yellowdog Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 If you're trying to target a specific property then HOTWIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.But I think your budget is to small for the moment. Taxes and fees adds up the total. I belive that the 5* on HOTWIRE for your dates is the Venetian priced at $143.How does this sound to you?Yellowdog. Link to comment
luismex Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 143 i getting out of my budget. Now what would be my other 5* Hotel choices considering my $100 budget. I do now that i do not want to stay at the Trump.What do u think are the posibilities to getting maybe one of the following hotels: (listed by preference)1. Bellagio 2. Palazzo 3. Encore 4. Wynn Las Vegas 5. THEhotel at Mandalay Bay Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 There's absolutely no way of knowing what the possibilities of getting a specific hotel are, especially with PRICELINE, as there's no way to see inventory. There's no way of guaranteeing a particular hotel on HOTWIRE, either. Both services are meant to allow people to stay at *a* hotel cheaper, they are not great ways of trying to get a specific hotel. If you are using PRICELINE with a specific hotel in mind, you're more than likely going to be disappointed (for example, what if you bid for a 5* on PRICELINE and got the Trump?) Link to comment
