Hotwire Hotel: One night in Vegas - Hotel Tipps?

[RobbieRob]

Hi! Me, my parents, and my sister 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. Grand 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 online? I am thinking about an offer similar to the MGM one where you can book a room for just 72$/nite on their website? Thank you!

72 a nite? is that the price you got from mgm? on the website i get quoted for 130 a nite.

[RobbieRob]

Yeah, you have to check out their special offers, and select the No Regrets offer - just 72 a night!

RobbieRob,

Almost all 4* hotels in Vegas have a pool... it's a question of how much you're willing to pay for a 'nice' pool.

Monte Carlo is just $80/nite for your dates and has a very nice pool (although note there is construction going on next door to the Monte Carlo... but as there is all over Vegas)... Mirage is $120 and very nice as well.

How much are you willing to spend for this nite of your stay?

marcus321,

If you need help with an upcoming stay please start a NEW TOPIC for your own stay.

Thanks.

Well, I was just wondering if there is a 4* Hotel with a very good price (about 80$) available. Was hoping for an offer similar to the MGM one - but if there isn't one, I am just going to book a hotel that I think is great on Expedia and pay a little bit more.

What are your thoughts about the Caesar's Palace? Why is it so much more expensive than the other 4* Hotels (like MGM, Paris, New York New YOrk,...)?

Flamingo Las Vegas has a $80 rate booking direct for Aug 3rd. The Flamingo has a great pool but the rooms are just ok. If you sign up for Harrah's total rewards you have a good chance of a upgrade to a newly remodeled Go room witch are very nice. My choice on the strip is Planet Hollywood but the pool is a joke.

Some sites consider Caesar's a 5* hotel (i don't) but it is in the upper range of the 4* class. Regardless, rates are determined by individual hotel supply/demand, and this property could have a convention or large party booked for your date above and thereby increasing room rates relative to other properties (although this property does tend to post rates higher than their similarly rated counter parts)

What is the hotel you intend to book thru Expedia (please use our link)

If the rate is good, why not stay at the MGM Grand for both legs of your stay?

I have seen many rooms all the way up to one of their best suites at Caesar's and I would not pay more or go out of my way to stay there.

[RobbieRob]

OK, I simply booked like you suggested with your Expedia link.

Booked the Treasure Island for 89$/night.

Hope we're going to like it!!! Any tips for the stay?

Thanks for posting what you decided to do for this stay (even if it wasn't PRICELINE or HOTWIRE) and for using our Expedia link for your booking.

As far as tips for the stay, just enjoy the strip and go casino hopping... at the very least visit the Wynn, Venetian, Palazzo to see some 5 star quality properties. Most hotels have 'something' to offer.

If you are looking for a show, Mystere was the first Cirque du Solei show that i have seen and is still my favorite... i would try to get tickets if within your budget.
