We checked in around 8:30pm, there was a line, so we had no choice of clerk. But when we asked “is there any chance for a complimentary upgrade?”, she smirked as if there were not that many options and said, let me see what I can do. We had booked a carnival room with two queen beds, she was able to get us upgraded to a room on the 24th floor with a view of the strip. At first I did not think it was all that great of an upgrade, but then the volcano show at TI started. Great advice! Thanks!

Arrived late 11pm. Went to the next available clerk (Female, 30ish). Ask politely for a complementary room upgrade as I handed her my sandwich. She knew the game and proceeded to say she got me a nice room. I was amazed when I got to my room, 30th floor overlooking the strip. 2 Room suite with Jacuzzi tub, wet bar. Looked it up later and found out it was the executive suite. Great upgrade for the week stay. Well worth trying to get any upgrade.

I came in and asked about early check in on a Monday morning and told $50. I decided to check my bags with luggage and go play. Later I went back again and this $20 for early check and gave in. The attendant was very persistent in using kiosk to check in. When I had trouble they eventually checked me in person at the desk. I showed the $20 in hand and asked about complimentary upgrade to early check in waiver. She checked the computer and told me she could get me a better room view of the pool and up 9 floors, but the early check in fee would remain. I tipped the $20. The room was only a slight upgrade.

Came in about 10:30 am on a Monday during COVID At the front desk with an older woman I asked if I could try to check in Early I gave her my credit card I’d and Caesars Rewards Platinum card before I could ask for a comp upgrade she saw the $20 handed it back said let me see what I can do before I take that she came back and told me we could do an upgrade to the highroller view for $5 extra per night plus taxes instead of $25 per night for a total of $15 plus the resort fees I was already paying and no early check-in fee as I was staying three nights Comp already based on play which is what I took along with the $20 I gave her I could’ve also done a suite for $50 per night which would normally have gone for $150 she said room she gave me was on the 29th floor as I asked for the highest floor available at the time which she said anything on higher floor would be a suite also said the room she gave me was a larger the normal room but not a studio but it used to be a suite before valley tower was renovated the room was nice
so I didn’t get a free upgrade but it still saved me money especially as I’ve heard the early check-in fee can be as much as $50 before 4pm

It was a busy checkin time about 6pm. There was a long line and I didn’t have a choice of clerk. I handed the $20 sandwhich when asked for an ID. The clerk chuckled and asked what that was for. I said if there was anyway we could get a complimentary upgrade. She quickly handed the $20 back and said we couldn’t do a complimentary upgrade but she could offer me a upgrade for half the price. I had a choice of rooms in the valley view tower high roller or strip view. I chose to wait for a strip view room and was charged half of what the upgrade cost.

Was offered a two-night complimentary room Tuesday and Wednesday at CET’s web site (TotalRewards). Was given a choice of “Deluxe” or “PremiumPetStay.” Though I don’t have a pet (and wouldn’t bring a pet to Vegas anyway), I chose the latter, it being a better quality room. I arrived really early, at 11am, and decided to check my bags rather than seeing if I could check in so early. I waited until 3pm before checking in. I stood in line, handed the clerk my license, CC, and a $20 tip below it, and asked for any upgrade and also the possibility of a late check out. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a suite or even a very fancy room. The clerk told me I could check out at 1pm instead of 11am. I wanted 3pm, but she told me to call down at 1pm the day of my check out. (I didn’t end up doing that, I checked out at 1pm anyway.) The room was OK, nothing awesome, but overall decent. I really can’t complain. A $20 tip on a comp room for 2 nights is $10/night. Yet, I don’t think it was an upgrade from what I already booked (no junior suite, no executive suite) and my tip only bought me 2 extra hours before I had to leave for the aiport for my 5:30pm flight. I ended up going to a different hotel/casino and storing my bag there. The verdict is mixed. (Side note: I’ve personally had better success with the $20 tip elsewhere.)

We checked in on a Sunday early afternoon. I put the $20 between the ID and credit card and asked if there were any “Complimentary Upgrades Available”. Easy and the staff the whole stay was amazing! Going again next month for 5 nights…only $157 total!.

Arrived in Vegas around 11 and attempted to check in at noon on the Thursday before Memorial day. The place was dead and I was hoping the trick would work despite recent negative reviews. I made small talk with the woman and thought I stood a chance. I handed over the sandwich and the money was immediately returned. She tried to get to me purchase the upgrade but I declined. I ended up with a high floor room in the Carnival tower.

We got into Harrah’s at around 3pm, so just before Check-in for the day starts. The line was pretty darn long and we had to wait for more than half an hour. They staff was clearly shorthanded, only three people were trying to minimize the damage and unfortunately many guests didn’t exactly help to speed up things (mildly saying: they acted their worst).

Finally, we were called over to the information desk where we were served by a very nice gal in her early 30s. She immediately pocketed the twenty I had slipped her, smiled and thanked me. She then took a look into her computer and said she was really sorry that she could only give us a petite suite and that one had two queen beds instead of one king.
We thought about it for a second and accepted. Turned out to be a very nice room with a perfect view of the Volcano at the Mirage, comfortable beds, clean and pretty spacious, although I don’t think it should be called a “suite” but more a deluxe room. However I’m not going to argue about definitions, it was a 20 well spent.

Checked in about 11 am into our standard room. Next day my hysband went to front desk told them he wanted to surprise me with a room upgrade. She gave us an upgrade that cost us a little under $300.00 for 4 nights. We stayed Tues-Sun. in a VIP Jacuzzi Suite. We did not give her any money. They were wonderful!!
