Hotwire Hotel: Las Vegas Strip Hotel Verification

[luv2study]

Looking at Hotwire Hotels for 10-17 to 10-20-2013 for 3 people. I would prefer to stay as close as possible to Caesars Palace as that is where the rest of my group is at but my main priority is getting to stay at a nice property on the strip while spending less money then it would to stay at Caesars Palace which quoted me for all 3 nights under the group rate $733.00 before taxes. I am looking at primarily the 5* properties but might be willing to consider other star options if it can get me closer to Caesars Palace.

I was trying to see if I could the Cosmo or Bellagio maybe even the Aria.

Could this 5* The Strip - South Area Hotel for $192 a night be one of those (but I am thinking it is probably the Four Seasons instead since there is no mention of a casino):

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet

Golf

Spa

Accessible for Blind

Accessible for Deaf

Accessible for Travel

In-room Accessibility

Handicap Parking

Roll-in Shower

I found under the Strip- North area hotel a 5* for $181.00 which I believe to be either the Palazzo or Venetian. I am hoping someone else can double check my conclusion to make sure I am not missing anything.

Free Parking

Resort

Suite

Casino

Fitness Center

Pool

Restaurant

Business Center

Hi-Speed Internet

Golf

Tennis

Spa

Accessible for Blind

Accessible for Deaf

Accessible for Travel

In-room Accessibility

Accessible Bathroom

Welcome to Betterbidding.

The 5* North would be a possible match for the Venetian or Palazzo.

5* South - If you go back to HOTWIRE and click this offer from the search results page, then on the ensuing page click the 'See all' link under the amenities, do you see more than what you've posted above?

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Thanks for the confirmation on the 5* North

On the 5* South the amenities that I listed are the from that page and there isn't any other ones listed on the amenities listed. I get the list below when I click on all amenities and the list above was what I got when I click on book it and then see more and I believe the lists are the same...All that is on the list are:

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

Golf

Spa

Accessible for the blind

Accessible for the deaf

Accessible path of travel

In-Room accessibility

I'm getting a diffrent amenity set when replicating your search.

Try this,

HOTWIRE has a new interface which is not currently showing the complete set of amenities at the usual point of the search process.

Please try the following:

• use this link to search HOTWIRE
  
• from the search results page click the offer for this hotel
  
• on the next page click BOOK NOW (no worries about purchasing by accident since no credit card information is entered up to this point)
  
• on the left side of the page click the 'See all amenities' link

If you follow the above, do you now see more amenities then previously?

Yellowdog.

[luv2study]

The only time I have the option on the left side to "see all amenities" is on the 2nd page which is also the same as the "see all amenities" in the middle of the 2nd page.

The 2nd page has the same amenities listed as the 3rd page does which I get to when I click book now and click on see more which is on the right side, not the left side, and says "see more".

I do not have the option to see all amenities on the 3rd page after clicking to book now. The only items I have on the 3rd page are sign in, traveler information, billing information all in the middle and on the right the trip summary where I can click the "see more" which shows me the same amenities as the previous page both of which I put in above.

I do not have any other options to see any other different types of amenities. I went ahead and even created a hotwire account and went back into hotwire again with the link on this website and I still do not have any option to see any other additional amenities then what I was able to provide previously.

I promise, before I even started this thread I looked and provided the only amenities from both pages that I am able to see because of reading previous postings and being familiar with what you guys usually ask for. From everything I can look at when I go into hotwire for this hotel there is no other amenities I have the option to look at except what is provided above. I have tried everything I can think of to try to find any other amenities and there is nothing more that I am seeing on which I can click to get any other amenities listing. Sorry, but I don't know what else I can do to be able to see the amenities you are finding. Any other suggestions/ideas?

Thanks ever so much!

luv2study,

I believe you are on a non-US version of the HOTWIRE site.

Please change the drop down menu on the top right of HOTWIRE's page to United States and the currency dropdown to US Dollars. Then continue to search HOTWIRE and post to the board in US Dollars so that rates are consistent and not subject to interpretation due to future currency fluctuation. Once you're ready to purchase stay on the US version of their site and simply change the drop down menu to whatever currency you'd like to use and complete your purchase.

I believe the amenities you posted above will be the same once on the US site, but the pricing will be different since the US site shows room rate per nite while the non-US shows after fees and taxes. For consistency purposes please use the method above and post the room rate per nite of each as it appear on the US site and we'll have a closer look at the offer(s) above (and please remain in the US site to make your purchase... although you can purchase in whatever currency you'd like by adjusting the drop down menu)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks.

I am on the US version of their site. When I use the link the USD is selected already and has been all along. Nothing has changed. I went ahead and called HOTWIRE to verify and they confirmed that I am using the US site when I am looking at this hotel. There is no field other than the rate per night field for me to update in the upper right corner. It shows the rate per night. I am wondering if perhaps this response might have been intended for another individual who is asking a different question than I am.

Thanks

[thereuare]

My reply was intended for you as while i'm seeing the same hotel(s), the prices i am seeing are less (and by the amount of taxes/fees), so i thought that you were on a non-US site which includes the taxes and fees into the number displayed.

To get back on track, here is what i'm currently seeing when searching HOTWIRE for your dates:

5* Strip North $150/nite

Resort

Free Parking

Suite

Casino

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Golf

Tennis

Spa

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... best guess for this one would be the Venetian or the Palazzo.

5* Strip South $162/nite

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Golf

Spa

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... while this could be the Four Seasons, i have reason to think that it's something different, although i'm not sure what; the Aria hiding some of the amenities it has previously been seen with?? (i'm really not sure)

5* Strip South $137/nite

Free Parking

Free Internet

Suite

Smoke Free

Fitness

Pool

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Golf

Spa

Blind Accessible

... Vdara would be my best guess for this one.

Are you seeing these properties? Are any of these of interest for this stay?

Ok, now I believe I see why you were asking about the rates and why you were not getting the same results as I am. I have been searching for 3 people and came up with the prices I have listed originally. If I change my search to 2 people I get the same prices that you provided on your last response. So the one that you have stated as $162.00 a night is the same one hotel I was trying to figure out which hotel it might be in my original post for 3 people the price for it is $193.00 today(was $192.00 yesterday). Glad we have that mystery figured out.

Thank you for taking the time to help get it all sorted and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused in this regard in my posts.

So it appears that the one you have for $162.00 (and I listed as $192.00 originally) is a bit of a mystery to both of us as to which place it is so I probably will not be taking the gamble to find out. And since when I call the hotels directly it appears that if I select any of these hotels from Hotwire one of the members in our group would end up sleeping on a sofa bed I think I am going to not go through Hotwire at all to get my accommodations. Therefore, you can go ahead and close this thread. Thanks again.
