He complained about her "flapping her gums" after her long wait in line. I could see she was having a great time chatting and laughing with the lady behind the counter. At first we were upset because our rooms were supposed to be connecting but they were across the hall. We weren't upset after seeing the view of the whole strip from our corner window!!!!!

Going to Vegas for my birthday, too. I prefer solo travel, too. I love to stroll, people watch, eat and drink, gamble, then come back to a nice property w a room w a view, a pool, etc. After refresh, just go down to the lobby and begin again. Will stay at the Plaza, downtown. Also let the hotel know you need shuttle from the airport & back give them 72 hr notice, will have better luck on that.

Can vouch for this hack! Our last trip to Vegas we stayed at the Mirage. Checked in at 11:00 Monday morning. I jokingly asked if we could get an upgraded room with a soaking tub, and maybe a view of the strip. Our concierge came back with a booklet showing us the floor plan of a penthouse suite, usually priced at about $800 per night. He gave us the room for $625 total, and we were there Monday-Friday! Seriously a vegas trip of a lifetime, we will never forget!! It doesn’t hurt to ask!!

The way I see it is if I go in the middle of the week for the price of a plane ticket and my hotel room for 3 or 4 nights only cost me “$100” then it’s worth the risk, but I like to gamble obviously.

I hand over a $20 with my ID and let them know I appreciate them and their service. Then let the chips fall where they may.

Very good advice on this subject. Good attitude goes a long way as well, being aggressive boots the possibility right out. And yes some agents set aside a couple good rooms just in case someone is nice and tips them well. It won't work if they're sold out, for a very obvious reason, so check rooms for sale while in line.

I usually drop a $50 tip and get my resort fees dropped when I stay at the palazzo or Venetian

Because of inflation you think the tip would go up $40 because $20 just gonna buy someone a hamburger meal at Johnny Rockets!

Tips aren’t just for upgrades. They can also waive resort fees, which can amount to $50+ per day and add food credit to your stay. There may not be upgrades available but you can save money by giving money. Also upgrades only work if the hotel isn’t full. So don’t expect an upgrade during holidays. If you get an upgrade during a peak time it means you already had that room assigned to you.

Stayed at the Bellagio booked with a platinum amex so upgrade is "supposed" to be automatic but it didn't happen really. We just got the choice to get a renovated room. I'm glad I didn't tip for that

Went to Vegas for the first time again in something inside of 10 years or so with my gf and we booked a weekend at the west gate I gave the receptionist a $50 and asked if we can possibly get a higher floor and she upgraded up to a better/bigger room with a view of the strip AND an extended day I wish I could go back to being there for the first time again 😭

Business traveler here: be nice to everyone you work with… hotel staff, flight attendants, servers, and bartenders have long memory. If you’re kind and tip well they will remember you and look out for you if you treat them well

Look up the different rooms before you go, and when checking in ask how much to upgrade to the specific room you want. I’ve got 2bedroom suites before for an extra $100.

We got a Suite at the Venetian Hotel for $250.00 a night because of a Connection, It was Awesome 😂

We tip every time we go to Vegas and most of the time we have comped rooms at Palazzo and Cosmo which has helped us get upgraded to higher floors or even helped us get out of paying resort fees, a tip goes a long way and you're probably going to lose that money gambling anyways so who cares.

Good tips 👍

My experience tipping for an upgrade: you showed the Luxor, there are no upgrades there. That place is hell.

Sometimes if there isn’t a room upgrade they will give you resort credit. I did that last trip and they gave me $100 resort credit which was fine since I rack up a lot of resort charges during my stay.

Just getting a higher floor (I don't care about the view, its just quieter) away from the elevators/ice machine would be vastly appreciated. I'm fine with keeping the same room I paid for if they can somehow manage the other requests.

I tried this before a long time ago. The guy looked uncomfortable and said they can't give me an upgrade. Never doing that again. Now i just talk to my host.

They sometimes give you your tip back. If they can't do an upgrade, they'll just say did you want smaller bills for this? And you're free to say yes and get back your money. I just let them keep it since I'll prob lose that in a minute on the floor and they'll likely have a better use for it. One time, I let them keep it and they gave me a $50 voucher for the gift shop so it worked out.

My husband was a front desk agent at Mandalay Bay. You are much more likely to get an upgrade if you are polite and courteous. If you pass that $20 , but then proceed to be rude and demanding, they have no obligation to upgrade you, especially if there’s a big event going on in town or the hotel. A little kindness goes a long way.

To me the upgrade is pointless, I just need a clean room with a bathroom. If you use the kiosk To check in at Caesars Palace you can get an upgrade for just $10……

Front Desk is NOT a tipped position. A 'tipped position' is one where tips are expected and pay reflects that. Think bellhop, bartender, cocktail waitress. Front desk makes more than all of those. Also, the hotel tracks those upgrades. Whether or not you get one is more based on you player club level than anything else. Signed, A Strip Bartender with a Strip Concierge wife.

i dont necessarily agree an upgrade will be harder to come by on a weekend. Standard rooms are easier to sell. it's pretty common to upgrade guests to open up availability for the easier to sell rooms.
