We had booked the West Wing King Room with the hopes of dropping $100 to get a better room. We checked-in around 3pm and the lines were long, didn’t have a choice, ended up with a guy in his 30’s. Slipped him the $100, and asked about upgrades. He typed for a couple minutes then handed it back and said there was nothing he could do. Not headed back to MGM any time soon, the West Wing is horrible.

Booked Grand King, upgraded to Strip View Grand Queen I guess? 2 days of stay. Not a best upgrade, but just enjoyed the first time experience on this trick. Checked in at around 12:30 AM on a Friday night/Saturday early morning. Concert going on that night (Jay Chou, one of the most popular Chinese singers). A lot of people waiting in line for checking in. Do a sandwich trick after he asked for ID, and asked is there any room upgrade. He walked away and talked to his manager, came back saying there might be no room for upgrade and returned $20 back. Then he gave us two small bottles of water, walked away again and came back saying we got green light. He saw we were holding the $20 and he said “I’ll take that at the end.” Everything went great and we did a handshake (not in Chandler Bing’s way) and gave him the bill. Awesome experience!

I didn’t see the options listed, but I booked a standard room and was upgraded to a Stay Well room. I didn’t select a particular clerk, I just went with the next available and was friendly!

Gave the the 20$ Sandwich and asked kindly for a nice and decent room as we stayed 3 nights. The lady found the 20 looked at me funny and put it back on the desk, only using my ID and credit card. Apparently no upgrade available or she refrained to take it because of another colleague standing nearby? Or I might have failed 😉

Gave the the 20$ Sandwich. The lady looked at me funny and gave the 20 back. She then asked if I would like to pay for an upgrade.

Me and my friend approached a new counter which had only opened for a few moments. 2 Couples infront of me got checked in then I approached the desk. The lady seemed nice, I’d say around late 20’s, Black, 5″5ft, Curly shoulder length hair. I said we are here to check in and gave both my passport, credit card, booking information and $40.00 in my passport sticking out. She bagan typing away and looked and smiled at me, I thought yes I’m in! I asked if there was a chance of a complimentary upgrade to which she said yes there would be, she typed away and said there is a suite for only $27.00 extra per night, I again said again any complimentary upgrades to which she said no she could not do that and handed by my $40.00.
