My guesses are based on the Hotwire Hotel List... is this list updated regularly? I read the message and clicked on both links :) Thanks Stefan

Hi Yellowdog, thanks for the rapid response :) Thanks for the detailed explanation about the differences between Priceline and Hotwire - it's clear right now. Was the reason why i prefered Hotwire. I have absolutely no problem with an upgrade fee - on the other hand a free upgrade would be nice ;) My concern was, that the upgrade fee differs from the regular upgrade fees. An example: Upgrading from Deluxe suite to Bello costs 25 USD. Now i am paying much less for the Deluxe and the difference to the regular Bello is - of course - higher. Therefore the upgrade fee is also higher, because the upgraded room is not a hotwire room and i have to compensate the price difference with the upgrade fee. I think i will contact Venetian and Palazzo and ask how they will handle this in general. It is clear, that upgrading depends on availability to my specific dates. Stay tuned :) Stefan

Hi, we (german family with 2 girls [12/13]) will be in Vegas from 24/4 to 26/4. Sleeping together in 2 Queens is not an option with 2 girls in this age ^^ As far as i read in this forum Hotwire is the better option, because there we can specify more than 2 persons and this will be taken into account for pricing and room selection. Few years ago we stayed in MGM Signature ( booked direct, 1 BR suite with sofa bed in seperate living room) and this time we would like to stay more in the north of the strip. I read a lot of reviews and the conclusion was - we would like to try Venetian/Palazzo this time. Aria was the first choice but seems too expensive for a suite with sleepings for 4 (seperate room for the girls). I saw, that all preferred hotels are in the list and let's assume, i can identify and win my favourite hotel. Because there is no information about the room type i would expect, that (normally) this will be the smallest possible type. For venetian f.e. Luxory Suite. Does it make sense to contact hotels in advance and ask for upgrade policy for Hotwire bookings? Or are there any experiences with upgrading to suites? For Ventian we would like to stay in a Piazza suite because of the seperate room with sofa bed. Or is Hotwire / Priceline not the right option for suite bookings, because there are (in general) more standard rooms and upgrading is pure luck? If upgrading is possible - does special (higher) upgrading fees apply because of hotwire (cheaper room rate) ? Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences :) Stefan
