Hotwire Hotel: Expensive price during 1/15 - 1/18, 5 star North Stip

[Kuo birdy]

I tried to book a 5-star hotel in North Strip for January 15th to January 18th. Initially, I thought the price will be low because this is not peak season and it is from Sunday to Wednesday. However, the price I got is around 200 to 250 dollars, which is much more expensive than what I've expected. Is this because there is a special event during that week? Or I should wait another one or two weeks for the system to drop the price? What is your suggestion?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Nobody can say if rates will come down, or move higher, between now and your trip, but the higher than expected rates is due to these being busy conference dates (the numbers after each date are expected attendance for a conference over the dates indicated):

1/17-1/20 64,500

1/17-1/20 60,000

1/18-1/21 25,000

1/18-1/20 25,000

 

What was your expected budget? (per nite before taxes/fees)  Is the South Strip and/or SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?  How high would you go before lowing your sights to a 4* or 4.5* property?

My budget is around 100 - 150 dollar per night. I can lower the star. What is your suggestion?

4* Las Vegas Strip South for $142

==> best guess would be the Monte Carlo Resort And Casino
