Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip North) Trump Hotel

[travelbee]

Started bidding at $75 for a 5* at North and South Strip. Rejected. Rebid at $5 intervals until the bid was accepted at $95 for the Trump Hotel.

One question. I noticed on Expedia that there is a $16.50 per day charge at the Trump Hotel to be paid either at check-in or check-out. Does this mean I'll have to pay more $$ than what I bid? Can anyone who have stayed at Trump Hotel through PRICELINE answer this question please?

What are the dates of this stay?

Thanks

Congratulations on your win!

Can you please add the date(s) of your stay to this thread so that we can enable this property to appear in the Priceline and Hotwire Calendar of Wins.

I haven't ever stayed at this property, but i believe that "yes", you will likely need to pay the resort fee directly to the htoel, this is not included in the amount you paid to PRICELINE.

The dates are 2/6 to 2/8. It was on my original post but somehow it was modified (and my followed up question was combined with the original post). I'll use the PRICELINE link from this site in the future - didn't notice it before.

We merged your two threads since they were posted immediately after one another and it keeps the thread easier to read as it doesn't require as much scrolling (since it's shorter)

The topic title was probably truncated and the dates were cut-off since the text box only allows a certain number of characters. If yo use the following format everything typically fits as it shoud:

TOPIC: Star Rating City (Zone) Hotel Name

Sub-Topic: $xx ... m/d/yy-m/d/yy

Thanks for the update and for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future travel purchases.

Enjoy your upcoming stay... please report back to us afterwards to confirm if the resort fee was charged or not (but as i mention above, i would go with the expectation that it will be billed... consider yourself lucky if you're not)

Yup there is a $17 "resort fee" im not happy about it at all either. priceline has same little print that what they show you is "total charges" but the hotel may charge additional fees at check in.

to me its a bait and switch. trump can accept lower bids knowing that they are getting an additional $17 (commission free to priceline bc you pay them directly) per night.

i honestly feel like i got suckered.

It is becoming a common practice for hotels to charge resort fees. I have stayed in Disneyland and Vegas several times over the years and they all charge a resort fee, it is not just the trump that is doing it. The "resort" fee is for things you may or may not use, like parking, internet, a newspaper, and other items. And three1oh if you are that worried about being off the strip just make it goal to be sleeping in some ones hotel room that is not at the trump. Besides how long do you plan on being at your hotel anyways.
