Las Vegas $20 Trick for Hotel Room Upgrades

The Las Vegas $20 trick is nothing more than giving a tip to the front desk clerk of your hotel during check in while asking for an upgrade.

To my knowledge, this phenomenon does not work in other cities because the culture of tipping to get what you want is not as prevalent in other cities through the United States as in Las Vegas.

Getting The Palazzo Hotel On Priceline: The first thing anyone should know about 5-star hotels on Priceline is that the Palazzo is located in Priceline’s “Strip North” bidding zone. If you’re bidding on a 5-star hotel in this zone, you should be aware that there are other 5 star hotels that you could get.
