platonium Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Have tried numerous times on priceline for a 1 night stay North Strip, 5 Stars on 6/12-6/13, but am having no luck. Is the 1 night thing PRICELINE doom?Thanks so much.Best,PlatoniumP.S. Of course, I am using the PRICELINE link from this site even though I have yet to succeed. :) Link to comment
BeritOlam Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 When I checked Mandalay's own website for rates, there were a couple weekends in June/July that were noted as being super expensive beyond the typical weekend rate AND there was a notation that the Sat-Sun night was unavailable for just one night reservation (i.e. you need to book 2 or more nights, I think).I can't remember which weekends they were....but that might explain why you can't get it.If you're not super picky about where you stay and willing to chance it, some of these rooms might become available at the last minute (within 24-48 hrs ahead of time).

platonium Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thank you for the response. That would explain why some people are getting $85/night on that weekend with a minimum 2 night stay. Link to comment

platonium Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Life's been so crazy, haven't had a chance to follow up. I've been bidding North Strip only, but I'm really a Vegas noob and open to anything. I'd like to keep it under $125. Thank you so much. Really coming down to the wire. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 If you're open to a 5* in both North Strip and South Strip (don't bid the North Strip Vicinity if you're trying to avoid the Trump)...At the 5* level you have ELEVEN re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 5* North Strip and South Strip...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125My guess is that the above will likely fall a bit short for this Saturday nite, but give it a shot and we'll take it from there.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
