Staying at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas next week. Marriott Platinum here. Any chances of upgrades? Any tips for upgrade?

Are you going over the weekend? If so it’s probably pretty busy and upgrades are super unlikely. I went a few weeks (as titanium) and the only benefit I got was late checkout and access to this little lounge on the first floor (kinda sucks. Use it to check in though)

Going from Wed to Sunday.

Yeah if you have a players card and gamble a lot. Otherwise they don’t really honor Marriott statuses. They do have nice ambassador lounge though

If you're going for what I think you're going for, I'm jealous. Cosmo was so far out of policy by the time I got the go ahead to book that I had to settle for a non-Marriott property

To answer the question though, it'll be harder to get an upgrade, but not impossible with high status. Probably would need to be titanium/ambassador though

Try the “Vegas sandwich” at check in.... put a $20 bill between your ID and CC and ask if they have any upgrades available. They’ll usually lay the money on the counter while they check and you just tell them it’s a tip for their effort - 50/50 it works, but usually worth the $20 gamble.

I plan on doing that! Fingers crossed x
