Finally.... Didnt want to risk splitting the bid. So, I've been bidding quite regularly on Priceline. They rejected bids of $99, $125, $130, $135 and $140....all with the option to "buy it now" for $163. A 5* on Hotwire (presumed to be the Venetian) has continuously been coming up at $161. So today, I bid $150 and it was accepted. I feel I did well as the Venetian's website rate is $199 for those dates & Hotwire is $161. We used our dividend miles for 2 free first class non-stop plane tickets, too! Our first trip to Vegas. Love this site............ KK
