Taking PTO before quitting

I believe I am about to get another job offer in the next couple days. I have 17 days of PTO (vacation time) saved up and my job states and PTO is not paid out upon termination. I’m not sure the best way to handle this, but wanted to run my idea by everyone and see if it’s a good option. I was thinking instead of putting my two weeks notice I put an extra 17 days notice in. Then request the the last 17 days off so I’d still give notice and be able to get paid for my pto. Not sure if I should put in the the request prior to giving the notice or not. If I do it before that might raise a flag and not get approved, if I do it after then it could be denied all together. Any advice would be appreciated.
