So searching for MAY 15-17 is going to be a bit more troublesome due to your weekend dates. Searching for 1room/4adults on HOTWIRE the least expensive 4 star hotel is Tropicana at $153/nite (before taxes/fees) so you can figure that is going to be closer to $200 all-in. So something is going to have to 'give'... either star rating, location, or budget. Dropping to 3*/3.5* doesn't really help much as most hotels on the strip are 4 star or higher (i did have a look and dropping star rating doesn't really help you much). Usually there is some 'outlier' that offers a pretty good deal and just not seeing it for these dates, so i dug a little deeper and i see that there is a 37K person convention that starts on May 17... most attendees will arrive (at least) the nite before and that is probably contributing to the high rates we're seeing for your dates. I assume you're locked into these nites, and if it's possible to reschedule would any Sun-Thur nites be an option, as will likely save you at least half.

PS- and i apoligize again if i got your hopes up on the earlier dates when i was accidentally searching for March

Sorry about that, I just double checked the dates and i was searching March 15-17.... now i see that it's May and these are weekend dates budget will be more difficult. Give me 5-10 minutes to search for the new (correct) dates and i'll reply to this thread.

Few things to keep in mind: -in Vegas many hotels charge extra for rooms with 2 Queen beds (vs. 1King) so as far as 'room only' cost you may not save that much (or anything) if you're including 4adults in your search (which also presents an issue for using PRICELINE since they only guarantee double occupancy) -most hotels charge resort fees that range from $40-$55/nite so that could be a factor when considering 2 rooms vs. 1 room since your resort fees are going to double (although see the Linq option mentioned below) So these are your best options, imo, along with our best guess for each: Searching 1room/4adults: 5* HOTWIRE Center Strip - Grand Canal Shoppes for $92 Free parking Free internet Resort Suite Casino Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center ==> Palazzo... all-in (after taxes, resort fees, etc, etc) you're about $330 (although our Hotwire Coupon takes $10 off so really about $320) and worth extending your budget, imo, for this truly 5 star hotel Searching 2rooms/4adults: 4* HOTWIRE Center Strip - High Roller Promenade for $29 Pet friendly Boutique hotel Casino Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Spa services ==> The Linq which comes to about $301 all-in (including resort fee for both rooms) You could also do 1room/4adults at the Linq for about $250, but if you don't typically (or ever) get to stay at a 5 star hotel i would spend the extra money for the Palazzo. Not only do you get to experience a 'true' 5 star hotel, but the rooms here are oversized which be much more comfortable for 4guests vs. a 'standard' hotel room. Your thoughts on the above? Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. EDIT TO ADD: we will keep all posts for this trip in this thread. If you ultimately use PRICELINE (which i don't recommend for your situation based upon the occupancy issue i mentioned above) we can move the entire thread to that section of the board.

Welcome to BetterBidding! Few things to clarify in order to get started... Are you looking for one room for the four of you or two separate rooms? You're not going to find any 'on-strip' hotels that have a free breakfast (if that is what you were referring to). Almost all casino hotels on the strip have buffets, but they are not included in the room rate and are additional. Using a ballpark number breakfast is usually about $8-12/per person, lunch $14-$22/per person, dinner really depends upon what is offer and can be anywhere from $14-$45 (the higher end having things like shrimp, crab legs, etc.) First and foremost let us know regarding the occupancy (1room/4guests vs. 2rooms/2guests each) and we'll be able to take it from there.

Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for but sorry to hear the hotel did not 'do the right thing' by giving you a room to accommodate the number of guests on your reservation. For now we will give them the benefit of the doubt that it was an oversight and they would have changed your room if you had brought it to their attention.

New Buffalo, MI is not a very popular area as far as people who use the forum, so the odds of finding any meaningful information in a calendar of wins from somebody who is traveling there on/around the same dates as yours is very slim. Please post in the Michigan Priceline hotel forum along with the dates of your stay and any other details that may be important (desired star rating, budget, etc) and we will take it from there.

The resort fees should be in the right 'ballpark' and are often not an exact match to what you may expect them to be. Sometimes the resort fee is shown before taxes, sometimes after taxes, and sometimes they're off by a few dollars per nite if the hotel has recently changed the amount.
