Good lord what bad advice.
Alright this is what you need to know.
1) I’ve been doing this for 20 years in vegas and most hotels while traveling. 15 or so years ago, this would net amazing results. Slip the twenty (or fifty if you are high rolling) between the cc and license, ask if they have any complimentary upgrades. Small suites would be very common, but occasionally you could hit it big and get some crazy upgrade that wasn’t being used. Now the front desk people have less authority but this can be used for views, late checkout, resort fee waived, early checkout, big bathtub etc. although two summers ago in San Diego this worked in an ocean front room which was about 1500 dollar upgrade a night!
2) this op should help some of your confidence, look at it as a challenge to appear comfortable and relaxed. If your single, talk to someone you find attractive you otherwise wouldn’t, tip a cocktail server bigger than normal for better service. If you valet pull up with a ten or twenty in your hand and ask if they can help you. Crowded restaurant talk to maitre d with a tip.
Just some advice from a dude over the hill and married now.
