Just wanted some feedback.

Gotten things like significant room upgrade, early check in(when there was atleast a 50 people line-up for just bag drop due to a conference happening) and late check-out, waiving off resort fee, food and drink coupons etc. Also have heard of people getting show tickets etc. We also ended up getting the extra person cost waived. Significant savings, all things considered.

Congrats on the wedding!
Definitely fold a $20 and put it between your credit card and drivers licence when you're checking in at the front desk. Smile and be friendly and ask if there is any complimentary upgrades for the newly weds. If there isn't any upgrades you'll get the $20 back. However at this time of year, I suspect you have a good chance to get a room upgrade. Especially with a mid-week check in... depends on how long you're staying though.
Even if they can't upgrade you, you'll get some sort of perk or commemoration of your wedding. They may send up complimentary chocolates and/or cheap wine and flowers. My friends were recently there and staying at Mirage. They were there for one of their birthdays and their room keys weren't the typical hotel advertisement of their restaurants or shows, it was merely "Happy Birthday!".
Where are you staying?
