<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by skofarrell: "Nice" in quotes as a play on words, not referring to any suite at the Paris in particular. I'd truly love to meet the non casino rated person who'd be willing to pay $1750 a night for a 1400 SQ foot suite at the Paris, when the Venetian, The Four Seasons, and Mirage/Bellagio (all of whom I consider to be better resorts) have their big 1BR's going for less than $800/night weekends and $600 weekdays. Hasn't the Four Seasons captured the market that's willing to pay for the big suite? Are tasteful furnishings at a 4* resort worth an additional $1000/night?

That's a decent price for that suite, which really is very "Nice." But the $20 trick is INSTEAD of paying extra! I guess you'll need to be a shade less subtle in the future. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

As mentioned by others, the $20 is in lieu of paying any additional $.
I always fold the $20 and put it with partially under my CC (with the 20 clearly showing) and ask the clerk if there are any 'COMPLIMENTARY ungrades available'. Be sure to say COMPLIMENTARY. In addition, your best success will often be with a middle aged male clerk. Sorry to sound sexist, but this is well documented in other LV forums. FTR, I have had success at MBay, Ballys, and the Mirage. hockeystl |
"The Venetian at $129 a night is a good deal, especially if you take advantage of the FHR amenities."
We are booked at the Venetian this coming weekend, on the FHR program. We have Vista King rooms booked (your std luxury suite, with a quaranteed view). What should we expect to get from the FHR program? Will we have a decent chance of getting upgraded to a Rialto suite? Which "view" should we request when checking in? Thanks! |

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by skofarrell: You actually don't want a Rialto suite. They only come with 2 queen size beds, and their only space advantage (if you can call it that) is a slightly larger entryway. Other than that, they are exactly the same as a standard suite. If you're looking for an upgrade, ask for a Piazza suite. Failing that, insist on a strip view. Good luck.</font> We should have a strip view (paid a little extra for it), so I would assume that the Piazza suite would be the next "level" to upgrade to. Will it be automatic, or do we need to ask about it? Also, any opinion on which "view" to request? thanks |
The Pool view is my favorite, overlooking the Treasure Island pirate battle and avoiding the construction.
