Thank you so much for the discount code. I had to change the date to Jun 27-28 and happily ended up with Bellagio for $.

Too bad it didn't work out with PRICELINE before. It seems like the 5* on the Strip (North) are pretty booked up over that weekend.

Thanks again for your help. See you on my next trip :-)

I will try a few more times but I figure the $219 Venetian package has other incentives for $50 slot credit, free breakfast, etc.. and it's cancellable 3 days prior.

South zone is too risky for me b/c I don't like Vdara (no casino and bad service... according to tripadvisor reviews).

I will let the forum know what I end up. Thank you for your time.

I gave up. I tried up to $165 but they didn't accept my offer. Should I try again later?

I have made a reservation earlier at Venetian for $219 so I'm going to stick with that.

Thanks for your help.

I used the recommended steps below (the last time, I started at $120, then go up to $125 by adding Near East Strip... and got rejected right away... It didn't let me re-bid...

Select 5* North Strip...

Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...

If I bid for South Strip but also want to include North Strip, what are the order of my bidding steps?

I noticed PRICELINE has declined my offer on two separate occasions right at the first rebidding zone step. It seems like their algorithm has detected that I am using rebidding zones to get myself in the game.

I think you might be right... I got this at the second rebidding zone trial:

Thank You for Naming Your Own Price – Unfortunately, we can't accept your offer. During our search, however, we did find special priceline rates available for your travel dates at the hotels shown below.

Does it mean Priceline does not even want to deal with me?

What should I do? try again or reconsider South strip?

Please confirm the 10 re-bidding zones:

Boulder strip

Freemont

Henderson

LAS Airport

LAS Convention

NW LAS

Near LV Strip East

Nellis

Summerlin

West of strip

If $140 fails me, then I might consider South strip

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for pointing it out, I was thinking the same thing after looking at their dates.

I would rather be in the North strip (either Palazzo, Wynn, Encore, or Venetian).

Yes, I'm willing to accept any 5* in this zone. Please suggest a strategy.

I might lower my starting bid since there was a winning bid at $85.

thanks,

Please help me with the steps to bid for either Wynn, Venetian, or Pallazzo (no Trump, please)

Thanks for your help,

It worked.

I got in at $50 for the Doubletree/Anaheim/Orange County at $50 using your strategy. Of course I used the PRICELINE link from here. :)

I wish that I knew about this forum before I put in my HOTWIRE bid. I got the New Yorker in MSG for $184 per room for 2 rooms with 4 adults/4 children. Since we have 4 people in a room, I couldn't really use PRICELINE.

I checked back today and the rate went up to $229 for those dates.

Should I wait until a few days before my travel dates or this is about right time to book for first week of April.

I will certainly use betterbidding the next time I book. Great work that you're doing! Thanks.
