In the course of our pre trip research we have stumbled upon something called the $20 trick. Have you heard of this, we haven't (Susan says I'm supposed to use the word hadn't here something about grammar).
Allegedly, if we tuck a 20 between the driver's license and the credit card when we check in and ask about the possibility of an upgrade you often receive a large free upgrade in your hotel room.
If nothing else maybe we'll get a great view of the strip or something higher up in the Pyramid. We are hoping for the Spa Suite in the pyramid though. Wish us luck.
Travel Advisor has some posts about this: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g45963-i10-k161662-20_dollar_trick_an_urban_myth-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html
Also read a great story online tonight about some lady who refused to have her seat kicked by an unruly child all the way to Las Vegas: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/04/07/20100407southwest-woman-grabs-child-abrk0407.html
A couple of pre-trip purchases as well, a memory card reader so I can download pictures to my computer at the end of the day and one of the tripods with the bendable legs so we can take self portraits.
