$20??
Jon MW:
Any luck anyone?
I didn"t tip at Ballys and just asked nicely for a room that was on a high floor.
That got me an upgrade from a Classic room in the South Tower to a deluxe room in the North Tower.
Whilst definitely an upgrade the North tower had better rooms but the South had better views - so swings and roundabouts.
Scheduled check in time for Caesars was 15:00, my first test of their customer service was that I decided I"d much rather check in at about 08:30. And when I did so I made sure to include a $20 note in my passport so that when they asked for ID I asked if they could check for any complimentary upgrades.
Binkety Bink - Upgrade-aments; I had a classic room in the Forum Tower booked and my tip managed to get me an upgrade to a junior suite (although I notice on the website they call them premium rooms). It doesn"t alter the fact that they"re absolutely enormous and they normally cost over double the price of the Forum Tower classic rooms.
So I was completely wrong about Caesars group cracking down on free upgrades - I"m not too fussed about it though ;D

Nice move Jon WP
Thought that it would be a difficult task given that I was staying for a week, and besides, I was so excited when we checked in I nearly forgot my own name let alone ask for an upgrade. Next time I"ll give it a go.
