Well, if you want to do Priceline, you just don't know if you are going to have room for 4 people without bringing sleeping bags for the floor. If $120 is your upper limit for 2 rooms, go ahead and try PL for $50 or $60 for 2 rooms at a low * level and see what you get. I am not very optimistic about success with that, though. I just looked at Hotwire. I am not too familiar with Hotwire, but it appears they give the option to specify 4 people in a single room. This may limit the options, but one 1* for $72 in the south strip came up for your dates. Not sure what that would be, but if you want to have 4 people walk to the strip for under a hundred bucks, then there you go. Or for $106 you can get a 3* west of the strip for 4 people. Will you have a car? Some of these hotels have shuttles to the strip, too. In general, if you really want to do things cheap, you should ask yourself if it is important to be able to walk to the strip the entire time? Are you going to have a car so that moving hotels is a better option? Maybe you could stay on the strip one night or two. Or maybe, if you like the idea of walking to the strip, you might like to stay on one end of the strip one night and on another end another night. Lets say you did take the 1* on Hotwire for all three nights. Yea, you're on the strip, but are you going to walk to the Wynn. The strip is BIG and getting bigger. If I was on the south end of the strip and wanted to see the Wynn, I'd probably drive (or take the trolley thing they have or bus if I didn't have a car). And are you going to check out Fremont street? going to have to drive. Or the Stratosphere? I don't know what you plan to do in town or if you've been there much, so its hard to give advice. My point, though, is that if you insist on being within walking distance of the Strip, you might be consigning yourself to a borderline room which to me is silly if you are going to be jumping into your car to go see things. If you are going to have a car, I would try 2* on priceline west of the strip for 2 rooms. Start low and add the east of the strip zone then the strip zone as you raise your offer price. You can start really low and raise your bid a buck at a time and still be done with the process in a week considering you can re bid every 24 hours now.
