In my experiences if they are unable to upgrade you they will return the 20 |

If you're going to float someone $100 then it better be someone who has the authority to make the changes you're looking for AND accepts gratuities.
Middle to upper management COULD pretty much get you anything you asked them for... but most of them would be more concerned w/ your level of play than in getting a grat.
Front desk employees have a smaller window of changes they could offer you... they tend to take care of the people who take care of them.
Mostly, like everything else in Vegas, what you get is based on luck. LOT's of properties over book. If you happen to show up AND your reserved room is available THEN you'll get your room.

#19 Posted: 1/15/2011 4:38:11 PM vegas gourmet is a spending snob.
he believes the word "budget" is similiar to satan.
Im pretty fuckin well off and I still ask how much garbage cost. If I was fuckin Bill Gates I would still girl about prices. Principle and Common Sense are why I have more than I should -- not throwing caution to the wind and saying darn it.
When you buy more - you get more - when you get more - you save money so you can BUY MORE. |

"Over book" was probably the wrong term... What I meant was, properties will take your reservation but they won't block off your room. If a property has ten, non-smoking rooms w/ king size beds... they'll take more than ten reservations.

I prefer to arrange a folded $20 bill and place it next to my wallet on the counter, more discreet and less embarrassing if a deal can't be reached. |

Not quite certain what the issue is here, Kelly........and I do not believe that I need to justify my thoughts...however....
I believe that value and quality are the two concepts needed for any decision in spending...whether it's a meal, a car, or a hooker.
You can research my posts and you'll find comments about both ends of the spectrum of spending...because, IMHO, that is the beauty of Vegas. The ability to experience both ends of the spending spectrum and find a quality that is difficult, if not impossible, to find in any other hi-profile vacation venue. |
