I can only assume that it would at Planet Hollywood. From May 28th until June 1st is an extremely slow period for Las Vegas. Which is to your advantage, they can't upgrade you to something they don't have. How to go about asking. Have the $ 20 visible in your left hand as you hand the clerk your CC & ID with your right. Ask if there are any "complimentary" upgrades available. He/she will tell you "I can't do that or It will cost you $ $ " in which case you can either forget it or pony up the difference. Or he/she will say "let me take a look" in which case you're probably in luck. It's a very good idea to know a little about the hotel & what upgrades they have and what upgrade you're most interested in. A room with a view of the Bellagio Fountains is a very nice upgrade, at Planet Hollywood. When he/she hands you the room key to your upgrade, then you tell him/her "thank you very much" and give them the $ 20 handshake. The main thing is, just be nice and let them do you a favor.

From May 28th until June 1st is an extremely slow period for Las Vegas. Which is to your advantage, they can’t upgrade you to something they don’t have.

How to go about asking.

Have the $ 20 visible in your left hand as you hand the clerk your CC & ID with your right. Ask if there are any “complimentary” upgrades available. He/she will tell you “I can’t do that or It will cost you $ $ ” in which case you can either forget it or pony up the difference. Or he/she will say “let me take a look” in which case you’re probably in luck. It’s a very good idea to know a little about the hotel & what upgrades they have and what upgrade you’re most interested in.

At first, I was reading the reviews and I started having doubts. But when I arrived, the place was packed & thank god I made reservations too! The wait for the table was a little longer than I expected but it was probably because I arrived about 5-10 minutes late, so I won't blame them. But, the service was great (nothing like what the reviews said), they were all very nice & the food came REALLY fast & the food was great. :) DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY & WAIT ON RESERVATIONS :P I was actually at Peter Luger’s Steakhouse just last week.

It also has an excellent chocolate souffle for desert. I think they have a website as well. Anyone I have ever taken there has only been pleased with the steaks and all else they had to offer.
