Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip South) THEhotel

[BeritOlam]

The wife and I decided to do a last-minute trip to Vegas for our 3rd anniversary. We wanted a hotel that afforded us nice relaxation options with an infant tagging along...and there's no better hotel in Vegas for 'kids' than Mandalay Bay.

Started off clicking on the PRICELINE link....then began the bidding at a ridiculous $80/night. :) Offer rejected...but a counter offer was given of $107. Pretty decent -- a $1/night savings vs. the HOTWIRE rate. But I was not ready to give up getting a lower rate!!

So I upped my starting bid to $90/night. Still rejected. No counter offer this time, so I upped it to $95/night. Rejection!! But I was still not ready to throw in the towel!

So I entered $100.....and accepted!!

Wooo HOOOO!!!! Mandalay Beach....here we come! :o

Thanks as always to BB -- which must rank as the best website I love that still has that good ole' 2002 bulletin-board feel!!! :)

A quick followup...

Great hotel if you want some seclusion away from the casino hustle!!! :)

Also, FYI, while hotel is technically South Strip....Priceline lists is as "South Strip Vacinity"! Not sure who I edited my post. But people bidding might want to know that, as it made me do a few double-takes, just to make sure I was bidding in the right area!
