A twenty dollar sandwich got me a red room upgrade, a sick view of Bellagio Fountains, a roll away bed, and a DAMN good time in Sin City!
Its quite simple actually. Simply fold a twenty dollar bill in between your credit card and ID and ask if there are any available upgrades. Obviously a little small talk is in order. Use your charm and personality, but more importantly don't forget the magic words, "we'll take care of you!" to help seal the deal.
All you really have to do is ask for what you want and let the sandwich do the rest. Ask for ridiculous upgrades like a indoor gym, a penthouse suite, or mirrored ceilings. Anything to make them laugh and break up the monotony of checking in boring tourist after boring tourist.
After some small talk, you'll see them banging away on their keyboard. Continue to chat with them and let them know how excited you are about the weekend and that all you want to do is have a good time. Heck, invite them up to have a drink and let them know that you think they're awesome. TRUST ME...It pays to be nice!
Before you know it they'll show you a picture of the red room and let you know that its typically a $40 upgrade per night but for you its on the house. If you're really nice and he or she likes you, then they'll probably ask if you need a roll away bed ($30 upgrade) and late check-out too. I took advantage of both, with a total savings for a 2 night stay reaching a whopping $110. Can I get an Amen!
The TDS (twenty dollar sandwich) will pretty much work at any hotel or club so use it wisely and you'll be livin large baby!
