still got a crappy room that was filthy and needed major repairs. Basically threw the money away and could have at least lost it in the casino.

Checked in at the Airport 8 pm and got a Mini Suite in the South Tower. Room was large – 800 square feet with soaking tub but disapointed that the room needed to be updated with newer furniture. See happy with our upgrade.

Slid the desk agent a $20 along with my CC/ID and asked about complimentary upgrades. He looked totally confused and said “Actually, all our upgrades are $100 a night.” He already had my money, and proceeded to take FOREVER to check me in. He did say if I didn’t like the room to come back down and ask for something else. The room was awful so I returned right away, and got a room in the new tower, but still no upgrade. And he did NOT return my $20.

The room was a little bigger and nicer than the standard rooms.

I typed a “YES” on the July 8th too. A few hours after checking out on the 11th we found out our plans had changed and wanted to extend our stay in Vegas. We rebooked a room for 2 more nights and tried the trick again. This time we were upgraded to a Jr. Suite (newly remodeled)!!

Checked in at the airport and listened to her spiel about the $20/nt suite upgrade fee. Told her I couldn’t afford that as I flashed the $20 and next thing I know we had a 1-bedroom huge suite in the South tower.

Talked to the front desk lady and she stated that the only room available was either two twin beds or one small room with a queen size bed. I asked her if there were any upgrades available and she stated that there wasn’t…that is when I flashed her the $20. All the sudden she found us this room with a great view and a king size bed.

First try with the $20 trick. Chcked in on July 4 for a 5 night stay. Placed the twenty between my ID and CC. Handed it to the clerk who noticed it, and thanked me. He then threw the $20 into the recessed area of the desk that the monitor sits in. I asked about a complementary upgrade, and he started typing away. After a few minutes, he gave me a few choices. A suite in the South Tower or a “Luxury” room in the North Tower (newer) with a great view of the pool. He recommended the Luxury room since it was larger and because the suite had no view. I took his advice. The room was wonderful! New furniture and very large with couch, table and chairs and desk.

Was so glad to find the $20 trick actually worked and wasn’t awkward or uncomfortable at all. The clerk was very appreciative and thanked me several times!

Never did this before after well over 15 trips to Vegas. Woman at the counter at the airport was very nice, I slipped in the 20 b/w CC and Lic. She saw it, and asked what she could do for me. I asked for the 2 rooms we had both be in the North tower, and she said, “no problem.”
