Found a link for $10 bonus cash, first bid of $50 was rejected, second bid of $55 plus $10 bonus cash accepted. It's basically a brand new hotel, very happy with this bid. Lowest rate on their website is $135. I believe this hotel was listed as a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $69 a night. Hyatt Place Lax El Segundo El Segundo - Manhattan Beach 750 North Nash Street, Los Angeles, CA 90245

My husband and I were looking for a room for one night in the Chicago area. I first bid in the NW Indiana area and a 3* was rejected at $60, so I figured I would try Chicago for $65. I did just one bid....$65 for 2.5 and above in either Loop or Michigan Ave zone and was accepted right away....I guess I should of started lower, oh well....best rate on the site is $199 and I love Embassy Suites.

I booked this for my husband. The best price I was finding online with discounts was about $17 per day. Hotwire had a compact for $17.95. My first bid of $12 was accepted.

Thanks for the tip about EasyClickTravel also having lower rates than the Caesar's properties. Caesar's Palace is also available on easyclicktravel.com for your dates for $205 which is less than their website price of $270 per night. You could book Caesar's for $154 per night with the guarantee.

Ok, so found even a better deal. $90 per night for your dates at the Flamingo. Look under weekend warrior packages. Here is the link. Flamingo

If you would be interested in the Flamingo, they have a special for $90 for your dates. Here is the link to book. Look under the weekend warrior packages. Flamingo

Another site to get lower rates at. www.nhrb.com has better rates than Bally's website for your dates, so you could submit a request using this sites lower price. nhrb.com has Bally's for $166.05 per night, so if you use Bally's guarantee, you could get these nights for $124.54 per night, even better than worldres.com. Let us know if you go for it, really you have nothing to loose since Bally's rooms are refundable. This would also work for Flamingo using nhrb.com, rate for Flamingo are 162.50 for your dates, so you would pay 75% of that, or if you really want to spend a little extra, even Caesars is coming up cheaper than their own website, Caesars is $198,186 for your dates. All of these properties have the guarantee.

That is so strange. It worked for me this morning and its showed as available. This happened a couple weeks ago and then in a couple of days, it was taking reservations again. Keep trying. Paris was available this morning too and is now not accepting reservations.

You can get Bally's for $127.50 per night for that Friday and Saturday. Here's how you do it. You book these rooms thru Bally's which are $239,329. They will charge your credit card for the first night and it is totally cancelable, so if you did find something better you could cancel this. You then follow their rules and use their best rate guarantee and they will match the lower rate from worldres.com plus give you an additional 25% off the lowest rate you find. You have to submit this request within 24 hours by fax or email. You need to send them screen shots from worldres.com confirmations page. Worldres.com has these rooms for $170 per night, so 75% of this is $127.50, not bad for a weekend night in the middle of the strip. I did this for a friend of mine and it worked without any problems. Many others have used this strategy also with great success.

There are no re-bids in this zone, so $150 was my first bid and it was accepted. I bid this for some friends of mine. They are so thrilled. The best price on Marriott's website was $203 and this is a pre-paid rate. I did some searching and took a chance that this is probably the only 4 star hotel that would come up in St. Kitts. It did show availability when I plugged in a vacation request for their dates. They knew that they may not get this hotel, but I felt pretty sure that it would be the Marriott. If they would of booked thru Marriott, it would of been almost $3500, so they saved almost $1000. They also used miles for 4 out the 5 airline tickets, so a family of five will go on this trip around Thanksgiving for about $3100 from Boston. Here are the details from Priceline.

Yes, that rate guarantee works for all of those properties now. Its on each of their websites. Feel confident when you book a room through our website or any of the Caesars websites that you'll receive the guaranteed lowest rate for that same hotel. We promise that if you do find a lower published rate on one of our rooms (packages and promotions excluded), we'll not only match that rate, we'll also give you an additional 25% off the lower rate. Simply submit a Best Rate Plus Guarantee Claim Form to us and we'll honor the lower rate. For more information on how to process a claim click here.

I found the Alladin for you even cheaper. Here is the link to book it through. With this link, it comes to $643 for the stay, $49 Sun-thur and $199 for Friday and Saturday. link

Check out my reply a few posts below, the one titled, 5/20 need 4 nights. If you would be interested in Bally's, you could get it for $92 per night for your dates.

I just wanted to let you know I was successful getting Paris to match my lower price plus 25% with their Best Rate Guarantee. Paris had my rates for 6/8-6/12 (thu-mon) for $636, Worldres.com had it for $568, then with the guarantee, I got it for $426 plus taxes for 4 nights, not bad for a long weekend at Paris.

I bid this for my cousin, went all the way up to $65 for a 4 star and no dice. I guess Saturday check-in can be a problem. With taxes and fees it was like $48.

I think the big problem is the Saturday night check-in, if he could get a different hotel for the first night and then book the rest with Bally's, it's a pretty good deal. Bally's has 5/28-6/3 for his stay for $560.26 with taxes. Maybe just use Hotwire for the first night.

I found decent rates for Bally's for your stay at Worldres.com. They have it for 145,123,123,123 for your stay. I have never booked with them before, but it looks like they will hold your reservation with no deposit, but then it says that they do charge a 5% cancellation fee, so I guess this is only good is you really wanted to book it. I have just used their prices before for a price match guarantee. Actually, I was just thinking about this some more. If you are interested in Ballys, just book the first night with Worldres.com and then book your next 3 nights with Bally's directly which is available on their site for 149,149,149. You book it with them, then submit a price match guarantee for these nights, they match worldres.com plus give you an additional 25% off the lowest price. You just need to print out the claim form and either fax or email it back to them within 24 hours of booking. Others have been successful getting these rates matched plus 25%. I have a claim right now that I am waiting on hearing back from them for a friends stay at Paris. I just submitted it this morning. So with the 25% match your rates for the last 3 nights would be $92.25 per night.

My husband is going to LA for the weekend and wanted to stay at a 4 star property this time and this is what he got. 1. $50 2. $56 added Culver City 3. $60 added Hollywood, got the Sheraton.

I got this on my first bid. Very happy, husband has stayed here before and liked it. With taxes and fees, comes to $87.77 for the 2 nights. I just checked and the lowest price on their website for one night is $99. I also see that they have free internet access.

I bid this for my sister. First tried downtown all the way up to $60 with no luck. Then got this on 2nd bid, 1st bid $35 and added free re-bid, got for $42. Kenwood Inn and Suites 8020 Montgomery Rd Cincinatti, OH Web rate is $79, not bad.

Your Offer Price: $19.00 Total Rental Days: 4 Subtotal: $76.00 Taxes & Fees: $41.00 Total Charges: $117.00 The best rate I had found prior to bidding this was $25 per day with Dollar.

I bid these 2 rooms for a friend. Tried Priceline up to $55 for 3 star, no luck, 2.5 star up to $50, no luck. I then checked our Easyclicktravel and decided for $39, I would just book this Days Inn. It was a blind booking, but I figured it out ahead of time based on the description. To help figure these rooms out, I copy the description and google it and I can usually figure out what hotel it is. The descriptions are taken right from the hotels own web site, not usually to hard to figure out which property they are. They only need this room for the evening prior to a cruise, so they won't be here long. Trip Advisor had decent reviews for this hotel. Total charges for the 2 rooms was $105.14. I booked this using your link. Thanks for a great board.

Good luck getting tickets if you haven't done so yet. The Cubs play the Sox that weekend. Have fun!

I bid this for a friend. He needed 2 rooms in the Universal Area. Bid $41, $45,$ 50, $55.

Well the gambler in me went for it and today I received my email from Hotwire refunding me double the difference. I booked 2 rooms, total price charged from Hotwire was $511.95, but I have a refund coming in the amount of $428. This makes the total price paid for 2 rooms for 4 nights around $83. Thanks everyone.
