Priceline Hotel: Newbie Requesting Help!

[VetStudent12]

Hello there people far wiser than I-

I'm one of those people who is very organized about traveling and likes to have everything planned out to the last detail. However, I'm planning a trip from Dec 20-24, 2010 to Las Vegas and I find that I really don't have a strong preference of where to stay on the strip. I've been at the Luxor and Mandalay Bay and enjoyed them both, but as I'm planning a surprise trip for a friend I'm curious to try the "name your own price" feature as I am a poor student. I think I would really be happy with any of the 4-starish properties in the area (NYNY, Luxor, PH, etc) but I would love to stay in the MGM Grand if possible. Any tips on how to go about this/what to bid? I could already get a room at Paris for $52/night, Luxor for $43/night, and NYNY for $43/night on Orbitz if that gives you any indications. Also...any idea of a worst case scenario?

Thanks so much!!! :)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Historically this should be a relatively slow time in Vegas, but what is your maximum bid per nite for this stay?
