5 weeks to Vegas :D

[Simon Galloway]

So everyone tipping $20 for a room upgrade looks a winner but what if you slipped  $100. Are there limits to how much of an upgrade they can give you or would you probably end up with the same upgrade you'd get slipping the $20

If you are staying for 5 weeks, there's not a lot they can do... gonna be a hard one to convince their boss why they used their discretion on that...  If you are staying Mon-Thurs on a quietish week, that's different.  It's all about thinking what am I asking for here.  If you are asking for $3k's worth of complimentaries, waving a $20 isn't really gonna cut it.

Don't "slip in" anything.  Ask what complimentary upgrades are available to you, make sure to let them know that you "tip for good service" and above all... spend 5 minutes on the friggin internet to make sure you understand the difference between the different room types in the hotel where you are staying.  If the clerk says "what are you looking for" then... "err dunno like,summat a bit fancier" isn't the best answer.  Depending on how long your stay is, whether or not it is a holiday weekend etc, have a clear idea of what you'd like.  "I'd like a strip view south facing high floor, near the elevators please."  Or, "I'd like a Deluxe resort troom (if such a room type exists and it is in fact an upgrade) please."  Or "I'd like a Corner Suite please, but I'd be doubly appreciative if it was a Panoramic Suite"  As to how ambitious that is will largely depend on how long your stay is, which clerk you get, how busy the hotel is, etc etc.

More can work Jason, depending on length of stay - when I was at Platninum for four weeks, I gave the guy $200 and said I'd appreciate any help with my stay. I got upgraded to massive suite, free wifi - was $10 a days as no resot fee - water and fruit in room every day.  Taxis were also a night mare - as off strip, so I got chatting to head man and after day one and a $50 tip they ran me everywhere in hotel courtesy car at no cost, just a small tip for whoever drove me. Obviously smaller place - but all the guys looked after me as I had them...best place I stayed in Vegas service wise.

Save your money and just flirt with the maid.

Extra coffee in the morning, no knocks before midday (not that it mattered to me tbf, as I'm in Vegas and sleeping is -EV) and a cheeky smile.

Nice bloke tbf.

20$ trick worked for me at the Palms recently.  Got upgraded from a standard room to a condo at Palms Place.  Was pretty sick.

Also sometimes the taxi lines are absolutely ridic.  You have a choice of getting a town car/limo or saying to the guy at the line I need to get out of here now and give him 10$ and then you'll have a cab within seconds.

i took 8 of my family and stars comped me two connecting Condos and was gonna ask you for any pics. Just googled images and got pics of same ones we had. Stand alone bath in master bedroom, marble bathroom and lounge diner, two balconies both looking in different directions etc. I thought it was excellent but assume its pretty std and you stayed in the same.

Are there some condos with infinity pool or were they just in the playboy tower?
