I had two very successful ‘$20 tricks’ at the Tropicana, about 5-6 years ago.

Including my best one ever when a well placed Jackson upgraded us from a standard room to a huge wrap-around suite overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. This was back when the Tropicana was a Doubletree and possibly being a high tier Hilton Honors member didn’t hurt any. They basically upgraded me from a $80/night room to a $800/night one, for a 3 night stay..
