Front Desk Tip says it will work 85% of the time, but the last reports are from 2011. Most of the rest are 2009 and earlier.

Do you plan on checking in soon? If so, let us know how it works out. Alot of times, its timing. Chances are better checking in mid week (slow) instead of Fri or Sat. The Wynn is to upscale for my price range. Be interested in success at lower scale downtown Vegas hotels recently.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

Front desk tip is very unreliable in my opinion. I feel the posters who think they won are more likely to post than those who failed.

Thanks. We'll be checking in on a Sunday, leaving on a Friday. I was thinking of trying the sandwich, but now I'm leaning toward paying. I want to ensure a room away from the nightclubs. And the "panoramic view" is only $10/night. I have no idea what that is, but hey: $10. This way to the egress.

The $20 sandwich works at The Wynn. $20 got us an upgrade to the top floor, and a panoramic view instead of standard. Right now the panoramic is $20/night, so we saved $80 and won't have anyone walking on our ceiling.
My exact words, after greeting with a smile, were, "Thank you for helping me with my effort to get as quiet a room on as high a floor as possible. If the room happens to be an upgrade, I thank you even more."

I have a feeling you could of just asked like you did, and not paid the extra $20. Its fine you tipped, no big deal. I just don't think it was the tip that did it. I have been upgraded many times with out even asking.

I agree. OTOH, I was with a large group that had been given its own registration area, and everyone else I've taked to is on the 9th floor, the 11th, etc. You could still very well be right. At least I didn't get told no.
