    Vegas hotels free upgrade (20 dollars)

    Has anyone used the 20 dollar sandwich trick at hotels in vegas? (CC, Drivers license, and 20 dollars inbetween). And then ask for any complimentary upgrades

    My friend said it works all the time.
    Any use this idea before?

    Yes, although on busier weekends you might need to pay a little more(i.e. New Year's)

    They had a thread about this about a year ago. I have thought about trying it here in Colorado and in Vegas, but I always seem to get the old grumpy penetrates and i reconsider. You can read about success and failure stories.

    I was lucky to get the gay guy at the front desk. Straight myself, I went to work and flirted. Complimented him in his new haircut. We laughed and had fun. I didn't even need to give a $20 and was upgraded to a suite. Score. I might even call him later!

    i hope this guy does better at gambling!

    Booked for a week so tried $50 instead of $20. The lady behind the registration desk didn't bat an eyelid when she matter-of-factly said "Sorry, nothing available". And that was that.

    Clearly if you're staying at The Wynn, Caesars, Bellagio, or even Mandalay Bay... That sandwich better have a $50 in between. They aren't going to take $20's

    I use this all the time, generally its tougher to get a good upgrade if you're staying longer than 3 days. Has worked everytime except once for me, used it at Bally's, Rio, Venetian, Caesars, Planet Hollywood.

    I'm just wondering if you even have to slip the 20?
    Maybe you can just ask for upgrades and they will give them to you

    Most places give the desk agents bonuses for getting a guest to spring for an upgrade. A $20 tip is a waste of money. Not going to get you a baller kind of room anyways.
