I listed two people.

I totally messed up this post! It was the "SeaWorld - I-drive South" area.

:) I won a 2 Bedroom/2 Bath suite at the Vista Cay by Millenium for $119 per night. Amenities: Resort 2-Bedroom Suite Fully-equipped Kitchen Free Parking In-Room Laundry Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center Front Desk High-speed Internet Access Golf Nearby From my understanding for 5 nights or less there is a $75 clean up fee + a $5.00 a night maintenance fee. Still better than the $229+ a night we were going to pay for Hilton I-Drive. Forgot to go through the site. I will contribute via paypal. :)

Thank you! I will keep you all informed of what happens. :)

Hey all! I made a HUGE mistake. I have my hotel reservations for the Venetian on the 8 and 9th of April. I arrive in Vegas on April 7 (doh!). I don't have a reservation :) for that evening. I wanted to stay at the Venetian and was interested in doing a Double The Difference with Hotwire. I searched the website, but I didn't see anything on it. Can someone point me in the direction of the rules and procedures? Also, any other suggestions with things that I could do to make my Venetian stay more affordable. $300 is my maximum price. Thanks in advance! Mick

I booked the Aladdin through Westin.com (4/28 - 5/1). The going rate on Aladdin.com is $239/nite or 199 on hotwire.com . I got a refundable rate of $159 for 4/28 and $169 per night for the remaining days. It is fully refundable if I decide to bid (which I will probably do). If you are a Starwoods rewards member, you could probably use your points for this hotel. :) Another good thing...You can always 'double the difference' with Hotwire. Good luck! Micki

I did Sunday night separately from Friday and Saturday. Tonight I will try to do every night separately. :)

I was unsuccessful at winning for either hotel. I made reservations at the Aladdin through Westin.com . There is currently a promotion where the rooms are $159 per night. I guaranteed with my credit card, but I can cancel before 4/27 with no penalty. My boyfriend thinks this is a good rate. I feel that I can find better. I will keep you all updated.

Magnificent Mile - Wacker Drive (Downtown Areas) - See map Customer Favorite! Read reviews Selected amenities include: Restaurant(s), Fitness Center, Business Center. View complete amenity list and description This is the Hyatt Regency located on Wacker Drive.

I was trying to bid on Priceline for that same weekend. I always stay at the Hyatt Chicago for around $50 a night. I am not sure what is going on that weekend. I decided to forget the bidding and Hotwire the deal. It is the $60/night deal.

Actually, it is the Chicago Hyatt Regency. I Hotwired it last week and got it.

I have made two bids for 4/22 - 4/25. Bid #1 - Las Vegas Strip - 99 Bid #2 - Las Vegas Strip, UNLV - 105 I have four more bids remaining. I have read that you shouldn't bid in the resort zones. So, I didn't do Henderson or Northwest. I have not started bidding for the weekend of the 4/29 - 5/2.

Can anyone recommend a bidding strategy? I would like to spend no more than $550 for the three nights (not including taxes). Thanks in advance!

I had to figure out what "splitting the bid" is. lol There is so much to learn. I would be interested in doing in splitting the bid. I think that I could get the Sunday night for $99. I will need to rework the budget and figure out my zones. I am going to start rebidding this afternoon. I will be back later to share the results. :)

Hi all! I have been lurking for MONTHS. But this is my first post (be kind to me :) ). I am trying to get a five star hotel (preferably the Venetian) the weekends of April 22 - 25 OR April 29 - 5/2. I will accept either weekend provided that the price is right. My boyfriend thinks that I can't do it for my budget of $175 per night. I am not sure how to "work" the free rebids. Can someone please help me with this? I have NEVER done this before and understand the concept (opening/closing the browser and searching for zones with no five stars). But I am TOTALLY petrified that it something will go horribly wrong :) . The current prices for the weekend of the 4/22 are: FRI SAT SUN Expedia NOT AVAILABLE??? Travelocity $400.01/$220.01/$169.42 AVG- $263.15 Venetian.com $399.00/$219.00/$149.00 AVG- $255.66 The current prices for the weekend of the 4/29 are: Expedia NOT AVAILABLE???? Travelocity $300.01/$349.42/$169.42 AVG- $272.95 Venetian.com $299.00/$349.00/$149.00 AVG- $265.66 Another question...Does anyone have any information on the Hard Rock Hotel? Is it impossible to get a room there???? Every weekend is not accepting any bids. Thanks in advance! Micki
