AaronJB Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)This would be a likely match for the Trump.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
DenverBoy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Posted November 14, 2011 Is the the Trump North the strip ?Thank you
AaronJB Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 It is within HOTWIRE's North Strip zone, which can be seen on the interactive zone map on HOTWIRE.Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
DenverBoy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Posted November 14, 2011 The hotel is listed for $291Is there another way to get a better deal whether through Hotwire of Priceline?I'm looking for something off the the strip like the Venteian or the Palazzio.I appreciate you help.
thereuare Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 I'm looking for something off the the strip like the Venteian or the Palazzio.Did you mean on the strip as both of these properties are located on-strip... not off.Hotel direct rates for the 5* hotel in the Strip North zone are in the mid-$400's for these dates, what would be your maximum bid?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

DenverBoy Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 Sorry for the mistake.. I meant ON the strip.I don't want to go beyond $250..How much do you think I could win for?I use the links for both websites to support BetterBeidding in return because it's really helpful!
thereuare Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 I don't want to go beyond $250..How much do you think I could win for?You may not be able to win at all... let alone at $250/nite.Given the NYE holiday it's not surprising that demand is very high and 5* hotels in the Strip North zone are selling in the mid-$400's. Many hotels will likely feel they can get full price (and then some) for their rooms and sell-out on their own, so there is little reason to give inventory to 3rd party suppliers at a deep discount. My guess is that you may get a 5* hotel for a very small discount for these nites, as a hotel may be willing to give up a small premium in order to lock in a non-refundable reservation, but a discount of 40%-50% is probably not a realistic expectation for such high demand dates. There is a chance you may be able to get a room last minute at a discount from a hotel which didn't get the occupancy they were expecting, but it's also possible that a room available now may not be available later if the hotel is at or near full occupancy.You can certainly try bidding for a 5* hotel up to $250, but as per above, i don't think you'll likely be successful.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

DenverBoy Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Posted November 15, 2011 Thank you for explaining to me.. I was thinking of what you said and I understand it is hard to get a room at the price but why not try.My last bid was $200 and was't accepted.What hotels do you think I may get if I bid on 4* hotels North Strip?
AaronJB Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 The list of properties that have been reported to the board on PRICELINE in Vegas can be found at this link: Priceline Hotel List - Nevada. Those are the hotels that have been reported to the board - there may be other hotels not yet reported.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
DenverBoy Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Posted November 16, 2011 How much should I start the bit with ?Thanks for the link.
thereuare Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 How much should I start the bit with ?What are you bidding for... 5* or 4*? Strip North only or are you also including South Strip? The $200 rejected bid you previously made, was that at the 5* or 4* level and which zone(s) were included?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

DenverBoy Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 The bid I last made was $270 for 5* north strip and was rejected!!I'm looking for 4* or 5* north strip to stay close to everything if that makes sense..
thereuare Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Are you ready to try for a 4* Strip North property now? What is your maximum bid for a 4* hotel?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
DenverBoy Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 Yes I'm. I've already tried 4* for $100 and didn't win amd willing to pay more if needed.
thereuare Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Your bids are not realistic... $100 for a 4* hotel in the Strip North zone is usually not enough for a typical weekend (yes, sometimes you can get sub-$100 on weekends here during very slow periods), but this is New Years Eve which is a high demand date in Las Vegas, even more so this year given the holiday falls on a weekend.What is your maximum bid for a 4* in this zone?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
DenverBoy Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Posted November 17, 2011 $250/night is my maximum.How much do you think would be realistic?Thank you
thereuare Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 About $200 or so for a 4* hotel is realistic... $100 is probably not.Treasure Island has a current rate of $240/nite plus a $50 resort credit for 3 nite stays. This would be refundable up until a few days before your arrival, so would you want to take this and use it as a back-up while you continue to bid on PRICELINE, or try to lock-in a better non-refundable deal at a 4* Strip North property now?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

DenverBoy Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah, I think I will go with that just to make sure I have a room :)Where can I find that rate?I appreciate your help.
thereuare Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Directly at the Treasure Island website. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
DenverBoy Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Posted November 18, 2011 Just booked it and will be trying PRICELINE for better choices the next weeks.Thanks for your help!
