Mirage Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Larry Got A Mirage Room Upgrade

2 for 2 at the Mirage on a Sunday afternoon 5:00ish. 2 different clerks. One male clerk and the other a young female. Both were very quick to upgrade, on the spot, a small(petit) suite to a large tower suite and a regular room to the 23rd floor pool side with a complementary bottle of champange sent to the room later.

Checked in on labor day. We got to the hotel at noon and they were slammed with people checking out after the holiday weekend so we waited until around 4PM to check in to help our odds of an upgrade. They were still very busy. Only young female clerks working - so we picked one and my husband went for it. We specifically asked if a suite was available. She said they were all sold out (which we know they weren't from the website which showed tons of suites available) but offered us a deluxe room, big bathroom, special elevator with a strip view. And some champagne showed up in our room later as well. We were pleased with how it went. Thanks for the great website!!!

Went up to the front desk and slipped the $20 with my license and asked for any compliemtary upgrades. She was unable to get us a suite bc they were full but she did upgrade us to the 23rd floor with a great view of the strip. She also provided us with line passes to the resturants at the Mirage and gave us 5 vip passes to JET nightclub. IMO it was a SUCCESS

No Dice For Joe at Mirage...

Hispanic female; i gave her the $20 with the ID and CC; she said "is this for me?". I said yes, and she said thanks. She tried to upsell me on upgrades to suites; I asked if any complimentary ones were available. She went in the backroom for several minutes and then came back and said there weren't any. She said she could offer me a pool view, which I didn't consider an upgrade. I asked for line passes to the buffet; she forgot to give them to me with my room keys, and I had to ask again.

Checked in late one night. Found a young female clerk with an empty desk next to her. I'm sure she had done this before because the $20 disappeared in a hurry. After a minute or two on the phone we got a great room with a wonderful view.

The place was packed, so I didn't think there would be anything available. The clerk explained that there were no suites available (which I think meant he would have put me in one if possible), but he would put me in a low-traffic area room w/ a nice view. The view was of the strip and the volcano, which was nice.

Also, we did not have to wait on our room to be ready, as our colleagues did, and they gave us a free bottle of champagne on the first night.

I placed my $20 between my cc and DL and handed to the clerk. She immediately began looking up things on her computer. She asked me if I would like a volcano or pool view? I told her pool view. She then said that we were on the 26th floor with a private elevator in a room that was worth $50 a night more. When we went to our room, it was about the same of the standard room except for the pool view and the bathroom was much larger. As a matter of fact all the shampoo's, lotions, etc... were double the size than the ones in the regular rooms. Well worth my $20 at check-in. Definitely would do it again!! FYI...I checked in at 11:30 a.m.

This is the second year in a row the trick has worked. This time we checked in two rooms and slipped her a $50 asked for delux non-smoking rooms in the private elevator bank (24th-25th floor). It took her about 10 mins and we had to wait 2 hours to get into our rooms but got exactly what we wanted. Two ajoining rooms with a view of the strip and the volcano (pool view last year), non-smoking and jacuzzi tub. Well worth the $20. She also gave us a bunch of line passes that came in handy on more than one occasion. The trip was a blast and we all left with more money than we started with. It sure is nice to bring some of that west coast money back east. You can see a small picture shot out of our room window on my home page about half way down: theqoz

Checked in with a clerk located at the end of check-in line. As directed, I just sandwiched the folded $20 between my passport and credit card and put it on the counter, but without saying anything. She noticed it right away and, like a pro, scooped everything up immediately. She asked if the $20 was for her and I said "yes, of course." She continued typing and we engaged in a friendly conversation about how it was my husband's first time in Vegas, etc. She handed us our room cards and said she upgraded us to a Deluxe Suite, etc, on a private floor. My husband's parents tried the same trick a few days later at the same hotel and it also worked. But, when they handed their credit card, $20, and passports, they asked if it was possible to be near us. It worked...they received same room as us, on the same private floor, but they also received full strip/volcano view. I would definitely recommend trying this. I was a little hesitant, because the hotel was sold-out the night we checked in and we were staying for 6 nights. However, like most people have said here, it's only $20 and it's Vegas! Have fun with it!

Due to staying for nine nights I decided to use $50 instead of $20. Placed $50 between ID and credit card and asked ‘do you have any free upgrades’, the check in clerk ased for my ID, pocketed the $ and immediately gave us a Jacuzzi room on the 25th floor overlooking both the pool and strip served by a ‘private’ elevator that required the room key to operate. Didn’t get a suite, but still delighted with the upgrade.
