The Express deal that ended up as being Venetian was Rated at 8+ Very Good. Before I purchased, there were two 5* hotels listed, both at $209. SInce I also booked the Palazzo recently for work, one of the two listings said, "HINT: you've booked here before." And the room options all sounded like Palazzo rooms. The other for $209 had rooms that sounded like the Venetian named rooms. Amenities included: Restaurant Airport Shuttle Indoor or Outdoor Pool Casino Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities picked the Venetian for this deal since it's a little closer to the other cheaper casinos, bars and restaurants we like to go to.

grabbed two rooms at the Venetian under the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for 209/nt for 3 nights each. This one is listed as 8+ rating. Rates published through retail were 276/nt.

Done! Added my Palazzo win for APril. I picked that one since I need to be at the Wynn for a conference. Thanks for the advice. I am going to grab the Venetian for the personal stay in May. There are two different $209 express deals. One lists a couple of room choices resembling the Palazzo, and the other has a number of room choices for Venetian. so it looks like both are available for ~$200

$163.00/nt for 4/2-4/5

Good questions. I am not opposed to the Central East region. I like that Central area, and based on the hotels you have listed in the thread at 4 and above in those two regions, I'd be happy with any of them...Cosmo, Bellagio, ceasars, PH, Paris, or Cromwell. I would probably start my bidding in Central West at 5 stars, then add Central east 5 stars. Then go to 4 stars across those two. On the NYOP page, I didn't see that I could do 4.5 and above, just 4 or 5. there is a 4.5 express deal in Central west which I assume is Ceasars, but that costs even more at 297, than the 249 deal for a 5 star for my dates of 5/19-5/22. I just got back from the Cosmo earlier this week. I am going to be in Vegas a few more times in the coming weeks, and I just booked Palazzo for April 2-5 with the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal at $163. I attempted to get it through NYOP, but was unsuccessful even at $155. I started at 110 and kept incrementing and adding regions until I hit $155 and was still unsuccessful. i just gave up and bought the express for $8 more. This is telling me that the NYOP acceptable offers are pretty close to the Express Deals price...or at least it was in my instance. Are you guys seeing this too? So if the epxress deal for the 5 start Central west is $249, I am guessing that's going to be my price if I want Cosmo or Bellagio.

For a 5 star central west, i would max out my bid at $180. If I didnt succeed, I'd re-bid the Central East 4 star hotels and start at 70, going up to 130.

I am looking to do a name your own price on a 5 star vegas hotel on the strip - Central West. The express deal for the weekend we want is $248. We are looking at 5/19-5/22. it seems to be a busy weekend so most hotels are climbing in price. Still a bit rich for me so I want to try to name my own price. Here are a few of my assumptions: Based on hotel lists, the only 5 start resorts with casino in Central west are Cosmo and Bellagio. Ive read sometimes Aria but not conclusive. I have about 12 rebids I can see since there are about 12 other vegas areas without a 5 star hotel, so I can add each one and rebid. I see many people getting this hotel for 111-141. But none are weekends, or for the week I am going. My questions are "what is a good starting bid and realistic approved bid?" Is Aria considered part of priceline's 5 star central west casino resorts?
