Ok thank you very much for this useful information. I will be sure to post results once the rooms are booked.

My intention was to bid strictly for North Strip Condo for 01/01-01/03 to ensure I get Trump and then attempt to bid for NYE separately starting with North Strip Condo and if that was unsuccessful to then try for a 4 star North Strip or 5 star North/South Strip. A 4 star in the South Strip zone is not acceptable since I gambled with that before and ended up with Westin which I did not care for at all. The location was fine but the hotel itself was very disappointing especially since I transferred from Trump. But I wasn't aware that Priceline adhered to the same rule about a minimum requirement for certain nights when you NYOP so that kind of changes the plan a little. :/ Now I'm not sure what to do. If all the hotels are operating with a two night minimum for NYE perhaps I should try to bid for 12/31-01/02 and see if that works if isolating NYE doesn't work. The drawback to that is knowing 01/01-01/03 are much cheaper than NYE and having to pay more than necessary. But its NYE so if a two night minimum is required through NYOP then I probably won't have a choice. MGM Grand is $60 for both 01/01 & 01/02 which is a great price. The suite is only $8 more per night which is still fantastic. I think I assumed that Priceline didn't have a minimum stay requirement bc Hotwire doesn't require a two night minimum for NYE but I could definitely be wrong.

Hello, My husband and I are going to Vegas to celebrate this year traveling 12/31-01/03. My plan is to split the bidding and isolate 12/31. I thought I would start with a bid of $120 and keep going up until I hit $230 but I'm hoping I don't have to hit the max amount. If any of you have already done this (if you haven't but have helpful tips such as an appropriate starting price please advise) and have suggestions or results please reply. I'd like to get Trump specifically for NYE and I know how to do so via NYOP & Hotwire but if my price isn't accepted by Trump I can live with a 4 star North Strip or 5 star North/South Strip for that night. Even though my preference is Trump like I said I'm aware its NYE in Vegas so flexibility is necessary especially if another hotel of equal quality is cheaper. 01/01-01/03 isn't an issue but NYE is a different story. Just wondering if anyone else has already had luck for 12/31. Thanks in advance! P.S. Yes I am totally using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links from this site!
