Palazzo Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Mr. Mojorisen Got A Palazzo Room Upgrade

Although I sandwiched two $10 Bills between my credit card and drivers license the front desk clerk handed my tip back to me after lining me up with a strip-view room above the 40th floor. I asked him if he could accept my tip, and he said something about if I gave it to him directly so I handed it back to him and he thanked me for it.

Checked in quite late(about 9:30 pm), there was no line up, as it was Monday evening.
I slipped the clerk 20.00 and kindly asked if they had any complimentary upgrades, preferably a larger room, and mentioned i would prefer a strip view too, but mostly was more concerned about getting the larger, more expensive room such as fortuna or conciege bella, she offered the Bella View which is worth 40.00 a night more, since i was staying there for 4 nights i got 160.00 value for 20.00 more, it was also on a higher floor (31st?) so i am content with it although i would have loved the bigger room more.

There was a T-Mobile Event that was taking up many of the rooms and she had to search for a high floor with strip view that I wanted. She very adeptly kept the $20 out of sight and kept the registration process going quickly.

He played coy with me and asked if I needed change. Immediately after getting the tip he asked if I was celebrating a special occasion. Why yes I am! I didn't press for a different type of suite, the standard fit my needs well.

Thanks to this forum, I did something that I have never done before. And on top of that, this is our 1st time in VEGAS, so I was kinda nervous at the beginning. But I was asking myself, I am giving money to ppl, why would I be nervious....checked in the hotel a little later then I thought, around 4pm. I was send to 1 of the clerk, good looking clerk, Paris Hilton look alike clerk. Told her it is our 5th year anniversary romantic getaway, she was totally friend. Handed her the driver licence, the "sandwich" and the credit card. I was aiming for the "Siena Suite" so the extra $$$ is no big deal. She placed the "sandwich" down and listen to what I want for "complimentry upgrade"....I was saying I heard that Siena room is one hell of a room...she said she will see what can she do. She then talked to the manager and back like 3-4 minutes later....told me it will be $100 extra per night. So obviously the $50 does not work for Siena - a $500 a night room. After some talking back and forth, she offered us the Palazzo Luxury King with the balcony/fireplace but no strip view due to the location of the balcony room (back of the building),a bottle of Champaign and late checkout (2pm)....but I was not satisfied and told her I want something better..........after like 25 minutes of talking back and forth again and plenty of her talking to the front desk manager, finally they offered a strip view, a late checkout, a champaign, and the Palazzo "Fortuna" King room....it was a $400+ a night room, bigger bed area in an angle. Each floor has only 2 Palazzo Fortuna King units (according from the fire exit plan behind the room door).........I think that is the best that we can do for the 1st timer in Vegas and I accepted the offer.

To cut a very long story short, tried to check in around 12.30 on a Sunday afternoon, but there was no smoking suite available. 4 hours and several visits to reception later and they still didn't have a single smoking room available in a hotel with 3000 rooms.

We finally accepted a non-smoking room under duress as we had a show that night and said that we hoped it would be a good room for the inconvenience and because it was my birthday next day.

We were allocated a room on the 49th floor and when we got there we were delighted to find we had been upgrade to a Fortuna Suite!! A massive 980 sq ft and it was simply gorgeous.

The lady was exceptional and extremely nice. All I asked for was an upgrade to a view as this was my first attempt...it seemed like she would've done whatever I asked. Also the rooms at Palazzo are outstanding. Highly recommended, extremely classy.

Made small talk with front desk clerk from Delaware (I'm from Maryland)...hotel wasn't sold out and she gave me a much better room without even noticing the $20 bill. Once she noticed it, she was surprised to see it...so I could've gotten the better room for no tip. It was worth the money as I was there 3 nights.

Booked Via Priceline

There was quite a line when we checked in, so it was a luck of the draw on the clerk i got. I slipped her a $50 and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She said she will see what there is, after she did a double take to see it was a $50. She hooked us up with Bella suite on the 40th floor. I asked if they had a workout room and she said they did but it was $40 a day. She then looked in her personal folder and gave us 2 coupons. My wife said it was worth every bit, even if we had to pay. We also got $50 slot play, 4 drinks at Lavo ($48 value) 4 comp entry at Lavo ($80 value) and $25 off at the mexican place. My friend checked in and didn't get anything and he tried to slip them $60. The room was Awesome! FYI. We paid $125 a night on Priceline.
