I'm going to Mandalay Bay in the near future, and I've read in a few places that being discreet and slipping the check-in clerk a $20 often goes a long way into getting your requests met (high floor, strip view, room upgrade, etc). Has anyone had any luck with the "$20 bribe play"? Any comments about this working at the Mandalay Bay?

Thanks in advance.
