nanz236 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Hi Guys, This is my first post...ive been silent observer for a few days now...Ill be visiting US for the first time...and excited to visit Vegas ...would love to stay at the Venetian or Wynn 12/20-12/23. I do understand that you cant be sure..but anything that betters my chances would definitely help. Checked out Hotwire during that date... it seems to be offering only one 5star property on the north strip with kitchenette. I m sure its neither Wynn or Venietian...so looking for some tips on Priceline. how to select/starting bids for this period etc...This will be my first time bidding...Looking forward to some help from you folks cheersnanz
AaronJB Posted October 15, 2011 Report Posted October 15, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)There is no way to guarantee/increase the odds of a particular property/properties when bidding on PRICELINE.Please provide your desired budget per night and we would be happy to offer suggestions on how to proceed.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
nanz236 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Report Posted October 16, 2011 Hey Aaron, $100 is what I am looking at, based on someone who managed to find Venetian at $99 from 12/24 to 12/27 on Priceline. I would guess weekday (12/20-12/23) which I am looking out for , should be reasonable. Do help me ThanksNanda
thereuare Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 At the 5* level in Vegas you have FIVE 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...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $78, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $88, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $93, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $98, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

nanz236 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Posted October 22, 2011 Hey thanks dude, Thanks to folks at Betterbidding! this is my first attempt at bidding, it feels great.Got WYNN for $90 from Dec 20-23. Hows it compared to venetian? Thanks a lot for your help, I used the PRICELINE links provided here. Regardsnanz
thereuare Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 Congratulations on your success!Like the other 5* hotels in this zone, this is a great property... and at $90/nite this is a fantastic deal.If you go across the street to the Fashion Mall there is a 'regular priced' Starbucks which doesn't have the inflated prices found elsewhere on the strip, as well as an ABC Store (i think that's what it's called in Nevada) which sells beer, liquor, wine, soda, snacks, etc which you can take back to your room, if you're looking for a reasonably priced alternative in the area for 'supplies'.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay... and hope your luck is just as good in Vegas! :) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
