  1. Well I got the PL room this time. I had a XX922 room and it was at the end of the hall by the exit door and the wind was blowing hard outside. The howling was coming under my door and it sounded like a train was coming through. So if they offer you a XX922 or XX921 room ask for some thing else. The good part of this stay was that there was a top sheet on the bed :)

    This is a great hotel with great drink service. This could all change when they get enough customers without PLs help.

  2. huh? what are you talking about?

    In the past if you were not sure where to start your bid and did not want to over bid you could place a bid and when you get to the part where PL asks for the 3 numbers from the back of the card you could put in the wrong numbers and the bid would not go through until you entered the correct numbers. If PL came back and asked for the correct numbers you knew your bid was going to be accepted and you could start a new bid at a lower amount so as not to over bid. Are you with me (hl23) or have you never bid for a room before?

  3. Well for the past few years you could always test the waters when bidding by entering the wrong three numbers from the back of the card. When doing this if you were going to win a room PL would come back and ask for the correct three numbers and if you were not going to win it would say they found nothing for your offer. This is no longer the case as today I won the room without entering the correct three numbers. So I will be taking an unexpected trip to sin city :) . This is just a heads up to anyone else that has been using this trick. I am just glad it happened on a one night stay and not a 5 nighter.

  4. I can't remember the last time one of these hotels (Paris/Caesars) were reported to the board as a win. Most of the time Planet Hollywood, Westin, Luxor and now I would say there is a good chance of Monte Carlo coming up. Hotwire has what looks to be the Westin for your dates for $99 per night. So if you use PL to bid I would keep your bids under $99. When you use PL you will get no info until after your bid is accepted at witch time the hotel name will pop up on your screen.

    Please start a new topic for your Niagra Falls stay.

  5. If I were you I would bid these areas, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Tempe in this order. The only problem with bidding Tempe is it includes a not so good part of South Phoenix. You might even bid Fountain Hills for resort as the Radisson Fort Mcdowell can be had cheap some times and the place is real nice. Plus its the only resort I have ever seen come up on the board in this area. Its about 10-15 miles to Mesa and Scottsdale from the Radisson.

  6. started at $159, 5*, north strip. rejected. added south strip and raised to $169. rejected. logged out and waited 1 day. went to $179, north strip. rejected. added south strip and raised to $189. the counter offer on both days was $207.

    Did you know that you could have used more free rebid areas and keep bidding on your first try with out having to wait a day?

  7. I started bidding for this Sat night stay at 4* with a counter offer of $226. I moved to 5* today after again failing @4*. My last bid before the $169 win was $167. At $155 I got a counter offer of $188. I thought I was going to win the Venetian as it was listed on PL for $349 where the Palazzo was listed for $421 for this night. Very happy with this win,can't wait to check the new place out.
