I've got two reservations in September for our trip. One is a ROH room at Caesars and the other is the Bungalow King Suite at MGM. I paid about $8 more at MGM so price isn't a factor. I'm going Sept 20-22 and the rooms at Caesars are starting at $580 on the 22nd (it was $400 when I booked). I'm concerned that I might not be able to tip my way to an upgrade for $20 considering the likely "limited" availability of the Augustus Tower that weekend. Would I be better off keeping the suite at MGM and trying to upgrade to a nicer suite from there? From what I can find it looks like the suites at MGM will be better than the old deluxe rooms at Caesars (stayed in these before...not all that impressed).

Also, how is the video poker at MGM? I've read a lot about Caesars taking out a lot of their better VP machines and I think that's the game I want to focus my play on (I normally play poker) to start building comps.
