My friend, Alex called me today to let thank me for posting the great Southwest deal. Her and her husband are flying to Las Vegas for a ridiculously low price - about $150 for two round trip tickets. Alex and her husband have a favorite room at Caesar's Palace which was about $360 on Hotels.com. Yikes!! Alex then did something that I always try to do when booking a hotel - call them directly. You never know what unadvertised specials they may have going. She discovered that the room was 25% off during a select time period that her trip happened to fall in. Way to be thrifty, Alex!
This reminded me of my trip to Big Sur last summer. My boyfriend and I wanted to stay at the Ventana Inn but were a little astounded at the price. I called the hotel and come to find out, they were offering a $200 dining credit and free bottle of wine for each night of our stay. It was WELL worth it!!!
Also, it doesn't help to have an AWESOME travel agent to book rooms for you. They can often get you great upgrades!
Awesome deal! I also found deals from membership sites like Exclusive Resorts fantastic! Luxury vacations at lower rates.
