  1. could you please tell us how you confirmed this?
  2. you may be right! i blew up priceline's map and it seems to overlay a very narrow area where trump is located. also, only 5 and 4 stars are available here. too bad as i would have aggressively bid for 3 rooms in june for ventian/palazzo had i known instead of booking a discounted car/room package at the aria. at least i got 6 'free' tix to cirque shows! someone needs to be a guinea pig and try to book 1 of these zones. if true i bet priceline and or ventian saw the huge dropoff in these bookings when trump showed up and i guess that is why this 'new' zone showed up.
  3. first bid at $35 accepted. haven't seen any accepted below 35 going back through the years of data
  4. i disagree with your comment. please see my 2 wins for 5* 5/10-5/12 and 5/10-5/13. you will see that the number of weekdays/weekend days made a difference in what was accepted.
  5. i would be trying up until you are inside your current reservation cancellation window. i would bet that with a counter of 177, you will be successful at 159-160 if you are willing to go there!(i.e. i believe you JUST missed!)
  6. book your res as a backup and continue bidding DAILY up to your limit. you never know when projected unused inventory becomes available!
  7. you should listen to thereuare! start bidding @135 and go up 1 by 1. you should get a 'win' by 160. the coupons are likely worthless or could be obtained by anyone and the gaming credits are probably the same you would get by signing up for the player's card which you can do on line. you should be bidding DAILY as your time is short!!
  8. i bet your 'win' is within a few $$ of your highest bid of 138, possibly even 139. try again tonight starting from 130 and using rebids and combos upping by 1 each time. you should be rewarded. these bids are for king beds but, if you ask nicely and they aren't sold out they will likely give you 2 queens (albeit without a good view). GO FIGHTING ILLINI!!! (VS BADGERS FOR NCAA BERTH SUN)
  9. while i'd love to see you get the 5* for 120, i would be quite surprised if it came through. the 4* in the 59-75 range could end up almost anything, not just Planet Hollywood as was happening a few months ago. are you willing to end up @westin, etc? for less than $100 split X ways over 3 nights you guys could be staying in the 'lap of luxury' (with us!!) instead of???
  10. i would bid slowly up to 160 as i think that you have a decent chance of a 'win' between 150-165. you should have many, many rebids so you could even go up by $1 per rebid between 145-160 when you get there. good luck, these are GREAT hotels at good prices (if you can get them!)
  11. both of you should keep trying on a daily basis! Palazzo isn't going to offer 179/night if these dates are filling up. it is likely they haven't given PL access to the excess inventory YET! be patient and they likely will turn up! ILLINI 64 PENN STATE 63 GO FIGHTING ILLINI !! (FRI VS PURDUE)
  12. sounds like the same counters we got last week which means 146 is what you will need for the 5*. OTOH, i saw a $59 for PH come thru but for a diff night. good luck
  13. good luck, i think we haven't seen much under $135, if you are willing to bid to 140 and keep bidding daily you stand a chance. in the meantime, get yourself a res as a back up that you can cancel!
  14. with those weekend nights @179 i would start bidding @120 and expect success lower than 150 maybe 140 or even less! good luck and let us know!
  15. not much you can do . westin has been listed in the hotel list for some time now and has been recently reported as a win fairly regularly. i also wanted PH for my son's 21st bday this may. unfortunately the 45-60 deals there seem to have vanished. rather than risk a hotel i didn't really want we decided to bid 5* and get either Palazzo or Venetian. you still have a good place at a great price and i am sure that your child will still be happy! it's not that much of a walk to most of the mid/south strip areas.
  16. 153 rejected, 154 accepted for my aunt @Palazzo for 2 nights 4/8-4/10. i really should start charging 'commission'! oh well, she is giving us dinner tomorrow!! *used betterbidding PRICELINE link properly FINALLY!!!!!! GO FIGHTING ILLINI !!!!!!!!!
  17. here is a link to my recent res that i referenced above, Priceline Las Vegas Venetian
  18. i could be wrong but summerlin has a 4* resort so if you bid for 5* only you won't get it. in south strip i believe that The Hotel @ Mandalay Bay is a 5* but haven't seen it as a win on these boards.
  19. i believe only strip north/strip south have 5*. all the rest are free rebids. keep it simple! make each bid a brand new bid instead of adding zones. i numbered the zones 1 thru 9 and since 1 is greyed out you have 8 possible zones with zone 5,6 the only 5*.if you only want ventian/palazzo don't use zone 6(south strip). bid 5, then new bid 5+2, new bid 5+3, new bid 5+4,etc thru 5+9. then bid 5+2+3, 5+2+4,etc. once the 3 combos are exhausted go to 4 combos. you will either get bid accepted or reach your limit before you run out of bidding chances!
  20. your time is short however, a counter of $177 there are rooms available at prices prob not far from where you bid. i am going in may (10-13) and for my time they accepted what amounted to $140 for weekday night(sun, mon) and $158 for sat night. although i arrived at these using a mathematical equation the actual $$ could be off by 1 or 2. i would suggest bidding up to 160-165 in very small increments using the many free rebids for these zones. if you need to know how to do this please ask.
  21. i don't think we have seen 40's for PH in awhile. i think you would have better luck with the 5*. based on your counteroffers, it is likely priceline doesn't have inventory for your dates. i would patiently keep trying on a daily basis and sooner or later they will show up. in the meantime, get yourself a backup res that can be canceled.
  22. this was the second reservation made the other night and as requested i am posting it a a separate win. please change the price on the first post to $146 for 5/10-5/13 as i am unable to find the edit button. i have also fixed the priceline bookmark so you guys will get credit for future referrals! thanks!
  23. oops, that is 1 bookmark i definitely didn't do right! it is now!!
  24. guys, as stated in the post there are 2 separate reservations here 1) 5/10-5/12 Venetian @ $149 per night 2) 5/10-5/13 Venetian @ $146 per night please adjust subject lines AND the calendar of wins
