A tipster let us know about this deal: <blockquote>"Approximately 270,000 people commute over that bridge per day" according to Wikipedia.

Still, we were still enticed by the promise of "discounts of up to 50 percent off at more than 450 properties" and the additional incentive of scoring a $50 Prepaid MasterCard card if we booked a three-night stay at certain hotels, so we held onto some faith that maybe other non-Sin-City cities may prove a little more successful.

The individual suites also have their own thermostat controls, and Hilton Family of Hotel brand cards are left for guests who, in order to further preserve water, may check whether or not they want their towels are linen laundered that day.
