Vegas.com app vs website

Hi,

Just comparing the Vegas.com app with the website for hotel rooms. Prices seem to be lower on the app. Is this normally the case?

Thanks

It's not uncommon for prices to differ slightly between the Vegas.com app and the website. This could be due to various factors such as app-exclusive deals, promotions, or even differences in how pricing algorithms are applied between the mobile app and desktop versions. However, there are a few things to consider when comparing the two:

  • App-Exclusive Deals: Sometimes, Vegas.com may offer app-only discounts or promotions to encourage users to book through the mobile app. These deals are often time-limited or available for specific dates, so it's worth checking if there are any special offers on the app that aren't available on the website.
  • Price Fluctuations: Prices for hotels and services can fluctuate based on availability, demand, and the time of booking. It's possible that the app might show a lower price if you are booking during a less busy time or if you happen to catch a special deal that wasn't reflected on the website.
  • Different Price Displays: The app and website may display prices differently due to factors like taxes, fees, and room types being presented differently. In some cases, the price on the app may reflect a more inclusive rate, while the website might show a base price without all additional fees.
  • Browser Cookies or Cache: If you've visited the website several times, cookies and cached data might influence the pricing shown to you. The app, on the other hand, might not have this history and could offer a fresher look at pricing.

To get the best deal, it’s a good idea to compare both the app and website prices for the same dates and rooms. Additionally, consider looking for any promotional codes or discounts that may apply to your booking. If you're flexible with dates, you may find further price differences between the app and website.

In general, while it's not guaranteed, the app can sometimes offer lower prices, so it’s always worth checking there if you're already using it to browse for hotels.
