Sandwich Stats

[Matt Y]

I am seeing a lot of folks ask about sandwich success rates/stories for various hotels and rooms. DaveA posted this link in one of those threads, but I figured I would bring it to the attention of everyone, if it has been posted before and others already know, please disregard (also sticky?). It is a compilation of data regarding sandwich attempts at vegas hotels, including success rates. You can either read through to find actual stories from the hotel you are looking for, or just go to the latest stats summary update and see the latest percentages. Also, if JCers go ahead and post you sandwich attempts on there we could help boost the numbers and improve the statistics.

Thanks for the link - interesting. I have been reading here and it seemed alot of people were doing $50. But there almost every post says $20.

Will be making my 1st trip to Vegas since '97. Staying at Venetian - will probably give it a try w/20...

That's really cool, thanks!

Sandwich...

Flamingo - August 2010 = FAIL.
Mandalay Bay - December 2010 = FAIL.

Ironically, both times, I was denied, but ended up with a "better" room.

i recently got an upgrade in the beginning of march. Though it was at ballys. went from a classic room 450sqft to a grand room 831sqft all for 20 bucks for 5 days. totally worth it. also i heard its easier if you have a one bed instead of the two in a room.

There is very little information available for the group sandwich. We tried at NYNY and were shut down completely. At the Venetian I wondered the same thing and ended up not doing it. Here's my thinking: it would be hard for the clerk to upgrade multiple rooms within a vicinity of each other. On the other hand, if you go in separately, one or more may or may not succeed. This may end up placing you at other ends of a very large resort. I'd be interested to know what your party does.

What are the chances of getting an upgrade for 21 nights at the Venetian during June-July?
Should we sandwich in $100.
We are booked in a luxury King but would love 2 beds plus the couch (Bella?) Just incase I decide to get some sleep ths trip.

I don't know if they could really do muchor such a long trip. That's a really long time to be in Vegas. The couch with a pullout is standard and it shouldn't be hard to get two queens.
