Hotwire Hotel: Amenities match Venetian, but coming up as 4.5*?

[mattmcf]

Hi all

Awesome website by the way - have used Hotwire many times without realising you guys existed. Oops!

I was hoping you might be able to help with one issue. I'm flying out to Las Vegas from the UK to meet some friends on 26th April. They're staying in the Venetian and I'm trying to get a room in there for myself between 26th and the 30th. It would just be one person, one room.

From what I can see it looks like the Venetian for those dates is $93 (!) per night. It matches all the amenties on your guide, right down to the Spa that only appears when you expand the 'hotel amenities' section. The only problem is that it shows on Hotwire as 4 1/2 * rather than 5*. Is this a known issue? Am I booking some random place 5 miles from everyone else? :)

Sorry if this has been covered - thanks a lot.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

My guess is that you're probably being offered Ceasars Palace... what are the amenities of the hotel you're being offered?

Thanks - doing a bit more research it looks like that might be the hotel. The amenities match up exactly with the Venetian list on here, right down to the spa that only appears when you expand the amenities section.

I'm guessing HOTWIRE never gets the star rating wrong, so it probably can't be the Venetian?

Star ratings are subject to change (and do change frequently)... but i'd be surprised if the Venetian has been downgraded (or available for $93/nite). It's not uncommon for more than one hotel in the zone, at the same or different star rating, to have the same amenity combination as another property in the same zone.

Cool - thanks for all your help. Will book through the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links here (but of course) and let you know what I decide.

Cheers.
