I spoke to my friend and t is in the Convention Center area. He has some friends coming the same weekend and they were able to get it again at the same price for the same dates.

A friend made this bid and got the Renaissance on his first try. Your Offer Price: $120.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $240.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $34.38 Total Charges*: $274.38

Just returned from my stay and will post pictures soon. The hotel was very nice though I don't know why it says Resort in the name. There is a $9 "Resort" fee which includes free internet in the rooms, free wi-fi in the business center (and lobby possibly), access to the pool and jacuzzi and a few other ammenities. They also gave me a welcome kit because I am a Priority Club member. With this we got a free coffe from Diedrich's in the lobby (Regular only), 2 FREE breakfasts at the California Grill Buffett and 2 50% off coupons for the other restaurant's buffet. The rooms were great and this is the first time I fell asleep right away in a hotel without tossing and turning. The bed was fantastic!

Tried every weekend Fri-Sun starting September 21 and working backwards. Each bid was for $60. Finally hit Aug 24-26.

Good to know. I felt bad the 2 times I've bid and didn't go through the Savingsbarn link. I'll do it with my 3rd and final voucher. Thanks for all the work you do here, it really is appreciated! :)

The discount was from the La Quinta Resort fiasco and had to be accessed from a link in an email. They didn't give me a code to use. If I am incorrect let me know because I have one left and I'll make sure to go through Savingsbarn. Thanks Thereuare.

Won the Crowne Plaza in Anaheim. Started bidding at $40- Rejected Added zone $45- Rejected Added zone and $10 credit $55 total bid- Won I probably could have bid $40 + $10 voucher but I was down to my last bid and the rom is for tomorrow night. Your Offer Price: $55.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $45.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $12.50 Total Charges*: $57.50 Couldn't use Savingsbarn.com because of the $10 Priceline voucher. :)

I think I'm just feeling dissapointed since I stayed at the Venetian last time :) . I don't want to spen that much for this trip so I am fine with it. I'll post pix when I get back.

Won the Westin for $55. Great rate but the reviews aren't that good. I am going in a bit skeptical but I really can't beat the rate. Your Offer Price: $55.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $110.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $19.53 Total Charges*: $129.53 Used Savingsbarn.com

That is the right address. It is in the Airport zone, not Henderson. Please change the heading to reflect the correct area.

Bid to $55 for 2 1/2* in the following zones: Summerlin- NW Las Vegas West of Strip Las Vegas Strip Fremont Street Added Henderson- Lake Las Vegas and increased bid to $60 Your Offer Price: $60.00 ***(Used a $10 per night credit so actual bid was $70 per night) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $120.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $20.56 Total Charges*: $140.56

All charges should be included in the total you pay to Priceline. The only exception I am aware of is the Resort Fee some Resort properties charge. This is a fee for the use of their facilities and is a daily charge usually around $20. If you are not bidding on a resort then there shouldn't be any extra fees unless, of course, you order room service, use the spa, etc. Some hotels charge for phone calls so be aware of that also. And remember any of these "extra" fees would be charged regardless of using Priceline.

I booked through i4vegas.com a few weeks ago for a stay in October. Everything appears to be legit (I hope).

It works for both rooms. You can enter all the info but not bid and it shows teh cost and the amount Priceline puts up for your bid.

I just returned from this property exactly a year from the date Oleander was there. 8/26-8/28/06. We arrived about midnight and the front desk staff was very nice. No upgrades available as they sais they were sold out for the weekend. The hotel lobby was in great condition and looked very nice. The restaurants and shopping area was very nice as well but the $20 for the character buffet was a bit overpriced for the selection. I didn't realize it was a Disney characted breakfast until I saw Minney Mouse (She gave me a kiss on the cheek so I guess the $ was worth it :)) The room was very nice and didn't look dated or worn at all. The only problem was that the sink area was too small. Other than that there was no complaint. The view out our window was of the convention areas roof and the freeway. Fortunately there was a lot of greenery so it wasn't really that bad of a view. The carpeting in the room and hallways looked new. I didn't use the pools but walked by them to take pictures (Posted in the hotel picture link). They looked nice and not too crowded. There is an arcade that I didn't go in. The bar next to the lobby is open and has a pool table you can rent by the hour. Construction must have been completed because we didn't see any going on. There is a Disney store where you can buy tickets to any of the parks without waiting in lines and there is a shuttle leaving every half hour for the parks. We didn't take advantage of these services so I can't comment on them. They say it is walking distance to Downtown Disney but it is not that close and there are no sidewalks. I'd drive or take a shuttle. I was happy with the hotel, the staff and the everything else there. I would definitely stay there again, especially at Priceline rates. :)

Last bid: $85- Rejected I'm sticking with what I have now. I am thinking the * level downgrade may not have affected the price.
