Jackpot! Mark Got A Room Upgrade

 
 

There was a young female clerk laughing with someone else while checking in, so I went to her. Gaver her the $20 sandwich and asked for a complimentary upgrade. After some small talk, I told her it was an early anniversary trip (this is January, anniversary in April). She upgraded me to the Eiffel tower and pool view.

Checked in at the Diamond Lounge. Was comped 5 nites in a standard, asked for a Prem Red room & was given it for no extra charge.
Tried a few days later to upgrade to a LaMans Suite & was told I didn't have enough points! HUH??
My suggestion (& I've learned this from experiance), if the front desk is NOT crowded, go there to check in even if you are diamond...your chances off getting in a suite are about 80%.

Check-in fairly busy, next clerk available was taken. Checked in around 6.00pm. Had 2 standard rooms booked on a prepaid flight/hotel package deal - the $20 (done per room) trick worked - got 14th floor (non-p!) rooms with a full Tower/Pool view, with strip and Bellagio Fountains behind. 14th Floor is the first one with arched windows - not sure if these rooms are different from any other floor though.....

Stood in line at Paris at about 10:00pm to check in. It was a slow week night in Vegas, but the same night the Aria was opening. I was motioned over to the check-in clerk manning the "Diamond Club" Registration area. I arrived and fanned the sandwich with the strategically placed $20, so she could see it as I gave it too her and asked if she had any complimentary upgrades available. After a bit of chit-chat, she gave me my room keys and off I went. A listed $75 per night upgrade for a $20 sandwich. Not a bad deal! Looking forward to doing this again!

We checked in late (around 10 p.m.) on a Thursday night. When handing the clerk the $20 sandwich, I said, "If you have any complimentary suite upgrades, we'd really appreciate anything you can do." She began searching and said the only thing she could find was a smoking room. We said that would be OK and she gave us the keys to 3164P. The double doors had a metal plaque designating the room as a Lyons Suite. I'm not sure exactly how large it was, but I'm guessing around 1,200 square feet. It had two bathrooms, two TVs, wet bar, bedroom, living room and dining room. The three-night upgrade was well worth the $20 tip.

I get to Vegas early on Thursday and we go straight to the hotel to check in. We get to Paris around 9am and get in line to check in. I see three older women and one younger girl with managers around her so I was thinking my chances are very slim. One of the older ladies calls me over and before I can even try she tells me check in is at 4 but if I come back around noon they may have something open. We had friends staying over at the Flamingo and decided to drop our luggage off at the bell hop and head to the pool over there. First, Flamingo's pool is stellar, the women there are top notch and crazy to boot. By 12:30 I had had enough drinks to float back to the Paris hotel to check in. I was so drunk I decided to ask for everything I could think of. I wanted to keep a Red Room because I knew they were recently renovated and clean so I just asked for one with a nice view. Then I ask for free internet connection ($15 a day) but no dice on that one so I try to get some free passes to the gym (yes I had to ask, they charge $25 to go to the gym PER DAY) no dice there, I guess they love fat people running around the casino (at least I will fit in). Last but not least I wanted a late checkout and she gave me that one. So all in all I get an upgraded view and a late checkout for $20. After I sober up I start to think about it and I didn’t get as good of a deal as some others but hell for $20 I will take it.

No Dice For Tony...

 
 

I got in around 2pm on a Wednesday. Handed the twenty dollars with passport and credit card. The bill fell out as the receptionist took the pile from me. And immediately asked what it was for. I replied was for her and was wondering if there were any free upgrades. Before I had even finished speaking she went on the say how the were no free upgrades and listed to me the various prices for possible upgrades. She handed the bill back to me and booked my standard room.

Checked in yesterday for three nights around 5:30 pm. It was pretty busy and there was about 8 female clerks checking people in. Then the male manager started checking people in too. I didn't really have a choice of clerk but got a female clerk on the very end of all the others. I walked up with a smile and friendly greeting and she did the same.back. She ask for my name along with my credit card and ID. I gave her the sandwich which she saw right away and I asked if she had and complimentary room upgrades available. She seemed pleased and took the sandwich. She said she wasn't sure if she had anything and said they can't always do it, but she would look. She typed for a minute or two and said she could move me up to a premium room on the 23rd floor with a nice view. I said that would be great and I finished checking in. Our room has a great view of the Bellagio fountains, Eiffel Tower, and pool. The upgraded room usually goes for and extra $40 per night.

I was nervous to do this myself ( my boyfriend wasn't with me) but I thought what the hell. I walked up to a pleasant looking clerk and realized I hadn't sandwiched my $20 bill inbetween my licence and passport so I made small talk about the weather and discreetly dropped my $20 in front of her and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She said she would check and with a smile on her face asked if a view of the Bellagio fountains and the Eiffel Tower would be all right. I said that sounded great and thanked her. She said "no problem". Wow..Great room..My boyfriend couldn't believe I did it!! Well worth the $20 !!

I arrived late around 10:30pm and I was the only person at check in. There were two clerks one of which was being trained. They called us up and we acted like we didn't hear and we went to a clerk that was by herself. When she asked for a CC and and ID I slipped her the sandwich and she immediately started typing into her computer and gave us the Red Room on the 29th floor

Checked in on a Sunday afternoon at about 1:00pm.We had reserved a comped room for 5 nights so were really worried about what we might get(you get what you pay for?). There was a fairly short line that moved pretty quickly. As my wife and I stood in line, we observed each of the front desk clerks and noticed what appeared to be a manager standing behind two clerks on the far left of the front desk. Luckily we just missed being motioned over to the manager's side of the counter. We were assisted by a nice young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties. With a $20 bill placed between my credit card and license, I asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. The clerk said "let me see" and within seconds handed our keys and said "I think you'll like it, it's very nice." We thought the room was very nice for $20 for 5 days. The room was a "P" room which was at the very end of the hallway and featured two floor to ceiling windows one looking overlooking the pool, strip, and Eiffel tower and the other overlooking the Bellagio fountains and strip. I think the trick to the "trick" is simply being nice and sincere. Good luck!!

Checked into Paris around 4-5pm on Monday, and it was packed. I read this website before I went, so my gf and I wanted to try it out. As i am not much of a talker, I said hello to a male clerk and gave the sandwich and asked if there were any "complementary upgrades." He didn't smile but said he will look, and quickly typed about 30 seconds and just gave the corner "p" room on the 8th floor facing the strip (pool, tower and Bellagio fountain were all viewable). So I guess it was an upgrade as I peeked into the regular rooms on my floor when the maids were cleaning them and my room was much more spacious. I had a great time, only thing I wanted so something higher than the 8th, but still great views.

Checked in late Sat. night at Ballys. The wait took forever as there were only two employees. Had booked the cheapest room and was hoping to get upgraded so tried the tip. After looking was told we were being upgraded to thier sister hotel Paris. Figured this in itself was a huge upgrade so didn't try to get another upgrade but was given one anyway. Our room was on the 27th floor with a view of the Bellagio Fountains and Eiffel Tower. Couldn't have asked for a better view. Not sure if Ballys was overbooked as another couple was being sent over or it was the tip...either way best $20 I spent in Vegas.

This was back on 2/21/09. There was a long line we were hoping to get a person that fits the profile as we have had luck at other sister properties with this. We got checked in by a lady who was mentioned by name before on this site and we gave her the sandwich she didn't hide the $$ which made us worried but then she assured us we would be very happy with our stay there. We were the Lyon Suite was perfect living room/dinning room two restrooms master bedroom. Hubby had a great B-Day!!

My girlfriend arrived at the Paris at about 12:30pm on a Monday with a pretty good sized line, that was moving luckily because 4 clerks and a manager was working. I was backing off on trying the trick cause I saw the manager, but luckily I got a clerk at opposite end of the desk. I handed her my sandwich with 40 (20 from me and 20 from my girl), and asked if there was any upgrades available. She immediately put the money to the side, and clicked away on the keyboard. She kept talking saying she was looking for a nice room that was clean, and wrote down 5 different room #s on a pad. As those didn't work out cause they weren't clean, she gave us a room on the 30th floor. She said it had a nice view of the strip and mentioned if I had paid for it, it would have been $75 more a night. She gave me the keys and hotel information and shook my hand as if she was very thankful for the tip.

When we got to the room and I saw the red leather baseboard and high def TV, I was immediately pleased. Then I saw the view and felt like I was in heaven. This tip was the best thing ever.
