Priceline Hotel: Need help for 4/10-4/12, Want to book by Friday

[LARL43]

Have stayed at Rio before and was very happy with that hotel. Never stayed at Venetian, but I hear it's nice. It's a special occassion so I would like a suite. I want to keep it under $100/night as I'm working on a budget. The Venetian is going for $149 on their website, and the Rio for a $115 avg for those dates on their website. I've seen people win the Venetian for $99, but no lower.

What are the chances of getting the Venetian for $99 or less?

What is a realistic bid for the Rio?

Also, what's a realistic bid for a 4-star on the strip?

Thanks!

I would start with your 5* option as it will likely reprsent your best value. As well, if it's a special occaision it comes with a bit of 'prestige' factor.

You have plenty of re-bid opportunities and i would start as follows:

Select 5* Strip...

Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone and...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone and...

Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone and...

Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone and...

Bid $99, if rejected report back.

Let us know how it goes.

I'm new to this board, but have been on others for a while.

I've never seen the Venetian go for less than $99/night. That being said, your dates are part of their suite special $149 rate, so you should be successful at $99/night for your dates.
