Hotwire is one of the many tools you can find online to help you search for good travel deals available in the market. Choose your destination, dates plus other preferences and voilá, Hotwire will give you a long list of choices.

However, if you do not really have a destination in mind and would like to know the best places to visit for a great value, you may want to check out Hotwire's Travel Value Index: Best Places for Value Vacations for 2007.

They have compiled the best places in the US where your money will go a long way. They have even listed entertainment suggestions which does not cost much or can even be enjoyed for free.

Topping the list is Atlanta, Georgia. "Atlanta tops the list because of its deep discounts (81), affordable entertainment and wide variety of quality hotels (68). Atlanta is home to some of the country's largest cultural institutions."

Other US destinations which made the list are:

Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina
Orlando-Daytona Beach, Florida
Kansas City, Missouri
Denver, Colorado
Los Angeles, California
Chicago, Illinois
Cleveland, Ohio
Washington, DC

Now that should answer your "where should I go?" question.

I use hotwire for hotel stays in my own city quite regularly. I know the hotels, locations, and amenities, and I'm pretty close to 100% accuracy about which hotel I'll get. It's saved me tons of money.

I've used in it a couple of other cities, but only where I've known the area and properties fairly well. I think I'd be a bit hesitant with only cursury information.

I mainly use Hotwire whenever I need to go back to the US.

As for cursory information... well, I guess it depends on the traveler. For business, I would have to agree with you 100%. When I travel for pleasure, though, it's okay to just discover things out for myself when i get there.
