I was about to delete an app called \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hoteltonight.com\/now\" target=\"_blank\">HotelTonight<\/a>\u201d since I had only used it a few times.<\/p>\n<p>The founders of <a href=\"http:\/\/hoteltonight.com\/now\" target=\"_blank\">HotelTonight<\/a> created the app solely for the purpose of \u201chooking up\u201d late after dark. Say you\u2019re at a bar late at night and you somehow get lucky. Well, you\u2019re going to need a hotel tonight. That\u2019s where the idea was born.<\/p>\n<p>It was late at night and I had a few drinks and decided to go through a bunch of cities before finding a gem.

After taxes, it comes out to $37.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5834\" alt=\"hoteltonight1\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight1.png\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight1.png 360w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight1-168x300.png 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5835\" alt=\"hoteltonight2\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight2.png\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight2.png 360w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/08\/hoteltonight2-168x300.png 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a complete bargain since I <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2013\/05\/28\/doubletree-by-hilton-tropicana-las-vegas-hotel-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">recently stayed at the Tropicana<\/a> three months ago for $55 a night. Bear in mind that you can receive your Hilton HHonors Gold\/Diamond benefits if you call the hotel to add your Hilton HHonors number after your make your booking. If you want elite night\/stay credit, I suggest you charge $10 or more to your room for it to trigger. The resort fee can be waived by complaining about the Wi-Fi during your stay or during checkout.<\/p>\n<p>There were many other hotels way below the posted room rates such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2013\/01\/19\/the-westin-lake-las-vegas-resort-spa-review-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort &amp; Spa Hotel<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2013\/01\/19\/the-westin-lake-las-vegas-resort-spa-review-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 1 Review<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2013\/01\/20\/the-westin-lake-las-vegas-resort-spa-review-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 2 Review<\/a>) for $74 where I stayed this past New Years Eve.<\/p>\n<p>If you book the Westin Lake Las Vegas, you can also receive Starwood Gold\/Platinum benefits if you call the hotel to add your Starwood Preferred guest number after your booking.
