Condos on Hotwire
 
I'm planning a trip to Vegas this May. I'm checking out all my options on hotels and notice that on Hotwire, a 5 star condo located on the central strip is listed. What would this be? It's not listed as a hotel, but a condo. Any guesses?

Have a look at www.betterbidding.com

The only Hotwire 5* Condo in Central Strip AREA ever reported has been Trump.

Note that Trump is not ON the strip, rather a 10-15 minute walk along a busy multi-lane road with no sidewalks. The only advantage of Trump (in addition to the recent rock bottom nightly rates) is that all rooms have a fridge, coffee pot, microwave.

Before booking and taking a chance on Trump, have a look at the reviews on TripAdvisor.

I have heard it is the Trump as well.

Thanks, probably not what I'm looking for, but I'll check it out.

It may be one of the Hilton properties. They are located on the Strip. One is right in the middle of the strip area.

here is the one I'm thinking of,

They also have another property at the north end of the strip.

The Hilton Grand Vacations property has never been reported as a Hotwire hotel on www.biddingfortravel.com

And, if the 5* Condo property on Hotwire shows a "Smoke Free Property" icon, it cannot be the Hilton, which offers smoking rooms.

Many people do not use Priceline for Las Vegas, rather than risk being booked at Trump, whereas with Hotwire, you can identify what is probably Trump and avoid it.
