KAOrae16 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hey y'all!I'm looking to book a mini-vaca to Vegas July 1-4th. I would prefer to stay on the strip in a nicer hotel (4 or 5 star). Any recommendations? I have stayed in Vegas before... at NY NY, Bellagio and Rio. Would love to be around the Bellagio area... but I'm looking to get as cheap as I can!(I'm a dreamer, right?) :) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment
mac11 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm new to this as well so I won't try to give any advise - it may just turn out to be crap. But I did read this guys thread yesterday and he seemed to do pretty well for himself for the same 4th of July weekend.Hotwire Las Vegasgood luck. I'm going later in the year so i'll be interested to hear how you do.Never stayed at any of the places you mentioned. How would you rate them?thanks Mac Link to comment
KAOrae16 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 We went last August and had 1 free nights stay at the Bellagio and 3 free nights stay at Rio. We stayed at Rio after Bellagio... which was a mistake!Bellagio was A-MA-ZING. The pool was absolutely fantastic... gorgeous rooms... great food... I loved it! Don't get me wrong.... Rio was nice. Delicious seafood buffet... a MUST DO! But, it was quite a bum to have to wait for the shuttle to take you back and forth to the strip. The pool was crowded with children... very different feel than the Bellagio. NY NY was a nice medium between the Rio and Bellagio. That was where I first stayed in Vegas and it was a winner. Great theatrical designs inside the hotel. Delicious food... decent room (you really don't stay there that much) and a great price.Thanks for the link also! Link to comment
mac11 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Everybody says that. And I'm in a hotel less than most people....Maybe I don't need a room, just a car.Thanks for the rundown on the places. Link to comment

KAOrae16 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I need help bidding for a hotel. I would like to get a 4 star hotel (on the strip) for around $80 a night. I don't know if this is even possible. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Is something like the Westin, which is within PRICELINE's strip zone but slightly off the strip, acceptable?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

KAOrae16 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes! I think that would be a great fit for us... do you think that would be in our budget? How do we go about making sure we get "that one"... if that's even possible? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 You can't choose a specific property, i was asking the above as that is often the property that users often want to avoid (given the off-strip location and lackluster reviews)... but if you're willing to accept this property then you're at least able to bid the Strip South zone... whereas those looking to avoid this property are restricted to just the Strip North zone.At the 4* level in Las Vegas you have FOUR re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Strip North...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Strip South...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* Strip North and Strip South...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
