ykh Posted May 29, 2005 Report Posted May 29, 2005 Hi! I'm looking for deals on hotel(1 room) from 7/15-7/19. I'm willing to stay at different hotel for the weekends and for the weekdays. I've already booked the flight so only look for hotel. 4 * or better hotel on the strip will be nice and I would like to spend less than $100/nite if possible.Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.
thenewbie Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Since you're willing to split your stay, you should be able to get the 5* Venetian for $99 per night for 7/17-7/19 on Priceline.Your first two nights, 7/15-7/17, will be more expensive so keeping it under your limit of $100 may be difficult to acheive at the 4* level. Others here may find a solution, but I couldn't find one doing a quick rate search.
thereuare Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Use or Las Vegas Rate Checker to an overview of rates for the remaining nites.This PRICELINE LAS VEGAS thread discusses the same dates as you are looking for (although the other user, against recommendation, does not want to split their stay which makes their bid a bit more difficult)If you need a specific bidding strategy for the last two nites just let us know.

ykh Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Posted May 30, 2005 Thanks for your suggestions! what specific strategy should I use if I want to get venetian for $99/nite for the weekdays?
thereuare Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 You have plenty of re-bid zones in this area...Select 5* Strip...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $99, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $102.The above doesn't use nearly all of yoru re-bid zones but if the above is rejected let us know and we'll expand further. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read PRICELINE RE-BIDDING and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones.Let us know how the above goes.

ykh Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Posted May 30, 2005 This is what I plan to do for 7/17 to 7/19, please correct me if it's incorrect:1st try:Strip Zone, 5* luxury, @$902nd try:Add zone: west of strip, @$953rd try:Add zone: fremont st, @$994th try:Add zone: covention center, @$102Does any of the rebid zone contains resort? I don't think so.Another question, can I start another bid on a 4* on the strip for 7/15 to 7/17? I know it's unlikely that I will get <$100/nite but would like to give it a try.Thanks!
thereuare Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Yes, the zones you mention above will be fine for your 5* bidding, but remember to re-check your re-bid zones when looking at 4* bidding.Try the above for 5* and then start a new thread for your 4* dates since (in all likelihood) you'll get a different hotel; having separate threads will enable us to keep the same format throughout the board of putting each hotel's name in the topic title.

ykh Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Posted May 30, 2005 thereuare, thanks for your help. I've started another new thread for 4* hotel.
thereuare Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Did you try for the 5* yet? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases

ykh Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 thereuare,Can I know my room # and which tower I will be staying at Venetian if I call them? I guess by bidding thru priceline.com, I can't choose the room that I want.Thanks.
bbbb Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Don't worry you will have a nice view of the roof like the rest of us PL winners. :) Some people have gotten nice upgrades here at no charge on slow nights. I have always stayed on Fri or Sat and never seen anything but the roof from my room.
ykh Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 I see.....I guess I might have the luck to see spidy jumping from one roof to another :)
todd-r Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Don't worry you will have a nice view of the roof like the rest of us PL winners. I believe that's called a "Mountain View" room :)
