Stayed 3 nights total with 2 rooms connected. Thought it be better to give $40 instead of regular $20 since of 2 rooms. Young lady said they were pretty much booked, but asked if we wait for her to call upstairs. 5-10 mins of wait, but she got us the upgrade!
Clerk said I didn’t have to do that – said the North Tower was booked full – so maybe that is why it didn’t work.
We thought we’d DOUBLE the trick to 40 to ensure an upgrade! We had at check in three people, and thought we might be able to score a room or suite with just a little more space. No such luck. Trick was presented correctly, but she just said “sorry we’re booked up, and the only other thing we have is luxury suites [or something to that effect] and we don’t comp those.” So we got a standard South Tower room. We retained the 40 bucks, and she seemed pretty unhappy about that, but so it goes.
Did the usual routine. Transaction was very discreet with no problems at all.
5 night stay. Everything went just as planned/described.
Lady at the front desk was real nice. I stumbled and mumbled over asking for an upgrade but we got a nice north tower room with a huge flat screen tv.
Arrived very late on Friday night and asked if any north tower upgrades were available. Amazing success! Thanks Golden Nugget!
I checked in about 8:30 PM and stepped up with $20 sandwich and asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available for our anniversary. Clerk chuckled and said that they were really cracking down. He said three nights was too long, so I told him we could move after the second night. The third day we went down and received a smaller upgrade to North Tower King room with pool view. I have the feeling that a larger tip would have landed all 3 nights.
Asked the lady if they were busy, she said “yes” then handed my license and credit card with $20 and said “There wouldn’t be a chance of a complimentary upgrade, possibly the North Tower”? She checked and found a room in the North Tower and explained to us that it was designed for wheel chair access and we said ok. The Clerk next to her stated he had just gave that block out. She looked some more and asked if we would like to stay in one of the Spa Suites but it would be just for the night. I said yes immediately and left the twenty close to her, she asked if I wanted change and I told her that it was for her help. She was very nice. The next day at checkout/checkin i tried it on an older white lady. She said sorry nothing was available.
Used VIP check in. Clerk did not keep the $20.
