For the LAS hotel:

My guess would be doubletree.

Unfortunately neither of these hotels have been identified as of yet.

The prices of these two hotels are a opposite ends of the spectrum and i have often been of the opinion that Priceline and Hotwire are not always the best deal in Vegas (slight pun intended :) )

What type of quality hotel are you seeking and what is your budget. I bet we can help you find something along the lines of what you're looking for (as i already think i have better picks than either of the above hotels)

If the above is the DoubleTree it is available directly thru their website for $89.

Like i said, there are often better deals to be had in Vegas than Priceline or Hotwire (unless trying for a 5* property).

I want to maximize the hotwire guarantee. Need a place with a free shuttle to the airport.

Thanks!

Need a place with a free shuttle to the airport

None of the hotels that you have asked about have a free shuttle to the airport.

I want to maximize the hotwire guarantee

So does this mean that you would rather get a Hotwire hotel for $125 that you could otherwise get direct for $110 (bringing your net cost to $95) rather than get a hotel for $50 without the guarantee?

It's great when we can use the Double the Difference Guarantee to our advantage, but looking for any hotel just so that you can maximize their guarantee doesn't seem to make much sense to me (IMO).
