Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  Standard, South Tower  from  Standard, South Tower 

There was no line, walked up and handed her the sandwich. She immediately saw the $20 and passed it right back to me, saying “oh no thank you.” I said “that’s for you” (I tip whether they can help me or not). But she was adamant. I had to take it back. But I wound up with a nice room at the very end of the hallway. It was in the same tower/class I had reserved but perhaps she took care of me as best she could.

Was this an epic upgrade?

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  North Tower with pool view  from  South Tower standard 

Was in town for the Barrett-Jackson auction so I didn’t know how booked the hotels would be. I have stayed at the GN bofore and like the property so I booked there. Booked a south tower standard room. I checked in Wed. approx 4pm., presented the $20 between DL and CC and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades. Upgraded to a North tower room with a pool view, no problem. I’ll definately be back.

Tipped:  $100 Upgraded to  standard room  from  standard room 

I checked in on a Tuesday night at around 10:30 p.m. and approached the agent (male, 30’s) and displayed the sandwich. I asked him if they were still accepting the upgrade coupons which he replied I am lucky to get you into a room at all tonight. Apparently, they had a computer glitch and overbooked many room and were forced to comp. guests to other properties. I am not sure I believe this, but that’s what he was trying to tell me.
I was given a smoking room which smelled like a bingo parlor. I was told in the morning I could switch into a non-smoking room.

So, in the morning I decided to give it another try but I decided to up the ante to $ 100.00. An older gal helped me out and I again asked if there were any complimentary upgrades and showed her the “$100” coupon. She said that she almost lost her job yesterday when she upgraded somebody and hence would not be able to upgrade me.

But, she was very helpful and got us a “renovated” room (= has a flat screen plasma TV) in the south tower. She spent a few minutes trying to do this and as a token of my appreciation I was going to give her $10. She said that she could not even accept that. Thus, I had no success this time.

Tipped:  $40 Upgraded to    from  North Tower Room 

Well check in was quick and easy, not to many people. I walked up to the front desk with my girlfriend and I already had my money in place. Greeted by the guy at the front desk i said hello and with a little small talk. I handed him my card and DL with 40 dollars in it and even before i could finish my sentence he had told me that they were booked up and he wasnt able to help me out. It was a very busy weekend though, and I spoke with some guy that checked in on sunday and they upgraded him for free, he said he never offered any money……I guess the best time for upgrades would be during the week or a slow weekend and i will try it again.

Desk clerk was efficient, took the $20 and whispered that he would see what he could do. Spend about five minutes looking, and told me they were all booked up and the couldn’t find anything better for me. Returned the $20 with my room key. It’s okay…he tried.

Tipped:  $40 Upgraded to  North Tower  from  South Tower 

Had 2 rooms booked for 3 nights in the South Tower. My wife laid down the sandwich and asked for any upgrades. We got North Tower with no view. I dont care about a view, im not going to vegas to look out a window.

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  North Tower  from  South Tower @ $59/nt 

North Tower rooms are closer to the casino than the South Tower rooms. The rooms are bigger and comes with a 42″ Plasma TV and goose down pillows and comforters! Way more than 20 bucks worth, and a Royal Flush on top of that!

Tipped:  $20 Upgraded to  North tower  from  South Tower 

We were booked for South Tower, 3 nights with a buy 2, get 3rd night free promo. Checked in early about 11:30 AM. I slipped her the $20 in the license/credit card sandwich and politely asked if any complimentary upgrades were available. We got upgraded to a North Tower with not much of a view but we didn’t care. Nice room, the Nugget rules.
