Priceline Hotel: 4* Las Vegas (Convention Center) Renaissance

[timn85]

for 5/5/07 - 5/6/07

I've started bidding since last week and no luck at all.

I am trying to win the MGM Grand (4*...but after reading through here, I don't mind the Westin at all...)

5/5/07 is Cinco De Mayo so hotel rates thus far from Hotwire and other travel sites are ridiculously high.

I've started bidding at $115, re-bidded at $130 (added zones w/o 4*) and still no luck.

Please help! Budget is $115-$130...is this feasible?

thanks!

De La Hoya / Mayweather fight is that weekend also (AND it's at the MGM) - just another reason rates are higher. I doubt you can be successful for MGM for anything very affordable. With that huge of an event going on, they'll probably sell out at rack rates. Not sure about the Westin.

please post a follow up to your Crystal City topic

hi dahammer,

I ended up not using priceline, since I was traveling with a group of people (my class), we all had to stay together at a hotel they had already selected :)

i paid a lot more than i should have!!

Then you should at that information to your other thread so that future readers know that you never attempted anything rather than unsuccessfully tried but failed.

hm yeah if the fight is going to be at the MGM, im sure it's going to be tough to get a room there...but regardless, I just want something nice and not overpay like last time (The Riviera $149/night!)

I just noticed that the Westin is going for $205 on priceline...is it safe to say that if I bet $100-110 on a *4, I should be able to get the westin??

No.

You may have the odds in your favour, but it's not a safe bet.

well after bidding on priceline for about 1 week (on strip only) i decided to zone out bid, and was successful...
