icecanadian Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi there,Can anyone provide some help on bidding strategy for a 4* hotel on the strip, preferably south strip (but north strip is okay too).I saw the strategy for 5* with 11 re-bid zones, but what is the approach to getting a 4*?Since it is only 1 night, albeit a Saturday (April 23), I'm looking to pay about $80-90 max.Thanks,icecanadian Link to comment
icecanadian Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I couldn't identify this 4* Las Vegas Strip - South area Hotel with the following ameneties:Casino, Fitness Centre, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Centre, High-Speed Internet, Golf Nearby, Tennis NearbyMany of the identified ones have a Spa feature, but this one doesn't which makes me wonder what it is. The price was $95 for 1 night on April 23, 2011.I'm looking at booking if I can determine what hotel it is. I have posted separately on the Priceline side of the forum for 4* strategies for bidding for South Strip. Obviously, I would like to get a 4* for much cheaper with the bidding if possible.Thanks in advance,icecanadian Link to comment

thereuare Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Please keep all posts in the same thread since posts are for the same stay.2xPlease provide a follow-up for your prior old Las Vegas thread (post in that thread what you decided for that stay)...2xThen reply to this thread letting us know if the Westin, which is in PRICELINE's Strip South zone but not directly on the strip is an acceptable outcome. Also, are you willing to pay more to stay in the Strip South zone vs. the Strip North zone OR is the least expensive 4* or better in either zone what you're seeking for this stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

icecanadian Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thanks thereuare,I appreciate that you have to moderate the forum a certain way and I will definitely try to stick to the rules.I would prefer to stay on the strip, thus would rather avoid the Westin. I would be willing to pay equal dollars for either North or South strip. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I would prefer to stay on the strip, thus would rather avoid the Westin.Then you'll need to keep your bids for the Strip North only.At the 4* level 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 $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90Any 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.

Henderson? Summerlin?I am now okay with Las Vegas South, even it if means I get the Westin. Thanks for your help. Link to comment
icecanadian Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ended up booking with Expedia on this one. Sorry guys. Got Harrah's, 3.5* at $94, $106 total for a deluxe room for 1 night (2 upgrades from the classic room) April 23, 2011 . There was a 48 hour sale.Would have liked to use HOTWIRE or PRICELINE but couldn't justify their higher prices and the uncertainty. Thanks anyway for your help Thereuare. Link to comment
