Front Desk Tip at Borgata?
 
Anybody try this at Borgata? I'm going down mid-week next week (comp room if that matters) and I'd like to give it a shot.

The two times I stayed there (one comp room, one pay cheap weekday room), I tried the $20 thing at check in. When I gave my credit card, I pulled out a $20 and put it on the counter in front of me and asked "if there are any complimentary upgrades, I'd appreciate it.". I think that gets the gist across.

Both times, the girl seemed to know what was up. I pretty much got a "I'll see what I can do for you", but both times she said she was booked. Once she went to a manager.

So I'm 0/2 at the Borg. But it can't hurt to try.

this is -ev at the borg from what i heard and experienced. borg sells out most of the time so it's harder to pull this off there but the ghetto fabulous taj mahal works like a charm.

How is it -EV? If they can't upgrade you, do they then do something bad to you?

Yeah I am curious to see any reports if the $20 trick works anywhere in AC.
Too bad that site only has LV hotels/casinos.

"4. Most clerks will know to give you back the money if they cannot offer you the upgrade."

I have actually heard of this working at the Borg. Someone said $20-$50 though.
