The village has a well-attended Maple Syrup Festival the last full weekend of April. The annual tradition began in 1959 and includes arts, crafts, music, food and a parade featuring the Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival Queen. 2,375.1 gallons of syrup were produced in 2013, a new record for the town.
I will show you a top ten list of the hotels to try this at. Ok enough babble here is the Las Vegas $20 free room upgrade trick.

In the downtown heart of Old Las Vegas is the Golden Nugget. I spent two days here for a business trip and had a pretty good experience. The room rate was a crazy $49 a night- yup, just $49. Not sure if that was an off-peak kind of deal, but that was the rate. I did have to add on a $50 resort fee which is standard but gave me no added value.
