Oscar7 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi, first time using Priceline and this site. Going to Las Vegas for 4 nights from May 3 - May 7 this year. Prices seem more expensive in this stretch. I was going to book the Flamingo for $501 but thought I'd try and bid for something nicer first. Am fine getting Trump. On the calendar of wins I saw Trump for $105 for 2 of the nights, Aria for $138 and Trump on the Sat for $130. Can someone suggest a bidding approach to help me here. I understand the re bidding process of 11 zones i can use, pretty much everything as I'm ok with getting Trump. How do I work out the nightly rate to bid if I know the days are going to be different values - sat for 130 and sun/mon for 105. Do they just average it out for the 4 nights (130+105+105+105)/4 = 111/night bid? Thanks for any answers and help, Oscar Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding! PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 5* hotel (likely the Trump) in the Strip North Vicinity zone for $127/nite, assuming this would be acceptable, i would use this as your maximum bid and do something like this (using your ELEVEN re-bid zones as well as Strip North and Strip South, assuming each of these is acceptable as well): Select 5* Strip North Vicinity... Bid $85, if rejected add Strip North zone... Bid $90, if rejected add Strip South zone... Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $103, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $108, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125 If the above is rejected you can then take the $127 offer from PRICELINE EXPRESS. (you can adjust the bidding amounts however you'd like, but if willing to go up to $127 then i would use the above... if you have trouble revising for a lower maximum bid amount let us know and we will adjust to whatever maximum bid you'd like to use) Any questions feel free to ask.
