Hotwire Hotel: Helping starting Vegas search

[mbuck]

My son is getting married so we're taking a trip to Vegas first.

 

He's never been so I want him to have a great time. I figure I need one of the Strip locations on Hotwire, but is one better than the other?

 

I really want a great view, am I going to give that up by booking through Hotwire. The 5* hotels at $95 even $75 w 95% recommendations does sound great; even a 4* at $40 but don't want to get shuffled into a room without a great view to take it all in when we're not out and about.

 

We're planning on going in July, probably 12-15

 

Thanks from a newbie-Vegas guy

I think this is more of a personal reference. You'd be OK with South, Center or North zone.

Pretty much. The hotel isn't going to give you one of the better view rooms. But you can always call the hotel and ask for an upgrade mentioning the wedding or offer to pay for a good view room.

 

I hope this answer your questions.

It looks like your dates have a tiny bit of flexibility.  Consider checking rates for individual days via Hot.wire or PRICELINE EXPRESS.  Rates can vary a lot with weekend/week days, holidays, and events.  Sometimes just shifting a day or so one way or the other can save quite a bit.

We didn't end up going to Vegas, otherwise I would've reported a win.
