byeloe Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 Has anyone been able to fgure out what the 4.5* Hotwire hotel is on the vegas strip.I tried using the vacation option but no 4.5* has appeared yet as a part of a vacation package.
thereuare Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 byeloe,I know Vegas pretty well, and might be able to assist if you include the amenities listed along with the hotel. The amenities are often a greater tip-off to the hotel than the star rating, as discussed here: What my be the Hotwire hotel...

byeloe Posted April 7, 2003 Author Report Posted April 7, 2003 Here is an amenities listLas Vegas Strip 4.5*This hotel features the following amenities:CasinoA full-service casino -- including slot/video machines, sports betting, bingo, card games and dice games (depending on state laws) -- is accessible from the hotel lobby.Restaurant(s)At least one restaurant is located on the hotel premises. Pool(s)Hotel features at least one pool area. (Note: This amenity offering may be seasonal. Please check hours/availability directly with the hotel.)Fitness CenterHotel features exercise equipment.Business CenterHotel offers guests access to business equipment/services.Tennis NearbyTennis court(s) within walking distance or a short drive from the hotel.Spa ServicesHotel offers spa services on the premises.Maybe it's the Monte Carlo or Paris?
thereuare Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 I think the tip-off for this one is the tennis, but it is "tennis nearby" which could mean anything :) I looked on Expedia's property description for the Monte Carlo and they mention that they have "lighted tennis courts", so although it's just a guess, that would be my top choice if i had to choose. But again, their "nearby" could include just about any property in Vegas.I thought Bally's also based upon the tennis, but i would think Bally's would be more of a 4* hotel rather than a 4.5*. Paris is a good guess as well, but i would lean toward the Monte Carlo if i had to guess from the standpoint that they offer tennis on the premises.

flovey Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 I too have been curious what hotel this might be.For April 25-27 the 4.5* on Hotwire is at $450 a night.The only hotel that I can find in that price range through other searches is the Mirage - which comes us at $469 a night. Is this a possibility as well? I don't know the hotel to know if it has tennis nearby or not.
thereuare Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 The Mirage's website shows 4/25-4/27 at an average cost of $259/nite, so if it were indeed The Mirage i think Hotwire would lose some money on their "Double the Difference Guarantee" (not that they haven't lost money before, see THIS THREAD from Byeloe)I've stayed at the Mirage a few years ago, and i don't recall any tennis courts on the property, but the "nearby" could always mean that the hotel has a shuttle bus (or taxi) that would take you to the tennis courts (which i think most of the "upper tier" hotels can arrange).Anything is possible, but i would still place my best guess on the Monte Carlo for the reasons in my prior post, although i'm far from certain that this is indeed the property.

flovey Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 If you go to Vegas.com, and to Hotel Discounts.com - the Mirage comes up at $469 a night. I too saw it on the Mirage site for $269. So not sure what to think on this one.
byeloe Posted May 3, 2003 Author Report Posted May 3, 2003 the 4.5* is the Mirage as seen on Hotwire's Packages.they also have Bellegio as a 5* package
thesqueegeekid Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 My guess is "New York New York" as that is the most common one I have seen pop up from Hotwire even when it is not listed in their packages.
thereuare Posted May 4, 2003 Report Posted May 4, 2003 As mentioned above, the 4.5* hotel is (in all likelihood) The Mirage.NYNY is a 4* by Hotwire standards.

membrane Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 MGM Grand and Caesars Palace have been coming up as 4.5*
thereuare Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Membrane,Welcome to BetterBidding!If you take a closer look, the property in question here isn't the MGM or Caesar's because the amenities don't match up with either of them in the NEVADA HOTWIRE HOTELS list, while the Mirage is an exact fit (take special notice of the Golf icon).

membrane Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 My bad, I didn't notice they were talking about vacation packages, not a hotel list.
