honey on boost Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Hello! I need some bidding help.I'm looking for a 5* Hotel for 11/16 - 11/19. I really like the palazzo and venetian. I've seen some winning bids for $99 close to my dates.My only issue is that I do not want the Trump hotel. Is there any way of avoiding trump while bidding? Thanks in advance! I used this board for my NY trip and you guys were a great help.
AaronJB Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 The Trump has been previously reported as in the Strip North Condo zone. What would be your desired budget for a 5* in the North/South Strip zones for these dates? Rates do unfortunately appear to be on the high side for these dates (North 5*'s generally around $350-500+ per night; Strip South 5*'s not as bad, but still high at around $225-275) so a high bid will likely be required.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
honey on boost Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 I was looking to pay $150 or less. I've seen some win for $99-125 around the same time. Do you think it's possible?
thereuare Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 At the moment HOTWIRE has a 5* hotel in the Strip South zone for $125/nite with:Resort, Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Businesswhich matches previous reports for the Aria, so that would be my best guess for this one. If you want to try for a lower rated thru PRICELINE you can bid as follows:At the 5* level in Vegas you have ELEVEN re-bid zones.
