First day in Vegas
I arrived in Vegas around 1:30 PM PST and went to go check in at the Hard Rock Hotel. I tried the $20 dollar bill trick and it worked. I got a free room upgrade for the six nights I'm staying there. I got upgraded from a regular room in the hotel casino to the brand new paradise towers on the 18th floor. Sick view.
All you do for the trick, is when you are checking in, fold up a $20 bill in between your credit card and driver's license when they ask for it. Hand it to the hotel employee checking you in while asking if they have any "complimentary upgrades available." Basically, the employee gets the $20 tip and upgrades your room to a better view/bigger room/newer room. I've done this a few times in Vegas at different hotels and it normally works unless the hotel is near capacity. If they are unable to upgrade you, the times that's happened to me anyways they hand back your $20. So you can't really lose by trying it. Definitely a cool trick.
My friend Brian arrived in Vegas around 6 PM and we went to eat at "Pink Taco," a mexican place in the Hard Rock Casino. It was pretty decent food; I liked it. Afterwards we went out to the club "TAO" at the Venetian for a bit. It was super loud in there but a lot of fun. Didn't hit the dance floor at all, as I mainly talked and drank a bit the whole time.
I also forgot to mention I played a session online for a few hours before dinner and ended up winning a few buyins. Definitely a fun first day in Veags.
