rdd Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 Hi, I have been using the BB PRICELINE to bid for a stay on the Strip (North or South) but so far have been unsuccessful. Can you please help me assess the likely price point range for a stay 9/10-9/12 (check in Friday and check out Sunday) in a 4* hotel. So far my unsuccessful bids on PRICELINE have been the following:5* Strip North up to $994* Strip North or South up to $79Thanks for your help!
Mahesh Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 You can use free-rebids.. which means that if you are bidding for 5* and it got unsuccessful, you can select other zones that do not have 5* and increase your bid. I would also look for Hotwire for options..
rdd Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks. Just to clarify, the two bids I mentioned above are the max bids that I was willing to make after taking advantage of re-bidding options. My issue is not rebidding but creating pricing transparency to understand better at what price to bid. Thanks
AaronJB Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 Based upon the rates I'm seeing, I think you're probably looking at between $120-135 for a 5* in the North Strip.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted August 27, 2010 Report Posted August 27, 2010 Under $100 for weekend nites at a 5* hotel on the strip is not something that would typically be enough (your 4* bid may not be realistic either)At the 4* level is the Westin an acceptable outcome? It's in PRICELINE's strip zone but located slightly off the strip.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

rdd Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Posted September 3, 2010 Thanks all for the input. I ended up opting for a 5* hotel because I was afraid of getting certain 4* on the strip. After using BB's PRICELINE link, I managed to get the 5* Palazzo (Strip North) for $130 for a 9/10/12-9/12/10 stay. I started my bidding at 100 and increased by $5 increments. At $120, PRICELINE offered me to increase my bid to $150 and obtain what I wanted so I knew I was close to the winning price point. Keep this forum going! rdd
