[Travel] MGM Grand Las Vegas - $65 room incl. dinner + gambling credit *Updated Mar12

Just got back from Vegas. Stayed at the MGM grand in one of the Deluxe Grand Tower rooms and it was *very* nice. (I'm not saying its a 5 star like the Wynn... but it's the closest I've seen in a 4 star)

Anyways, when I got back they e-mailed me this promo code... A few really cheap nights in there when I checked, but even at $80 for some of the busier days it's a deal (reg $199 - $299 a night)

They also have an upgrade offer in there for $30 a night to the Celebrity Spa Suite... I would try the $20 trick first, and if that doesn't work... then ask about the upgrade Spa suite is very nice!!


Promo Code is INB253

March 12 addded another promo:

Code INB254

This one is for a $65 room, but includes $35 dinner or entertainment voucher, 25% off spa, 2 free poolside cocktails, and 2 VIP passes to Studio 54, and $10 free at the slots. Even better than the $52 deal!!!

One thing that I forgot to mention previously is that by booking directly with the hotel you set yourself up for a free room or other comps. Just hand them your players card (free) any time you are gambling... then half way through or near the end of your stay, just ask them if they can comp you anything.

Thought this trick worked at all the big Vegas hotels.

I have MGM this Sunday for 50 bucks. Upgrade to spa is 70 for me. Drag.

Doesn't fatwallet explain the 20 dollar trick?

I'm sure this is a common question in there threads, but being that I've never clicked one, what is the "$20 trick"?

The 20$ trick has worked for me at Planet Hollywood and Caesars.

EDIT: In fact I used a 50$ trick to go from 2 std rooms to 2 suites at Planet Hollywood. Bellagio fountain view yet!

Ummm.... I don't think you're going to see any mention of the $20 trick on the MGM grand website.

However, if look at the availability calendar, (the "GO" button beside "view available dates") it will tell you the rate on a day-by-day basis. Basically, the rates don't really start getting cheap consistently until June.

Some call it "greasing" if you get my drift.

Has anyone stayed in the "spa suite"

Any thoughts on the suite?

Thanks

I was thinking of treating myself and wonder how nice this room is.

where do i put in the code???

According to http://www.thetwentydollartrick.com/ :

"The twenty dollar bill trick is sweeping the travel industry and becoming extremely popular, especially in Las Vegas. When you check into a hotel you simply slip the front desk clerk a $20 bill with your credit card, while asking "Do you have any complimentary upgrades available?". The general rule of thumb is that the front desk clerk will check for upgrades and if they cannot find anything they will return the $20 tip, making it risk free!"

WE stayed in one in December. Very large, extra large bathroom as well. Service was excellent. Paid $85/night for the spa suite then, seen as low as $80 now.

Rooms are a little older though.

Best deal on the strip though IMO

I paid $85usd on hotwire last August for the MGM.

When we got their we got a free upgrade, it was really nice but smaller than the normal rooms. The multiple person shower was great, same with the mirros on the roof

There was also a TV in the mirror in the bathroom.

IMO- $52 is HOT!
