Checked in at the hotel around 9pm. Sandwiched the 20 between CC and Driver’s License. I handed it over and asked “do you think you could look into an upgrade to the North Tower?”. I have never seen a 20 disappear so fast. It went into her pocket, she was very thankful and started looking. She ended up going back into ‘the room’ like 2-3 times so I thought I was going to get stiffed. She really wanted to put me in a suite or something with a view but I wasn’t staying in the South tower due to reviews I have read elsewhere.

In the end, she gave me what I wanted, a North Tower room with 2 queens, on the 22nd floor, looking out towards Wynn. She also gave me a huge # of line passes for lounges, clubs, etc.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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)!!

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.

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.

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.”
