This is one of the threads I really used to enjoy on Fatwallet in the Travel forum. It used to here, I think. Does anyone have the old one cached?

So what do you folks say? Let’s bring it back! I found the format in a google search, so I’ll start!

Hotel: Flamingo
Date: Jan 2016
Time: About 8pm
Airport or Hotel Check-in: Hotel
Clerk Gender: F
Clerk Age Aprox.: mid-late 20’s
Tip Amount: $20
Success?: Yes
Reserved Room: Dirt cheap room from some online booking site (don’t remember exactly). Room with no view on maybe the 6-8th floor.
Upgraded To: 20th floor with strip view, newly remodeled.

Booked online for really really cheap. Only tried this because of the old Fatwallet thread was so interesting. I had to try it. Had prepped a 20 between my ID and credit card earlier. Handed it to the person and it disappeared like magic without a flinch. She checked for me and apologized that lots of the nicer suites were already booked. I still ended up with a sizable upgrade to a much higher floor with a nice view, recently remodeled.
