Hotwire Hotel: 4* Las Vegas (Strip South) NYNY

[x-tina]

Hi,

I am planning a trip with my sister who has never been to Vegas. Her dates are 5/27-6/1. So far I have bid up and been rejected at $125 for a 5* North for all 5 days. I am not surprised as this is a holiday weekend. Hotwire has the Venetian for $172 for those dates. Expedia also has the Trump for $125 for those dates.

I am willing to split the days into 2 hotels. Possibly I could get one of the PL 5* North for Sunday & Monday (5/30 & 5/31) and get a 3.5*+ for the other three days. I want to make sure we stay in a 5* for at least part of the time and the other hotel I would like to be one of the Vegasy hotels such as NYNY, Paris, Luxor, MGM, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I work on this!

What is your budget? (both for all 5 nites as well as for each leg of your stay if you choose to SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID)

Is there a reason you're only focussing on the North Strip zone... is the South Strip not acceptable?

I ended up splitting the dates and using Hotwire.

I wanted to share my unsuccessful attempts for future bidders.

For the dates of 5/27-6/1, 5* North I bid up to $140, in $2 increments. (Today, Hotwire had Venetian for those dates for $156.)

For the dates of 5/30-6/1, 5* North I bid up to $87 in $2 increments. I decided to get the Venetian for $99 for those dates from Hotwire because I could guarantee the hotel choice.

I will share my wins on the hotwire forum.
