Big discounts at hotels worldwide

With hotels in Hawaii promising $1000 travel credits, $30 hotel rooms on the Las Vegas strip and plenty of free night deals at hotels around the country, it’s pretty hard not to score a great travel deal as of late. The days of cheap air tickets, discounted hotels and the such may be on their way out , but while the deals are still aplenty, there are some fantastic opportunities to travel on the cheap. Sites like Priceline (which sell off unbooked hotel rooms at discounted rates), have been especially great places to find a great deal on hotels and more. By naming your own price, you can even save as much as 50% on rooms at many hotels. Priceline.com Hotels – save up to 50%

With hotels having more trouble filling empty rooms in light of the current economy and many people opting for stupid staycations over actually going somewhere, these empty rooms are often sold off on bidding sites like Priceline. Because putting someone in the room for a low price is better than letting it go unsold, you can save a huge amount of money on your hotel, especially if you opt to bid on 4 and 5 star properties. In the article “Tips for travel on the cheap” in the Los Angeles Times, they also recommend saving money on your hotel by bidding on unsold rooms on web sites like Priceline.

According to the Budget Travel article, mainstream travel web sites aren’t always the best place to look for the lowest rates on hotel rooms. In fact, many hotels are offering the very best deals on “low profile” sites like Hotwire and Twitter, or on the special offers sections of their own web sites—making less likely places the best ones to find the hottest travel deals. Whether you are looking for cheap hotels in Europe or an inexpensive hotel in Las Vegas, you shouldn’t have too much problem getting some sort of discount or special offer.
