KC Engineer Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Placed bids on 10/18 & again on 10/20 for LV Strip North and South areas starting at $100/nt and used free rebid zones to increase bid at $5 increments until reaching $126 and $127 on respective dates. I have a cancel-able reservation at Vdara so I guess I will wait until a bit closer to our trip. I've seen another post elsewhere stating they have the Palazzo for $125 per night for 11/9-11/12, but apparently since 11/12 is a Saturday night that is going to drive my bid up quite a bit, but hopefully not up to the $170 bid that Thrillhouse763 posted on 10/17. Any suggestions?BTW, used your PRICELINE link for the 10/20 bidding today (can't when I'm at work).
thereuare Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 What is your maximum bid for this stay? How much is your back-up reservation at the Vdara?Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

KC Engineer Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 We have a cancel-able reservation at Vdara for essentially $175 /nt including room taxes & fees (after consideration for our included 'free' Ka tickets). . . so we might go up to $150 /nt for a 5 star. We have never tried to do a split bid because of the chance that we might have to pack up and switch hotels, but open to any suggestions.
thereuare Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 I do think you have a very good chance at a 5* at ~$150/nite. If you want to give it a try...At the 5* level you have ELEVEN re-bid zones.

KC Engineer Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Posted October 31, 2011 No go up to $151 a night for 5* LV Strip North & South including free rebid areas
thereuare Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 I do think you have a very good chance at a 5* at ~$150/nite.That was over a week ago and rates in Vegas can change quickly. If the Vdara rate is refundable you may want to continue to try PRICELINE over then next week.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know if any changes... have a great trip and fun in Vegas.

KC Engineer Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Posted November 3, 2011 just tried again. . . still no go up to $154 Looking more and more likely that we will just keep our Vdara reservation which is fine. Guess we picked a busy weekend to be in Vegas.
AaronJB Posted November 4, 2011 Report Posted November 4, 2011 Thank you for keeping us updated; I'd consider continuing to try again and hopefully new inventory at lower price points will come online at the last minute.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
