Hotwire Hotel: 3.5 Star on Hotwire 3/03/05-3/06/05

This looks like Harrah's which is only a $20 discount from their website and I can get Bally's for $132 on their website, Boardwalk for $112 and Tropicana for $104.

Which would be the best or any other suggestion?

I have stayed at the Tropicana and it was pretty good.

Would like something on the strip

When did you last see the above rates?

I'm showing $169/nite for Bally's thru their website. Also, you didn't say what the price of Harrah's was (either thru HOTWIRE or their website), so it's difficult to compare the value of that property to the other choices.

Harrah's was $132 on hotwire.

Bally's average nightly rate was $129 for signing up for their email. $69, 159, 159.

What are the dates of your stay?

The above makes it appear as 3/4-3/6 (2 nites)... is it actually 3/3-3/6 (3 nites)? For consistency dates should be posted as check-in to check-out.

Let us know and then i'll take another look.

Sorry it is the 3, 4, and 5 of March for the nights.

I am so forgetful today

Thru QuickBook:

Imperial Palace for $104/nite

Tropicana Garden Room for $92/nite

Tropicana Tower for $104/nite

Of the three i like the IP for location, and last time i past thru the Tropicana it left a really bad impression on me. If you do stay at the Tropicana, go for the Tower Rooms as they are much nicer than the 'holiday inn style' garden rooms.

For me it would come down to the Imperial Palace or Bally's.

Let us know what you decide to do.

Just a quick note to let everyone know I tried a priceline bid for a 5* at $127 for my dates and they offered a room for $239 - probably the Ventian, if anyone wants to spend that much.

Also I am now looking at the Excalibur - any thought on this one. Seems to be about $106 dollar average per night.

Thanks

Personally i would take the Imperial Palace over the Excalibur.

Here are some comments i made ealier tonite regarding this very choice:

A few years ago this choice would have been easy, Excalibur hands down.  However, the reviews of the Imperial Palace have improved tremendously over the last year (just scroll back far enough and you'll see the negative comments) and now it's a much tougher choice i think.

Personally i like the area of the Imperial Palace best as it's my favorite part of the strip, but since you like to party a lot, you may like the location of the Excalibur better since it's near a lot of the 'hot clubs' of the Palm, Rio, Mandalay Bay, etc.  For comparison purposes, here are the reviews of the Excalibur, but for my taste it's a bit too childish.
