Need help identifying this 3* hotel in San Diego Misson Valley/Hotel Circle area for 6/29/2014-7/4/2014. As of today, the Hotwire rate is $83/night. The hotel is 80% recommended and amenities are: Free Internet Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Self service laundry Internet access Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower Thanks! :)

I went ahead and made the purchase with fingers crossed and........................I GOT THE HYATT REGENCY! Exactly what I was hoping for! (I booked through the BiddingHelper.com link.) The price was $55 + tax for a total of $68.97 (compared to the $217 + tax full price for that hotel on that night). Needless to say I'm thrilled!!! Thanks sooooo much for all your help! :) And by the way, yes those were the exact amenities I was seeing when I was able to view all the amenities for the property. Thanks again!

I just realized I've been posting in the Price.line forum and this is really a Hot.wire question!

Ok thanks! Hotwire has a 3.5* hotel in the Pittsburgh Intl Airport PIT North area for $59 per night. Amenities are: Indoor pool(s) Airport shuttle Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Tennis nearby Any guesses as to which hotel that might be? Thx!

Hi, I am flying into the Pittsburgh airport very late on Tuesday 5/27 (getting in at 12:25am), and I want to stay at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh International Airport (1111 Airport Boulevard) specifically because it is attached to the airport...It will be very easy for me to just get to my room quickly, and I can wait till the next morning to get my rental car. I am noticing that people have won that hotel quite a lot on here, but I'm not sure if there is a way to *guarantee* that is will be that exact hotel. I really need it to be that hotel, because any other hotel would be a hassle to get to at that hour. Any tips? Thanks! :)

Finally got my rooms booked! I guessed that hotel above was Vdara or Four Seasons. I wanted Vdara, but I would have been ok with Four Seasons too. And....it was Vdara! Booked 4 rooms for 2 nights 10/25-10/27 for $183/night. That's higher than I wanted to pay, but it will be fine. Looking at Vdara it really looks like a nice property, and I actually like the idea of not having a casino right there. :) Should I post it separately on the Hotwire forum, so people there can see it? Thanks again for all the help and input!

Anybody have a guess as to which hotel this is: 5* Luxe hotel featuring roomy suites, The Strip - South Resort fee: about $30 per night Hotwire 90% recommended Tripadvisor: 4.5 out of 5 Amenities: Free Parking Free Internet Suite Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center Internet Access Golf Nearby Spa Services Accessible for the Blind Accessible for the Deaf Accessible Path of Travel In-room Accessibility Accessible Bathroom Roll-in Shower Price is pretty good at $183/night! Guesses???

Wow. When I planned the dates months ago I tried to avoid a busy weekend. But I never know quite how to find out which weekends are going to be super busy in Vegas. :( I'll let you all know the results when I finally get something.

There is also a list of "Standard Rate hotels near this $151 hot Rate hotel" that include NYNY, Excalibur, MGM Grand, Monte Carlo, and Luxor. Does the fact that Luxor is included in the list mean that the hotel I'd be bidding on is NOT Luxor??? Oh gosh, this is nerve-wracking!!!

I just noticed that on the regular side of Hotwire (full price) they list the Tripadvisor ranking for the Luxor at 3.5 out of 5 (I also confirmed this ranking on the Tripadvisor site.) I could not find the Tropicana on the full price side of Hotwire, however when I checked the Tripadvisor site, the Tropicana is ranked 4 out of 5. Since South Strip 4* property mentioned above has Free Internet, I narrowed it down to Luxor and Tropicana (is that right?). Does the 4 out of 5 Tripadvisor ranking confirm Tropicana??? Any thoughts? I'd book it at that price if I was fairly certain it was Tropicana and not Luxor.

I just discovered more amenities by clicking on Book Now: 1. "Cool hotel at a resort packed with fun" The Strip - North. $148 + $25 resort fee. Amenities: Free Parking, Fitness Center, Business Center, Tennis Nearby, Accessible for the Deaf, Accessible Bathroom, Resort, Pool(s), Internet Access, Spa Services, Accessible Path of Travel, Handicapped Parking, Casino,Restaurant(s), Golf Nearby, Accessible for the Blind, In-room accessibility, Roll-in Shower. It has an 90% Hotwire recommendation and 4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor. 2. "Cool hotel at a resort packed with fun" The Strip - South. $151 + $20 resort fee. Amenities: Free Parking, Casino, Restaurant(s), Accessible for the Deaf, Wheelchair Accessible, Roll-in Shower, Free Internet, Fitness Center, Business Center, Accessible Path of Travel, Accessible Bathroom, Resort, Pool, Golf Nearby. It has an 80% Hotwire recommendation and 4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor. Any guesses on these 2?

Thanks Aaron! I wouldn't mind booking on Hotwire, and they have 2 hotels listed that would work for me, but I can't say for sure which hotels they are: 1. "Cool hotel at a resort packed with fun" The Strip - North. $148 + $25 resort fee. Amenities: Free Parking, Resort, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet Access, Golf Nearby. (My guess is that this is either Treasure Island or The Mirage) 2. "Cool hotel at a resort packed with fun" The Strip - South. $151 + $20 resort fee. Amenities: Free Parking, Free Internet, Resort, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Golf Nearby. (I would be ok with most of the hotels that match this, but really don't want Luxor, which it could be.) Any thoughts on likely matches for those two? I'd take the first if I knew it wasn't TI, and I'd take the second if I knew it wasn't Luxor!

Yes, that makes sense! I've decided that a hotel without a casino is ok, especially if it's in a good location. I'm going to try to get a 4.5* or 5* in the price range I want tomorrow ($150-$175) and if I still can't make that happen, I'll start bidding on 4* South Strip hotels. I just hope I don't get Luxor, but I guess there is no way to prevent that. Thanks for your help!

So after looking things over, I think I would be ok with either Elara or Mandalay Bay or the MGM (the 4.5* hotels). So tomorrow I'll bid 4.5* and 5* hotels North and South strip all the way up to $175, using the links here, and leaving out the North Strip Vicinity zone. If all else fails, I should be able to get the PRICELINE EXPRESS 5* North strip hotel for $193. But that's a lot more than I wanted to pay! Any tips on this strategy would be appreciated!

Thanks! Actually, I rebid today all the way up to $175, using North Strip, South Strip and all the appropriate re-bidding zones (and being careful to leave off North Strip Vicinity). I'm kind of surprised that even $175 wasn't accepted, when PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals is offering a 5* North Strip hotel for $193! Plus, I'm trying to purchase 4 rooms for 2 nights, so this is a reasonably decent sale for them I would think...you'd think they'd want it! But no, they are not wanting it, and I'm having a hard time bidding higher than $175, considering there will be resort fees too. I am thinking about including the 4.5* hotels. I'm not crazy about the location of the Elara, though I have not been there so can't say for sure...it's central, but it looks like it's tucked out of the way kind of behind another hotel. I don't really like the location of Mandalay Bay either, but I have stayed there before and it was a pretty nice hotel (I thought it was nicer than TI, just a worse location), so that would be ok I guess. I wonder if I include the 4.5* hotels if I can get a rate closer to $150-$160? Any tips would be appreciated. I'm kind of at a loss!

So I just noticed that Hotwire is offering a "Cool hotel at a resort packed with fun" 4* on the Strip-South for $151. Amenities are "Free Parking, Free Internet, Resort, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center and Golf Nearby" with a resort fee of "about $20 per night." Does this sound like the Luxor? Definitely do not want Luxor...but the price is right. What do you think?

Giving up for today...I bid all the way up to $170 on 5* North Strip hotels today and finally decided to give up and try again tomorrow. Since Priceline Express Deals is offering $193 for a 5* North Strip hotel, I think that $170 or higher I would pay by bidding is not really a great deal! I'm also re-thinking whether we really need a casino on-site. If we are staying at a fairly central property on the strip, I think that walking next door to another casino might be ok. Soooo....my plan for tomorrow is going to be to include 5* hotels on both the North and South strip. This should hopefully result in a good hotel in a good location, maybe closer to $150-$160.

Thanks for the input! Yes I would really like to have a casino on-site....however I just realized that it's not the Tropicana I was trying to avoid but the Flamingo Hilton and I was getting the two mixed up. (I've heard a lot of bad reviews of the Flamingo Hilton.) So the Tropicana would probably be fine...but you are right, Luxor would really not be great, due mainly to its location, so maybe I should still stay away from bidding on 4* South Strip hotels. I am thinking that bidding 5* North Strip is my best bet and I'm going to try that. I'll be sure to link to PRICELINE through this site and post my results! Thanks again!

Hi! I'm looking for 4 rooms right on the Las Vegas strip the nights of Friday 10/25 and Sat 10/26. I've used Priceline twice before and gotten good deals, but both times ended up with Treasure Island. This was fine with me (I like TI!), but the girls I'm taking requested staying somewhere else this year...Now I'm afraid to bid on Strip-North on Priceline, because I might get TI again, and the phrase "Las Vegas Strip Vicinity South" is kind of freaking me out, as the hotel really needs to be one of the big casinos right on the strip, not somewhere off the strip. I looked at Hotwire, but I'm not really understanding their system too well. It looks like my best option there would be $154 for a 4* "cool hotel at a resort packed with fun" on the Strip-South. (Amenities are Free Parking, Free Internet, Resort, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center and Golf Nearby, with a resort fee of "about $20 per night.") I am guessing this might be the Tropicana, which to be honest is not at the top of my list of places I'd like to stay. Another option might be bidding on only 5* and 4.5* casinos on Priceline, if I could possibly get them for a reasonable price ($150 or less per night, ideally). Any of those would be fine I think, as long as they have casinos and are right on the strip. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I finally got a bid through for $125 per night for TI for the weekend of 10/5-10/7. It's a little more than I wanted to spend, but still a big discount, and I really like the location and service at TI, so I'm happy. Thanks all for the help and advice! :)

Thanks! I am ok with TI or the Mirage so I may just take the Hotwire deal. :)
