kaytieedid Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 I am new to this board - just signed up. I've checked a bunch of forums and can't find instructions on how to bid, rebid zones etc. I'm looking for North or South strip in Las Vegas in January. I don't know what a fair $ amount is to start with for a 5 star. Also, do I only pick one zone at first and add on later?Can you point me in the right direction?thanks so much!!!

kaytieedid Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks for the information!! I'll read over it right away:) We're looking at 1/20/12 - 1/24/12 and I would like to stay around $130/night. Don't know if that's possible.
thereuare Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Assuming you don't want the Trump (which is in the Stip North Condo zone and is located slightly off-strip) i would bid as follows:At the 5* level you have ELEVEN re-bid zones.

kaytieedid Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Posted November 9, 2011 So when I start my initial bid, do I have to narrow my 1st choice to either Strip North OR Strip South? Or do I choose both of them then work on my 11 rebid zones?
thereuare Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Assuming you're looking for the least expensive 5* hotel in either zone, you would bid them together as posted above.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
