Hotwire Hotel: Identify 4* Las Vegas- Near Strip South Area

[jjlo]

I need help identifying a 4* in Las Vegas that is listed near south strip area.

It's $63 per night for the days Sept 22-25

The amenities are as follows:

Resort

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

Kitchenette

Spa Services

Since it says "near" strip south, does that mean that it could be far from the strip?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you look at the boundaries of this zone you'll see that the entire zone is South of the airport, which by most people's standards is not 'the strip' they're looking for when going to Vegas... is this the area you want to stay or are you looking for a hotel that is actually around the main part of the strip?

What is your maximum budget per nite for this stay?

I was looking for something on the strip and I would like to pay maximum around $100 per night and there will be four people in the room so I'm not sure if I should use PRICELINE since it only guarantees accommodation for two people. A 4* would be ideal, a 5* is even better since the rooms are bigger. I'm not sure how much more I'll have to pay for resort fees and fees for two extra people so I would like the base price to be right under $100. There is a 5* listed on HOTWIRE in the north area for $113 but I'm not sure what else that could be besides the Trump because it doesn't have a casino. I could be wrong, but I think the Trump is the only 5* on the north strip that doesn't have a casino. Although I'm not interested in the Trump, I'm quite sure I'd be able to get it cheaper on PRICELINE. Should I maybe take my chances on bidding on PRICELINE since most of the hotels automatically come with one bed plus a sofa bed, which would be fine for the four of us? Or would I be able to call the hotel after purchasing, and ask if they can reserve a room with two beds?

Unfortunately $100 doesn't go that far directly on the strip for weekend dates, and if wanting to guarantee quad occupancy it gets even tougher since extra person charges in Vegas typically run $15-$30 per person per nite.

With PRICELINE there i no guarantee that the hotel will be able, or willing, to 'upgrade' your room to accommodate quad occupancy... so there is a chance that you could receive a room with only one bed (and no sofabed).

Whether to use PRICELINE depends upon how much risk you're willing to accept (ie- note above regarding receiving a room with only one bed and possibly not being able to upgrade) as well as the unknown of additional costs, if any, should you be able to request a room with two beds and/or 'declare' quad occupancy.

You don't mention if the 4 people are all adults, but if you search HOTWIRE for 2adults/2children often the price won't increase since the additional guests are children, and you also guarantee quad occupancy (although the second 'bed' could still simply be a sofabed in the room). If you go this route and are actually 4 adults you can simply only have two people go to the counter to check-in with the 'kids' wondering elsewhere in the lobby.

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

I'm looking at the hotel described above for a Oct 21 - 24 stay. It has the amenities listed and an 80% approval rating, $64/nt. Any ideas on what it is ? Thanks!
