    Hotel was great. Originally got a room in the newly renovated section, however had to switch to the original part of the hotel because of the incredibly strong paint fumes from the renovations that permeated our room and the hallways. Just a heads up for anyone looking to get this hotel anytime soon.

  8. This is a continuation from my earlier post where I split my bid for a 4 night stay in SF. This Friday and Saturday night were so much more expensive than what I've seen on this board. I've been going up on my bidding a few dollars every day and finally hit it today.

    Used the PRICELINE link on this website.

    Some extra information if this helps anyone out there: I have bid up to $152 per night for a 4* in either USE or USW for these dates and haven't even received so much as a counter offer.

  9. This is a new hotel not on the San Francisco hotel list.

    Used the PRICELINE link located on this website.

    Originally tried to get a 4* in USE or USW from 5/16/08 - 5/20/08 but bid as high as $125 per night using rebid zones and was without luck.

    Decided to split my bid and try for the 4* hotel on the last two nights of the trip (Sunday and Monday nights).

    Will let the board know where I am able to get for the first two nights when booked.

    First started off bidding for 4* in USE

    $70......rejected

    $75......rejected

    $80......rejected

    $86......rejected

    Then bid for a 4* in USW

    $70........rejected

    $75........rejected

    $85........rejected

    $94........rejected

    Then bid for a 4* in USW and USE

    $95........accepted!

    Tried to extend my stay for the previous two days, but was turned down.

    Should have probably gone for a lower first bid for both zones, but am very happy with how it worked out!

  11. Hey everyone. I'm new to this board and have found it to be a HUGE asset when using priceline. I've already been able to save over $120 on a hotel!

    I wanted to book 2 nights on the strip in a 4 or 5 star hotel checking in on 5/18/08 (staying Sunday and Monday night). My max per night would be about $140-150.

    Only problem I've run into is that is seems this is an expensive couple of days in Vegas (for not being Friday or Saturday night). Here are some rates I found:

    Venetian - $550 per night

    MGM Grand - $330 per night

    Paris - $429 per night

    Planet Hollywood - $199 per night

    Has anyone out there who has previously bid on hotels on non Friday or Saturday nights when prices are this high had any success in getting some of the great rates I've seen on this board? Anyone have a strategy for where to start when prices are so high to begin with?

    Thank you in advance, and I will be sure to follow up with what hotel I end up getting when (or if) I start bidding.
