Hotwire Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip North) Venetian

[westcoastcyc]

Had a really close call this morning. I plugged in January 5th-9th, 2012 for Las Vegas and I saw a 5 star(North Strip) with a Bed Choice/SPA/Resort/Fitness Center/Swimming Pool/Restaurant and High Speed Internet access. Came on to this site to see what hotel it might be and must of spent a little too much time away because when I went back to purchase, it timed out on me. I figured from the information that I gathered here that the hotel would be Palazzo or Venetian.

I went back in after it timed out and the bed choice was gone, but the price was still 116$ so I figured it was the same place. The amenities were the same but just without the Bed Choice option, turned out to be Trump International, it was not what I was expecting :) . I called Hotwire a few hours later after reading reviews about Trump International and explained what had happened to me earlier in the day. I told the CSR that I really wanted a hotel with a Bed Choice and that this trip was for a Honeymoon. The CSR made a one time exception for me and refunded my money for that earlier purchase (Already got the confirmation email for the cancellation.).

I went back in just an hour ago and saw the same description with the Bed Choice, I quickly booked a King and it turned out to be the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino (One of the ones I was aiming for in the first place.). It was a dollar more(per night) than when I first saw it 14 hours earlier, but I was relieved.

Trump would of been a great deal if I was there for anything but a Wedding/Honeymoon (Especially without a car!). The issues I read about the loud train whistles in the middle of the night and the 10 minute walk from the Strip made me glad I was able to have a "do over".

Thanks BetterBidding! Thanks Hotwire! (Especially for the great CSR, I even took the time to do the survey after the call.)
