Hotwire Hotel: General Hotwire Timing Question

[zekekelso]

First of all, I'm new to Hotwire; really enjoying this forum and having fun playing "guess the casino." I'll be sure to book through your HOTWIRE link when the time comes.

Anyway, I'm a long-time PRICELINE user chased away by the Trump fiasco (similar to the earlier Westin fiasco). Timing on Priceline is fairly consistent: you can usually count on getting the best deals about a week before check-in. How does timing typically work with Hotwire?

I fully understand things can go up, they can go down, nothing is guaranteed, yada yada yada. But just as a general rule, do better deals come along closer to check in? I'm specially looking for one night, Friday March 27th in Vegas. I like nice places on the strip (who doesn't?) but am more of a deal chaser than anything (I've got a $20 room booked at Hooters for the 26th).

I understand there is no "correct" answer, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

I don't necessarily agree with this statement, but if this is your theory/experience, then the same would apply to HOTWIRE purchases.

For additional info you can see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ (same is applicable to HOTWIRE)
