So, What is the Twenty Dollar Trick?

The twenty dollar bill trick is sweeping the travel industry and becoming extremely popular, especially in Las Vegas. When you check into a hotel you simply slip the front desk clerk a $20 bill with your credit card, while asking "Do you have any complimentary upgrades available?". The general rule of thumb is that the front desk clerk will check for upgrades and if they cannot find anything they will return the $20 tip, making it risk free!

Elizabeth (Sep 4, 11) - SUCCESS (corner high end suite)

We gave the twenty dollar sandwich to the desk agent and he comped us spa and gym entrances for our entire three day stay. I know they are 20 bucks a person each day, so we scored. The spa was lovely, and a great way to sweat!

Bri (Sep 4, 11) - SUCCESS (Pallazo Suite)

Checked-in about 11am handed the agent (asian guy early 30's) my id, when asked for my credit card addded the $20 and asked if any complimentary room upgrades were available. He thanked me for my consideration and asked for my room preference. I stated best non-smoking available, he offered a suite on the 44th floor of the newer palazzo, with strip view. Made sure I was happy then took the $20. Overall money well spent.

Was upgraded to a Palace Tower room from a Forum Tower room. I was glad we got upgraded. The Palace Tower rooms were newer than the Forum Tower rooms

Teo (Sep 4, 11) - SUCCESS (Adjoining Double Queen w/ View)

The $20 was gone in a blink of an eye and the "I'll see what I can do" was quickly followed with a "there is normally a charge for both adjoining rooms and strip view". I know that the difference between what we paid for & received in only a few hundred and not a big deal, but it still was great to have it.
