hey guys - i have been burned b4 by the trump - i really want to goto vegas this weekend and stay at venetian or wynn. i want to bid on a 5 star north strip but worried about getting the trump again. is there any filter or anything i can do to request a hotel with a casino? if so that would eliminate the trump. any help would be great. thanks, joseph

hey.. sure - i found it on a site called tripres.com i called Priceline and during all my screaming and yelling about feeling like i got dupped with the trump, i told them that they better match it. i told him the site, he did a search with me on the phone and as soon as he saw it he made adjustment no questions asked.

All i am saying is they are not being 100% open on PRICELINE. on HOTWIRE they call it a 5 star resort on the north strip and tells u stright up there is no casino. Thats how they need to do it on priceline. its shouldnt be bunched in with the wynn, and others. its like comparing apples and oranges. Most reviews i have read said its a very nice place - but i prob wont stay there again. it boring for most. trump is having a VERY hard time selling the units which is why they are giving away the rooms for $79. its due to the markets - but i believe having 4 condo complex's going up in city center didnt help. and from what i read, they will not give trump a gaming license in vegas. they dont really want him there as his casinos are massive failures in Atlantic City.

PLEASE post the review.. thanks so much. This hotel will fail hard if he keeps trying to push it as a strip hotel. he will have too many people who will say its a nice place, but i wont stay again. hotels can succeed "off strip" hard rock is known for the pool and the chicks. palm is known for the clubs, vibe, great live shows. trump is know for being boring... the no casino, no smoking hotel

thanks for the optimistic approach :) i do feel like a baby, because i know i did get a GREAT deal on what is prob a very nice hotel. But i beleive deep down that i will not "feel" like i am in vegas and there are 1000 cities in driving distance from LA that i could go for that. Even green valley ranch has a casino! betterbidding is great. i have been a LONG time user of HOTWIRE, and think HOTWIRE is great. i will not be using PRICELINE again. i know people that love it, and im sure it does work great. but they should be selling las vegas strip hotels that are not ON the strip. i dont care what the map says. most people have never been to vegas and couldnt tell you HOW different it is on las vegas blvd and industrial road. from what i have been told. trump is closer to industrial road. there is only one las vegas strip anything off it should not be included in PRICELINE results.

PH is a great hotel. they have done a great job. rooms are huge - they need to be to fit the 42 inch plasmas. i was very very happy with my last stay there as well.

let me start by saying that i wish wish wish wish i knew about this site before i handed over my money to PRICELINE. i could have learned a lot here. its a shame. anyway i bid on a 5 star north strip $99 i got trump. i was so upset bc its not really on the strip, it doesnt have a casino, and def not the place a single 33 year old male should be staying on a biz trip. i found it cheaper $79 on about 5 different travel sites so i called priceline and they matched it. i cried, pleaded and begged for my money back bc i really feel that trump should NOT be included as a "Strip" hotel. they didnt budge. i went nuts when i found out there is a $17 a day "Resort fee" again priceline wont budge. they have covered every angle in their terms that although it is very misleading by both Trump and Priceline - they do have language to offset any arguement you may pose. i am very upset considering booking a cheap room at the monte carlo or something. i figure if i am going to be dropping another $17 a night - i may throw in another $30 or $40 so i can be on the strip and in a casino. no offense, but i dont feel like staying at condos - no matter how nice they are. i am told the bar at the trump closes at midnight!!!!!!!! for real!!!!! are they are single younger people out there that have statyed at trump? how dead is it?

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.
