Paris Hotel Room Upgrades

No Dice For Sarah at Paris...

We tried this and had no luck sadly. The clerk did offer us a paid upgrade but we declined. I asked if she could do the best she could for us in the room type we had and whether it was coincidence I'm not sure but our room was fab! It must have been recently renovated as was lovely and we had a partial view of the Bellagio fountains. Shame we didn't get upgraded as we were on our honeymoon but would have no complaints about the room we got anyway.

Caught an early flight into Vegas from Detroit and got to the hotel around 9am. My wife and I figured that we'd get stuck with having to wait til 4pm to check in, so I gave the $20 tip trick a shot. I had a super personable attendant named Sandy. My apologies if I was wrong, but she looked a little older so I got kinda nervous. Nonetheless, after some polite chitchat, I handed her my id+visa with a 20 dollar bill sandwiched in between. She kinda chuckled when she noticed it, and said, 'what's this?'. I simply tried my charming best, and asked if she could give us a nice view, that'd be awesome. She went in the back for a bit, and when she came out we continued some small talk (I mentioned it was my wife's first trip to Vegas, blah blah blah). She apologized for not having a king bed room, but she did have a queen double ready for check in. So we took it...and wow, what a view! We were dead center, facing the pool, eiffel tower and the Bellagio. When I explained to my wife what I had done, she was shocked! She had no idea that a simple tip could make that much of a difference. Had a great stay at Paris - but avoid the one men's shop in the hallway to Ballys. The clerk there was a slimey pretty boy who tried to guilt me into giving him a tip for buying a simple pair of socks. Overall GREAT experience at the hotel, and the best $20 I spent all stay!

I checked in around 11:30 in the morning and there was barely a line. I had a twenty slipped in between y credit card and driver's license beforehand so I just handed it to her and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades. She typed away for about five minutes and said there is a P room ready on the 25th floor. Room was great, large and newly renovated.

No Dice For Dave at Paris...

Clerk said she could not give an upgrade unless she charged me the standard amount. I declined. The room I go had a partially obstructed view of the Bellagio Fountains. From her mannerisms and the quick way she shot it down it seems as if their management may be cracking down on the whole thing. If you want an upgrade like this, stay at a different hotel - It has worked for me a 3 others.

I am 3 for 3 at Paris. I read some of the failure reports, and some say they had the $20 in their hand or in a folder. Don't do this! Hand the clerk the money with your driver's license and CC. If you are a platinum player or better, be sure to hand them your player card also. Don't bother if you're only gold-everyone gets gold when they sign up. This last time, I asked for a Calais suite, but they didn't have one available for every day that I was there. I then asked for an upgraded room-the higher floors have been renovated and are much nicer. I also asked for a strip view (very important at Paris or you'll be looking at the parking deck!). SUCCESS! The clerk felt bad there were no Calais suites available and offered to return my $20. I said no, you still got me a great room. Most will return the $20 if they can't help you, so what do you have to lose????

I walked up to the clerk and gave her the $20 in between my license and credit card. She immediately knew what was up and said, "Oh, I see you have a gift for me. I take it you want me to see if I can get a great room." It worked like a charm. We got a corner room overlooking the strip.

I put the $20. between my drivers license and my CC and asked the clerk if she had any renovated rooms on a high floor overlooking the Bellagio fountains. We got a room on the 25th floor which was a lot nicer than the room that we got last year. It was completely renovated and had a large flat screen TV. We had a great view of the Eiffel Tower and the fountains. In the past there was an extra charge for rooms facing the strip.

No Dice For Dan at Paris...

Held the 20 prominently in my hand and asked for the upgrade. The front desk lady promptly told me all the suites were sold out. She was not helpful at all. Then when we get to our room, I find we have a view of the parking lot! My original reservation request was for a view of the Bellagio fountains. Oh well!
