europe-chick Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 Hiya,This is probably a 'dumb blonde' question, but I'll go ahead and ask it anyway!I've used Hotwire successfully before booking just the one room for myself and my husband.This time I will need 3 rooms in Vegas, for 4 people.If I search for 3 rooms for 4 people, and find an offer that I'm happy with, I will get the same hotel for all 3 rooms won't I? Sorry if it's probably obvious that I will, I didn't want to go ahead and book and end up with us all in different hotel, especially as I'm in charge of the hotel booking!europe-chick aka dumb blonde!

AaronJB Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 5* North - would potentially be a match for the Wynn.5* South - likely match for the Aria.5* South - match for Vdara or Four Seasons, but I'd lean towards the former.5* North - likely Trump.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
europe-chick Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Posted November 25, 2012 thanks for the reply.I'm surprised at the large difference between the prices for north and south strip (Trump excluded), is there a reason that the north strip is so much higher?I wasn't expecting to have to pay that much through Hotwire.Would I be better trying to bid on priceline, do they typically go for less on priceline.
AaronJB Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 North Strip is generally more popular and more expensive than South Strip; PRICELINE would very likely be cheaper but the issue would be less control over where you may end up. If you bid on a 5* North Strip, for example, you have to be willing to stay at *any* 5* in the shaded zone area (whereas with HOTWIRE, you can try to make an educated guess as to which hotels are showing.)What would be your desired budget per night for this stay?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 ...is there a reason that the north strip is so much higher?Due to the zone boundaries and who owns the 5* hotels in each zone, there is a little less competition in the North Strip zone and with less competition it's a little easier for them to maintain a slightly higher price.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

europe-chick Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Still not booked a Vegas hotel, as I'm watching the prices for a 5star north strip hotel and hoping that they'll come down a bit. Once I'm happy with the price I'll book and post the details here.

thereuare Posted January 4, 2013 Report Posted January 4, 2013 Do you now only need one room for this 5/12-5/16 stay?What prices are you currently seeing?

europe-chick Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Posted January 4, 2013 I'm currently seeing $154 for a 5 star strip north. I'm wanting $125 to then account for a $25 daily resort fee. My ideal max is $150 per night.I may or may not need 3 rooms, there's a bit of conflict between the group as to where to stay!! We may all end up in different hotels at this rate!!The dates are still the same - a 4 night stay from 5/12.I do use the links for my searches.

europe-chick Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Posted January 6, 2013 thanks for all the help and advice.booked Planet Hollywood in the end on their own website and got a rate of $71 per night, no resort fee either.would rather have held out for a HOTWIRE 5star within our budget but the rest of our group wanted to book Planet Hollywood and were grouching about us all staying in different hotels!that's what happens when you holiday with friends hey!!
