The 4* hotel is a match for Planet Hollywood while the 3.5* is a match for Harrahs so that would be our best guess for each.

Price couldn't have jumped $34 dollars in a matter of a day could it?

Yes it could...

Just checked 2 seconds ago and Planet Hollywood seems to be back, I'd like to know if we know what hotel is the $103 as we would also like to consider staying in that Hotel if it is significantly nicer.

Has a Best Value tag.

The amenities for each 4* hotel you're seeing appear the same to me (correct me if i'm wrong)... i think it's the same hotel (even though the price at one point was much higher than currently)

The amenities are the same but when it came out 69, Hotwire said it retails for 100, but for this one, Hotwire says it retails for $125.

Is it possible that Hotwire changes the retail price?

Does it seem logical that the price changes by 34 dollars for the same dates in a matter of 1 to 2 days?

This seems to be a match for Flamingo right? I just want to "ensure" that the 103 hotel isn't a much better one that this, otherwise, I'm pretty okay with Flamingo.

[thereuare]

The reatail pricing is often not associated with the actual hotel shown, so that is usually not a relaible factor to use in identifying hotels.

The HOTWIRE 3.5* above (i'm assuing it is 3.5* rated) is a match for the Flamingo so that would be our best guess.

Let us know how it goes.

I have been trying to book the 3.5* customer favorite (ie Flamingo) through Hotwire for the past 3 days without success. I'm getting Error #111 which says that the itinerary is not available.

I have contacted Hotwire numerous times and they have told me to call them. Still figuring out how to call them all the way here from the Philippines.

This is my first crack at Hotwire and it has been rather discomforting.

I'm trying to book it

1/9 - 1/10 $79

1/10-1/12 $59

rather than if you were to book 1/9-/12 then it would be $79/night the whole stay thru.

But no success so far, very frustrated.

Thank GOD my bookings didn't push through I realized that the Flamingo rooms that I was booking were the DELUXE rooms, those are the OLD and dirty rooms (which accounts for the trashing their getting from TripAdvisor), I was looking at the Flamingo site and was looking at the newly renovated GO rooms (glowing praises from TripAdvisor) and thought that the $59 deal in Hotwire were those rooms. It's good that I realized it wasn't and went ahead to book directly on the Flamingo (Harrah's) website which came out $90 / $75 /$90, make sure you click the hot DEALS link at the top of the page.
