Hotwire Hotel: 4* Strip South - MGM?

[RobbieRob]

Hi!

I want to have the MGM Grand for my 2 nights in Las Vegas.

This is on Hotwire:

4* Hotel, Strip South for $65 a night.

Amenities: Casino, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa.

It's also been rated 4 out of 5 on tripadvisor and has 1840+ customer review - which is a match if you look up the hotel on tripadvisor.com (1863 reviews at the moment)

So how likely is this going to be the MGM? Could this be any other hotel? If yes, what else could it be (but the 1840+ reviews it shows on hotwire are very close to the 1863 reviews on tripadvisor.com)

[RobbieRob]

Now it shows 69$ - hope it goes down again

There above is a match for the MGM Grand but you can do better than the HOTWIRE rate above...

If click this link to go to MGM Grand... then click the "special offers" link under the dates on the top left corner of the page. In there the "NO REGRETS" package is available for your dates for $72/nite, which would be just about the same as the $65/nite HOTWIRE rate after you include HOTWIRE's fee.

There is also a Summer Splash promo for $90/nite which includes a $35 'entertainment credit' and inner tube rental at the pool and some $$$ off at the spa... if you intend to use the entertainment credit (for use at most of the hotel's restaurants) and/or spend money at the spa and/or rent inner tubes then this may end up being a better deal as well.

The $90 "Summer Splash" is cancellable... the $72 "No Regrets" is not (of course double check cancellation policy youself when booking)

Does this work for your needs?

[RobbieRob]

That's an awesome offer!

But can you tell me why the West Wing King Room is 88$, but way smaller than the regular room? What's so special about that? Does it maybe have a view on the strip (Because it says West wing)?

Also: We will fly on Sunday, August 3rd, from DC to Vegas and want to stay in Vegas until Monday, than go to the Grand Canyon, and come back to Vegas from Tuesday till Thursday. From Tu till Th I will book the MGM. But from Sunday till Monday I thought about booking a different hotel - it should be 4* and have a pool - is there any good offers like the MGM one?

Thank you so much!!!

The West Wing rooms are more recently updated with a 'modern chic' theme... some people like them, but on my recent stay i didn't try for an updade as the consensus from what i had read was that the majority prefer the 'standard' room.

Please remember to use our link to MGM Grand if/when you book the deal above and start a NEW TOPIC for the 'other' nite of your stay.

Just wanted to book the No Regrets Special. It says:

Arriving: Tue Aug 05, 2008 2 Guests

Departing: Thu Aug 07, 2008

1 Grand Tower Room 2 night(s): $144.00

Taxes: $12.96

Total: $156.96

How do deposits work? (Click here) Deposit Due: $78.48

What is the deposit? Do I have to pay that on top? Help! :)

[thereuare]

The deposit is charged (and appears on your credit card bill) at time of booking... the balance is paid at check-out.

(NOTE: the deposit is equal to the first nite room charge and tax)

Please remember to use our link to MGM Grand.

Thanks!

[RobbieRob]

ok, so I don't have to pay that on top?

I will use your link for sure!

[thereuare]

You have to pay for one nite stay upfront (even though its non-refundable)... so you will ultimately be charged for two nites; one when you book and the other after your stay.
