I haven't done it before at a "luxury" hotel, amd was curious about your successes/failures.
I have to imagine a $100 would go much further than a $20 at a 5 star properties.
I did it at the Bellagio back in 2008. A $50 sandwiched between my credit card and my passport. We had booked the lead-in category of room and got a suite with a view of the fountains. I couldn't tell whether this was because of the tip or that we were on honeymoon.
