DealsNews projected that about a third of all Black Friday travel deals will be for hotels. Here are some tips:
First of all, don't be afraid to aim high. Take a look at four- and five-star hotels because hotels usually provide deals on their high-end places. You should also be expecting flat-rate discounts from Expedia and Hotels.com, two booking sites. In addition to that, keep an eye out for the bigger chains like Starwood and Hyatt, which are projected to have anywhere from 30 to 60 percent off stays, as well as hotels on the Off-Strip Las Vegas which could be for under $20 a night, according to DealsNews.
The best Black Friday travel deals will be right at everybody's fingertips, it's just a matter of who gets to them first.
