The New Orleans thread has been updated.

Update The New Orleans trip proved to be too expensive, thus cancelled. I travelled to NYC without the use of PRICELINE.

Hello I would like help bidding on a 4* Denver (Downtown) hotel, between October 15 until October 18. I'd like to spend less than $100 a night. Idealistically, for the previous winning $55 a night bids on this site. Thanks in advance!

I think these locations will replace this trip. I'll be posting at those respective forums.Idealistically, my goal is to snag an inexpensive 4* on the Vegas Strip 7/2 to 7/5, then snag an inexpensive 3* to 4* in LA (Westwood,Santa Monica,Marina Del Rey) June 29 to July 2; renting a car in LA and dropping it off in Vegas.

So far, I haven't had any luck with my bids. I went up to $155 with 4* hotels and $125 with 3* hotels.I haven't given up. I think I might try again later, but right now, I think I'm going to try to make a Las Vegas and Los Angeles trip a reality. The listed rates for those locales seem reasonable.

Sorry, I guess I didn't quite make myself clear. I meant to say, I'm hoping to max out at $125 because I figure taxes to bring the total to at least $600 (4x$125)+$100. I'd like to keep it to $650 or so. I'm figuring, you'd suggest to start at $100 for 4*, $105 for 3.5*, and $85 for 3* and increase each bid by $5. The re-bidding zone concept is somewhat confusing to me and scares me. I will read & study the link provided and start the bidding tonight, using your PRICELINE links of course. Thanks a million for your time, patience, and consideration!

The gameplan order you've outlined sounds great to me. My maximum budget is a flexible $125, taking in account taxes will be $100+.

I believe you are correct. I'm looking to attend the Essence Music Festival and I'm pretty certain hotels are booking now. I really just need a clean, safe, quality place to rest my head, close to the action. I wouldn't anticipate spending all that much time in the room. If the above criteria is met, I'd prefer going from 4* to 3* in the French Quarter, then 4* to 3* Downtown. I'm trying to make a move now,so in case things don't work out, I can make alternative plans. Much thanks.

Thanks for the welcome! I have been to New Orleans only once. I stayed at the Hilton Riverside, which I enjoyed. I'd like to be a little closer to the center of the action this time, if possible, without sacrificing quality or breaking the bank. With that said, I"m willing to pay more to be in a 4* French Quarter hotel, but I have no qualms with a nice 3.5* or 3* Downtown hotel. I know this is a big weekend in New Orleans, staying within or close to my budget is the main goal. Thanks again.

Hello! I am seeking advice on bidding on a room in New Orleans July 1, 2010 until July 5, 2010. I'm hoping to get something in the $125 or less range. My zone of preference is the French Quarter, second would be Downtown. My star rating of preference is 4, second would be 3.5 or possibly 3. Thanks in advance.
