In Vegas, several off-strip hotels were featured at seriously discounted rates. Closer to the Strip, the Hooters hotel was listed at $29 a night, for three nights. On the Strip, Caesars Palaces was more expensive at $112 a night, Paris Las Vegas at $90 and Treasure Island was $79 with the fourth night free.

We glanced over at the European offerings and found the discounts to be a bit less. In Mexico, however, quite a few hotels were listed as 50 percent off their average prices.

Overall, we weren't blown away by the sale offerings but it does seem that if you book air and four nights hotel together you will get a much better bargain. You must book by June 30 with travel completed by July 30. And yes, you will probably have to wade through two pages of unnecessary advertisements for even more unnecessary travel add-ons before you can actual complete your purchase. If Expedia really wants to get on our good side, they would drop this hassle as well.
