Monte Carlo Room Upgrades

Jackpot! JayNCleveland Got A Room Upgrade

My boyfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to try to get an upgrade to a spa suite at the Monte Carlo. I slipped the clerk a $20 between my CC and my ID. I told him it was our anniversary and it was our first time in Vegas. He told us congrats and said he'd see what he could do. After conferring with his manager for a minute, he came back and upgraded us to a high floor strip view room. Not the spa suite, but a fun time regardless!!

Asked clerk if there were any complimentary room upgrades available as I handed him the $20 sandwich. Got a strip view room on the 25th floor. Very helpful clerk. Also got 2 for 1 buffet coupon.

I was next in line for him. It was a male and I thought he looked nice enough. I put a $20 in between my license and AX card and asked if they had any complimentary upgrades available. He looked and said no, then it got very complicated because I asked him to search for 2 rooms w/ adj. door. We ended up with 2 rooms // no adj. door and he "acted" as if he was giving me a great disc. by clacking away on his computer for like 20 minutes. He showed me his computer for the rate and it looked as though he was going to discount the rate he was showing me. I was with my 2 daughters. We ended up with 2 rooms at a normal price except it was going to go sky-hi on the weekend so the next morning I cancelled out the second room. He really didn't do anything special whatsoever, and from all the guests I spoke with, the Monte Carlo is NOT the place to ask for anything special. Either the larger rooms/suites are booked or they give them to "insiders" who have connections or pay mostly full price.

The young lady was very polite, but stated there were no complementary upgrades. She returned the $20 bill. I chose her because she just came up the front desk to work. I sandwiched the $20 between my credit card and ID and inquired with a smile whether a complimentary upgrade was available. I knew going in the Monte Carlo had a reputation for declining upgrade requests. It doesn't matter. The casino and the surrounding casinos aren't for me and I won't return. If you don't like pounding loud hip-hop and don't like user unfriendly comps, this isn't for you.

Tried $20 between the cards and didn't say anything about upgrades as the manager was lingering. She know to keep the money covered, didn't say much, but feverishly tried to find me something. The hotel was sold out for the whole weekend and she felt bad she couldn't get me a suite, but said I would have had one had the hotel not been sold out. She suggested I could wait till midnight and take my chances, but I was tired and said the best she could do for me was great. Got a high floor with view away from the construction. I asked for coupons but she said she couldn't. I would have given her the $20 for that!!! She handed me the money without me asking for it, but I have her a fiver for her efforts. Would have liked the coupons though.

No Dice For Tommy D...

Handed sandwich to a Latino male in his late 20's. Asked if any complimentary updgrades were available and that it was my 10th stay at this Resort (True). He said that the hotel is booked, and there is nothing he could do for me. He handed back my credit card, id, & $20.00. Room was in the 100 wing and was very dated (worn bedspread, smelled like cigarettes). Complained to front desk (different teller), room was changed to the 300 tower and was renovated - still deluxe.

Sandwiched the $20 between ID and CC, asking the lady "Wondering if you can get me a complimentary upgrade", she took the 20 and put it next to the keyboard and said "I'll see what I can do". After a little chat with her about the new Town Centre that they're building next door, she said she couldn't do the upgrade because it was full, she said she would if she could. But she gave us a strip view on the 28th floor instead, and gave the money back to me. So I guess it kinda did work.. it was a busy weekend afterall

No Dice For Albeesure...

I checked in at around 10:30 pm. The lobby seemed pretty slow. I made conversation with the lady at the desk and slipped her my CC and DL with the 20 in between. I asked if there were any comp room upgrades available. She said that they didn't do that anymore but she can try to get me the best room available. She put me on the 30th floor on the mountain view side for the first night and said that she could give me a strip view on the 30th floor in a room right across the hall from my first room for the next two nights. I said great and that it would do. She thanked me and gave me the keys and I was on my way. Don't know if I could have had the same luck without the 20. The room was a standard size room and the view was so so of the strip and the construction. The windows were pretty dirty.

No Dice For stunna503...

There were about 10 or so workers, and the lines for each werent that long. So i decided to look around and see who would give me the best chance at an upgrade. I decided to try the 20 dollar trick at this younger male. I had the $20 bill in between the cc and license, suckered up to him by asking how his day was going and so on..then, i asked if there were any nice rooms available. He said there was a room with a view that i could get, but i have to wait a day...so i would have a temp room for one night..i agreed... The first room was on the 27th floor, and had the view of the MGM/New York New York side of the strip (it wasnt too bad)..the next night (which was the better room) we had to move to the 17th floor. The view wasnt great at all. We had the view of the other side of the strip, but there were a lot of construction that blocked the view. Plus, the windows were VERY dirty! Also, they were doing construction downstairs in the casino and it stunk!..I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, and this would be the last hotel I stay at the next time i come back to vegas.
