I noticed on the web site they have a $17/day resort fee. That could take the shine off of the deal. According to the hotel web site they had no rooms
available for that day.

			<description><![CDATA[ <p><br></p>

<p>There can be lots of free rebids when going for a 4* in Scottsdale b/c there are so many other areas to add to the bidding that don&#39;t have a 4*, but I
didn&#39;t need to use any of them, first bid was the lowest allowable by PL for a 4*, $40, which was accepted.  The bid was for 2 rooms for 5 nights Dec. 27,
09 to Jan. 1, 2010.  The price on the hotel website for that period was $126 per room.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Used the PL link on the A-B site to support BFT, thx... ]]></description>

lower bids than in years past for this time of year (I stay in Scottsdale resorts often). I usually get Scottsdale Resort and Conf. Center, which is a little
lower class than what I got today.  This is a very nice hotel at Gainey Ranch Golf club right off Scottsdale Road a few miles north of the big mall. I&#39;ve
gotten it before but not... ]]></description>
