Skunkworks Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Not sure if this info helps but, I just bid LV Strip North $135,$145,$155,$166,$170 and no dice... Looking to get Palazzo hopefully... Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Rates are on the high side for these dates, with the "known" 5*'s in the North Trip running between $310-425. What would be your desired budget per night? I'd continue higher by $5's, but this could definitely require heading up to the $200 level, and possibly a bit higher.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Skunkworks Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Didn't really have a max budget.. Not sure yet. Depends on the value. $1500 for Mirage isn't worth it. $1500 for V/P might be...I wonder if the prices might drop as we get closer..? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Unfortunately, there's no way to know if the rates will drop, stay flat or go up closer to your dates, although all three are possibilities (and there are less examples of rates falling as the dates get closer than there were 2-3 years ago.) See the discussion in the FAQ for more detail.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment

thereuare Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 HOTWIRE has a 5* hotel in the Strip South zone for $175/nite with:Resort, Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, BusinessMy best guess is that this is the Aria... would this work fro your needs?PLEASE use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Skunkworks Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 That may work, I have only researched priceline bidding on here... It looks like currently only 2 hotels have been named on the hotwire list of 5* LVS South.. Aria and Vadara.. is this correct? I know things can charge at any time but the PRICELINE system seems pretty fool proof, except for the winning part!Looks like the price might have change to $174...? is this the same one you were looking at?So if the list WERE correct and only two 5* hotels were available one with a casino and one with out. HOTWIRE is showing one with, so that would mean it would have to be Aria... IF the only two choices were Vdara and Aria as the list says...? :) ? yeah? Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 It's common for HOTWIRE rates to fluctuate a few dollars from one search to the next.My guess above was not based upon the fact that the hotel offered has a casino, it's based upon the fact that the exact amenity set of the current HOTWIRE offering matches previous reports for the Aria, so yes, that would be our best guess as to the most likely outcome. It's the same conclusion that you have made, but i don't want you to going forward think that you should base your guesses upon the inclusion/exclusion of one amenity icon... think of it as pieces of a puzzle, the more pieces you have that 'fit', the clearer the picture becomes.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

smartcookie Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 There's a conference at the Wynn. I always the PRICELINE and [url="http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=33"]HOTWIRE[/url] links from this board for my purchase! Link to comment
Skunkworks Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm not in too rough of a shape. I do have a Mirage room booked for 7 nights at $150 a night so my backup is at a fantastic price.. But I really was looking forward to a room with two TVs or areas like V/P so we can be apart a bit.... Link to comment
smartcookie Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Vdara is $172 normally via many sites (see Kayak.com). Palms Place is $84. Luxor and MGM $114 and $119.
