Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Deluxe Strip View  from  Deluxe Strip View 

We arrived at Rio around 2am on a Monday night, we had 3 nights booked for a deluxe suite and it was already comped. There was no one in line at registration and 3 representatives available. We chose the Asian male late 20s-30s and did the $20 in between id and credit card. He took the $20 bill and placed it on top of the counter on his side, he asked if we had an preferences (up high, view, close to elevator) and informed us that they had alot of rooms available, but no upgrade. He was however very nice and we also had a couple friends who checked into another room earlier before us so he put us next to each other near the elevator.

Was this an epic upgrade?

Tipped:  $0 Upgraded to  Classic  from  Deluxe Strip View 

Long line so I got who I got. Arrived around 5pm. I didn’t even ask to upgrade. Had my ID and CC ready (Disney VISA). I don’t think it had to do with the card. Got upgraded to huge suite with pool/strip views and whirlpool tub. I booked on Vegas.com for $80 and paid $32 resort fee on the trip. Maybe they could tell I had penn and teller tix and a reservation for dinner already?

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Classic  from  Classic 

No upgrade at all.
No comp, no nothing.
Wasted $40 for two rooms.

Gave clerk two $20 dollar bills.
Folded in half at the beginning of our check-in.

Was happy to accept but just checked us in.

Advise before you give tip to learn if you are getting upgrade or nothing. Studied this website before going. Live and learn. This does not work for everyone.

[Editors Note: Make sure you ask “if there are any complimentary upgrades available” when using the $20 dollar trick.]

Tipped:  $50 Upgraded to  Samba Suite  from  Standard 

Very tall Black gentleman

1PM( Early Checkin on SOLD OUT WEEKEND)

“I hope you can make my weekend, much better”
Never said anything about the cash,
he said “I’ll be right back, let me go check on something for you”

I had the lowest level room that was comped, and the upgraded suites were sold out the dates I was checked in.

This guy pulled a miracle, the room was around $100-150 a night above my comp level. With a strip view.

Waved the early checkin fee

Reduces my cash deposit fee in half

I saved $220-350ish, and got a sold out room

I was switching hotels and the refund of unused nights at the old crappy hotel, paid for the tip at the new hotel.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  High floor with a view  from  Standard 

I came in the middle of the afternoon and the queue was empty. There was a male and a female clerck, I opted for her ^^.

I used the usual trick, asking for an upgrade while presenting my credit card. She verified in her computer and upgraded me to a room on 32th floor with a view strip.

Be carefull: the 32 floor is 5 floor below the roof nighclub. Don’t plan to sleep before 1am.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Did not get upgraded   from  Standard suite 

Got a middle aged male clerk who instantly told me he can’t do upgrades but I can pay $100 a night for the upgrade. I informed him it was my bachelor party week and he just laughed. We got a room in the original tower which is old stuff. It was on the third floor over lookin a roof

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  king suite with strip view  from  king suiye 

We arrived after 6pm. The desk was empty. A young Hispanic girl and a African America were talking at counter. We decide to approach female. When she asked for ID and cc I had the $20 already set up. I asked her were there any complimentary upgrades she fumbled threw some screens and offered us 30th floor with strip view. She said its normally $20 per night but wouldn’t charge us. So I guess it worked, although we were not that impressed with actual room. Masquerade Tower. We should have picked other clerk he seemed very social with the person he was checking in where she was dry and had very little conversation.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  suite overlooking the strip, 18th floor, fantastic!  from  Booked thru Allegiant Air, a basic room 

There was two women working and my wife and I picked the yourger, friendly looking one.
Our flight was 4 hours late so we didn’t check in until 1:30 AM on the 11th. I put a folded twenty under my ID and handed it to her and said sorry we are so late our plane was delayed and it’s our 23rd year of being married and we heard your hotel was great so here we are! She sliiped the twenty into her pocket anss said let me make a call and as we were waiting my wife asked me what’s she doing on the phone as she didn’t see me slip the clerk the twenty or see the clerk put it in her pocket. I said she’s checking on an upgrade and soon the clerk hung up the phone and said she was glad we were here and that she will give us a suite overlooking the strip and then she gave us four passes to the Voo and some free drinks along with some other freebies. It was cool to say the least! It was my first time ans it worked great!
