Me and two friends are planning a trip to Las Vegas in August and were figuring with the lowered gas prices and the economy how it is, we would probably be able to find the cheapest rates within the next month or so. Anyways, I was planning on being there August 17-22 and needed air fare from St Louis and back. Also, after looking at the hotels, I’ve kind of had my mind set on the MGM Grand so now all that is left to do is actually find a place to book the trip.
I’ve compared prices at a ton of sites (including kayak) and the cheapest I have found is Priceline. For a roundtrip flight and 5 nights at the MGM Grand it came out to be ,521 or 7 per person. The biggest thing that is stopping me is complaints I have heard about using Priceline. I typed in the dates, picked the MGM Grand out of a list and then was able to choose my flight times so my big question is what is the negative about using Priceline because I don’t want to have our trip screwed up.
I’ve heard negative comments about "Naming your Price" and letting Priceline pick the hotel for you but it’s let me pick the exact hotel I wanted and even the flight time that I wanted so is there something that I’m overlooking to give a reason why I shouldn’t book through this site?
