Consider it an unexpected bonus if it happens. I also just added a new deal to our <a href="/bargains/deals/">Bargains page</a> for half off suite upgrades at the Tropicana, so long as rooms are booked at least two weeks in advance. You might want to take a look at that and see if it fits your bill.
