Dooley Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 I'm hoping to find a reasonably priced hotel (less then $100/ night on the strip for Friday July 1 and Saturday July 2. I've done some looking on hotel websites and the prices seem high for those dates (avg. nightly price of about $125 at places like Flamingo/Bally's etc). My wife and I will need the place just to crash at nigth so it doesn't have to be too fancy. Location, however, is important (we'd like on the strip and consider Flamingo/Ceasars to be perfect location).Does anyone have any info on recent bidding for this class of hotel for a summer weekend. Also, a more basic question, on Priceline, when it says "The Strip" is this a guarentee that the hotel is actually on the strip or just near the strip.Thanks!
thereuare Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Is this in addition to or in lieu of your LAS VEGAS HOTEL stay in August? (if in addition to please follow-up any progress on that stay) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Dooley Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Not exactly sure what stay you're referring too. I don't think I posted about an August stay. I did recently post with some questions on a May stay. That was my first time using Priceline and this board was very helpful. Using the re-bid info that you provided I maxed out my bids for a 5 star on the strip at $99 and was unsuccesful. I ended up using soutwest vacations and got an excellent rate for airfare combined with a two night (thursday and Friday night) stay at the Bellagio. I had hoped to use priceline for this upcoming trip (July 1-3) but wanted to consult with this board first. Since we stayed at the "fancy" hotel last time, we feel like this time we'd be happy to save some money and just stay at a place that is decent and use the savings in other ways. I hope members of this board have some suggestions and/or advice. Thanks!
thereuare Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Yup, my bad... saw a post you had replied to. <sorry>"The strip" is defined by the shaded region of Priceline map (you can click on it for a more detailed view).I don't think those prices you mention are too high for weekend nites (yes, even in the summer). If you wanted a little nicer you could get the Treasure Island for $139/nite or more budget oriented is the Imperial Palace thru QuikBook for $93/nite.Do either of those work better?

Dooley Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks for the reply and the info. The Imperial Palace at $93/night sounds just right. What class of hotel is it (3 star?). My big concern is ending up with a place not directly on the strip. Thanks again!
thereuare Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 The Imerpial Palace has a very good on-strip location (just south of the Venetian and near Harrah's). I would say that most consider it to be 3* quality. (they also have an excellent car display which you can usually get free passes for in front of their property or in local magazines)If you go that route please use our QUIKBOOK link for your purchase.Let us know what you choose.

Dooley Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks so much for the info. Just a few basic questions. What do you mean by: please use our link for your purchase. What link are you referring to?Also, how do you think I should approach the bidding? That is, what do you think I should start with, how high, etc?Thanks!
