Venetian Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Mike from RI Got A Venetian Room Upgrade

Waited in a short line, wife asked if i was going to do the trick. I said yes what do we have to lose rooms were $200 each night. Use bookit.com mystery 5 start north suite. Easy to figure out which hotel it is look at what they tell you. It said Roman tub and only Venetian and Palazzo say that in theres. Cheapest other website was $279 friday and $329 for Sat. So I get called up to very pretty young asia named Jenna. Slid her CC $20 and license. She smiled slide the $20 under keyboard and smiled. She told me we were slated for a room which was a suite with double beds and with a not so nice view she said you could maybe see the mountains. She smiled and asked if we had ever been to the Venetian and I said no. She asked where we stayed before we compared the Encore and several others as she typed away. She finally stopped and handed us our room keys. 33rd floor with great view of pools, tao and strip from Mirage toward north area. Plus room had just been redone. Everything looked brand new. Great stay.

We were sent to the first available clerk who was a gal in about her mid-twenties. We were checking in pretty early; around 1pm on a Saturday. I handed over the sandwich and said "I know I'm staying on a comp rate, but I don't suppose there are any complimentary upgrades available?". She held the sandwich in her hand while she did some stuff on the computer and the manager stood behind her. She then bent down as if she was fiddling with printouts under the counter and when she came up the $20 bill was gone.

We ended up getting a 33rd floor room with a view of the pools and partial strip. (We couldn't see the TI show thanks to some construction over by Tao.) I was a bit unpleased that the girl went ahead and processed everything without even talking to me about what she could get me. I didn't even have a chance to ask for other freebies. I had to ask "Uhh, so what kind of room do I have?" and "What's the difference in the view?" If you are targetting a specific upgrade like a certain suite, I guess it's best to just say so up front.

Came in on an email offer for a 3-night stay. Was directed to a check-in clerk by a hostess. Rather than doing the sandwich straight away, i merely asked the clerk if I could get a complimentary upgrade in exchange for a $20 tip. Clerk asked me if the Palazzo with a high floor strip view would be acceptable. I had never stayed there so I gladly accepted. The view of the Treasure Island directly across the street was magnificent. In fact, we looked over it to the mountains beyond. Having stayed at Venetian twice before, I much prefer the Palazzo. The rooms are very much the same size and layout as Venetian, with the same features and amenities. The furnishings are not only newer, the colour scheme is more attractive in my opinion. The art on the wall as well. And, the hallways were fabulous. Dark, with shades of purple, grey, and brown. Hard to describe. Best hotel hallway ever if you ask me.

When you check in at the Venetian, you can't select a clerk, so it was by chance that I got a male in his upper 20s. I slipped the bill between my license and credit card and asked politely for a complimentary upgrade. He told me he was able to put me on the 24th floor with a nice view. I'm not sure if this was an actual upgrade or not. The room overlooked the pool, but since it was January, there wasn't much to see. I would try this trick again, but I would ask specifically what kind of suite I have been placed in.

We took some friends down so we went up to the desk togeather and told the clerk, (who was super nice) that we were hoping to get a strip view room. We were checking in early,(about 11:30 am) and we had each slipped a $20.00 into our papers. As soon as she saw the 20s, she told us that she could upgrade our rooms to the Palazzo. We had to wait a little bit for housekeeping to finnish the one room, (we wanted two togeather) but we ended up with suites on the 46th floor overlooking the strip. Best rooms we have ever had in Vegas. She even threw in a coupon book that included a $25.00 slot credit so it didn`t cost us anything!

I just returned from a 4 day comp trip the Venetian and the $20 tip worked wonderfully. I handed the cc and dl with the $20 sandwich to the clerk and asked if there were any upgrades available with a view. The clerk said "certainly" and asked "if I had ever stayed at the Palazzo". I responded "no but I would enjoy the opportunity" then and she asked if a luxury suite with a view with on high floor would acceptable. I accepted. The room was great.

We arrived at the Venetian around 2pm. The line was very long and we ended up waiting for about an hour. There was 7 of us and we had booked two Luxury rooms through the Vegas.com vacation packages. When we got to the front of the line we got a guy in his mid 20s. Looked a little more official than the others at the front desk. He was wearing a suit and the others were wearing matching vest. A little worried he might be a manager, but already had the money ready so decided to give it a go as it has worked twice for us before. Started by making small talk with him about the line and some people being rude that were currently up at the counter. Slipped him my id, CC, and the $100 (since we had two rooms) and asked if there was any complimentary room upgrades. He said he would see what he could do and walked over to one of the other guys in a suit. He came back and said there wasn't really anything available but he might be able to get us something with a better view or move us to the Palazzo. I then told him that we were all there for my girlfriends birthday and the other 6 had never been to Vegas before (which were both true). He again left and chatted with some people. He went back and forth about 3 more times joking with me each time he returned saying he could probably get better and would go back and talk with them some more. By the time it was over he offered me a room on there complimentary suite level. He said it was the 3rd floor and had no view what so ever, but we told him we were ok with that. Each room ended up being 1,500 sqft and just amazing. Two bathrooms, full bar, living and dining area, and HUGE bathroom. Well worth the $100. He was definately right about the view though. All we saw was air conditioner. I would say striking up a nice friendly conversation and giving them a little break in the rush goes a long way.

I did not pick clerk as there was long queue but got nice young girl. handed over our passports without thinking so just held the $20 with my credit card making sure she could see it and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades. She said she would put us on the top floor (of the luxury suits floor 30) and when I gave her the $20 with my card she asked me if I meant to give that to her. I said yes and she took it. She also offered to give me free internet after I asked how much it was but I couldn't find her again at end of stay. We were very happy with room and hotel.

Had reserved the basic room, low floors, no view. Upon checkin, handed over DL, CC, and 20, and asked if there might be any upgrades available. Clerk set aside the 20, typed away, and found high up room, floor 29, with nice view (per website, these rooms were 50 more per night). Only problem was, that next morning, could hear heavy construction noise from room renovations nearby. Called front desk, and they moved us to an even nicer room. Newly renovated, two 42" plasma tvs, electronic window treatments, etc. Very nice.
