Here are my 3 favorite websites for finding hotel bargains:

1) I start with www.hotelplanner.com. I discovered this site in 2011 when I had to catch a 7am flight out of Los Angeles International, and I needed a hotel room close to the airport. Hilton & Marriott were both giving me quotes for $200 per night, but for some reason hotelplanner.com had the same rooms for $100. Weird.

2) Next up is www.room77.com. This site helps you compare prices between Expedia, Orbitz, et cetera. It doesn't bombard your computer desktop with pop-ups (unlike Kayak).

3) For trips to Vegas, Anthony Curtis' lasvegasadvisor.com has great discount codes. Some of these bargains are frustrating because I occasionally find cheaper rates on Anthony Curtis' site than I'm getting from my Total Rewards account. (As I've complained about in other threads, Total Rewards room quotes should always be lower than what I can find on the internet.)

So does anyone have any suggestions for finding cheap airfares?

Check out BOOKIT.com for hotel deals. I've found some
great rates there for upper scale accomodations in Las
Vegas.

We just booked rooms at a fantastic 5 star resort for
5 days before Christmas in Orlando with bookit for
$ 69 per night + tax.

I also sometimes check TRAVELAXE.com.
