Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip) Venetian

bluedog925 · March 23, 2005

Have been trying for the Venetian now for approx. a week. We already

have reservations at the new Wynn Resort. However, we think it

would be grand to have our bid of $99 accepted for these four nights.

Rates are running $169 per night for each night, including Fri. Perhaps

we're running into more trouble because there is a Friday night involved.

Bid up to $115. After the first $99 bid they countered with $130. Well,

Hotwire has Venetian right now for $138 and the other day it was $135.

Therefore, I feel there is plenty of availability.

Will keep trying every 72 hours.

:) Have been trying for this place for about a week and a half.

Started bidding at $99 then increased to $105, $110, $115, $117, and

the finally $118. The max I had bid on this before was $115.

Hotel's own site is showing $169 minimum at that time. I feel very pleased

with this amount and will now cancel my reservation at Wynn which was

$199 for the first 3 nights and $279 for the fourth night. OUCH. :)

Glad you have been able to lock-in this hotel for your July trip!

Thanks for sharing it with the board.

Have a great time in Vegas.

Hi,

I'm updating you. I already posted a separate topic a couple days ago.

I eventually got the Venetian for $118 a night, but this does include a

Friday night stay. I figure that I'm paying roughtly $175 for the friday

night and $99 for the preceding three nights ....

It was a little trickier than I thought with that Friday night in there.

I tried approx. 4 different times over a 12-day period to secure this.

The counteroffer was always $130 but I thought I could do better. :) :) :) :o
