95% recommend rate and the boutique and airport shuttle were key for the ID. Very happy - 1/3 the price of what they want on their website. I've noticed that another mentioned they felt like they were put in a "less quality" room because of booking via Hotwire. Anyone else have this experience. Any suggestions for how to handle it should it happen to us?

Here is an updates list of everything Hotwire found to date (March 4 '04) for LAS. I have been gathering this together since my husband and I are planning a trip there this upcoming June and we are poor graduate students going out to a conference in hopes of finding jobs. (gotta love this economy). I hope this is helpful to others.

I stayed there in May 2002 - I think I'm the one that added it to this board. We had a ground floor room. We did have an ant problem but that was our own fault since we did leave food out on the first day. The location can't be beat on I-drive, right across from the Mercado. When we arrived, they gave us an 'upgrade' to a two bedroom suite. The suites all have full kitchens, which was nice. There is a grocery store within walking distance (well, for us young folks). We had a rental car (also off Hotwire) and parking was free. I don't know anything about it being sold. I think we paid $41 or $43 / night for it. We had to pay a $2 charge for something like phone mail or some goofy charge like that. We didn't argue as it just didn't seem worth it. Our expereince here was overall great. When we got the bid, it was back when the Sea World bidding Zone was separate from the Universal zone. If you want more info, let me know! C -

That is correct - it is in the Universal Orlando - Sea World area.
