Priceline Hotel: 4* Las Vegas (Strip South) Luxor

[chevygiirl]

I bidded on Priceline starting at $70 for five stars in the north vicinity, failed. They then told me to up the bid by $18 or try a different area. I chose to try for a different area, the south vicinity at 4 stars. Bidding at $80 flat, got accepted for the Luxor. I saved $64 not much but it's something.

Here's the total cost through priceline:

Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $80.00

Subtotal: $320.00

Taxes & Fees: $51.68

Welcome to BetterBidding and congratulations on your success!

Thank you for sharing your result with the board!

Las Vegas isn't allways the best place if you're looking for a bargin.

But we hope you'll get a nice stay at Luxor.

Please use the site's HOTWIRE and PRICELINE links to start future purchases.

PS. You did the bidding backwards. Please read this link: If you lower your star rating then lower your price. Feel free to ask for help next time.

Try your best to get an upgrade....as the rooms in the Pyramid are not great. Certainly not worth $80, IMHO. You're better off paying a little more to get into some nicer rooms.
