Got the Venetian Resort when I selected 5-star resort in North Strip/Fashion Mall district for $172. I also got an extra $20 off so that is good timing.

Need to report on a bad experience with Hotwire. I got the Encore on Jan 5th and up til yesterday after numerous calls to Encore, the reservation could not be found. I was assured that Hotwire has my reservation but why would the information not transmitted to Encore within a day or so. The customer service rep could not explain after calling the hotel so they agreed to refund and cancel my reservation. Thank goodness to calling ENcore to confirm as I wouldn't want to arrive with my family to find out that our reservation is lost between systems. It is totally absurd and now I've to wait for the CC refund.

Thanks for your comment. I went thru Hotwire and got the Encore. Was hoping to get the Venetian since their rooms are larger but still a nice hotel. I called Encore twice after 30 minutes of the reservation and my reservation had not gone thru to their system yet so can't find out what bed types I was assigned. My reservation dates are 1/27-1/29 and I paid $166. Will update on bed types as soon as I find out. Hopefully based on Encore room setting, the sofa is not a rollout sofa bed so I should get a room with 2 beds.

I'm looking to bid on Hotwire for 2 rooms with 5 adults and one child. Since I declare the exact number of people staying, would they give me two rooms with double beds ? I know that people has been winning Encore in the last hour. Just don't want to be stuck getting a room with a King bed and having to pay more at the front desk to get a double bed. Not sure how they will guarantee the bed types given that the exact number of people have been declared. I know some hotels will charge more at check-in if you declare only 2 people and request two beds since they will assign only a King bed for 2. Thanks in advance.
