Trying to get a hotel for 9/26-28 As mentioned, I'm seeing in PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals, this property: Fremont St. Vicinity Area Casino Hotel Guest Rating: 7+ Bed choice available Save 48% or more+ $104/nightIncludes FREE ParkingChoose Problem is it doesn't list pool as an option, and the Nugget clearly has one. Thoughts?

Turned out to be the Hyatt Regency, for one night. Lovely hotel, brand new, next to Superdome. This stay was for my wife.

My concern on Express Deals 4* Fremont Area is that it doesn't suggest there's a Pool, and I know the Nugget has a huge pool. I can see that's the only 4*, but maybe the Fremont "Area" is larger on bidding? Thoughts? Trying to get a hotel for 9/26-28

Stunning hotel. Brand new, and repaired top to bottom since Katrina. Maybe a bit pricier because it's somewhat Lux, but you're close enough to everything, and out of the way of the riff raff.

This is a fantastic hotel, and arguably the best location in NoLa. There's a great restaurant just below called Red Fish Grill (I think), and they have a jazz bar/lounge in the building that has great music. The pool cannot be beat for the area, and you're both on Bourbon and just off canal. Try to request a room that is away from Bourbon, although I don't remember noise being a factor since it's the beginning of the street. Great move is to contact them ahead of time and say "I know we used hotwire, but my wife is pregnant", or some excuse wherein they're sympathetic. Cheers.

Never nailed a hotel down thru the web. I approached a Luxor employee in the lobby, tried to negotiate, and got a slight discount on the room. It was late, and I was there. As for my priceline win at the Flamingo, the lobby was super packed upon check-in. Was told it'd be a 2.5 hour wait. Went over to "self-check." Asked the girl how it worked, and handed her my license, CC, and a $20 in between. She booked me, and gave me an upgrade to the new rooms. Worked out great :-)

that's a great price. it really is a very nice hotel. stayed there 3 times, and never a bad experience. have a smoothie at the cafe next to the pool and the Lobster Eggs Benedict!!!

I'm not seeing it either anymore, and I just lost another on HOTWIRE that went from $77 to $97 in one click. Now I'm eyeing: PRICELINE EXPRESS 3.5* Las Vegas Convention Center $61 Indoor or Outdoor Pool Free Parking Restaurant Business Center Casino Fitness Center

it was under PRICELINE EXPRESS deals, i believe.

Hooters is actually the "San Remo", but they've been leasing the property for about a decade. It's not terrible inside, and it's usually a pretty big party. It's a stone's throw from the MGM Grand. For a weekend stay, at that price, not a bad deal.

I'm intrigued by this because I can't imagine it's the Hard Rock 4 Star Hotel in Near Las Vegas Strip East Area for $57/night Star Rating: 4 Star What hotel is this? Guaranteed Amenities: Free Internet available Outdoor Swimming Pool Free Parking Restaurant Airport Shuttle Business Center Casino Fitness Center Thoughts? Westin or Hard Rock?

Sorry. Mis-read. All the prices are pretty high right now, so nothing jumping out. I'm thinking for one night I should be able to get a 3.5* hotel for $75, especially since Vegas gives away rooms. There's a PRICELINE EXPRESS 3 1/2 strip South, for $110. I'd consider it, but would prefer less.

I'd prefer 1 of 6 hotels. Tropicana, Luxor, MGM Grand, Flamingo, Mandalay Bay, New York (since it's close). Anything in the area, but I think Monte Carlo is kind of dumpy. I worked for UFC for 7 years, and I have stayed in about 20 Vegas Hotels, if not more. I'm not THAT particular. Location, cleanliness, is what matters.

I'd like the 2 night stay to be around $100, before taxes, and since I haev $29 in the bag, I have leeway. Plus, I don't care if I am near the UFC event on night one so I am considering opening this up to the entire strip. I'll likely want to go Center/South strip at this point. I'm going to use your 5% link and see where that gets me. Thank you.

It should read 3.5* Las Vegas. Not 5. Sorry.

Sunday 7/6 to Monday 7/7 I landed the Flamingo, 3.5*, Strip South. Started bidding on 5* for $30 but had no luck after adding 4-4.5* zones. Dropped down to 3 1/2* for $25, was rejected. Added Nellis Speedway Zone to Vegas South, and went $27. Rejected, but was offered $33 immediate rebid opportunity. Added another Henderson Zone and went $29. Won. Would have preferred Tropicana for location, but no biggie. I'll probably get a crappy place for Saturday night. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow. Go Bucks!

Alright, for Sunday 7/6 to Monday 7/7 I landed a priceline win at the Flamingo, 3.5*, Strip South. Started bidding on 5* for $30 but had no luck after adding 4-4.5*. Dropped down to 3 1/2* for $25, was rejected. Added Nellis Speedway Zone to Vegas South, and went $27. Rejected, but was offered $33 rebid opportunity. Added another Henderson Zone and went $29. Won Flamingo Las Vegas, which I'm fine with. Would have preferred Tropicana for location, but no biggie. I'll probably get a crappy place for Saturday night. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow. Go Bucks!

Back to drawing board. I'm going to break them up. One and one. Even if I have to stay 3 star I'll do it for first night since I'm getting in late, and going right to bed. Sunday should be cheap. I'll use the link to PL express as well.

Yeah, I'm aware of the expo thing. Unfortunately, I have to be there for the fight Sunday night. Yes, I understand the bidding process. I was going to add Boulder City, but since I dropped into 3.5, I got a little nervous about adding zones. I know the method is solid, but I didn't want to risk being way out there in some zone in a 3* star hotel. I'm not sure if that ever happens to someone, but I am hesitant. If I was doing 4* or better I'd use the re-bid strategy. Normally I like the zones I'm adding to have a full 1 point gap between the zone I'm landing in. Again, not sure if this ever becomes a problem for people, but it gives me peace of mind. I may in fact go for the separate hotels thing, or just eat the larger price. I'm seeing priceline.Express deals that are certainly decent, so I was just aiming lower than those. Thanks.

Just added 3.5* and lowered bid to $45 a night. Was willing to land Flamingo. No counter/no offer. So I am getting a sense of things.

Bringing you up to speed... Started with Strip South, 5*, $55. Was reeeeally hoping to get a counter. But no. Then went to 4.5* and raised it to $60. No bite. Then added 4* and went back to $55. No bite. So I'm not within the realm, my gut tells me. I'd consider 3.5 because location and price is what concerns me most. I know that the Sunday night can be had very cheap.

I'm debating using the Trump as well, and adding in that zone for the low bids I'm throwing out there. Thank you for testing the waters.

Well, even though you're a Michigan fan, I'm willing to take the help :-) I think my max bid over 2 nights, is not too much more than $100-120 range. I say that because the Sunday to Monday option is very cheap, since most people are getting off on Friday. Vegas clears out on Sunday, and rooms that night are rather cheap. Again, I'd prefer to be near the Mandalay Bay, which is connected to the Luxor, and across the street from Tropicana. But I'm not too concerned, as long as I'm within say a mile walking distance. Advice/Advise?
