I have used Hotwire perhaps 10 times over the last couple of years with quite a bit of success. However, in this particular instance, their site had advertised a hotel as being on the North Las Vegas Strip. Upon booking the hotel for two nights I learned that the location was actually OFF the Vegas Strip and not actually located ON the strip as indicated in the main, advertised headline.
In Las Vegas, there is a big difference in hotels off of the strip mainly due to safety. As soon as you are on one of the side streets at night, there a much great potential for danger. My wife and I had planned to take two young children so it was of the utmost importance that we stay in an area that didn't pose any safety issues by walking outside of the hotel after dark.
I had stated this to Hotwire in an email, and explained that I simply felt that their headline for the hotel property was geographically inaccurate.
