Las Vegas Hotel: tipping at check-in for upgrade?

[SeaWolf]

There's an extensive thread on FlyerTalk in the Las Vegas forum that documents people's success at various hotels, so it might be worth having a look there to see if your hotel is one where that practice usually works.

Thanks my friend - actually I got free upgrade last year at Flamingo from GO Room to 3 roomed suite - I did post pics - suite was big enough to play footy in.

Worked with a $20 yesterday at Aria. Got 'complimentary' upgraded to an awesome high floor strip view room. Money well spent

Worked a treat for us last week, also at the Aria. Tipped the check-in lady $100, 3 rooms, 5 nights and all got upgraded!

Was that $100 presented pre or post the clerk's decision to upgrade you?

Pre. You'll have to tip them first to increase your chances of getting an upgrade.

I'm at the Palazzo in April with the family. Don't want to risk a scene but I'll have a think about it. Cheers.

If you are in one room it's worth parting with $30. Sounds a bit weird here but it's very very common over there. If they can't find you an upgrade (which I doubt), they can always throw something else in for you eg a fridge etc so you are not really risking anything

Certainly not risking losing any morals .... as you apparently think bribery is OK.
