coolmanhouse Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 I am planning trip to Las Vegas for my husband's birthday. I have invited his siblings along to surprise him. Since I need 4 rooms, I was wondering if there is different strategy for bidding for four rooms at one time. I am HOPING for a 5* on the stip at the cheapest price I can get. Here is info... 11/17- 1120 (Thursday - Sunday), 4 rooms with one couple in each room. I would like for us to be in same hotel but we don't necessarily have to be near each other in the hotel. I would prefer a 5* on the strip (North or South). My max bid per room is in the 120 range but would really like to get it much lower as I know the resort fee will have to added on to winning bid.Thanks for this site..I have been "watching" it for awhile but my first time posting and yes, I use the links.Thanks!

thereuare Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Unless you're also considering the Trump (which is 5* rated but somewhat off-strip and in the Strip North Condo zone) i think this may be a tough win within your budget.If you want to give it a try, as 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* Strip North and Strip South...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 $108, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125Any questions feel free to ask (especially confirming your re-bid zones if you're unsure)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

coolmanhouse Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 OK...I won, really! Since I had so much time I started low..$75 used rebidding zones to $97 (plus $2 a night bonus for total of $99 a night) and I won the Venetian! So with the room and the resort fee, I got the total for $119 per room. Cool, thanks for the help and yes, I used your PRICELINE links. Do I need to post this win anywhere else to help others?
