Thanks for all the great input. Now, does anyone have any suggestions on how to ensure the Flamingo (4/28-5/3) and for a great deal? Thank you, in advance. This site has been a wealth of information!

Thank you SO much for your input about TI. I'm in a wedding at the Venetian and we're trying to stay near it without paying the high price of the V. Some of my family members are staying at TI, which is why I was inquiring. Otherwise, I'd look towards the South end as it seems there are more, less expensive, options for families. Based on what I just shared, would the Flamingo still be a good choice if I am most interested in close location to Venetian, lower rate, great pool for kids (ages: 5 and 9)?

Hello Again, I just posted a question about ensuring the Flamingo in Vegas, but I am wondering if Treasure Island would be more suitable since we are taking our kids? We were just attracted to the pool at Flamingo, but TI may be a better option. Anyway, this site has been a wealth of information and I was hoping someone could suggest how to ensure getting the Treasure Island either thru 'Name your bid' Priceline (which, after reading doesn't sound possible, as they will most likely select the Westin for us) or through Hotwire. Thank you, in advance...

Going to Vegas in May and trying to ensure getting The Flamingo. I thought (by doing my homework) I could ensure my hotel through the 'name your own bid' route on Priceline by selecting 3.5 stars in the North srtip only (as this is THE only 3.5 star in that area listed on Priceline). BUT, then I am hesitant to bid because I recieve this message, in red, on the bidding page: >>Please note: The hotel we find may or may not be one that you saw on the previous page(s).>> Is this true?? The only 3.5 star on the strip through Priceline lists The Flamingo and Monte Carlo, but since Monte Carlo isn't in the North strip area, I was thinking it'd be a sure bet to get The Flamingo. Again, is the warning true??? Is there a chance Priceline would accept my bid and place us at a hotel not listed on their hotel options? Thanks, in advance, so much for your help with this...
