TL;DR
Slip $20-50 (sometimes even less works) inside your passport when checking in and hand it over with a smile - if rooms are available, staff will check you in earlier than the standard time.

You can ask for an upgrade at check-in: one traveler put $20 in the passport, requested a suite, and was assigned a villa in the Cascade area, closer to the entertainment facilities.

The most reliable way is to put the money in your passport right away and ask for a specific room number. If rooms are available, staff will check you in early for the extra cash.

You don't need to give a large amount — in practice even less than $5 works, so there's no point overpaying $20.
