Hotwire Hotel: Las Vegas Strip 4/5* for 9/12/14-9/14/14

[DenverIrie]

Hi - I'm new here and have no idea how to start. I'm looking for a 4/5* hotel on the Strip for 9/12/14-9/14/14. My only real requirements are two queen beds and a nice pool. I would love the Aria, Vdara or Cosmo - but I know I can't name the hotel. Is $125 a night realistic? 

 

I have no idea where to start so I might need some serious hand holding...

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

There is no way to guarantee exact bed type. Your best bet is to search for more than 2 people on Hot.wire - but even then that should result in some sort of bedding for the entire party - it may mean 2 beds, but could also mean 1 + sofabed or 1 + rollaway.

 

Is two beds a must?

Yeah, two beds is a must (there will be more than 2 of us).

 

Do you think $125 is realistic at all?

PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request.(or there could be an extra charge for a room with two beds, which has become the norm in Vegas)

When you need two beds HOTWIRE would be a better option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc) Would a pullout safabed, rollaway, etc. be acceptable as the second bed?

If so, searching HOTWIRE for 4adults shows one hotel within your budget, a 4* hotel priced at $102/nite with:

Free Parking

... best guess for this property would be the Westin Casuarina, which is actually located slightly off-strip.

Does this work for your needs this stay?

That's not bad! I'd be willing to settle for that for sure. I'd be willing to go up to $150 a night if it meant right on the strip or a 5* though.

Westin is a very short walk from the Strip. And if you're happy with the price and amenities would I go for this.

How do you want to play this?

True. But I have a little bit of time so I want to make sure I've explored all my options. Our preference would be to be right on the strip in one of the large casinos (such as Paris, Bellagio, Aria, Palazzo, MGM, etc).

Are you seeing any other listings of interest on HOTWIRE? In terms of 5*, given that the Trump is now a possibility as a 5* in Strip North via PRICELINE bidding, you may want to stick to HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS (where you can make an educated guess as to which hotels are showing) instead at the 5* level in Strip North.
