Please double check the amenities...

Does the first property also have a Accessible Bathroom amenity and does the second hotel have a In-Room Accessibility listing?

Whoops, guess I must have forgot to copy those.

The first property does list Accessible Bathroom and the second one lists In-Room Accessibility.

Sorry about that!

The first would be a possible match for Aria. The second would be a possible match for the Vdara or Four Seasons.

$28/nt resort fee

I am thinking this is Cosmopolitan!

Some giveaways are: $114/nt ($181/nt similiar hotels)... just so happens Cosmopolitan just went to $181/nt yesterday

Also, the resort fee at Cosmo according to Priceline is $28

Please help me ID this hotel! If there's a good chance it's Cosmo I'm going to roll the dice and book it!

[thereuare]

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

While the Comsopolitan is a possibility... so would be the Bellagio and/or the Aria (and any others??)

The $28 resort fee may seem like an 'odd' number, but this is merely a $25 Resort fee (a common resort fee plus their 10% hotel tax)... so this is actually a fairly common resort fee amount to see.

As well, the retail rate you're seeing is not the rate of the specific hotel offered, but rather the median lowest rate of hotels of this star rating in the zone over the last 21 days.

So while the Cosmo is certainly a possibility, i think the other above are likely candidates as well and shouldn't be excluded based upon the information provided by PRICELINE.

Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Even if on the Aria PRICELINE page it specifically says $25 fee/nt and the Cosmopolitan and Bellagio PRICELINE pages say $28 fee/nt?

Direct from Bellagio:

For your convenience a $25.00 daily resort fee (subject to applicable tax) will be added to your room account and includes the following hotel services: In-room high speed and wireless Internet, In-room local and toll-free calls, Fitness Center access, and airline boarding pass printing.

Direct from Cosmopolitan:

Touché! Hmmmm...

Now after looking at it, I am beginning to think its Bellagio!

It lists Free Internet under the amenities of the express deal and Bellagio is the only one who has "complimentary wifi"

Think I might be onto something?

Edit: nevermind, so does Aria.... Dang this is hard!

[AaronJB]

Would either be acceptable?

Both are really nice. I've already stayed at Aria and wanted to try a new place. Bellagio was my favorite casino to gamble at

by far. Excellent casino staff

[thereuare]

I think the Aria, Cosmopolitan, and Bellagio is about as far as you'll likely be able filter this down since the items in the description above are so common for a Vegas hotel. Of these the Aria is usually won most often thru PRICELINE's bidding side of their service, so that may be more likely from a pure 'numbers' point of view.

If you're willing to pay a little more you may have a better chance at targeting a specific property by using HOTWIRE.

I ended up booking the Aria directly instead of gambling with a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal
