I put the $20. between my drivers license and my CC and asked the clerk if she had any renovated rooms on a high floor overlooking the Bellagio fountains. We got a room on the 25th floor which was a lot nicer than the room that we got last year. It was completely renovated and had a large flat screen TV. We had a great view of the Eiffel Tower and the fountains. In the past there was an extra charge for rooms facing the strip.
Worked like a charm. She went through the whole bit with calling a supervisor on the phone. The room was very nicely done in shades of deep brown and red. Very comfortable king sized bed. Killer HDTV. Large bathroom with seperate bath/shower.
Held the 20 prominently in my hand and asked for the upgrade. The front desk lady promptly told me all the suites were sold out. She was not helpful at all. Then when we get to our room, I find we have a view of the parking lot! My original reservation request was for a view of the Bellagio fountains. Oh well!
Worked like a charm. Checked in with 2 friends in separate rooms, I’m the only one who tipped, I was therefore the only one who got upgraded, so I know it worked. Great having an HD tv for March Madness…
Very nice and accommodating – said the room he was upgrading us to would normally cost $70 more. Graciously said thank you as he slipped $20 into his pocket!
Did the $20 sandwich trick and was upgraded to a Lemans suite. Was all excited etc until I posted my results on tripadvisor when someone informed me that was standard for Harrah’s gold card members. Oh well, my wife and I loved the suite with jacuzzi tub in her bathroom. No view but who cares? We were up til 5am every morning and didn’t go to vegas to look at a bunch of flashing lights.
TRIED TO CHECK IN AT ABOUT 11:30 AM. DID THE SANDWICH LIKE THE WEB SITE SAID, AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THE COULD DO BECAUSE THEY WHERE FULL, SO WE STARTED SOME SMALL TALK AND HE WENT TO THE BACK ROOM FOR ABOUT 10 MIN, HE CAME BACK AN OFFERED ME A P ROOM SUITE WITH A STRIP VIEW FOR $29.00 EXTRA A DAY NORMALY IT WOULD HAVE BENN $89.00 EXTRA A DAY SO I TOOK IT. WELL LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS WORTH IT , WE HAD A GREAT VEIW NICE ROOM WITH MINI BAR AND 42″ PLASMA T.V., THE CLERK GAVE ME THE $50.00 BACK AND SAID IT WOULD NOT TAKE IT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A TRUE FREE UPGRADE, I STILL GAVE HIM $20.00 FOR HIS HELP.
Worked just like this site said- we were checking in around noon and celebrating an anniversary but are sure the $20 was what did the trick. I specifically wanted 1) a renovated room and 2) to be able to watch the Bellagio fountains from our room and we got both! Even could hear the music so knew when the fountains were starting. So glad I had read about this and also had checked TripAdvisor to know what rooms would be best to try for.
Checked in around 11:30 am on Tuesday Dec 11th, slipped a 20 between DL and CC and flashed the 20 to the clerk while asking if there were complimentary upgrades available. He snickered and said “No, only paid updgrades $60/night for a Fountain View Room with Concierge Access. $85/night for a Suite with Concierge access.” We took the $60/night and requested a recently rennovated room and were told that those are reserved for high rollers. The clerk was very by the book.
Found this site the night before I left…decided to slip a $50.00 instead of the recommended $20.00…asked if any comp upgrades…she walked into back office for 5 minutes and said that she could comp me a renovated room usually reserved for Diamond Club card members and usually an added $60.00 a night…said it would be on a high floor with wonderful view of Tower and the Bellagio Fountains…said she could only get me a suite if she charged me an extra $80.00 a night…I declined and took the fountain view room…she then handed me back my $50.00 and apologized for not being able to get me a suite..room was great with great view…renovated with huge LCD TV…
