Hotwire and Las Vegas Hotels
 
Does anybody know what hotwire usually offers for a 4 or 5 star hotel on the strip? I have already done a search on this site and checked out www.biddingfortravel.com (which deals mostly about priceline) and haven't been able to find out anything. Help?<BR>

Bidding For Travel supports Priceline Bidding, not Hotwire bidding, which might explain why you weren't able to find much there.<BR><BR>You probably saw that as far as PRICELINE goes, the 4* and 5* hotels that have popped up have been<BR><BR>South Strip:<BR>Venetian 5*<BR>Mirage 4*<BR>MGM Grand 4*<BR><BR>Freemont Street area:<BR>The Golden Nugget 4*<BR><BR>Northwest Las Vegas:<BR>JW Marriott 4*<BR>

Although i'm a fan of Priceline, i wouldn't necessarily recommend it for Las Vegas, as most of the time you get a hotel off of the strip, and it's the one city where an "equivalent" deal can often be found.<BR><BR>The above obviously doesn't apply if there is an VERY large convention in town OR you are just looking for a cheap place for Fri+Sat nite, and plan on staying on the strip for the remainder of your trip. But for midweek, i often think the "risk" of priceline isn't worth it.

I am going to Vegas March 31-April 5, and did it on Priceline. I chose 3 star and above, and chose the South Strip Casino area. I bid 50 dollars on got Treasure Island.
