Hotels.com's Memorial Day Sale is Kinda 'Meh'

Our sweet baby sibling VegasChatter got ahold of us (via the ol' friends and family plan) to let us know that they thought the Hotels.com Memorial Day Weekend sale that just kicked off today was kind of so-so for Las Vegas. 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.

Well: nothing exciting to report in New York City (The Alex for $216 on the night of May 24th), but over in St. Louis we could snag the brand-new Moonrise Hotel for $159 (same as the opening rate) with the third night free (plus the $50 card). The Hotel Triton in San Fran is going for a "meh" $175 per night over Memorial Day weekend, but the Shangri-La Santa Monica turned up a pretty decent kickback at $214 per night for a two-night stay.

Check out the selection for yourself if you're planning a trip somewhere over Memorial Day Weekend. To book through the Hotels.com sale, you must book by May 25 for travel between May 21 and May 27. Also, the prepaid Mastercard is for guests who book three nights or more for travel through September 15. However, again, all travel must be booked by May 25 — and that Mastercard doesn't get into your hands until four to six weeks after your stay.
