Venetian Hotel Room Upgrades

Jackpot! Vegacino Got A Venetian Room Upgrade

It was a very busy weekend, as there were 2 conventions in town. I handed the clerk the sandwich as most people do and made small talk as she typed on the computer. She mentioned the hotel was at full capacity b/c of the conventions. I asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available and she offered to look. She checked the Palazzo but could not get me anything. Finally, she offered me a suite in the Venezia tower with a strip view, which I gladly accepted. She then asked if I would be needing change for the $20 and I said it was all hers. My first time doing the sandwich and it worked without a hitch! She also gave me a free $50 gambling credit, a $50 drink credit at the club in the Palazzo, and 4 free passes to the club as well! The $50 gambling credit alone was more than worth the $20 tip!

Kinda worked, but we were there for 3 days and they didnt have any suites available the whole time we were there. (we checked online) So it was the best they could do. Great room still.

Jackpot! Mike Got A Venetian Room Upgrade

Knowing that the main check in area is sometimes crowded, I went to the Venezia check in desk. I walked right up to the clerk. I handed her my driver's license, credit card and a $20. I asked if she had an complimentary upgrade to a Rialto Suite available. She checked and gave me the room, on the 33rd floor with view of the Strip.

Did not even bother trying the tip with the first front desk clerk, as she was obviously in a sour mood from the point she said hello. This was at the Venezia desk and not normal check in. So we called at about Midnight with compliants about our room (view of parking garage, uncleanly, tv's did not work, one would not even shut off). Clerk offered us a piazza suite (1400 sq ft) for the 6 nights we stayed, and we only paid $100 a night each night. It was amazing.

$20 tip worked, but there's a cavaet.

Checked in around noon, huge line at the main desk, so we were directed to the Venezia Check-in desk upstairs. Presented ID/credit card/$20 sandwich to Lindsey at Front Desk and asked if there are any complimentary upgrades. She said "Certainly" and pocketed the money right away. Got us a room on a top floor in the main tower with a great Strip view. However, when we got to the room it stank of cigar and marijuana smoke, so went back to the main check-in desk to switch rooms. Dealt with a front desk clerk named Ronald who sort of gave us a hard time for being unsatisfied with the room. When he viewed our reservation in the system to switch our room, he turned to his supervisor and said “A strip view room for that rate??” Supervisor replied “No”, so we thought the jig was up and just lost our $20 upgrade. Turns out the new room had an even better view. We got lucky because it didn’t seem like Ronald or the Supervisor were initially inclined to go along with the upgrade.

Here’s the cavaet: if you’re going to try the $20 sandwich and it turns out the room has problem, try to deal with the original person you bribed, otherwise your $20 might go to waste.

Did the $20 sandwich and asked if any complementary upgrades were available. Once she saw the $20 her face lighted up and said "I'll see what I can do." Upgraded to 23rd floor with a view. Next time, I'll ask for some food credits in addition. What can I lose? I'll be doing this every time. My room on I stayed on a Fri and Sat night, got my room on Priceline for $160.

Jackpot! Lucky Got A Venetian Room Upgrade

Main lobby was packed, a woman asked if I wanted to go upstairs to checkin, I said yes. LUCKY! When I got there only one counter person was there. I folded the $20 between my CC and DL, told her I was checking in, asked if they had any upgrades available. She told me that I already had a nice room BUT if I wanted to wait about an hour that she had a king suite with a great view of the strip. She was right! The tip was well worth the view.

Jackpot! Alan M Got A Venetian Room Upgrade

checked in at 2:30 on Thursday afternoon. All the check in agents were busy at the main desk so we were called over to "Invited check in" desk by a young guy. Handed him the sandwich - he didnt flinch - simply made the twenny disappear and asked hius colleague about superior upper level rooms. Handed us the room keys for a strip view room on the 31st floor of the main tower in a newly renovated gorgeous suite. Best $20 I spent all week. Loved the buzz of trying the trick too. go ahead try it - you wont be dissapointed :D

No Dice For Maria at Venetian...

Tried the $20 sandwich with a young lady at the front desk. I didn't ask for an upgrade, but instead merely asked for a room that had a somewhat decent view as my boyfriend is a photographer and would like to take some photos. She didn't mention the $20 the entire time and seemed friendly so we were hopeful. We got to the room which was on the 6th floor and at the very end of the hallway to find a view of the parking garage and the back end of the Palazzo. What a waste of money! On top of it all, for being at the end of the hallway, the room was incredibly noisy.
