so at boardwalklv.com (of course using the link provided here) the Luna park room is priced at a total of $239 before tax. I am assuming this is the room that is given to HW customers. If not even the lower tower room is $300 before taxes. So a DTD claim could net:

Luna Park room : 320-239 = 81 x 2 = dtd refund of $162.00 or a net for 5 days of $191.95 (353.95-162)

at boardwalklv.com with tax direct is $260.51 so a total savings of 68.56

the friends I'm going to attempt this for are currently at the Stratosphere for about $69 but want to move to more center strip but keep about the same price.

I think i read some reviews at TripAdvisor that stated that there were some rooms that are only given to wholesalers and are not even bookable at their website. I'm not sure how accurate this is since the user was unhappy with their stay and complaing a lot about... but i do know they have MANY different room classes here.

thats what I was afraid of. I might just convince them to go for the lower tower at $300 plus 9% tax direct or the upper tower at $350 plus tax since it's a better location and about the same price as the Strat.
