[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1312197, member: 10619"] When you check in, you sandwich a folded $20 bill between your driver's license and check card, making sure you can see the denomination of the bill. When the clerk asks for the DL and card, you hand it over asking "Are there any available upgrades?". If no (or they won't/can't accept it) they'll say "I'm sorry, I cannot accept this" and hand you back your twenty. If so, they'll say "let me see what we have available" and they'll type away on their computers for 4 hours, write down a few room numbers, and then present you with an upgraded room while they pocket the $20. Last year when I did it at Planet Hollywood, the upgraded room was at least $20 more PER night, and we stayed for a week, so it works out pretty well, when it works. I didn't try it this year because we had an upgraded suite already, nor did I try it in our second hotel last year (Monte Carlo) because we already had a strip view. [/QUOTE]
