10th Anniversary - The Orleans - How Do I Ask For an Upgrade?

1) Ask whoever is at the front desk to order a cab to a real hotel like the Bellagio.

2) As you are walking to your room with your wife smiling from ear to ear, remember how smart that fine, young fellow Nesalk is who gave you the tip.

3) Enjoy!

Come on man, it's your tenth anniversary. Make it special for God's sake.

I have a better idea. Just get checked into any room but don't unpack. If you can stay up past 10 pm, call the front desk and tell them you are getting bitten by bedbugs. This actually happened to me when the Orleans first opened. They will immediately send a bellman up to your room and if you get lucky....set you up with a suite. It helps if the hotel is almost sold out since they will be forced to set you up in a suite. If you get on the elevator and the bellman punches the 20-21st floor, you know you got lucky!



And this is why.
Where you choose to stay and gamble is your choice, not others who are ass-backwards in this forum.

I too agree about asking your host except I would do it in person when you arrive. Even if your host is not on duty. I think you have a better chance of a spur of the moment upgrade.
Enjoy your trip and Happy Anniversary.

This is a variation of "Pulling a Glenwiggy".


Just make sure that upgraded room comes with a King instead of two standard beds.
