Marriott for $100/night less than the GF & Poly respectively. I was challenged and we all ran the numbers and they didn't jive with the numbers I had gotten last August making me look like an idiot. Well, I just ran the numbers for this summer again using June 14th as a target date and this jives with my claim last year. $385- GrandFL $340- Poly $325- YC, BC, & BW $285- OKW $279- Ritz-Carton $225- WL $219- J. W. Marriott So with the rates available now, The Ritz is running $106/night less than the Grand, and the J. W. is running $121/night less than the Poly. But considering he quality of the facility and the service given at the J. W., I wouldn't have any problem with directly comparing it to the Grand at a nightly savings of $166. Heck, the Ritz Carlton is less than Old Key West. I know its slummin' it, but to save $100/night I can suffer through it, so if anyone is interested here is a link to the Grand Lake Resort. http://www.grandelakes.com/

3	davewasbaloo Tue 4/8/2008 8:16a	Yep, but the difference is, on the strip you get great service and accommodations. the same cannot really be said about WDW. (Thankfully it can about DL however)
4	dshyates Tue 4/8/2008 8:23a	You're on to something there. The Ritz of off-prop there too. Hmmm. Let's see, the Ritz LV for June 14th is $209, the Venetian is $219.
5	dshyates Tue 4/8/2008 8:43a	LV actually seems all over the place with the rates. The 5 Star 4Seasons which is on the strip is $326, and the 4 star Palms, which is off the strip is $324
6	dshyates Tue 4/8/2008 9:00a	So fr $2 more you get an extra quality star and a room on the strip.
