Vegas is usually about rolling the roulette wheel -- but this time, it's about rolling the steering wheel.
With road trips taking a major hit this year because of soaring gas prices, you can save a bit at the pump with a sweet deal from Vegas.com. Book a Vegas hotel room at any of their participating hotels, ranging from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and Caesars Palace to The Bellagio and The Luxor, they'll knock $10 off the rate and hand you a $50 gas card at checkout.
Just be sure to enter GAS in the Promo field when you book your room.
Book anytime between today and July 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time (of course!), and make good on your reservation between today and Aug. 31, 2008. Pedal to the metal.
[UPDATE: Good news! The credits go towards your current stay. It is not a "bounceback" offer. We apologize for the error.]
Two luxury hotels in the Windy City are teaming up to lure you in. Called "Experience More," the Four Seasons Chicago and the Ritz-Carlton Chicago are offering "money back in your pocket." but really you'll be getting credit toward another stay.
At Ritz-Carlton, you will get room credits for $150 or $325 for your one or two night stay, respectively, and even more credit if you book an Executive Suite or larger. Then the credits are $200 and $425 for one or two nights.
The Four Seasons offers the exact same idea, but different amounts of room credits -- $125 credit for a one night stay, and $200 if you stay in an Executive Suite or larger, plus they'll kick in a $50 spa credit on the condition that you reserve a spa treatment of 55 minutes or longer in advance.
Yesterday, our cold hard cynical self could not/would not believe that a new hot hotel like the The Gansevoort Southwould ever offer rooms for $99 a night in addition to discounts at its new Philippe restaurant and its Cutler Salon.
But OMG, it's totally real!
A hotel's rep got back to us with this:
There are a limited number of basic rooms in the $99 room category, so when those run out the next available rate is $195. Guests can call the hotel and mention the $99 deal and book it that way and will be notified of the next best rate if all of the $99 rooms have been sold.
Keep reading for more low-down on how to get the deal.
The Gansevoort South has been open for nearly three months now but an email just arrived in our inbox announcing $99 room rates (based on availability of course) as a way to celebrate the hotel's opening and the opening of the Philippe Chow restaurant and the Cutler Hair Salon.
Aside from the low off-season rate, the hotel is also offering guests 15 percent off when dining at Philippe and 25 percent off Cutler services during its first month open.
However, don't be so quick to book just yet. The email itself was a little blurry, so we're still not sure if this is actually an honest promotion or if the Gansevoort is a victim of some clever spam. Plus, $99 even for Miami in the off-season is as serious steal.
We did look for those low rates this summer but managed to only find a steady rate of $195 in July for a deluxe double. August increased to about $235.
We have an email in to the hotel to determine exactly if this is a real deal or not and if it's legit, how to go about and get a $99 room rate. So Stay Tuned!
In which, HotelChatter readers are treated to exclusive hotel deals dug up by us.
All deals have a limited amount of rooms attached to them and may sell out quickly.
Today's Hotel Deals

While one hotel in Tribeca frets about finding an executive chef, the rest of Manhattan hotels are looking forward to Restaurant Week.
For New Yorkers and anyone visiting New York between July 21 and August 1--the flood gates are (almost) open as Amex cardholders can begin placing reservations for Restaurant Week now. All you plebes without Amex cards can have a go at it beginning tomorrow.
For the uninitiated, New York Restaurant Week seems a lot like the similar offerings in cities like Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C. and even Indianapolis, but it becomes quickly clear that NY's Restaurant Week (NYRW as it's abbreviated in office emails) is on steroids.
For New Yorkers, a prix fixe $24.07 lunch or $35 dinner at hot tables like Gramercy Tavern and Nobu means rearranging their lives during these two weeks of frantic gustatory indulgence.
For Hotel fiends, NYRW simply means that we get to slip into the city's hottest hotel restaurants without dropping $100+ or strong-arming an out-of-town friend to dine in. Because this is a city with a mass amount of hotels trying to be cool by tacking on top-of-the-line kitchens to their 5-star reputations, the selection for NYRW is quite juicy and ultra tempting...
Man, we are total suckers for a hotel promo with a cute name.
Perhaps not such suckers that we would sit around stuffing our faces whilst clad in a bikini, but we are happy to watch other people do so at the W New Orleans - French Quarter's weekly Bikini Brunch this summer.
On Saturdays during the month of July, throw on your swimsuit (or your jeans) and head down to the W pool for:
a $15 brunch provided by Bacco including Fruit Salad, Gourmet Pasta Salad and Chilled Shrimp Cocktail. Bottle service will also be available in the courtyard complete with your favorite mixers.
Non-guests can totally enjoy the offer too; in fact, Bikini Brunchers (guests or not) get special access to the W Hotel pool all day.
Rates start around $179 per night -- courage to wear a bikini and eat food at the same time sold separately.
If you're thinking about heading to Manhattan this summer in July and August, Quikbook is offering a 72-hour sale on some hot NYC hotels.
You must book these deals by Friday at 5pm EST. They are valid for dates from July 1 - September 1, except where noted. Blackout dates do apply.
· Six Columbus: $170 for one night.
· City Club: $199.
· The Hudson: $179 a night for stays of two nights or more. $209 for one night. · The Hotel on Rivington: $251
· Thompson LES: $255 a night but it's only good for the month of August.
When we searched July 25 for hotels, the only one that offered its advertised rate was City Club at $199 a night. The rest were slightly more. A month later, in the dead heat of August, we did find advertised rates for Thompson LES and Thor. So remember to check several possible dates if your travel plans are flexible.
