$80.73 with taxes & fees. I'm quite sure same hotel was offered as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal at $71.00 ($89.97 with taxes & fees) so using NYOP saved approximately 10%.

PRICELINE EXPRESS deal - 4*, $69/night ($84.97 with taxes and fees). Amenities - Free Internet, Fitness Center, Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Business Center, No Smoking Rooms/Facility

I had seen a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal at $90 which I presumed to be the Westin Alexandria. But when I clicked on the link PL said this deal was no longer available so I bid $85/night for 4* in this zone. Accepted with total price of $206.20. Least expensive rate on hotel website: $128/night.

With taxes and $5 resort fee the total came to $67.78. As far as I know this hotel is the only one in this area with a resort fee. It was offered as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for $57 so I have a few bucks by bidding. I have stayed here several times previously. It's a bit dated but comfortable enough and a good value for the price.

Three nights at the 3.5* Hyatt Regency near Reagan Airport for $78/night. Best rate on Hyatt's site: $129/night. Amenities of this PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal - pets allowed, free internet, business center, pool, airport shuttle and fitness center.

This was a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal - 5* hotel with casino in the North Strip - for four nights beginning May 15. Showed guest rating of 9/10. Amenities: business center, casino, restaurants, fitness center and indoor or outdoor pool. With taxes and fees the four nights totaled $382 (plus report fee charged at check-in). I had been checking these dates for the past two weeks, and this showed up last night. I suspected Palazzo or the Wynn. Turned out to be the Palazzo. I have bid into LV several times in the past. For what's it worth here are thoughts on the other 5*'s for these dates: 1) North Strip, no casino - almost certainly the Trump; 2) Relatively inexpensive ($77/night) on South Strip - likely the Vdara; 3) Expensive ($198/night) 5* without a casino also on South Strip - I bet the Four Seasons; and another hotel with a casino in the South Strip (at $111/night) - probably the Aria. This is my first post on Better Bidding. I have been a long time user of TOBB but find this site has more actionable information.
