I booked the place off priceline for Mandalay Bay (cheapest room available) Then I went to check-in and when I spoke with the front desk guy, I sandwiched a $20 between my credit card and ID and asked for a FREE upgrade. He moved me to 750 sf suite at The Hotel. I checked the prices and I saved a little, but the room itself was gigantic. \n\nI would suggest tipping more for longer stays and for a bigger room. Just book the cheapest and grease the guy. Obviously its a gamble, I was lucky to get it for one night on Friday night of superbowl weekend. \n\nNow, I utilize this tactic whenever I am going to take my date or girlfriend out. I book the cheapest room and grease the guy a little more so that I can get a better room for the buck.\n\nObviously, if your a big gambler get the room comped, but otherwise, do this.\n\nWhat else is to say about The Hotel? Its an awesome place. Clean, modern and I like how its a great alternative to Palazzo, Cosmo, Aria, and Vdara... but easier to get a room since those casinos steal most of the spotlight.\n\nAlso checkout Strip Steak. Awesome place for steaks, though I heard STK at the Cosmopolitan is even better."^^ . . . "1"^^ . "4"^^ .
