Thank you for the insight! :)

The Ranch Bernardo zone has one 4* -- the Ranch Bernardo Inn.

Yup, ended up getting the Sheraton @ $90. Thought this would go less since I saw an $80 successful bid for these exact dates.

Saved $53 total vs. booking with the hotel directly @ their $119 internet rate. Not that much, but it'll help with the crazy parking costs :)

Thanks, I've noticed the Sheraton coming up alot too. My boss will have a car, so it probably won't be a problem. Read mixed reviews about the hotel, so I'll check w/him before I bid.

Hi,

There are three 3* North Strip hotels on the Hotwire hotel list on this site, and it looks like the Sahara is the closest match .

I noticed that the Venetian is the only 5 star hotel in Vegas listed on Priceline. Does this mean that if I bid on Priceline and specify that I want a 5 star hotel on the strip, I am either going to get the Ventian or nothing?

Yes, the Venetian historically has been the only 5 star hotel consistently available through Priceline. From what I've read I think Bellagio came up 1-2 times a few months back...the only time it made an appearance. So yes, pretty much you will get the Venetian or nothing at all.

I recall that I also bid $95 the first time also on the day (2 hours earlier) I won the property (Mon 7/25), is that possible?

I believe I was never able to "win" on all my previous attempts because there was no availibility for Saturday 9/3. I just happened to catch a room when it became available at the right time.

I checked availability last week and regular rooms ($179) were still to be had on the Marriott website. As of yesterday, Marriott's site showed only Junior Suites ($279) available on Saturday 9/3. Hence, bid up to $105 yesterday with no success. I checked a few more times today and a regular room rate would pop up at various times, only to disappear again in minutes.

Tried bidding 2 more times when the regular room rate would pop up on Marriott's site and was successful the 2nd time! I bid $95 because recent posts were won around that same price and I didnt' want to waste time to have the room slip away from me :)
