Snyder81 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I tried to match up the amenities with the Hotwire hotel list but am not seeing anything that matches exactly. The trip is planned for May 22nd check-in and May 26th check-out. Hotwire came up with a 3* hotel on the Strip for $47/night. Amenities are listed below. What hotel is this? Casino Restaurant(s) Pool(s) Fitness Center Spa Services Golf NearbyAlso, any ideas why some of the higher-end hotels are so expensive during this time frame? The only reasonable prices I can get are for Wednesday night, May 25th. Is this a busy week in Vegas? I think Memorial day is the following weekend. Is that the reason? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Rates are high due to a 35K person convention... not humongous for Vegas, but pretty decent sized nonetheless.Are you sure you didn't mix up two selections? Go back and do another search at HOTWIRE. For your dates i show a 3.5* hotel with the amenities listed above ($128/nite) and a 3* hotel with only four amenities listed ($47/nite)The 3.5* hotel is a match for Harrahs and that would be our best guess regarding that property.Please let us know whatever you ultimatley do for this stay. If you book the above let us know how it goes and please begin your purchase using THIS LINK.

Snyder81 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I think I did mis-list the amenities. I ran the search again and found a 3* on the strip for $47/night.Amenities include Casino, Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Business Center.What hotel is this? It does not match up with the hotel list. Has anyone booked this recently?thereuare, what convention of 35k will be in Vegas at that time? Maybe I'll attend if it's interesting :-)Another question - has anyone stayed at the 3.5* Tuscany in the "Near Strip East" zone? It looks like a nice place, but I'm wondering if it's a long distance to walk to the strip. Reviews say it's a couple blocks, but I'd like to hear from someone here that it's close enough to the strip.A 3.5* hotel that matches the Tuscany goes for $64/night during the time I'm traveling. I found an "Expedia Special Rate" that says "Sale! Save 20% on this Stay." Their "Regular price" is $70 but the discounted price is $56.Will the HotWire Double the Difference guarantee work with Expedia's "Special Rate"? I looked through the Terms and Conditions and can not find a reason why it would not work. If it does work, the Tuscany 3.5* would be $64(HotWire)-$56(Expedia)=$8 difference. DTD is $8*$2=$16. So the final price would be $64-16 = $48/night. Will this work? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 The 3* hotel has not yet been identified.Somebody else may know better, but the Tuscany Suites looks to be about a mile from the strip... which is a long mile in the desert heat. However, you may want to call the hotel and ask them to know for certain, and they may have a shuttle that goes to the strip on a scheduled basis.The Double the Difference should work (assuming it's for the same room type) since it's a publicly available rate and doesn't require a special group membershiip, but just make sure that the HOTWIRE fees (relative to the Expedia fees) don't eat up all the savings.The big convention is the International Council Of Shopping Centers.

Snyder81 Posted March 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Thanks for booking this before I did. :) I was in Vegas one time and my friends stayed at the Circus Circus while another buddy and me stayed at the MGM Grand. I wasn't impressed with Circus Circus - Thanks for identifying it and I hope your mother-in-law loves it! :) Moderator, can you update the Hotwire hotel list with Circus Circus? Link to comment

Snyder81 Posted December 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 We ended up booking direct at the Excalibur. We wanted to be on a specific part of the strip and didn't want to risk being stick with a long walk. Thanks for all the help and sorry it took so long to update this. Link to comment
