Hotwire Hotel: Las Vegas Hotels March and April

[akhon]

Hi all,

Just want to share the details of a few hotel reservations made through Hotwire to help out in your decision-making process.

Flamingo Las Vegas - 3.5* - The Strip

March 23, 2005 for 2 nights at $50 / night

Amenities are Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Gym, Spa, Golf, Tennis, Business Centre

Note: Appears to be a good deal. Boooking with the hotel directly was going to be $75 / night (latest rate calendar shows $105).

Golden Gate - 2.5* - Downtown Las Vegas

March 30, 2005 for 2 nights at $35 / night

Amenities are Casino, Restaurant

Note: Unfortunately this turned out to be the first bad deal I got through Hotwire. It's actually cheaper to book directly through the hotel or via www.vegas.com - their rates seem higher but the booking fee on Hotwire more than nullify the saving - and booking fee is not eligible for the Double the Difference guarantee.

Venetian - 5* - Customer Favourite - The Strip

April 3, 2005 for 2 nights at $117 / night

Amenities are Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Gym, Spa, High Speed Internet, Golf, Tennis, Business Centre

Note: Definitely good deal!!! Hotel charging $169 / night. Was hoping to stay at Paris Las Vegas (admittedly my favourite) but booking through the Paris website is $139 / night, so why wouldn't you want to pay less for the Venetian?

Good luck everyone.
