Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip North) Palazzo

[bond316]

Hey so I was thinking of booking this 5* Las Vegas Strip - North area Hotel (through the betterbidding HOTWIRE link of course). But I wanted to ask what you guys thought the hotel was. My guess is The Palazzo.

Dates: Sept. 17 - 19

Amenities: Resort, Suite, Casino, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Hi-speed Internet

Total cost: $358.05

Also do you think the $20 trick would work at this hotel?

Thanks!

Hi everybody! I was thinking of either using PRICELINE or HOTWIRE (betterbidding links :) ) to book a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. The best deal i found for a 5* on Las Vegas Strip North through hotwire for $358.72 total.

Do you think I would be able to find a better deal (< $358.72) via priceline for the same dates and area? What should I start bidding at?

Thanks!

If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all " link on top of the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above?

This would be a possible match for the Venetian or Palazzo. Success with the "$20" trick may vary by hotel and who you talk to at check-in.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

PRICELINE is usually a little cheaper then HOTWIRE, so if you're flexible as far as which 5* hotel in the zone you get, then you can probably do a little better then the HOTWIRE rate.

What is the room rate (before taxes and fees thru HOTWIRE)... is your goal to just beat this price?

[bond316]

The zone I'm looking for is the Strip North. On HOTWIRE the price is:

Price summary

Hotel rate per night: $155.00

Nights: 2

Rooms: 1

Subtotal: $310.00

Tax recovery charges & fees: $48.05

Total price: $358.05

My goal is to get a 5* on the Strip North for as cheap as possible, PRICELINE or HOTWIRE. Thanks!

Okay thanks, I just heard its much harder to succeed at the Venetian...

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

After I do just one rebid I get this message:

Thank You for Naming Your Own Price – Unfortunately, we can't accept your offer. During our search, however, we did find special priceline rates available for your travel dates at the hotels shown below.

At that point I can not name my own price anymore. Is there a way to get around this?

[AaronJB]

If you click out of the browser, then click this PRICELINE link, can you bid again?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

[thereuare]

Using this PRICELINE link you should be able to bid again, but you'll need to use your re-bid zones and proceed with the strategy above where you left off... you won't be able to 'only' bid the Strip North zone, you'll need to add a re-bid zone to continue.

Let us know if you have any further problems.

Good luck.

Thanks for that link. So I bid $120 selecting Las Vegas Strip North and Summerlin and got this message:

Try Again Right Now

We searched hundreds of options to find your hotel room, however we can't accept your offer of $120 per room, per night. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number ###-###-###-##. If you are willing to raise your price by $30 to $150 per room, per night, you can try the same request again right now.

Normally you are required to change additional items (add zones, star level, or dates) in order to try your request again. However we are able to extend this one-time opportunity to you because of the zone, quality level and dates you requested.

What should I do at this point?

[thereuare]

It's basically telling you that the 'right' price is someplace between $120 and $150... i'd just continue with the strategy above, if ultimately rejected we'll revise to go the extra $10 more in the subsequent round of bidding.

So should I close my browser and start again from $123 or can I just enter $123 now? Thanks!
