Where can I find cheaper rentals | Hotwire is your best bet. I booked a car for five days for about $131 CAD and change (before insurance). I have auto rental insurance with the credit card company that I booked but I don't think it includes 3rd Party Liability or whatever so I might get some Roadside Plus from ICBC (I asked an AutoBroker and it was $10/day aparently).
Any how, after doing some research and asking around, Hotwire is your best bet I think.

headin to Vegas next week with the fiance.
Booked with airmiles and staying at the PH. Bought tix to KA and Phantom so I'm stoked.
Wondering if anyone tried the $20 trick at PH reception? I've got a regular room reserved, and am hoping the trick could possibly bump me up to a view of the strip, or even the bellagio fountain. Have high doubts it would work for a jr suite 
thx!

im also going to vegas next week with my gf. 13-16. got a wicked deal not too long ago flying out of bellingham. about 290 for flight and hotel. it was one of those surprise 4-star hotel things tho.. got TI, which is not TOO bad considering it is better than some other crappy ones. lol will be trying the 20dollar trick as well. im just taking it as a gamblie.. since im in vegas anyways. so hope it works out!! yah im also parking at bellingham airport.. but for 9$ a day.. so im guessing it is the gravel parking lot. its going to be one hot trip.

Have high doubts it would work for a jr suite | I've done the $20 sandwich before and got upgraded from a basic room (cheapest) to a larger room with a beautiful view of the fountain. This wasn't during the summer though.. Did it around Christmas time.
I'm going again next week (12-15) so I'll post in here if it works again.

I'll be heading to Vegas for a golf trip in Sept from the 27th-30th and only have the hollywood hip room booked for 3 of us. Just curious to see what the success rate is on the $20 trick. Hell since there's 3 of us staying in 1 room with our golf bags/suitcases if I can make it a $60 trick to get a suite i'd be happy.. Post up regardless if you were successful or not.

All the sites I've looked at, PH has the highest success rate (>80%).

thx! | Went the last week of August last year and booked the cheapest room. Was contemplating on slipping the desk a 20, but decided just to ask nicely and the guy bumped us up to a jr suite | |

edit: looked closer and its not that good ahha unless you buy 30 days... still t-mobile is cheaper

Anyone got an idea of how much a limo vs a taxi is from airport to strip (Venetian to be specific)?
