked in at around 2:30ish, handed the sandwich over and he started typing away looking for an upgrade. he was kinda nervous doing it, it seemed. after 5 minutes he offered me a room on the 10th floor to which i asked if there was anything on the 24th or 25th floor. after another 5 minutes he found one on the 24th floor. i asked for 4 room keys and got it with no problem. no champagne sent up to room though. my friend got a better clerk (she was a young blonde)and got the same room but it had a view of the pool, jacuzzi and double sinks. we also got a private elevator that goes to the 24th or 25th floor which is huge; no waiting at all.

Checked in with a Male clerk who understood and immediately accepted the $20 tip. Very smoothly. When I asked about getting a room on the 25th floor he responded that it shouldn't be a problem. He offered me a room with 1 king bed, but I needed two queen beds as I was traveling with a college buddy (we're close, but not that close) The clerk could not get me a room on that floor with 2 queens. So I had to decline the offered upgrade. Still wanting to get something for the accepted $20, I asked about the spa. The clerk gave me two passes to the fitness center/spa worth $25 each, so a $50 value for the $20 investment. Used both passes - spa was fantastic.
