PH Sandwich Tips/Opinions/Etc.

[donniejay]

And no I'm not talking about an Earl's Sandwich! HAha

But any feedback/tips on what I can expect? I got a room booked with my total rewards card this weekend...standard hollywood hip room (king) 3 nights (this Saturday to Tuesday). I'm thinking about offering $50

I myself would love some feedback on how to approach the Sandwich at Aria, and if i should at all

Me and my buddy did 50 a piece. The old benjamin between the CC/ID. We got bumped from a base room to a panoramic suite. We checked in on a Sunday, around 10 PM, young girl behind the counter.

Yes, you can definitely get an upgrade. Even if you cant via sandwich, they have a book on the counter that list upgrade cost per night, and its a huge discount from regular price. At the very least, the sandwich should get you 50% off the upgrade price in the book, which makes a Suite VERY cheap.

thanks for the response fellas! i think i may try to check in a little later then and try out my luck with $50 or $100. I figure $20 is only gonna get me a strip or fountain view

any other feed back is much appreciated!

I had a standard hollywood hip queen last summer (june) booked from Saturday, check out on Tuesday. Gave a $20 sandwich and got upgraded to a Resort Room i think it was called? Basically it was more sq ft than then standard room and had a pretty nice strip view. I checked in probably around Noon-1pm

Donnie,

How'd your upgrade turnout?? I'm booked for this Thurs - Mon (EDC weekend) 2 Queens Standard Hip Hop Room. I'm planning to sandwich $50.

It's nice you were happy with it but that's a bullshit upgrade. If you can't get bumped to a panorama or above suite take your money back. PH is too fucking dank anymore for you to be tipping an employee when you could spend that on buying a pillow made after 2010.

Whatever works for you I guess. I paid X amount of dollars for a specific room. They didn't have to give me anything when I checked in. And $20 is alot cheaper than if I had booked that Resort room ahead of time.

You give $20 to your nightclub host, don't expect a dancefloor table. Give $20 to some guy at the hotel check in desk who doesn't give two shits about me, don't expect him to give you the prime hotel room.

Donnie, how did the upgrade work out? I'm going to be there from the July 17 - 21 and I also booked through total rewards.

I'll be there this weekend. I'm going to try a $50 sandwich and go from a 2 queen room to one of the suites. Hoping it works.

[iamkhai]

I tried $50 and got nothing. She gave it back though

That sucks man. At least she gave it back. Thanks for the feedback

If you try the sandwich they will ALWAYS give it back if there is nothing they can do. It's understood in Vegas that the tip is for the upgrade, so you can try the sandwich with the confidence that if they say no you won't be out the cash.

Booked a Hollywood Hip 2 queen room, what size sandwich should I try to upgrade to get the best we can get (checking in on a Wednesday to Saturday) while still having 2 beds at PH?
