I will be traveling to Las Vegas for a convention that is being held at the Riviera Hotel and Casino at the address listed in my help request. The reviews I

I've managed to answer both my own questions with some additional site exploration. Thanks.

I've been unsuccessful at bidding for the hotel thought to be the Hyatt on the Hudson for these dates and am forced to look elsewhere for this part of my trip. Hotwire has a customer favorite, 3.5 star hotel in Morristown Parsippany (amenities are pool, tennis nearby, business center, fitness center) for 59$ a night for these dates. 1) Does Priceline have the what is thought to be the same hotel available? If so, please suggest bidding strategy. 2) How complicated would it be to get from this area to NYC using public transportation. Thanks!

All this flirting with the possiblity of not having any place at all got to me and I CALLED hotwire to purchase a room and was quoted a fee of 60 dollars a night for January 1-3. The website was quoting 64 a night so I feel a tiny bit better. Course I'm going to feel terrible about my blink if others who don't mind dancing on the edge come up with the 37$ a night for these nights-but so be it. So now I'm just looking for a room for December 30-31st. I'm used to having a car and the idea of feeling trapped in a place bounded by highways does not appeal. Thus, I'm looking in areas where I can access public transportation into NYC. I welcome hotel suggestions. The Newark Airport area would be okay especially if they have a shuttle to PATH. Thanks

No luck with the above strategy thereuare and SKid. I'm thinking of just purchasing at 64 dollars a night through Hotwire for Jan 1-3. Since I'm a new Hotwire user, I read about some coupon that will give me 10 dollars off for each night. Thereuare second to Jersey City, are there any hotels you can suggest in the area from which it would not be too much of a hassle to access a ferry or PATH into Manhattan? I'm thinking about that possiblity for 12/30-12/31. Thanks

Well hopefully, this is one of those times when we

Well, I tried splitting the dates with every conceivable combo going up to 43$ and nothing. It finally shut me out and I got this blurb: Unfortunately, we could not find a hotel willing to accept your price. For an excellent hotel deal, check out available hotels below from our partner - Lowestfare.com: So I guess now I've no choice but to wait 72. Travel Guy and thereuare thanks for the advice. I'll let you know what happens. I welcome any other suggestions you might have.

I'll wait it out and see if it opens up. Should I bid 37$ next time or up the offer. Please suggest what to try when I can re-bid. I appreciate your help.

Okay. PL has rejected my offer for 1/1-1/3 at 37$.

Thank you so much. One more question before I re-bid. My plane leaves on 1/4/04 at 7 am from JFK. I'm taking public transportation to JFK. My plan was to check into a hotel I found on Hotwire for 60$ at JFK, I'm assuming its Best Western for the night of 1/3 given my early flight. But I'm wondering if I should try and extend my bid at the Hyatt until 1/4 and explore my options for getting to JFK. Any advice?

So glad I found betterbidding.com! I was one click away from purchasing a room I would have regretted. I
