If all our stories on the US' very first Radisson Blu has you plotting a stay, you may want to remember this little upgrading trick for the future.

When we booked our City View King for a total of $287 on the hotel website, all was normal. Then we received the confirmation email, with a tempting little red notice that upgrade options were available, from only $9. After your room purchase is complete, Radisson would like to sap a few extra dollars (like $9 for the chance at a one-category upgrade or $39 for an 11am early check-in) from your wallet. ]]> JetSetCD 2011-11-07T17:15:05-05:00 Vero Beach: Your Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ticket Will Get You a Room Upgrade at Vero Beach Hotel http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/6/22/1135/09911

If you’ve been following our sister site Jaunted's coverage of the newly opened Wizarding World of Harry Potter , you’ve already gotten the inside scoop on the theme park and are probably in line to ride Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey. Be sure you don’t throw away that Universal Studios ticket. Nearby Vero Beach Hotel & Spa will give you a free room upgrade if you flash your Wizarding World ticket stub.

When your feet—and wallet—tire of perusing wands in the Wizarding World Shops, kick up your tootsies at this oceanfront hotel, which is an hour and a half southeast of Orlando.]]> Jennifer Kester 2010-06-22T09:13:07-05:00 27.6558080 -80.356662 Las Vegas: Want Added Vegas Value?
