My experience tells me this is the Ritz-Carlton Marina Del Rey.

Amenities listed are Fitness Center, Pool(s) Restaurant(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities (self-service), High-Speed Internet Access. Used the HOTWIRE link. Not at all happy with this hotel. Thought I would get Le Gouverneur. Think I might just forgo this hotel and book something else. Please update the hotel list.

Now that I got the hotel room nailed, is there a way to bid on Cirque du Soleil "O" tickets? Or perhaps a discounter website?

$118/night 4/7-4/9 on Hotwire. On Kayak shown for $180/night. Tried bidding on Priceline before using Hotwire (North Strip only), but Priceline did not budge even as high as $120. Amenities: Resort, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-Speed Internet Access. Used the HOTWIRE link.

Got the Scottsdale Resort And Conference Center. Did not expect this because it is listed as "Resort" in the pinned hotel list while I was bidding 4* only. Auto upgraded? Be aware. Anyhow, $80 is a decent price.

Amenities: Boutique, Business Center, Fitness Center, High-speed internet, Restaurant, Spa

FINALLY! After bidding for almost a month on PRICELINE and checking HOTWIRE once in a while, I just caught hotel Monaco on HOTWIRE for $135/night for 9/24-9/28. Regular rates are in excess of $200.

Considering the win by "LoveAaliyah" for 9/26-9/28, I ran some tests. I can get decent rates for 9/25-9/28, but 9/24 is horrible expensive for some reason. On that day, rates are double of those on the other dates.

I think I need to wait with bidding until next week. I guess it's no use to bid now with hotels holding out at $200+ levels.

Like several other users on this board, I've been bidding for 9/24 - 9/28 for little less than a month. Up to $120. I noticed looking at online rate calendars for several SOMA hotels that 9/24 seems to be the problem. For instance, Hotwire has a 4.5* at $239+ for 9/24-9/28 but $202 for 9/25 - 9/28. Perhaps an idea is to bid for three nights, get the hotel, and then add the Thursday night by booking with the hotel directly? I can get a 3* SOMA hotel for $130 (Renoir) for all four nights, but I think that is still overpriced.
