baldtomato Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Las Vegas is so confusing on Hotwire... coz all the hotels are so well equipped, it's hard (for amateurs like me) to guess the ID!!Here are my two contenders:4* South Strip $77ResortCasinoRestaurant(s)Pool(s)Fitness CenterSpa ServicesHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbyBusiness Center4* North Strip $81(basically all of the above w/out "Resort", in the following order... i'm not sure if the listed-order matters to ID but here it is)CasinoRestaurant(s)Pool(s)Fitness CenterSpa ServicesHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbyBusiness CenterI had found the Excalibur for $69 standard room directly from their site for the above dates - would it be counted as a 3.5* or 4* on hotwire?I have also gone to EasyClickTravel (aided by the extremely cool reverse tool from this site) - and found Aladdin for the above dates for $71. I used to think the Aladdin was cool and unique, but i'm not too sure about trading that for Planet Hollywood! In any case, would the Aladdin be classified as North or South strip on Hotwire? (in real life, it seems to be on "centre strip" to me!). I'm mentioning this coz if either of the above 2 hotwire results = Aladdin then obviously I'd just forget about Hotwire and book thru EasyClickTravel instead.It seems that the South Strip hotels are nicer, we would love to be in the Mandalay Bay although MB is unlikely going to have so many empty rooms to be pawned off to discount sites! If we can stay around $85 or below, any of the other 4*hotels on the strip would do fine except the Luxor (my mom just feel bad vibes about staying there, don't ask me).Thanks for all the wonderful resources you provide (and for all my previous trips too!)
thereuare Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 The 4* South Strip is a match for the Luxor (this has actually been reported without an Internet icon but i suspect that it has been added since previously won) while the 4* North Strip is a match for the Aladdin... these would be our best guess on each.

baldtomato Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks a lot!$77 for the Luxor is actually a really good price! too bad my mom is in the travel party and won't be happy with that.I might just book the Aladdin with EasyClickTravel then... I'll certainly update here when I find my best option.
thereuare Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Another benefit of EasyClickTravel is that their reservations are cancellable up until 72 hours before arrival date... so it gives you a good deal and also still leaves the door open to try to better it.

baldtomato Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Posted March 7, 2006 Finally decided to book the Aladdin via EasyClickTravel"Off the Record"= Aladdin Resort & Casino - $71 2 nights - Aug 21 - 23, 2006"Deluxe room" (whatever that means) for 2 adultsaverage price after fees and taxes = $77.91 each nightWhen will the Aladdin officially become (and look like) a Planet Hollywood establishment... actually?
thereuare Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Glad you found something that works well for your needs and thank you for using our EasyClickTravel link for your purchase.Nobody has seen a timeframe for the 'full conversion', but maybe/hopefully they'll be done by the summer in time for your arrival.Good Luck in Vegas!
