Hello, I am planning a trip with friends for 06/26 to 06/28. We would like to spend less than $100 for a hotel on the strip (the best hotel possible at that rate of course). We are a group of 8-10 people so we would need two double occupancy rooms at least. I have looked on hotwire and priceline but I am absolutely overwhelmed. Should I try bidding on priceline? Here is a list of hotels my friends DON'T want to stay at: Excalibur, Monte Carlo, Tropicana, Luxor and Stratosphere. Thanks in advance, and let me know if I'm missing any info.

I booked with Treasure Island and I chose the room with strip view.

Thank you all for your help! It turns out it was better for me to stay in North strip because that's where the MGM festival grounds are. I tried to name my own price a few times (using the links on this site of course), but unfortunately I didn't get the results I wanted. I tried North and South strip from 4+ stars and bid up to $115 and they were all declined. I was getting ready to buy to use the Priceline express link, but first I decided to check the hotel's website directly and I feel like I got a much better deal. Priceline was offering $130/night (or $155 for a room with strip view). The hotel offered me $127.25/night (or $139.50/night for a room with strip view) and both deals included "2 Free Buffets" whatever that means...It was a limited time offer so needless to say I got very lucky. But again, thank you for your help and I will definitely book through better bidding in the future!

Sorry to make this thread so long. I just realized that maybe South Strip is better for me. A friend had told me that North was better, but in looking at the map South Strip is closer to (and includes) the MGM.

I think you are right, SLS might be too far. I am actually hoping to stay as close as possible to MGM. I am attending the Rock in Rio festival there and I was hoping to avoid having to get a monorail pass. Do you know if the Tropicana is an option on priceline or hotwire? Treasure Island also looks really good, I wouldn't mind staying there.

Thank you! I have never been to Vegas so I'm not sure how much hotels usually cost but I was hoping to spend around $100/night, or of course the least possible and still have a nice stay.

Hello, I came accross this site while researching how to use priceline name your own price. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for my specific trip, or how much I should bid. It's my first time in Vegas so I wanted to stay a nicer hotel. I am looking for 4 stars or higher. The dates of my trip are 05/14/15 to 05/18/15. Thanks in advance!! :D EDIT: I should add that I was looking to stay in the North Strip area.
