hotwire help please
 
Hotwire has a 4star for Nov on the dates I need for 4 nights. Am trying to work out if it is the Venetian. Have 2 nights already and need another 3, can anyone help please please! It may however be Ceasars.

For Hotwire, you need to know the locations of the various hotels within the Hotwire areas.

Have a look at www.betterbidding.com - the list of Hotwire hotels for Vegas, and recent bookings and their results.

Sometimes you can determine the Hotwire hotels by shopping the packages (hotel + air) and matching up the stars and ammenities. But, again, you must know which hotels are in which Hotwire areas.

It's probably not the Venetian, unless Hotwire has downgraded it from 5* to 4*.

You may or may not be able to correctly guess the hotel ahead of time.

For the rate, do you really care?

You might also want to have a look at various other Las Vegas discount hotel booking websites.

And, take a look at http://www.vegas-promotions.com/

Hotwire also tells you the TripAdvisor rating and how many reviews there have been on TripAdvisor. That can help you match it up.

kimmos Sep 11th, 2007 03:33 PM

thanks guys! thats a good suggestion ....will check tripadvisor and try to match that way. It would probably be Treasure Island.

The other thing is, on betterbidding.com, under "Nevada-Hotwire", you can list your dates and what's available, along with the amenities, and one of the "proprietors" will tell you which hotels they think it is.

looked at the number of reviews for each of the 4 star Hotwire hotels and the numbers are way over and way under.....cannot actually judge from that! yeah will ask on betterbidding.

dmlove Sep 11th, 2007 06:17 PM

kimmos, what are the dates you are looking at?

kimmos Sep 13th, 2007 05:24 PM

dmlove, 4 nights from Nov 23.

11/23-27 4* Central Strip, I found a $114 with the following amenities:

casino, fitness, pool, restaurant(s), business center, highspeed internet, golf nearby, tennis nearby, spa

According to betterbidding, it can be one of these three - Aladdin, Paris and Ceasars Palace.

Venetian is 5* for Hotwire, so it cannot be it.

They do have a 5* Central Strip for $254. That should be the Venetian.
