Hi
I have been bidding for the past week starting bid $100 strip vicinity countered with $160
added rebid zone of convention center bid $105 no take, added rebid zone of airport bid $ 109 no
take added west of strip bid $114 still no
waited 3 days and tried again, any suggestions?
got the venetian the last 2 years for $ 99 and $100 respectively for 2 nights
Stayed Sunday July 24 at check in front desk added my hilton honors number to my room for points,
checked in to room and found that we had a pool view and spacious room, bad part we were just 3 rooms
from a balcony ( oh well ) . Pool was big and water was just fine , jacuzzi was at the perfect temperature
and big enough for a big group of people.
This hotel property was very spacious and had many banquet facilities, the parking was $13 per night
which was a shock to add to the price , but the parking lot clerk said to have the hotel front desk validate
the ticket and that we could come and go without any hassle. The best part to this was that we ended
up paying 0 for parking.
this hotel was well worth the price of $70 and would stay there again. :)
Although we stayed after you we felt that it was a good property for the price, we paid $43 plus fees
we were told at check in that there was a $12 fee which included valet parking, internet access, cold breakfast
bar. the room was fine with us although two double beds would have been better as two queen beds.
The front desk girl Irene was especially helpful, the pool was bathtub warm. The hotel is remodeling rooms
and the one we got was fine. OH, by the way did I mention that part of the resort fee you had a free
drink happy hour of draft beer , white zin, and other wines from the hours of 5-6 p.m., trust me I got
my $12 resort fee back at this function.
Overall this hotel was worth the $43 + $12. Any time you see a resort added to the name of a hotel you
should be prepared for an additional fee.
thanks :)

I am sorry that I am talking in riddles as it is ok to move from one hotel on 7/28 to another on 7/29
and then checking out of one on 7/31 to move to the venetian on 7/31---8/2 we have another hotel on
8/2-----8/4 when we leave .
just trying different avenues. this way we experience different hotels.
thanks
As I said we have Circus Circus as a back up not sure if we want to do this or not as we normally stay at
Flamingo or MGM as for price as an average we would like to get away with between $100 and $130
as for weekend stay.
no real budget for the stay, trying to find the lowest possible rate for a decent hotel .
have the flamingo for $79 on 7/28 and circus circus for $59--89--89 7/28--7/31.
Never stayed at circus circus but spent alot of time there, not sure about the rooms?
these are just backups. wife and kids want to stay at somewhere that has a good pool.
thanks
Yes, am willing to split bid , basically already doing so as we have the venetian for 7/31---8/2 At
$99 thanks to this site.
