Hotwire Hotel: 2* Las Vegas (East of Strip) Howard Johnson Tropicana

[MrsPhim]

Was completely surprised by this one. I read the Hotwire hotel list for Las Vegas and was sure it was going to be the 2* Super 8 Las Vegas Strip property. That's what we wanted because it's right behind Bally's, and within less than 0.5 mile walking distance. We were going to be attending the EVO 2013 event held at the Bally's Event Center for this weekend (Fri-Sun, Jul. 12-14, 2013) so the Super 8 would've been just right in location and price, since the strip hotels were priced at mid-$100's per night, not including resort fees and tax. The only 2* confirmed for this area were the Super 8 and Extended Stay. For some reason, Hotwire only showed this property as 2* for east of strip Las Vegas, 70% recommended by Hotwire customer reviews, compare to $62 on other sites, and it actually listed no other amenities other than that. After booking, was thoroughly surprised to see that it was the Howard Johnson on Tropicana, not a bad deal for the price we paid though ($36/night, $87 total for 2 Friday and Saturday), we'll just have to drive but it's not too bad since we'll have a car rental. =) Reviews don't look too bad.
