tim781996 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 I'm staying in Las Vegas from 9/11/12 to 9/13/12. I want a 5* hotel on the South Strip. Hotwire has a 5* on the South Strip for $133/night. They claim to have seven rooms left. Should I book now or take my chances?
thereuare Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!What are the amenities that HOTWIRE associates with this property? What is the goal of waiting... lower price, different hotel, etc?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

tim781996 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Posted July 15, 2012 The goal would be a better price.

thereuare Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 This is what i would do...Click HERE to book the Vdara for $169/nite and it comes with a $75 dining credit. (if you treat this as cash it brings your cost down very close to the $133/nite HOTWIRE rate) This is fully refundable until a few days before your arrival (always double check terms during the checkout process) which gives you the ability to hope for lower prices in the weeks ahead, while protecting yourself should the HOTWIRE offer above disappear or the rate move higher.Does that work for your needs?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
