We arrived at 2 PM & the reservation lines were packed. Didn’t really have a choice as to which clerk we would get.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Deluxe Augustus Tower Room  from  Deluxe Palace Tower Room w/ $25 food credit 

The clerk was excellent. We might have received the upgrade even without the tip but we decided to try it. We were in the back of the hotel and had a view of the Palms and Rio but we did not care about the view because the room was gorgeous. The Augustus Tower is amazing. The National Rodeo Finals and the Las Vegas Marathon were both this weekend and they even had a Convention with over 3500 employees so we were very happy to even get this. On a side note, the food credit could be used for room service and their Kung Pao chicken was awesome.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Tower Suite  from  Tower Room 

Thanks to you all for this topic. Would never have tried it otherwise. Got in line and went to the youngest person I could find…handed her my ID..she pulled up the reservation…and I asked her if she could upgrade us…she looked at me and I handed her my credit card and $20 together..she smiled…and said let me she its a very busy weekend…and it took her like 10 minutes..and then she was like…make sure you keep your keys on you..because the 28th floor requires that you use your key in the elevator..and said Thanks and put the money in her pocket…I said thank you and I was off…GREAT room..had his and her bathrooms..and a plasma TV…it was great..thanks

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Augustus Tower /w Strip View  from  Palace Tower 

Checked in at airport about 5.30pm.
Handed credit card with tip visible to clerk and asked if there were any free upgrades available.
She knew exactly what we meant and after a little time typing gave us a fantastic room over overlooking the Bellagio fountains.
We were travelling with our young kids (shock horror!) and would probably have scored a suite if we did not need the 2 queen beds.
Definitely $20 well spent!

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Forum Mini-Suite  from  Augustus Tower Room 

Here’s what went down. Went to the desk with my friend (she had the room in her name). I had her ID and CC in my hand with $20 sandwiched between, but sticking out. Said, “Hey how are you? We’d like to check-in.” He asked for her last name and said, “I have you for a double in the Augsutus Tower right?”
I then clicked the cards down on the counter and said, “Yep, but we were wondering if you could upgrade us.” He was looking straight at me and didn’t see the $20 so I looked right at the $20 and he then looked at it too. He said, “I’m sorry, but on a weekend at full capacity we can’t really do anything like that.” I said,”Oh really? What’s going on? Is there something special this weekend?”
He replied,”No, not really, just people coming to relax.” Blah, blah, blah…more small talk.
Then I slid the CC over the $20 and hid it.

He then typed a bunch of stuff…got on the phone…”So you really need 2 beds right? And that has to be non-smoking?” We said yes. He made some more calls…
He then said,”Well, you had a double room in the new Augustus Towers. Very nice and $50 over our regular rooms. What I can get you is a suite in the Forum Towers. This is slightly older tower, but a very nice mini-suite. 800 square feet and $120 over our regular room. It has a king bed and I can call you a rollaway. Would you like that? Of course there will be no extra charge.”
I answered yes and that was that.
“Is that for me?”, he asked pointing to the $20. I said yes and he smoothly took the cards and $20 and pocketed it.
I dunno why he said he couldn’t do it at first.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Palace Towers  from  Standard Room 

Stayed at Caesars from 8/8-8/11, checked in at the hotel, told the young girl that it was my friend’s birthday (it really was) and slipped her my CC and ID with $20 between and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. She seemed like she knew exactly what I was getting at, so she goes, “I’ll see what I can do.” Types away at the computer and finds us a room in the Palace towers overlooking the pool and right next to the elevator. It was great, had our own jacuzzi, and the pool was right downstairs. Very well worth the $20! I was hoping to get the Augustus Tower, but I guess I’ll just have to try again next time!

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to    from  Palace Tower Room 

Slipped $20 for a room at Cesars Palace and the young girl had no clue what I was trying to do. Told me that there wasn’t anything available and that the room i was getting was already nice. Felt pretty embarassed at the moment. Took my $20 back and thanked her and checked out the room. It was a newly renovated room with a LCD TV and very spacious in the palace tower. One of the nicer rooms I have stayed in Vegas, maybe even better than Venetian IMO.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Suite  from  Standard Room 

Came back from LV over the weekend. Checked in at the airport to Ceasars. The $20 trick worked…got upgraded to the suite with a huge his and her bathroom and a large LCD Sony TV. I would’ve gotten a better deal if not for the 2 queen beds. Anyway, when we got to the room, the bathroom door was broken and I complained at the check in counter. They told us that all of their rooms are full at 97.6% fill rate this past weekend and don’t have one similar to ours. So they comped us $50 for buffets and upgraded us to the Asparatus tower (1 year old) the following day. Nicer suite with a LCD TV in the bathroom.

Not that it matters, but the checked in person was an African American and he seemed nervous when checking us in at the airport. He had to make a call to the hotel to make sure the suite we wanted was available.

Oh did I mention that the room was comped at Ceasars? -$20 (tips) + $50 (buffets) = $30 slot money.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Suite /w View  from  Regular Room 

Used airport check in (which also saved me about 45 minutes). Got a nice suite with a strip view. The guy in front of me nicely asked if there was anything available in terms of free upgrades and was told no… I guess in this case $20 worked better than a smile and being friendly.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Augustus Tower Guest Room  from  Regular Room 

Took a little more work but finally got an amazing upgrade. They upgraded me from a standard room to Augustus Tower guest room with a view of the strip and the Bellagio fountain, on a high floor. Had all kinds of things sent up to my room as well like gifts, drinks and chocolate. What an amazing upgrade.

I would say try this and if they give you a hard time really then push it to see what they can do.
Oh and to get VIP dress well (Suit) tip generous and people will hand you VIPs like candy. Got plenty to PURE when I was at Caesars.
