Skylofts getting CHEAP NOW!
Was looking at the rates of the Skylofts as I will be heading there next week. I used to stay there allot back when I went to Vegas a few years ago. It seems their rates have taken a nosedive. Looking online the 1bedrooms have gone to $509/night. FHR can get it 10% off on top of that. I was always used to paying $700ish a night.
Anyways, I booked at the Wynn Encore hotel already but am considering changing now. I got the Parlor suite @ the Encore for $360 which is also astonishing considering they post $500/night on the website.
FINALLY the Luxury hotels are now starting to re-adjust their rates down. If I recall early/mid 08 they were still standard priced.

FHR can negotiate 15% off the published rates at Skylofts.
I stayed there in September for $433!
The published rate on MGM website was $510, FHR was quoting something like $800 but I told them about the published rate and they put me on hold and came back and said that Skylofts said they could do it for $433.
This would be the deal of the century if you got the FHR complimentary upgrade to the 2BR.
That most recent visit though seemed they were lacking in a little bit of their attention to detail...didn't get personalized stationary, no tray of chilled berries out upon arrival. Granted I was only staying one night, and got 15% off their lowest rate ever, but still.

great post. ^^ had not seen this for a while.
510 rates from now through march.
bummer, only 4 days of $750 for 2BR - 1/26 > 1/29. hope someone can use it.
(510/700 were old lows, but its only been 600/900 recently on calendar.)
(virtuoso/FHR = 15% discount.)
from 4/4/08 >

Awesome! Thanks for passing this along. We have 3 nights of our honeymoon @ Skylofts so that saves us a few hundred per night (we were booked at 800...it's now 509). It almost makes me want to go to the 2 bdrm for 900/night (and then 10% off through Virtuoso) and hope for the upgrade to the 3 bdrm!

mctrees02, are you saying rate was $600 and virtuoso is $510, or rate was $510 and virtuoso was $430? (discount = 15%)
remember to ask about breakfast at mansion.
you could also always see if 3BR is available at checkin, and if so, buy up to 2BR, either direct, or through virtuoso.

And yes...breakfast at the mansion is already booked!

If I book a one-night stay through Virtuoso at the $434 rate, does that still include the Maybach transfer from the airport and invited-guest private checkin? I know that sometimes when rack rates drop some of the amenities aren't included.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should include a Maybach transfer. Skyloft concierge will call you after your reservation for more info.

briankoenig, its not just a 15% discount, it also includes breakfast, amenity, late checkout. IIRC virtuoso 4PM checkout is "upon availability" not guaranteed like with FHR.
i believe there is a skylofts checkin area.
also technically, we are talking about best available rates and contract rates. rack rates usually do not change, and appear to be x/$2200/$10000

i would not suggest assuming they will waive breakfast charges beyond the stated credits, even though people have reported that happening.
OTOH IIRC virtuoso amenity is $100 in loft dining credit, so you could always ask to have that applied to breakfast, if they dont waive the additional cost.
(IIRC FHR amenity is $100 skyspa credit.)
