Wyotraveler Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hey all I am hoping that we will be back sort of normal this coming October, as I have some time off in October and found both a great airfare and a great hotel rate for a trip to Las Vegas. In any event I was able to get a room at Vdara Hotel & Spa for just $72 a night. Below is the following rate information from my booking at the MGM Resorts website for my trip to Las Vegas on October 25 - October 30, 2020. Daily room rate: $72.42 / night Taes: $44.68 Ressort Fee: $255.11 Total: $665.65 On side the MGM Resorts website shows room rates from $112 even on the page listing actual room categories and rates, so I wonder if my rate is a mistake. Also would note that I paid a small refundable deposit to make my reservation. I checked a number of other sites including Priceline and Hotwire using the links at this site and can't find anything this good. With the deal I got I just hoping that everything is back some sort of normal. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Looks like a very nice deal. I'm sure hotel revenue managers are having a difficult time at the moment pricing rooms since they really don't have any track record to gauge on how quickly demand will come back. Nice job looking ahead and picking this up while you can. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Wyotraveler Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just posting a follow-up about my room rate. Unless I book a nonrefundable reservation I continue to check room the hotel I have booked and other that I might be interested in. In any event I did this for the Vdara and the daily room rate when up to an average of 118.73 / night. While still being on the fence about taking a trip I am glad that I recognized the great rate and booked it when I did. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 A very nice lesson for others! I always suggest booking RefundableRates... it never hurts, but it could help! Even if the rate today only looks 'ok', it may be a very attractive price later if rates continue to move higher.

Wyotraveler Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I am posting another follow-up, as I found an even better room rate via the PRICELINE link on this site. I was to get the same type of room at the same hotel for less. Below is my new room rate information. Daily rate: $55.97 Total with taxes and fees: $607.30 vs $665.65 Just telling anyone that pays to shop around, especially after you have booked a refundable room rate. Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Congrats on the lower rate and kudos to you for sticking with it, continuing to check rates. We're probably 3-4 months away, but we do have plans to re-launch RateDrop which will do all of the monitoring for you! Hope your lucky streak continues in Vegas!
