mama2miles Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 I just did an offer of $100 for 3/31-4/3 for a 5* Strip (the Venetian) through Priceline and was rejected. We would like to spend no more than $150 a night. Are we kidding ourselves? Do you have any suggestions?
thereuare Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 Based upon current rates i don't think you'll be successful.Are you utilizing your RE-BID ZONES? Have you considered SPLITTING YOUR BID?I don't think that any of the two will come in handy at this point given current prices, but they may help you as rates/inventory begin to change closer to your check-in date.

ucsf_med Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 You must be kidding, $100 at the venetian for a weekend? Good luck trying to get $100 for a weekday!
thereuare Posted March 3, 2005 Report Posted March 3, 2005 We've seen weekend acceptances at these prices in the past... but it's more the exception than the rule. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
mama2miles Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Posted March 3, 2005 Actually we got that Sun night (4/3) for $100 on priceline. Should we book a back up and try again closer to our arrival date? How close? Thanks so much!
thereuare Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Please start a new thread for the balance of your stay.Was the $100 your first bid in the zone? If not, what was the highest previously rejected bid? When was this bid accepted?I would book a back-up that you intend on staying at (not a "just in case" reservation) as rates are high enough at the moment that you're not going to be close at $150/nite.Keep an eye on prices at the Venetians website, looking for a drop in order to try this again.

TBQ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 There is a 12,000 delegate trade show at the Sands Expo Center (next to the Venetian) that runs from 3/30 to 4/01. The Venetian is the HQ hotel.
mama2miles Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Posted March 7, 2005 TBQ-Thank you for the information! We'll book somewhere else!
