meggieprice Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 No we did not use Priceline or Hotwire- family booked the Westin back when I first inquired here and the MGM was through a special offer they e-mailed to me. Now that we want an extra night I am asking for a bidding strategy. I did post my bids for Los Angeles and San Diego on earlier trips. If I do Priceline I will both click from here and post my bid.It is just for the one extra night and we wold like to stay somewhere really nice.
thereuare Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 family booked the Westin back when I first inquired herePlease let your family know of this site and our support pageand the MGM was through a special offer they e-mailed to meThese can almost always be booked via our affiliate link if you let know we can show you how. I am asking for a bidding strategyWhat is your minimum star rating and maximum bid for this nite? Which zone(s) are you willing to accept?Thanks in advance for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

meggieprice Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 I will let them know- in fact I posted your site at both a wedding photographers site and a another site I frequent a lot. Do you mean if I get an e-mail from the hotel where I need to click on their offer I can somehow get that through this site also? Our minimum star rating is five stars, our maximum rate is $150.00, and we want North or South strip only. Thanks!Is the Wynn ever a result on Priceline? It looks like Hotwire gives you the Wynn quite often...Also, we do not want to stay at Trump- how do we avoid that?Thanks again!
thereuare Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Yes, we can get credit for just about any online MGM Grand online purchase (even if emailed to you)Also, we do not want to stay at Trump- how do we avoid that?Only way is to use HOTWIRE and purchase something with a casino icon (since the Trump doesn't have a casino you can be assured that this won't be the hotel you're purchasing)HOTWIRE has a 5* in the Central Strip zone for $119/nite with:CasinoFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa Services...which is a match for the Venetian and under your $150 budget. Would this work for your needs?Let us know your thougths and how you'd like to proceed (or how it goes if you take the above) and we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

meggieprice Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 The Venetian is even better- we wold love to stay there. I am waiting for a friend who is the chef at the Hilton to let us know if he has access to any comps but then I will definitely use HOTWIRE for that and will post for sure.Since he lives and works in Vegas I also asked him about the $20 tip trick to see what his take is- will let you know.
