1. What is the Twenty Dollar Trick?

   The Twenty Dollar Trick is sweeping the nation and is extremely popular in Las Vegas. It is the cheap man's way to stay in a luxury suite. When you check in to your hotel for the night you simply ask the front desk clerk, "do you have any complimentary upgrades available?", while slipping them a $20 bill. Typically it is best if you ask for a specific room to be upgraded to.

   For more information take a look at the Official Twenty Dollar Trick Web Site.

    

2. Now that I know what The Twenty Dollar Trick is, how should I do the Twenty Dollar Trick?

   We have found that it is best to wrap a $20 bill around your driver's license and hand it to the front desk clerk while asking for an upgrade. Keeping things as discrete as possible makes everything easy.

    

3. I hear it is best to ask for specific rooms, what room should I ask for?

   We recommend you always ask for an upgrade to a specific room, if you do not some attendants simply tell you they gave you a good view as an upgrade. If you give them a goal, they will do their best to make you happy and earn the $20. This varies per hotel, The Twenty Dollar Trick (http://www.thetwentydollartrick.com) has built a comprehensive resource that will recommend specific rooms.

    

4. Does casino management have a problem with The Twenty Dollar Trick?

   We have not heard anything official from hotels regarding their upgrade policies. If they have an excess of rooms for an evening, the front desk has a lot of leeway on what room they can put you in, but if the hotel is at sold out, or close, they generally cannot do too much.
