|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| By: Jake and Elise first time in vegas and first time trying the trick, have heard lots about it from a podcast figured i had to try, got a room on a corner with a view of the belliago fountains from one side and another view from the other window had a view up the strip the other direction, overall it was worth every penny for the view since we where there for 4 nights. | ||||||||||
| By: MagLev Advocate Tried the tip as described on check in before a busy Memorial weekend. Older attendant working, and flatly stated that she could not do upgrades, nor accept tips for them. Could have been the clerk, or the busy weekend. | ||||||||||
| By: Jesse I had originally booked a standard room for four nights (two comped nights with two nights at reduced rate). At check-in, I slipped the $20 in between my ID and CC and I was only able to utter "I was wondering if..." before the guy said "I'll see what I can do sir". He upgraded us to a Red Room on the 30th floor. Pretty nice room but the view was of absolute nothingness. Still worth it though as the bed seemed much more comfortable than those in the standard rooms. | ||||||||||

| By: gambler worked easily simply asked for a upgrade while holding folded twenty below my license where she could see it had it worked like a charm | ||||||||||
| By: Greg I was staying one night in a comped standard room. Upon check-in I asked if there were any suites available. I didn't sandwich the $20 between my DL and CC just held it in my other hand to make it viable to the young woman. After doing some searching she found us a room (750P to be exact) on the 7th floor. After giving us the keys I gave her the money. The funny thing is that she asked if I wanted change for the $20. I told her that it was a tip for her. In afterthought maybe I could have gotten the upgrade free. Great room and glad I did it. | ||||||||||
| By: Arne We checked in the day before Labor Day and I wasn't sure we would get upgraded. I handed Deborah a $20 and asked for a complimentary upgrade and got a 24th floor luxury room with a wonderful view of the fountain, tower and pool. | ||||||||||
| By: Tony The bill fell out as I handed it it her with my ID and credit card. She asked what it was for, I replied for you and I was wondering if there were any free upgrades. Before I had even finished my sentence she stated how the were no free upgrades and went on to list the prices for all the various upgrades I could pay for. She handed the twenty back to me. | ||||||||||
| By: Dave We stayed for 6 nights, including he 4th of July so I thought this may be a waste but decided it was worth a shot. Our reserved room was on a lower floor facing the back and we ended up with a recently renovated and larger room on the 28th floor (33 total in hotel) with a fantastic view of the fountains and of the Eiffel Tower. This set the tone for a great trip. | ||||||||||
| By: Tonya I'd reserved a standard room for 1 week and upon check-in, with a $20 bill sandwiched between my CC and ID, asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available. Since we needed a smoking room, we were offered a King suite with a Bellagio view which turned out to be a Calais Suite with a spectacular view of the fountains, Eiffel Tower and pool! | ||||||||||
| By: shartz I owe this site for this information, so I'll post my successful experience here. I stayed at Planet Hollywood. It wasn't in the dropdown list to select so I put Hotel Paris. Basically I had my $20 bill pre-placed between my CC and ID on the ride to the hotel. I walked up to the front desk by myself said hello etc... and just handed them my CC and ID together. I didn't say anything or ask about complimentary upgrades. I think most front desks are aware of the $20 Trick and they recognize when CC and ID's are given stacked together, to subtly check if there's money in between them. The person that helped me was very smooth and basically told me, he was going to put me on the 16th floor which is a resort suite with a view of the pool facing the strip. | ||||||||||
| By: mike Handed the lady "the sandwich", and made small talk. I asked if there were any upgrades, she said she would look. She never said anything about it, and then when we got to our room, it was the Le'Mans suite! | ||||||||||
| By: Scott I never said a word just handed her my ID and CC with a twenty at the back and she discretely dropped the bill to the side and took care of me! | ||||||||||
| By: G Worked like a charm, front desk worker asked if we wanted a suite but needed two beds so we took the room with a great strip view | ||||||||||
| By: Porgy Tirebiter Worked perfectly!! | ||||||||||
| By: Kurt Actually, PLANET HOLLYWOOD which isn't on your list. Worked like a charm, gave the guy at the registration the twenty, specifically asked if he had any "comp upgrades" available for our visit. I had checked online on upgrades for our stay and he maxed out the upgrades. Talked about how much I was going to gamble while he checked on availability and he had already prepared the keys and everything before getting the formality of approval of his mgr. Room had 100 sq feet extra space, bigger bathroom/flatscreen and a view of the strip. | ||||||||||
| By: Vegas Traveller Reserved a standard room. At check-in (on a Tues) asked for an upgrade after making small talk with a nice Columbian Check-in girl. She offered a high standard view room... but I asked specificall for a suite (no go) or a newly renovated "P room" with plasma, etc. When I got specific, she quickly got me the room I wanted.... it wouldn't be ready for 2 hours and I frowned, so she got me a Bellagio fountain view P room on the 27th floor right away. She refused the tip! | ||||||||||
| By: Jerry The clerk took the $20 happily and apologized that he couldn't give us a suite (P room) saying something about gettin scrutinized more on the suites nowadays, but he did give us our choice of 2 rooms with nice view. My wife chose the one on the 17th floor before I could open my mouth, but it was all about pleasing her anyway and we were quite satisfied. She's been to Vegas several times before we married and never had a room with a view before. Thanks for putting up this website. | ||||||||||
| By: ML Handed $20 bill between id and credit card and asked if upgrades were available. She said "of course" without batting an eye. She discreetly put the $20 bill in her drawer and upgraded us to the 31st floor with a view of the bellagio fountains. Another friend told me he asked for an upgrade without the tip and was told it would be an additional $40 per night. | ||||||||||
| By: RL Checked in very late 12am @ the hotel. served by a friendly blond young man and handed a folded $20 between id &CC. successfully given a strip view room originally needs $60/night. views of pool, Eiffel Tower & bellagio. great try n made my LV trip more excited and fun. Love it!!! | ||||||||||
| By: SWL Upgraded to a Luxury room, with an awesome view of the pool and tower! | ||||||||||
| By: Jason I just handed the CC and ID to the Clerk, and before I could ask for an upgrade, she said, "oh, you want a really nice room." I replied that that would be great, and we were on our way to the 31st floor. | ||||||||||
| By: Kim Arrived very early (7am) and waited to check in because nobody was trying to check in and thought we would have a better chance for a good upgrade. Checked in around 10am and set my license and CC with $20 bill visible between the two cards on the counter. I asked nicely if they had a red room upgrade available and right away she said "I don't think that will be a problem". She then noticed the $20 bill and asked what that was for... I told her "thats for you" she smiled, said thank you and informed me she put us in a corner "p" room that was renovated. The room had two large windows on either side of the room and lots of extra space... not to mention the 50" lcd hd tv and we had a straight view of the bellagio fountains on the 26th floor! Will tip the front desk from now on! | ||||||||||
| By: Will had a standard room booked for 1 week and on check in with CC and ID put €20 up and asked if there were any upgrades, was offered 2 queens with strip view, or king suite with strip view which i went for great room has really made the stay excellent so far | ||||||||||
