Planet Hollywood Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! reever9 Got A Planet Hollywood Room Upgrade

I just spent a 4 days at the Aladdin and I tried the 20 dollar trick and it worked without any problems. I asked about any upgrades and the guy looked down at my credit card and saw the 20 and said "no problem" They upgrade was only for a view of the Bellagio and pool but it being the same time as the Hooters International Pageant it was well worth the 20 spot. I was hoping we were getting the deluxe room with the couch but it was the low end room on the 32nd floor. When I inquired about a suite the guy at the desk told me that the low level suites only have a king size bed there is very little privacy and since we requested two queens we would be better off with the view.

This might not be the right forum to vent but we had a great time while we were there but some of the dealers and the girl at the sports book were down right miserable. I grew up around Atlantic City and never have I seen such disrespect out of people that the last time I checked were working for tips. The rest of the hotel staff were great but a lot of the gaming people brought us down a bunch. I would definetely stay there again but I think I will taking my gaming business across the street.

Also, one more warning. Check your credit card bill a few days after check out. We bought a few bottles of water at the ABC store in the mall at the Aladdin. When the maids cleaned our room and saw some empty water bottles on the counter and in the trash they charged us 4.99 per bottle as if we had drank the special Aladdin water. Even though the bottles were a different size and color they are told to charge any empty water bottles to the room. I had to call the Aladdin accounting to get the charge removed. What a pain and What a scam...Boo Aladdin!!! I bet they make millions a year on fradualent water charges to people that don't check their credit card Bills thoroughly enough.

I was just in Vegas from June 29th to July 3rd. Checked into Aladdins and tried the 20 dollar trick even while knowing it will be a busy weekend. I asked how her day was, and tried to be as friendly as I can. Then I asked for a complimentary upgrade after slipping the 20 under the ID and she after a minute of typing, she said "we can give you a resort room with a view of the Bellagio fountains.

Room wasn't a suite but it was better than the one I would of ended up with. It was overlooking the pool, the Bellagio fountains and I was able to see fireworks on the 2nd. I checked the price difference of the room and it was $50/night difference. 20 dollars for the 4 night upgrade was worth it to me. I didn't bother to push her to give me a nicer room since it was a busy weekend but I think she would of offered me one if it was a slower weekend.

Oh yea, and I booked this on Priceline. Whoever said it doesn't work if you book through Priceline was probably just unlucky.

Just got back from Aladdin. $20 upgrade worked like a charm. Asked if an upgrade was possible. Got two rooms on the 22nd floor overlooking the strip and a great view of the Eiffel Tower.

Stayed 3 nights at Aladdin - Worked like a charm and they upgraded us to a resort vista overlooking the strip from a standard room. (Amazing and was well worth it) Big change from the room we would have had. How do I know because the other person in my party checked in before and we compared the two rooms.

I tried the $20 trick at the Aladdin on a $59 night players club rate and was told no upgrades were available for player club rates so I pulled back the $20 and asked for a room with a view...she gave us a nice King room in the North tower on the 26th floor facing the fountains!

Stayed 3 night at Aladdin $49/night, asked for a room upgrade, front desk said no at first, but when he saw my bill under my credit card, he put my bill and credit card on the keyboard, then did a lot of typing, and asked me if smoking is ok for me... I accepted it, it was on 33rd floor with a view to the Paris tower and Bellagio fountain + a Jaccuzz in the bathroom.

just got back from the Aladdin (may 7-10) and the $20 trick worked great.

i put the folded 20 under my license and as i handed it to the guy i said "i was wondering if any room upgrades might be available."

he moved close to the desk, held the license close to himself, quickly slid the bill out far enough to see the denomination, then covered it again. he started typing and said, "just a moment, sir, i'll see what i can do."

a few seconds later, he handed back my license, the 20 had magically disappeared, and he said "i've upgraded you to a junior suite with a panoramic strip view."

the jr. suite is nice, it's located at the front of the tower with curved walls, facing the strip . mine had 5 windows, so the curvature allowed for a great view. the suite wasn't as large as some i've stayed in, but the bathroom was nice (one window above the tub) and had a tv you could watch from the bath or the shower. also, being located at the end of the hall, it was very quiet.

Just got back from the Aladdin. Stayed April 15th-19th. Asked if there were any upgrades available while flashing a $20 and the guy said let me check. Tapped on the computer for a minute then said he could "hook me up" with a resort room on the 15th floor overlooking the Bellagio fountain. So It worked like a charm. The guy at checkin knew exactly what was going on. Aladdins comps were nice too played very little and ended up with 2 free buffets, a tee shirt, a coffee cup, $50 in free slot play, and $16 Cash Back. Probably didn't spend more than 4 hours total in the casino the whole time we were there and only played the slots. I'm a $20 tip believer.

Just got back from a 2 night stay at the Aladdin. I checked in at around 3PM at the front desk, and was greeted by a friendly older woman. It was me and my girlfriend's two year anniversary and I mentioned that near the beginning of a little chit chat. Then I took out my wallet as I started talking about how I wanted a nice room to celebrate our anniversary in style, and she said that she would definitely try to hook us up. We were booked for the most inexpensive room in the hotel at $69/night but she told us that she put us in the Strip Suite with a view of the Bellagio Fountains on the 32nd floor. She gave me everything that I needed for the room and she left without even giving me time to shake her hand with the $20 that I had waiting for her. So...I suppose the $20 trick didn't exactly work, but just being friendly was helpful enough.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone! It was a great trip!!!!!!!

Jackpot! New Mom Got A Planet Hollywood Room Upgrade

My husband were in town with friends and family for an event. Everyone left town on Sunday and we decided to stay one more night and splurge on a nice room. We were told the Aladdin had nice rooms so we just walked in, up to the desk, and asked if they had rooms available. They did, and when I slipped him $50, suddenly a high floor suite became available. Our room had a 360 degree, floor-to-ceiling view, two flat screen TVs, one of which was over 50". We had the full treatment from robes and special soaps. there was a whirlpool tub overlooking the strip. Nine months later, exactly, we had our first child, a beautiful little girl. Thanks Aladdin!
