StephenH Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 So, I'm looking for a 5* (Strip North) for 3 nights from 2/18-2/21. I need 4 rooms for our group. I tried bidding for 4 rooms starting at $95 and going up to $115, expecting to land a room at Palazzo, since the going rate had been around $100-$110. First question, has anybody else had any success on 5* hotels this weekend, either strip North or South? Secondly, if I'm looking for multiple rooms, I didn't see in any bidding suggestions what to do with multiple rooms. Am I more likely to have luck trying the rooms one at a time, or is my 4 rooms at once method normally a successful plan?I know it's President's Day weekend, but I can still get decent deals on other mid-level mid-strip hotels without having to bid, so I thought I might get lucky. Normally, I have seen the Strip North bids ending up with Palazzo, which is fine with me, and the Strip South ending up at Aria, which also seems like a decent place.I'm just looking for any advice that others might have for me to help me get a little luckier on my bidding.Thanks!

alexz1212 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 I have never done a multiple room purchase at one time, but I did it once in Downtown Orlando there were four different parties bidding separately. Some got really cheap rates like 43 bucks a night + Taxes at the Crowne Plaza and some went all the way up to $55. Let me know what you get, I will be bidding on the North End as well for the same exact weekend! Just waiting for friends to make up their minds.

StephenH Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 OK, last time I posted this, I didn't get any actual suggestions. I'm looking for multiple rooms (4 rooms) for 3 nights from 2/18-2/21. Does anybody have any actual experience in bidding for multiple rooms. Were you more successful in bidding for all rooms at once, or bidding one room at a time. I imagine that it is likely that the accepted price would likely go higher by the 3rd or 4th rooms when using the one room/bid approach, but I have had zero luck going for the 4 rooms at once. I started at $100 and have gone up all the way to $130 with no luck so far. I'm just wondering now if I shouldn't go to the single room per bid approach, knowing that it is possible that I could end up successfully bidding on only 2 or 3 out of my total 4 desired rooms? Also, I haven't found any posts for successful bids for that weekend, so I was hoping somebody that won a 5* north bid could share the "going rate". I know it depends on the weekend, and that I've seen successful bids for other weekends go down to $100/night, but I just can't seem to figure out how high I'd have to go for the 2/18-2/21 weekend.Thanks,Stephen
