Anyway, it would obviously awesome to get upgraded to a Tower Suite or other Suite at check-in but I'm not sure how to go about it. I've heard of the "$20 trick", but not sure if this works at Encore. Anyway, just wanted any suggestions on how to do this. I wouldn't mind paying a little bit more, but want to get the best deal I can.
Encore is pretty "by the book" on upgrades. Your best bet is to book the room you want. The $20 trick has not been very successful at Encore. A lot depends on how long you are staying. The shorter the stay, the easier to secure an upgrade, but be prepared to spend at least $50 a night for an upgraded room.
