Luxe Life: One Dollar Sale

Deacon has been jonesing for a tropical getaway for about a year now, but budget problems have prevented us from actually getting out of dodge. So today, we were thrilled to discover a crazy new sale from LastMinuteTravel.com, where they’ll see the “world for a dollar,” including every room in their inventory of over 15,000 global hotel partners.

"This sale is very real," explains Uri Argov, President and CEO of Last Minute Travel. "Because we guarantee our hotel partners are paid for all inventory listed with us, we can invest a half-million dollars in room revenue to drive travelers to our improved site."

There is, however, a catch – of course. The only way to find out when the sale goes live is to visit LastMinuteTravel.com/worldforadollar to get clues, scavenger-hunt style, via e-mail, starting today.

The site uses an Undercover model like Priceline.com, where the name of the hotel is kept secret during booking. However, you WILL be able to see everything except the hotel's name and address, including star ratings, a description of the hotel itself, its rooms, services, local area, a complete checklist of amenities and a map highlighting a radius around the general hotel location.

The site will also now provide travelers with an interactive "Destinations" page, set to feature the details of more than 100 locales worldwide. Each travel destination will be packed with traveler reviews, general information, photos, as well as details on the area's top hotels, attractions, shopping and dining experiences.

We’ve already registered and can’t wait to get the first clue. Let us know if you’ve successfully found the secret to booking!

Knowing when NOT to look, is as important as knowing when. Monday-Friday, The World for $1 will only happen between specific hours. While Kevin and Janice sleep in their Manhattan apartment, you need not worry about missing your chance.
