Our rate was $159, two night stay sun-tues. We checked in on sunday at about noon. The place was packed and we didn't have a choice of what clerk to line up for. There were people directing guests to each clerk. We got upgraded to the 38th floor (I assume we could have gotten a higher floor but we requested nonsmoking.) View on the strip side was fantastic - sunsets, mountain views, it was absolutely gorgeous and worth the $20 extra. Rooms was fabulous, service was great, we got $100 free slot credit which we ended up turning into cash. Pool was endless and beautiful. Then we sat at the tables and ended up earning two buffet comps. Buffet was mint. Definitely will stay at the Wynn again.

I had a complimentary 3-night stay at the Wynn, and reserved it a few weeks ahead. Checked in on Friday night around 10:30PM. Asked the clerk for complimentary upgrade without the $20, and he said the hotel was all booked. Was supposed to be in a Resort room on a low floor. But after seeing my $20 sandwich, he started typing and said he could give us an upgrade to a Panoramic room. Was on the 31st floor in the corner with 2 walls of windows, with a view of the Encore and the golf course.

Got in Thursday at about 10pm. The one younger guy who looked like he’d play ball was in the “invited guest” section so I had to take my chances with the older Asian woman. The $20 fell on the keyboard and she immediately said “do you need change” to which I responded “I hope not. Do you have any upgrades available?” She typed and said she could give us a panoramic room on the 37th floor. Now, I made the rez on Orbitz and it was a good rate so I was not expecting much but I said “isn’t that the room I would get anyway?” I was ready to take the $20 back when she said “so you want something better?” and I was thinking “f yeah” but said “yes, do you have anything on a higher floor with a strip view” and she said yes she had a room on the top floor (60) facing the strip on the corner of the hotel (so we had 2 windows). The only thing was that it was smoking optional and I HATE cigarette smoke. But we went up there and it was odorless. Overall it was worth the $20 as we were there for 5 nights – so $4 a day was very fair. I would also say that tipping the pool staff goes a long way – if you want a good spot go down there when you get up and give someone a $10 or $20 to reserve some chairs for you. Then you can go back down around 1pm and they’ll be waiting.

I did the sandwich with $40, she took the $ and asked, "whats this for" I said the standard free upgrade line; she gave back the money and said, "let me see what I can do and if you're not satisfied, then we can talk"
Upgraded us free and gave us the room keys.

Slipped the clerk the 50 after asking for a complimentary upgrade, got a choice of rooms including the 60th floor, took one on the 34th as was non-smoking, well worth the outlay as we were staying for a week. The guy seemed to know the score and didn't seem that inclined to take the money, would probably have done it without the tip.

I wasn't very smooth, but it still worked. I didn't position myself to check in with a male and I didn't have the $20 ready. In fact when I handed the clerk the id-$20-credit card, the $20 popped up and onto the desk like an accordian. I didn't fold it hard enough.
Anyway it worked like a charm. She immediately searched for the best ns room available. Even reserved another room on the same floor for my brother who was arriving several hours later. My room was a panoramic view room on the 34th floor, next to the elevator, overlooking the strip. Well worth the $20.

I was a litle bit stressed out and when the clerk asked me for my credit card I couldn't find the 20$ bill I had prepared in my pocket ! Eventually I did find it. The clerk took it, put it on the desk and offered us a room on the 48th floor. Nice bonus : it was a corner room i.e. 2 large windows :) I told the story to all my friends when I came back in Paris :)

No Dice For Potato at Wynn...

Well, it wasn't even close. I handed the front desk clerk my ID and my license with the sandwiched $20 bill clear for her to see. I asked about any complimentary room upgrades, she looked down, saw the $20 bill and handed it right back to me and shook her head. I do not believe this $20 tip trick will work at the Wynn hotel.

Although the 60th floor (penthouse) was available, we chose the highest non-smoking floor instead (58th) with strip-view. We could see all the way to Mandalay Bay. She was even willing to check for Tower Suite upgrades, but since it's July 4th weekend, it's all sold out. Excellent stay, definitely on the top of my list for repeats (unless Encore is even better).

Got upgraded to 58th floor (highest non-smoking floor) with strip-view. View is absolutely gorgeous (if not for Palazzo blocking half of it). Excellent service. Will definitely go back (or to Encore).

Not a whole lot to add. It worked. Great panoramic room on the 54th floor. My fiance and I went out for our wedding, it definitely added to the whole event. Beautiful view.

On arriving at the check in desk i commented on how good the hotel was. The check in clerk immediately smiled and said thank you. Once completing the paperwork she asked if there was any thing else that she could do and i asked her if there was any chance of an upgrade. As i was so polite to her she gave me a parlour suite with free champagne and a free meal for myself and my wife. No tip was given and we had a great time.

No Dice For Robert at Wynn...

For those who say tipping is illegal. i.e. Joe. It isn't. Not under state law and not under federal law. Bribery is defined as "offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in discharge of a public or legal duty." Last time I checked, this doesn't include front desk employees at hotels. Can the front desk people lose their job? Yes. But it is their risk, and their risk alone. Please think before talking about subjects you know nothing about. And yes, I am a lawyer.

We arrived late at the Wynn around 12. I placed the folded $20 between my CC and my ID. The clerk took everything and set the $20 on top of his keyboard and ask me if there was anything extra he could do for me, I said the standard "I was wondering if I could get a complementary upgrade" he said let me see what I can do and bam, got the room upgrade.

I got a comped 3 day stay in a standard resort room. Never tried the $20 trick before. Got in around 2am, gave the clerk my $20 and asked if any complimentary upgrades were available. He called someone up on his phone, and after a while said he felt bad about taking the $20 since there was nothing he could do, and handed it back. As he finished checking me in, he got a phone call, and said he now had an upgrade to a room on the 55th floor. I told him I felt bad about keeping the $20, so I handed it back to him. It appeared to be a standard room, just on a high floor, facing away from the strip. This was nice, as you could see the golf course and distant mountains. Worth $20, but not that big a deal. He also gave me a few passes for Tryst, their night club, for Sunday night.

This is our first try with the $20 tip. We booked a resort room using the casino rate ($179/night w/ $100 free credit) for the weekend. Checked in around 6pm. Got directed to a male clerk who was quite friendly. Did the $20 between the CC and ID, and asked for a complimentary upgrade. He made a quick phone call, and got us the panoramic view room at 57th floor. The view was awesome! We're very happy with the result! (Note: In reality, it's only 47th floor, because Wynn doesn't have 40th-49th floor.)

Checked in around 4PM. All of the clerks were female. Placed the $20 underneath ID and CC, clerk saw it and promptly gave us a room with a great strip view (however, half of the view is blocked by the new casino Palazzo)
