For the Venetian the lowest I found on Expedia, etc a 2-3 weeks before was $159/n.

Priceline rejected my $90 and $100 for 5* on the Strip and one time countered with $133 or $137 (?) which I wasn't ready to take.

Hotwire at first was about $145 . A week before I tried again on Hotwire and it offered the 5* at $121/n for 2 nights which I took. I'm happy. Thanks for the resource.

I had tried to bid on priceline for 3* in Bev. Hill-Westwood area and was rejected at $65 and $70. Also rejected $75 and $80 for 4*.

I opted for the 4* for $99/night 1/18 -1/23/04 on Hotwire (via Savingsbarn) and it was the Beverly Hilton. Thanks for your help.

ps I'm still curious what 3* hotels Hotwire offered in that area.

I was quoted by Hotwire for Beverly Hills-Westood-Century City 1/18 -1/23/04 the following that interests me:

4* - Cust Fav, rest, Swim,fitness,business, golf,tennis for $99/n (5nights)

3 1/2* - Boutique,rest,swim,fitness,high speed int, business $109/n (5n)

3* - Rest, swim, fitness, business $72/night (5 nights)

Any idea which hotels they refer to? I couldn't match them to any on your list? What's my next step?

(I also need to be at short radius (under 1 mile) of a Westwood location for 1/16 -1/18/04 and will only use hotwire or priceline if I can detemine the hotel(s) location. )

Thanks

Re: Beverly Hills - Westwood - Century City (LA)

Do you know what specific 3* hotels are being offered in this area by Hotwire (and Priceline) at this time for 3rd week of January? I saw only 4* and up on your list. Does anyone have any recent experiences for this area? This is my first post. Thanks.
