dbrociner Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Just accepted this offer from hotwire for 3 nights at a "north strip" 4* for $188 a night. Ended up with the Paris. I don't know much about this hotel but it seemed like the best deal I could get for a 4* in this part of the strip. I had really wanted the Venetian and had been bidding on Priceline after seeing some of the wins on the Priceline Map but after taking that up to $189 and not winning I bailed and took the safer route instead. I've always had good luck with Hotwire hotels so I hope this will be good. I think the timing of not checking out until Saturday hurt my chances of getting a better deal, Super Bowl is that Sunday and I guess Vegas will be jammed with people in town to bet the game. I tried doing splits but it didn't really seem worth the hassle, separating out Friday night just made the whole package more expensive. I didn't check with sites like Expedia so I don't know if I could have done better there. Doesn't really matter now, I'm done. Anyone have any recommendations for good restaurants not run by celebrity chefs? If I have to look at another giant picture of Bobby Flay's face I think I'm going to puke. BTW, I'd just like to say that the Priceline maps are amazing, awesome, etc. Greatest idea you've had and you've had some good ones. Keep up the good work. David

dbrociner Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Posted November 12, 2006 Sorry, I should have remembered to do that: Casino, Fitness, Pool, Restaurants, Business Center, High Speed Internet, Golf, Tennis, Spa. After posting I did check with Expedia and found that this deal isn't much better than I could have done there. I saved only about $10 on the whole deal. Of course, I didn't know that this was the hotel when I bid. Since the price for the first two nights is actually higher than I could have gotten elsewhere do I have any recourse with hotwire?
thereuare Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Since HOTWIRE shows you the average nite per stay, the Double the Difference Guarantee is based upon the total room cost (before taxes and fees) for the complete stay. Therefore, hotwire was still less expensive in this instance so no refund would be due.If you're unsure of a hotel before purchase you should feel free to ask for help from the board.
