bartmanz Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Hi all,this site is great! got all my deals in previous years and i'm looking to bid again.was wondering what the going rates will be like for 5* during these dates? not looking for specific hotels, but want to get a nice one for two people. cheers!
thereuare Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 I'm guessing a ballpark of ~$120 or so. If you let us know your maximum bid for this stay, and if you're looking to bid both the North Strip and South Strip zones, or just one of them, we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

bartmanz Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Posted October 18, 2010 thanks for the reply. $120 doesn't sound too bad. I'm looking to spend around 120, 130 for a night as well. What's a good strategy for it?thanks!
tilepusher Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 I noticed two days ago that 5* bidding is no longer available in the South Strip zone; TheHotel at Mandalay Bay has been downgraded to 4*.

MurtleCake Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 You know what? I'm going at that time, and I go that week every year. and I have always found good deals directly through the hotel. They run a lot of deals the week of xmas.We are staying at THEHotel at Mandalay Bay, we booked this offer, it's pretty good.. almost what you were bidding works out to about $130 a night.https://reservations.mgmmirage.com/bookinge...&code=PZPRO We go to Vegas about 4 times a year and this is by far our favorite room. They are huge!! 2 bathrooms, It's so nice and relaxing. This is the only time a year we can find a good deal there.
bartmanz Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Posted September 8, 2014 This is to close off this thread. I apologize for leaving this open. We have decided to go with Bellagio, which is not part of priceline or hotwire due to personal reasons. Thank you for the help.
