Jeff Thompson Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 So far have not had any luck for my trip to Vegas Feb 9-13th. Currently my last offer was $121.00 which was not accepted and I was really wanting to stay in the 5* Strip North. Any ideas or opinions you guys can think of?Bidding history:65707580859095101106111116121And I have been using the links on the websiteThanks,Jeff
thereuare Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Your budget is probably close for a 5* hotel in the Strip South zone, but based upon current rates, i'm guessing a Strip North property would like be in the $140-$170 range... what is your maximum bid for this stay?Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board..

Jeff Thompson Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Posted December 6, 2011 Well I was looking to keep it up under $600. Do you believe bids closer to the $150 mark would be a more accurate bid for 5* Strip north and current hotel prices?
AaronJB Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 The Trump is showing for $114 on HOTWIRE. In terms of a 5* in the North Strip zone on PRICELINE, you're likely looking at more at least $140-150. You have time, however, to continue higher by $5's - $126, $131, $136, etc.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 ...i'm guessing a Strip North property would like be in the $140-$170 rangeDo you believe bids closer to the $150 mark would be a more accurate bid for 5* Strip north and current hotel prices?As per above, my guess is that it may take as low as $140 or as much as $170... $150 is certainly within this range, but you'll have to try bidding to see if it will be enough.If $150 is your current limit and you want to give that a try, i would use your ELEVEN re-bid zones as follows:Select 5* Strip North...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $133, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any 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.

Jeff Thompson Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah I noticed the Trump Tower but I was wanting to stay at an actual casino. Thanks for the idea though.Jeff

Jeff Thompson Posted December 7, 2011 Author Report Posted December 7, 2011 I was in search of alternate options last night to see if spending $150 was what I was wanting to do. I did place another bid at 132 with no luck. Will keep the board posted with future bids/ alternate options. Hopefully have something booked within the next week or two. Also do hotel prices tend to go up before the holidays as people are buying trips as gifts and such?
thereuare Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 I don't think 'holiday gift giving' will effect this trip at all.Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Jeff Thompson Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Posted December 12, 2011 After all my failed attempts I decided to stay at strip South with using a Hotwire HotRate. Please close this thread I will post my win on the Hotwire portion of this site.
Jeff Thompson Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Posted December 13, 2011 4-star Hotel in Las Vegas Strip - SouthThis Hotel features the following amenities:Resort Casino Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Golf Nearby Won the Tropicana for $70 a night from Feb 9 to Feb 13. Total with taxes is $325.00(not including resort fees). Not a bad price and a perfect location for "home base" plus with the nearly 180 million in remodeling this place, it should be a great visit. B) Thanks for all the information on the boards. I did use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.Jeff
