Quick heads up re: another booking site with seemingly cheap prices for specific hotels / dates

Wynn / Encore is comparitively coming up really cheap for my dates @ booking.com

The 3 nights (inc. Friday) work out at $150 a night (non-refundable, includes tax)

The Friday is the killer - most other sites I've tried (direct and indirect) seem to tally up @ $230 a night

This is for the basic room incidently, but it is working out (again, through every site i've used) consistantly cheaper than the Palazzo / Venetian (our other choice)... it's all hinging on do I gamble for any special offers...

Why is it a gamble ? Is it non-refundable ?

Can't offer an opinion without dates anyway though.

Hi Sarah, i am also flying thomas cook premier seats in october to get married, how did you go about getting the extra case as ive not read or heard about this previously?

Many thanks

Chris

I think I was told when I rang asking about my wedding dress - I wanted to carry it on, but they said it had to go in hold. I rang a couple of times as the 1st girl didnt sound certain, I think i persuaded the 2nd person to email me confirmation - Im fairly sure it was a 3rd case up to 20kg.

This link tells you there is no extra charge for having a wedding dress in hold - Id give them a ring to clarify its still something they are happy to do

Hi Duchy, I was just thinking / typing out loud when I referenced my issue as to whether or not to book - mainly posted to highlight booking.com as another bizarre / cheap option for the Wynn.

3 nights @ $150 per night
compared to
3 nights @$230 per night (minimum!) on every other site i'd looked seems a belter.

It is non-refundable however ("Smart Price" its' called)

The actual dates fall in September... I think only I can make the decision as to whether I go for it or not... and at the moment i'm holding off... :beer:

check the booking.com prices, they dont usually include tax, I've used them a couple of times for the Wynn

Hi all

Am heading out to Vegas with a couple of friends of mine in mid-June and we're looking to stay at the Encore or Venetian.

Have seen what appears to be a good deal via eBookers for the Encore - stay a minimum of 3 nights and save 33%. Deal comes out at £522 for people in a Resort Suite King.

Sound like a good deal? I'll also get 7% cashback via Quidco too so this is looking very tempting...

Not seeing any decent deals on the Venetian/Palazzo yet - perhaps a bit too early?

What are your dates? have you checked Cityandshow and Atlaschoice ,they have had some great prices recently for Encore and Wynn

Have used quite a few search sites (Kayak, Travel Supermarket) as well as visiting the usual travel agent sites (Expedia, Hotels, Opodo etc.)

Can't seem to beat the £522 price for Encore at any of these...

Not tried Cityandshow or Atlaschoice, will check them out now

Try https://www.hotelscomparison.com - I've just had a quick look, Encore is £332 for your dates, through Atlaschoice (I've got a booking with them in May). Only downside is it's full payment, non-refundable, but I don't think you'll beat the price anywhere, especially as it includes a Fri & Sat.

From reading their post, I think they might be looking at 3 people in a room

It wont be so cheap if 3 of you are staying in the room with either Cityandshow or atlaschoice the price more than doubles when you put 3 people in

2 options... book 2 rooms or book for 2 and then get a rollaway from the maidservice for $20 (apparently it works)
