Planet Hollywood Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! partygirl21 Got A Planet Hollywood Room Upgrade

Placed $20 between ID and CC with the $20 visible. Asked if there were any comped upgrades since it was our anniversary. Clerk saw the $20 and immediately said, "I'll take care of you guys." This is the first time we've tried this, so that alone was very exciting! Anyway, he offered us the 23rd floor (2 dbl beds) or the 12th floor King bed, smoking. We chose the 12th floor b/c he said there was construction on the other side. Plus, the room didn't smell like smoke. We really enjoyed the extra space (100 ft bigger) and the view was very nice of Paris, the tower, and Caeser's. We were NOT asked for the player's card and got the extras that came w/ the old promo- booked under CNEW something back in Jan. 2 free Stomp tickets, B1G1 Buffet. STOMP was awesome! Highly recommended. Anyway, great deal, didn't hear any contruction and hotel's location cannot be beat for the price. That said, however, there isn't a whole lot to do there, as we went around to other hotels and clubs to have fun and gamble. Would def stay again for the price and location. THANKS

It worked great, was able to upgrade two rooms for two nights on only a $20.00 tip. Clerk was very helpful and courteous. Great deal because it gave us a lot of space since there were four persons to a room

Simply put the $20 bill between my ID and CC and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She said that she'd look and after a lot of typing on the computer she said that she had a Strip Suite but that it was on a smoking floor. I said that's fine. She then continued to type away and then she said that she found a panorama suite with a view of the fountains. It was an awesome room!

At checkin, handed over id and 2 x $20 and asked if there was a chance of a complimentray upgrade. Was given the Panorama Suite, iirc. Had 180 degree view of the fountains and Arc de Triumphe and Eiffel Tower. Was sooo worth it. The rate was from the Player Club posted on these forums, and also got an extra voucher for a pair of tickets for Stomp.

The reason I said yes it worked is because the clerk said he upgraded us to a Resort room, but later found it was just a regular room. But it did have the fantastic view of the Bellagio fountains, which I found out later that is a $30 per night upgrade. So I was happy.

We had booked the standard deluxe room. I was concerned about our late check-in time on a saturday night. We were also staying 7 nights. I debated going with a $50 tip( in hindsite I should have). She upgraded us to a resort room with a partial strip view. This was a handicap access room with extra floor space. The room was very large with a sofa, highback chairs and his&her vanity sinks. We saved $350 over the seven nights. Well worth the tip.

Checked in at the Starwood Gold/Platinum line. I asked about an upgrade and tipped $20. The clerk (early 30s, asian) told me that the only resort room open was smoking, but the smell wouldnt be too bad, and that every resort vista, strip suite, and panoramic suite was taken. Although skeptical, I said if that's the best you can do, we'll take it. This clerk was full of lies.

The room's smell was unbearable and the view was mediocre, so we went back down to the front desk to try again. We went to a different clerk(caucasian, early 30s) at the SPG Gold/Platinum line. Even though we didn't tip the second clerk, she had no problem finding us a wide selection of non-smoking resort rooms with a view. She let us take our pick. Resort vista and suites were available, but she said only she can only upgrade platinum members for free, and even then, resort vista is the highest they go. (Contrary to the Platinum "Best Room Available" guarantee touted by starwood) I asked her if they had changed their policy, as I was positive upgrades beyond resort vista were available for free. She said with supervisor approval, any discretionary upgrade is possible, and she kindly offered to go ask for me. A minute later she came back saying it was a no-go. The resort room we ended up with was fine. The extra sink was worth $20.

When I handed him my ID and credit card, with the $20 bill peeking out between them, he handed the bill back right away and said, "Sorry, but we don't have any upgrades available because we are at high capacity." Although it is not the reason I came to town, I will be staying until Friday and the NASCAR race, which is a big draw, is in town, so I believe that may be why

Handed over my DL and CC with the $20 visible in between. Asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available and she said, "Of course." I was upgraded from the standard room to a Resort room on the top floor. It was the most spectacular view I have ever had in Vegas (Bellagio Fountains, Eiffel Tower, etc.). During check in there was a supervisor standing directly behind the clerk. The clerk made no effort to hide the tip and as I walked away I could hear the supervisor compliment the clerk on the way she handled the check-in prodcedure.
