Had discounted rates at $99/night on weekends and had reserved a king suite. Handed with the sandwich and asked if i can get a room with a view. I then asked for 2 beds. “No Problem” he said. The desk was busy and people on both sides of us could hear our conversation. After a few minutes he told me the different rooms they had available and pretty much let me choose. Got a nice view of both Palazzo and Venetian pools on the 40th floor near the north end of the building.
We went to Vegas for our 10 year Anniversary and booked the flight and hotel through Allegiant Air. Our flight arrived at 9:00 p.m. so we didn’t get checked in 10:30 p.m.. Our front desk agent looked nice, so we slipped her $20 between the credit card and drivers license (aka the Vegas sandwich) told her it was our anniversary and asked if they had any complimentary upgrades. She typed on her computer and then said she would need to talk to the manager. She disappeared into a back room and when she came out we were sure it was a no. But to our surprise she said they did have an upgrade available and it was 2 steps up from the regular suite. It was AMAZING, it even had its own exercise room! Too bad I didn’t pack my workout gear.
She asked if we needed change for the $20.00 and we said no and gave her an extra $10.00. Definitely worth it!
Note: There was a group of couples in line behind us during check in that were loud, drunk and obnoxious. They also asked for an upgrade and were denied. It’s not rocket science, if you want an upgrade be polite and ask nicely, don’t be a jerk.
Checked in about 9 pm on Thursday night. Handed the sandwich over and the clerk asked if I wanted change. I said “no, is there anything you could do to make our stay more comfortable?” Worked like a charm, great strip view on the 42nd floor at the very end of the hall on the north end of the hotel.
This was my 2nd attempt at the tip. My first time was also a success at the Bellagio. I was not able to choose the front desk clerk, there was a kind host directing check-in lineup. I was lucky enough to get a young female to help with my upgrade. Saved $50/night by simply asking, “Do you have any complimentary upgrades?”, and she left for about 5 mins to get approval from the manager.
Worked well. At first, the checkin clerk declined the tip as there were ample people around. We kept the cash close by and when others moved, she took the sandwich
Received offer in the mail for “2-4 complimentary suite nights” at Venetian or Palazzo on “select value days.” Couldn’t believe this, as I am not a high-roller and only gave the V and the P brief gambling business the past two years, with small bets. Booked the comped suite for four nights starting on a Monday. Arrived, went to “Invited Guest Check-in.” I was worried that I was two hours early before official check-in time (3pm). I am male, the clerk was female, approx. my age. I flirted a little by, complimenting her on her necklace, and presented DL, CC, and the $20 along with my reservation information. I asked for a room on a higher floor. She gave me a view on the 41st floor and I got early check-in! Well worth it!
10.30am Check in, the $20 was appreciated, it not only got us in very early, but a fantastic strip view 🙂
Booked 2 Bella Non View suites, 3 guests per suite. Put the $50 between the DL and CC. Before I could say anything the clerk slid the bill into his pocket and said “I assume you are looking for two nice view suites”. I said yes please. He asked if the 41st floor overlooking TI would do. I said yes. I asked for and also got two comped fridges.
I did the more subtle approach. I wanted to check in at 10:30am when the check in time is suppose to be 3pm. He asked me for my CC and DL and looked for a room. He told me there are no standard rooms available at this time but for 45 dollars I can upgrade to an available room with a view of the strip. I declined. As he returned my cc and DL, I kept my wallet open and asked him when does he think there is a room available. He caught my subtle hint and did some typing. He then excused himself to talk to the manager. A moment later, he came back and told me he got me a room on the 42nd floor. Excited I am. I gave him a twenty for his trouble. The view was awesome. I would do it again and again.
