last minute website recommendations

Have never used any of the obvious choices, but we now have a week coming up & no plans. I know this question has been asked before, but doesn't seem to have been revisited lately. Please tell me, which last minute sites have people had good experiences with? Thank you!

I don't have first hand experience, but American Express has this:
http://americanexpress-travel.lmdeals.com/

and the former site59 is now www.lastminute.com

Once you find something you like; check out the individual components [hotels etc] on here or tripadvisor.com

hotwire has a last minute section

also some airlines have "this weekend, next weekend" specials sections


right now travel commentators are saying Las Vegas is a bargain...all sorts of deals.

Depending upon where you are Air Tran is having an airfare war: mostly on the East Coast..

Thank you all. Has anyone taken a trip with lastminute.com? They have some great deals. We're thinking of going to San Francisco.

site59.com merged with lastminute.com but I just wanted to say we had a wonderful weekend in SF using site59.

If you plan on booking direct then also checkout www.smartervegas.com and www.fatwallet.com they both have deals for booking direct from the official hotel websites.
