Great site for travel planning - hotels

I thought I'd share a site I came across when looking for a hotel in Vegas.
www.betterbidding.com
It is for use when you are trying to get a hotel through Priceline or Hotwire, and would prefer to know what you are booking before you book...in spite of the policies of those sites not to disclose. I haven't used it for anything other than Vegas, but they are spot on with the hotels. They'll tell you if they don't know, and sometimes it takes a day to get a response but it's pretty cool. And it saves you the hassle of trying to compare amenities to figure it out yourself.
I'm partially posting this out of guilt...they ask that you use their links to book (I'm assuming they get some kind of rebate) but I did not...I used ebates to get myself 2% back on the purchase! So now I figure I redeem myself by sharing this, and maybe one or two people here score a deal because of it!
