Has anyone bought a room from either of these two? I have not used either and would just like some info. We are going in late October (for a wedding and sightseeing) with our two sons ages 10 & 12. Any great ideas for our 3 day weekend stay?

Thank you!!!

Definitely see the ALPLM (Lincoln Museum). The two shows they have are fantastic- really state of the art. There are plenty of things to see and your kids are probably just at the right age.

Also, if they can stand a tour, the Dana-Thomas House (Frank Lloyd Wright architecture) is beautiful. It is most gorgeous at Christmastime, but great anytime of year.

As for food - I recommend the Pizza Machine in the Vinegar Hill plaza (just east of downtown - 1st St. and... I forget). Great pizza, and sometimes a flame-throwing juggler/trick act.

Welcome and have a great trip!

Tina

I would trust either of them, although I mostly use Priceline since I can get a better deal with them. If you are looking at using Priceline for the first time, then I would recommend checking out the Priceline tutorials at www.discountbidding.com/tutorials-f6.html

Let me help with Pizza Machine...it's west & south.

At about 1st & Cook...in the Vinegar Hill Mall. However, they've just about taken over the whole mall...the guy who owns Pizza Machine is young, and he's a solid entrepreneur.
