Nothing for me either 22-29 Dec .......any of them. Not sure if theyre dark or just not discounting for those dates.

Weird as it seems they aren't dark those dates and at least the early part of your dates are pretty slow...I could see the days before NYE not being discounted, but seems strange that the days before and shortly after Christmas aren't.

Anyway, I doubt Ipod Touches have a firewall.....so.....if its an https site, on an open free wifi hotspot, am I safe entering passwords and banking details?

IMO you're fine if the (https) certificate matches up

cheers for the offers Dan - i really appreciate them (as it reminds me to check to see if they apply for my dates)

... i'm being a bit cheeky here but don't suppose you could include the dates in your future posts

I would not log into online banking. Also, you should ask the hotel to confirm the name of their wifi network. People also forget that in many hotels an Ethernet socket is provided for free so no need for wifi.

Which hotels provide a free ethernet connection? all the ones I have stayed in cahrge around $12 a day

Dan,

Thanks for those offers, even i'm looking seriously at those prices, $79 a night for the celebrity spa suite in MGM at the end of January is a fantastic offer, without the other parts to it.

Does anybody know what the significance of the button for first time visitor means when you get to the price page??? It wouldn't apply to me as i've already been there but all the information I can find on the website is phone if first time visitor. It might mean a better deal for some people......

i was wondering that too Stew... seems odd...

I was looking @ a Marquee suite which is just $200 per night for 2 nights via. that offer, but $900 for the third!!! Can't find any conventions so wondering if there is a fight on or something near then? (14th April)
