Starwood Hotels discount rates can offer deep savings on the cost of hotel rooms for 2 to 6 nights. This post provides links to check for sometimes finding better airline ticket to las vegas rates at Starwood Hotels. Often these rates are not the best deal, but other times these rates are exceptional discounts.
There have been three Starwood discount rate offers posted for several years on my monthly Loyalty Traveler hotel promotions guide. In the past year Beat the Timer flash sales for Starwood Hotels in Europe have regularly offered some good deals. Two of the following links are not working today.
[Update Sep 2: The Birth Year special rate offer page is working again. airline ticket to las vegas Starwood Pay Your Birth Year Rate (North America, Caribbean). Here is my follow-up post Sep 2  Starwood Pay Your Birth Year Rate Analysis .]
STILL WORKS: Starwood Resorts Discount Rates for hotel stays 2 to 6 nights (global). The primary drawback is the prepaid, no changes, 100% cancellation penalty for this offer. Sometimes these rates are a good deal, but many times there are better rates available.
The 2 to 6 nights airline ticket to las vegas discount rate is now only offered for hotels on the Starwood Resorts link. The Starwood Hotels link which had some different  participating hotels appears to be no longer available.
I do not know if this is a Saturday technical downtime for Starwood website updates or if September 1 triggered an end to this special rate offer. I gathered all the hotel rate data yesterday to write an article on the Starwood Birth Year rate, but I'll hold off on that topic until I see if the rate promotion page comes back.
Kind of bummed I didn't book my reservations yesterday if the Birth Year rate is truly gone. Starwood Birth Year rates allowed no penalty cancellation up to day of arrival for the hotels I checked yesterday. The Starwood rate for 3rd night free is a similar rate to what my Birth Year rate would have cost yesterday, but 3rd night free requires prepayment and 100% cancellation penalty.

However, I just went to the starwood website and selected the Pasadena Sheraton s website and chose offers. The Pay Birth Year Rate is still there and when i click on reserve now i get the promotional rates for the rest of the year.
