Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip South) Vdara

[mishy]

I booked the Vdara for $112/nt from 5/5/11-5/9/11 (Thursday-Monday) through PRICELINE.

I booked today (Saturday, 3/19/11) and started bidding at $80, increasing my bids by $5 (until I got to $105, then did $108, then $112) by adding different zones. At $90, I had both North & South strip included in my search

Summary of costs:

Room: $112/nt x 4 nights = $448.00

Taxes & Fees: $69.48

Total Charges*: $517.48

Thanks, betterbidding!!

For future reference, is there an ideal time to book hotels (e.g., barring any big events, 6 weeks out, more, less)? Does day/time of booking matter (I know flights tend to be less expensive Tues-Thurs)? I am pretty new to this site, so I'm guessing these questions are answered elsewhere - if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

ETA: I think I just found the FAQ section. I'm off to look for answers to my questions there. :)
