The employee discounts for hotels is extremely out dated. I went to vegas back in September and was lucky enough to find a hotel available but it was off strip which is whatever but there were like zero options. The system recommends that you be flexible with dates. i.e book hotel BEFORE your flight. I personally use the hopper app so i book flights first and then see what hotels I can pull under the employee rate. I wish personally they had a push notification system that would send you a notification that a hotel room under the employee rate is available in the location you were looking because I cant check 24/7 and I'm sure sometimes people get really lucky and find perfect rooms and all that.
