$20 Sandwich Trick in Las Vegas for Free Hotel Upgrade

by Raghu on May 14, 2011

Last week we spent 3 days in Las Vegas. While searching for Hotel deals, I came across $20 sandwich trick to get free hotel room upgrade. I was skeptical and so does my wife. But, we decided to give it a try.

$20 Sandwich

$20 sandwich is similar to Chicken Sandwich. Instead of bread and chicken, we have the following

  • ID (Driving License)
  • $20 Bill
  • Credit Card

Free Room Upgrade with $20 Sandwich

We walked to the desk to check-in into the room at Excalibur. Gave the $20 sandwich (or called as credit card sandwich). Person who was helping us put the card on the table and she saw the $20 bill.

I asked “do you think we can get a complimentary room upgrade”. She smiled and replied “Let me see what I can do”

After few minutes, she gave free room upgrade for 2 rooms (3 nights).

Our room had the view of the strip (MGM, New York New York) on 24th floor.

Room was on new renovated Tower 2. Great view, good mattress and clean.

When you plan your trip to Las Vegas next time, try using this $20 sandwich trip/trick.

:) From what I understand, same trick will apply in all the hotels with slight variations in wordings.

Don’t give them Twenty Dollar sandwich, but while check-in ask if you can get complimentary upgrade and let them know you will take care of them if you get the upgrade.

Haven’t tested this, but when I get a chance to stay in the hotel, I will give it a try.
