Hotwire Hotel: Vegas hotel on Hotwire/ wynn

[Kaia]

HI,

I have never used hotwire but have been using the board and am finding it helpful. The dates of my travel will be October 19-23. I am looking for the Wynn or Encore specifically but other 5 diamond resorts in the north Strip area will be fine.

On hotwire they are offering "LAs Vegas Strip- North Area Five Star for $ 137

amenities include:Spa Services

Guests have access to a spa facility or spa services; an extra charge typically applies.

Resort

Depending on location, recreational activities may include water sports, golf, tennis or skiing. Coastal resorts usually boast ocean views or beachfront access. Note: A resort fee may be charged.

Guest rooms at this hotel are always smoke-free.

Guests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.

Pool(s)

Property offers at least one pool area; hours and dates of operation may be seasonal.

High-Speed Internet Access

Can anyone help me get an idea of which hotel this might be??

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

This would likely be a match for the Trump.

Unfortunately, these properties do not appear to have any HOTWIRE inventory for these dates - at least at this point. They may decide to offer discounted inventory at a later date for this period (there's no way to know for sure.)

You can try using PRICELINE in an attempt to see if PRICELINE has any inventory, but that would likely require a higher - and possibly quite a bit higher - bid than the HOTWIRE Trump listing price. What would be your desired budget per night?

One or two of the 5*'s in the North Strip area are noticeably cheaper for the first two nights than the second two nights, but unfortunately when looking at the first two nights, the Trump is still the only HOTWIRE 5* in the North Strip.

This may seem like a silly question but I am figuring out the whole bidding process. If i were to use Priceline and bid around $200.00 for a five Star North Strip Resort ( which is over what the trump is priced as on both sites) do you think i will be able to avoid the trump and get another 5 Start on the North Strip?

basically is it possible for a hotel that is advertised for a lower rate else where to accept a bid on priceline that is over what they themselves are charging?

I'm sure the trump is nice but I'd rather stick to the Strip.

Thanks for the help :)

The Trump was last reported in the Strip North Condo zone, a separate zone than the Strip North zone (where the "known" 5*'s are the Wynn, Venetian, Palazzo and others.)

However, in general it is highly recommended to not bid higher in an attempt to get a particular property, as there's a very good chance you may get the same property you would have gotten had you bid lower and/or bid more than the regular rate for a property and wind up getting it.

Thank you Aaron.

I didn't want to spend over 160.00 per night. I was trying for the Wynn because of recommendations from friends who had stayed there. BUt let me ask you, What would you recommend for a First timer in vegas. We are not big on the Casinos. Might play a few for fun. Not huge fans of the CLubs either but would want to check out one. I feel like i have overwhelmed my self figuring out what hotwrire was offering.

Why not bid the 5* Strip South zone?

Yes, i think i am going to bid S* South Strip on Proceline however when i went to do so it was not an option. There was 5* south Strip vicinity as a zone option but not "Strip South" is that the same as South Strip list that you have listed under Priceline hotel list?

[AaronJB]

Strip South Vicinity is the same as the Strip South in the list.
