greg0ire Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 5 Stars for Central strip on Hotwire are stuck at $169Casino Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Golf NearbyI find this rate extraordinarily high. I know it's a based on availability, but I thought Vegas was having trouble! I don't want to go the Priceline route because I really don't want Trump. I much prefer Venetian/Palazzo because I have food/beverage credit and slot credit linked to my stays.Just venting. I know one cannot tell which hotel it is based on the listed amenities. Even if we could, I'm still not happy about the rate. Maybe Red Rock at $72/night won't be so bad.Thanks for listening. Sorry, I don't really have a point to my venting and frustration. When I do book, I'll use the HOTWIRE / PRICELINE Link.
FriscoTom Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 :) The last few days it was reported to be Wynn or Venetian!I got the Wynn with the same amenities you listed above.I would say you will get the Wynn...! Let us know... :)UPDATE: just checked your dates and it seems to be the WYNN! $169 (8 amenities are shown)
greg0ire Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 Not too excited about $169. And as much as I'd like to try the Wynn (love the commercial with him sitting on his hotel), I'd prefer the Palazzo/Venetian that weekend. Reg rate is $269 however.
dahammer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Maybe Red Rock at $72/night won't be so bad.will you say this after paying a $25 per night resort fee at Red Rock?
greg0ire Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 will you say this after paying a $25 per night resort fee at Red Rock?Please see green nauseous icon on the subject thread title. And what exactly does this go toward in February? Maintaining the rocks? Thanks for the heads up.
dahammer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 And what exactly does this go toward in February? Maintaining the rocks?that's a good one!! :) Resort Amenity Fee of $24.99 per night (plus tax) includes:Complimentary Wired and Wireless High Speed In-Room Internet Free and Unlimited Local and 800 calls Daily Local Newspaper Fitness Center access Complimentary Shoe Shine Service Complimentary Airport Shuttle ServiceI have read some wonderful reviews of Red Rock as well as Green Valley Ranch, but the thought of paying a $24.99 "resort amenity fee" makes me retch.....management should either raise rates or charge for services if they are requested. Its disingenuous to charge such a high fee for such a paltry list of services. Anyone staying out here would likely have a car, so what is the value of a shuttle or Red Rock Resort is part of Station Casinos and even some of their "grind joints" charge a $10 resort fee.
greg0ire Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Posted January 13, 2009 Good news! I got the Palazzo to give me a room for $79/night that weekend (no resort fee). Thanks for the dialogue.
FriscoTom Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 :) you paid too much - got a Siena for only $65

greg0ire Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Posted January 14, 2009 I suppose I could have been clearer. It wasn't through either site. I got them to give me the rate after some begging.
arroworra Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I suppose I could have been clearer. It wasn't through either site. I got them to give me the rate after some begging.Hi, greg0ire.I didn't get it well, did that mean that you could win Palazzo at $79 through Hotwire?I'm sorry about this ridicurous question. I'm not good at English.
