t4ng Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi all, i am brand brand new to bidding on priceline and im brand new to this website and im so thankful to find this site!!i am hoping for cosmopolitan hotel out of the three possible 5* hotels on the south strip but vdara and aria are acceptable too! i really dont know if this is possible...but has anyone figured out how to distinguish the cosmopolitan from the others? is there a certain price point i should start at? has anybody won cosmopolitan hotel for possible advice and tips?? i see a lot of vdara wins, which i might consider for the week we're going for (6/8-6/12)thank you so much!

AaronJB Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)Not all properties on the retail side of PRICELINE participate on the bidding side of PRICELINE. In the case of the Cosmopolitan, there have not yet been any reported wins for that property. Additionally, there is no way to ensure a particular property when bidding - if you bid for 5* South Strip, for example, you have to be willing to accept any 5* in that area.What would be your desired max budget per night?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

t4ng Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 anything less than 180, which is what we're willing to pay for a hotel from the hotel website. I know theres no way to guarantee cosmopolitan, but i was just wondering if there was anyone who acutally won it! :) thanks for your help though! ill just do the 5* south strip! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 At the 5* level you have ELEVEN 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 5* South Strip...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135If the above is rejected then you can go to HOTWIRE where the 5* Strip South property there is offered for $138/nite.Any 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.

t4ng Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 We were originally going to book it 6/8-6/11 but we got our bid up to $100, after doing the priceline trick 5 times( adding different zones and keeping with our 5*), and figured maybe itd be better to book the first two days at a 5* and the last friday/saturday night at a 4*so we ended up getting it for $80 for 6/8-6/10 for vdara! pretty excited even though i initially wanted cosmopolitan! :)thanks better bidding. com will update more on what i get for the rest of the weekend!

t4ng Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 and i just realized i didnt write the title of the post in the same fashion as the others. i should have wrote "5* Las VEgas (strip south) Vdara" with a second line saying it was $80 for 6/8-6/10....SORRRY.... *nooob. sorry!trying to figure out how to change that .. . .. ...
