hl23 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 here goes: due to BIL leaving late on the 12th we decided on 2 rooms for the 10th and 11th and 1 room on the 12th. since PL doesn't allow adding a day on only 1 room of a 2 room res i bid this out separately, first the 2 night res figuring that the rate could be higher as only 1 weeknight (sun) paired with a weekend (sat) vs 2 weeknights (sun & mon) on the 3 night res. By bidding them separate but minutes apart, i accepted the risk of ending up at BOTH Venetian and Palazzo. 2 night res (5/10-5/12) i started at 120 and was countered 166. went up in small increments until 130 and then 1 by 1 until accepted @ $149. i was continually countered with either 166 or a chance to raise bid by $22.3 night res (5/10-5/13) i started at 125 and was countered with 162. went up in small increments until 130 and then 1 by 1 until accepted @ $146. i was continually countered with either 162 or a chance to raise bid by$22.being a bit of a numbers nut and since i got the lowest accepted price on both res i thought i would figure out what the difference between weekend nights (fri-sat) vs weeknights was. using 2 variables with 2 equations and solving algebraically i got the followig. let A = weekend let B = weekdayusing 1st res, A+B = 149 + 149=298using 2cond res, A+2B = 146+146+146 =438 A=298-B 298-B +2B=438B=438-298B=140 and then A=158 so week end nights in my example cost $158 and weekday nights cost $140. this debunks the thought that PL will charge the highest daily fee for a res as the lowest acceptable price.
