Whoops! Sorry about that-- the date of bidding and the stay was 8/14.

Started bidding at $32, used all 3 free rebids, accepted at $37. Used the PRICELINE link above.

It has been more than a year, but I have bid 4* downtown Louisville successfully 6 times, receiving the Brown twice and the Seelbach 4 times. The accepted bid was around $70 each time. I wouldn't recommend the airport options, those hotels are not at all nice. The only other zone I would recommend it Louisville East, where I have successfully pricelined the Embassy Suites numerous times, usually paying $45, never more than $48. This hotel is clean, spacious and offers a really good free breakfast. It used to be the only priceline 3* in the zone, but now the Marriot is also a possibility (although I have never won the Marriot).

With the Venetian website showing weeknight rates of $169, I started bidding at $90 and was coutneroffered $133. Bid up in $5 increments and was accepted at $120 for a single night on 7/17. Was immediately offered chance to add on additional days at the same rate.
