Was offered a strip view first with 2 queen beds when King was booked. Politely declined first offer and was offered the room with floor to ceiling windows with bed choice. View of Venetian, South Strip including the Fountains and Mirage.
Also offered two glasses of champagne "bought by the desk" from room service. Wait was 90 mins when we called so we didn't bother. |

Tried the trick and the girl actually laughed at us. Part of the problem may have been that, after approaching the counter, we realized that the desk manager was standing a couple of feet away. She was wearing a different colored jacket than the rest of the staff. |

Booked original room through a discount flight/room package. (Orbitz) Asked for any complimentary upgrades and got this upper floor room w/o showing a tip. Tipped the very friendly lady anyway. Late check-in, slow period, may have had something to do with it, however. Super friendly staff from check-in through check-out. |

This was my first time trying the $20 trick and I was a little apprehensive. When checking in we at first received a standard view room on a lower floor. I explained that we were there for a special occasion and asked if they did anything special for birthdays. The clerk said she would send up a bottle of champagne. I then asked if there were any complimentary upgrades available and slipped a $20 bill to the person checking us in. She smiled, did some magic on her keyboard and said she could upgrade us to a strip view room on the 32nd floor w/ a key required elevator. She said the room was normally $30 more a night. She also arranged for us to call room service any time we wanted the champagne. The view from the room was fantastic overlooking the pool and great strip view.
It was a pleasant experience! |

I checked in on a Thursday afternoon, and tried the $20 Trick. The hotel was out of suites, but they allowed me to pick a room with a fantastic view and also gave me a complimentary bottle of champagne. I was satisfied even though it wasn't a suite upgrade! |

was staying for 7 nights so thought $20 would get me know where. was offered a room on top floor but told some work going on up there so went for 31st floor, got a strip view. not a suite but was very nice. think the $20 would have gotten me the same room though. |
