Hotwire Hotel: Trying to ID 4* South Strip Hotel

[cesco.g]

Here's what I found:

 

4*, 1/16 - 1/18 (= 2 nights) $ 98  night; total $292.75

 

Amenities shown: (as listed on Hotwire EasyView from BiddingHelper)

 

Free parking, Resort, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s),

Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby,

Spa services, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel,

Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower

 

Looking at the hotel list was a bit inconclusive. So, I klicked thru the price and saw a resort fee of $ 28 / night.

Checking a listing of resort fees there are two properties charging that amount: Mandalay, MGM.

Btw, according to this one list, these two hotel are the highest resort fees listed. Another list shows them at $ 25/night (?)

 

Based on all of the above: it could be the Mandalay....... Not sure if this approach is valid, though?

The above is likely a match for the Luxor.

Note that the $25 vs. $28 is likely the same 'resort fee'... but one is pre-tax and the other is post-tax. ;)

Thanks for the feedback. The Luxor, interesting. I will keep an eye on it and looking at other options as well.

 

P.S. the hotel now shows at $ 88 / night, but Hotwire blanks out!

Thanks for your reply. Using your Bidding.Helper I am seeing now one 4* South Strip as follows:

 

$ 93 on under Easy View tab; here I can still see the full ammenities, and they are the same as above

$ 86 on Hotwire tab; here I cannot see the full ammenities 

 

In both cases, when I click thru to booking the site gets stuck and I cannot see the full/grand total price. e.g. seems to unbookable, it stops at "Book Now" tab and does not proceed. (?)

 

Also used you link to the Las Vegas Rate Checker, thanks.

 

Meanwhile, have friends staying at the NYNY, so that would be preferrable or Monte Carlo next door.

As far as your Vegas trip what is your maximum budget per nite (before fees/taxes) for this trip?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Was able to get thru now using BiddingHelper.com. The $ 86 rate as displayed on the regular Hotwire tab comes out to $ 264 all in.

Checking thru LV Rate Checker, this is getting close to some quotes at regular rates, with the obvious advantage, that the name of the property is known as well. Some rates are coming down, so I will keep an eye on it.
