hello,
i'm planning to travel to NY from 5/21 to 5/26 and i used hotwire to try to get some rates
i came across this 2 stars one in Long Island City - elmhurst area hotel
but i'm not able to identify it
the amenities are: shuttle, fitness, restaurant, laundry and internet
the price is $77 per night
please help out, thank you
from my experience, i don't think you can avoid trump through PRICELINE. the only way to avoid trump is through hotwire, which is usually cost more. however, one thing i noticed and you can try to work that toward your advantage is that you will win trump in the weekend and venetian in the week day. which means trump is cheaper in the weekend and venetian is cheaper in the week day, probably because the popularity.
another thing i suggested is that you can also want to stay in THE hotel, i think is one of the best on the strip even though is a little farther from the center of strip
since PRICELINE only guarantees a room that accommodate 2 persons, that's why i called in and make sure i have 2 queens because i have 4 people per room. i don't want to stuck in a room with one bed with 4 people.
i also think is a good win because i read someone got THE Hotel for 160 during weekday, so 165 for weekend is a great win
update:
i just called The Hotel and asked them nicely to see if they can change my room to 2 queens and they did
now, the final step is to go there on that day and use the $20 trick for upgrade!!
hi guys,
i have just won the bid of $165 for 2 nights at THE Hotel
i booked 2 rooms tho if that's a factor
now i have to call the hotel and hopefully they will change my 1 king to 2 queens
pray for me =)
ps. used the PRICELINE link through this website
thanx for the tip
since we all know that both hotwire and priceline are not refundable once is book
and we also understand the law of demand and supply
i was wondering
when is the best time to make reservation prior to your arrival date?
should we make reservation early or late?
Casinos have professional market analysis and that's how they price their hotel room
but i have also encounter slightly price drop when arrival date is approaching
according to any of your experts experience
when is the best time to make reservation?
thank you
i haven't set the exact date, but i'll inform you when is the exact date
thank you very much
hello experts,
i was reading the thread and found someone who won venetian for around $120 (congra)
however, i have a question
i was reading a lot of the threads and found out trump international is usually the one that's win by most people who bid on the 5* got trump international, so for the fact that venetian is a much popular hotel than trump, and this is why trump is willing to offer cheaper rate then venetian even if they are both 5*
so, how do you win 5* hotel on north strip w/o letting trump comes into play?
no casino floor is a concern for me since i'm bring my old grandma
i understand there is THEhotel in the south but this question is just concern about the north strip
so winning venetian is just a pure luck
or some advice?
thanx
hi guys, first time poster
i was going to use Hotwire and/or Priceline for my upcoming vegas trip, but since i haven't decided the date, i will not post my result yet
i have used $20 trick before i knew this trick exist. i'm an out going person and i know good things will happen when you make front desk personnel happy.
i was chatting away with a from desk clerk at New York New York and he upgraded me to ziggurat suite (which is not on their website), i was overwhelmed and i tipped him. the 2nd night i was at THE hotel and i did the same thing, asked for upgrade then tip and i was able to get the penthouse at 60th floor.
Later when i came back from Vegas then i found out this tip trick
however, i have one question right now tho
when is the best time to check in for this trick to work at the best?
upgrades are based on availablily of the rooms, so there could be a good time to check in with high success rate?
please help, thanx
