lc8889 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Hi all,I'm looking for a one-night stay in LV on 4/16 (a Saturday) and as a backup have booked a cancellable room at Paris for $199. What's the likelihood that I can do better with a 5* through Priceline for this date? Also, it is known that if you win a 5* bid in LV Strip area, it's most likely the Venetian. Is there a strategy for winning a 4* like the Aladdin, NY, TI or Paris, and not the Westin which is not physically on the strip?My max bid for the 5* is $175, 4* is $150.Here are some rates from hotel websites or Expedia for that day: Venetian $399; Bellagio $399; Harrah's $350; Monte Carlo $319; Mirage $299; Caesars $280; Aladdin $259; Boardwalk $250; Treasure Island $249; Flamingo $230; Hilton $219; Paris $199; Luxor $189; Excalibur $170; NY NY No Vacancy; Mandalay Bay No VacancyThanks all.

thereuare Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!How long ago did you book the Paris at $199? Relative to the other prices i think that is a very good deal for that property. As well, it's currenlty sold-out for this nite.Based upon the current prices you're currently seeing, i dont' think you'll be successful at a 5* at $200 or a 4* at $150 unless you see rates drop, which may happen as you get closer to your check-in date.
