thereuare Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 This property has not yet been identified, but with the 2.5* TripAdvisor rating it might be best to stay away. The Atrium Suites seems to fit but that hotel doesn't offer Complimentary Breakfast, so i'm really not sure.What is your budget and goal fo this trip?

cianciolo Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I think the atrium suites is the 3.5* one that comes up right after this one in the Hotwire search for $89. I did not know about the Trip Advisor rating which can be seen by selecting the hotel. I looked on the Trip Advisor website and the Emerald Suites Tropicana is a possible match, it has the same Trip Advisor rating with 20+ reviews like they say and the last one in May 2007. The only thing that I could not find on their website is that they have complimentary breakfast. That is what attracted me to this one, could save some money that way. I was looking to spend less than $90 but could go to $100 if needed and hoping for a 3* or better does not have to be on the strip. Thanks for the information. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 ...that they have complimentary breakfast. That is what attracted me to this one, could save some money that wayI think Vegas is one area where complimentary breakfast is worth almost no added value... you can often find very inexpensive ($5 and under) breakfast specials, coupons for buffets which you can fill up to count as both breakfast and lunch, and each would likely be better than a hotel's "complimentary breakfast".How about the Sahara for $89/nite?Does that work for your needs?

cianciolo Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah that may work. I was also looking at a 3* condo in the airport area which I identified as The Grandview at Las Vegas. I see it is pretty far from the strip but looks very nice it was $99 this morning but now is $104. Do you know anything about it? Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 It's a timeshare so expect frequent "invitations" to listen to a sales pitch in exchange for some perk... usually the sales pitches are harder sells than most expect and it almost always takes longer then they say it will... so if you do end up staying here i would avoid them regardless of the perk offered. Otherwise the reviews are decent although one reviewer put it that it's a good 10-15 minutes from the strip.It sounds nicer than the Sahara, but with a much worse location. At least at the Sahara you can walk (if it's not too hot) to the Strip (granted it's a long walk, but i've done it) or just hop on the local bus for $2.25 and be in the heart of the strip in just a few minutes.So i guess it depends what you're looking for... a nicer property or a better 'vegas' experience.Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help... if you do go for the condo please use our HOTWIRE lik to begin your purchase (or the Sahara link above if you go that route) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
cianciolo Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I looked at the the Sahara through your link for lastminutetravel.com. In the hotel description it mentions a $3 energy surcharge and $1 phone charge per night. Do you know if those charges are included in the total quoted with taxes and fees on the next page after you hit book it? Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Probably not... this is an additional fee assessed by the hotel, applicable to all guests. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
cianciolo Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 I book the Doubletree near the airport today on their website which I can cancel within 24 hours with no penalty. It is $89 a night. So I will keep that as a backup and see if the rates go down any further. I will let you know what happens. Thanks for all the information. Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Please note, as per our SUPPORT PAGE we are an affiliate of the Doubletree... hopefully you used our link for your reservation :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
cianciolo Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Sorry I was unaware of the support page and your affiliation with Doubletree so I did not use it. I could cancel and make the reservation again with the link if you think it is worth it. Link to comment
travelAlot Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 $88/night8/17 for 2 nightsSuite, Complimentary Breakfast, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Golf Nearby, SpaThanksOne other thought re the hotel identity of the hotel description -- that started this thread. Possibly Embassy Suites which offers the comp breakfast -- for a recent stay that I was researching, the same 3-star hotel description Near Strip East was $109, while the published Embassy Suites rate was $118. Also nearby are the Amerisuites (you know how HOTWIRE jacks up its ratings from 2.5 to 3.0 sometimes) and a couple Marriott Residence Inns (both do the free breakfast and would possibly be 3-stars in Hotwire terms). But my hunch is that it may be Embassy Suites (the one that's closer to the convention center where there tends to be less demand on a Friday night). Link to comment
jaggar Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 This looks to be Extended Stay Deluxe Las Vegas - East FlamingoLook it up in trip advisor and everything matches up, even the comp breakfast. I would stay away if you want to get a casio type atmos Link to comment
