kaneda Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hey all,Was looking for some assistance on getting a 5* on the Las Vegas - Strip North through Priceline. I'm fine with any of the 5* properties in that section of The Strip. I've used the rebidding system as described on the FAQ's at this site. So far, I haven't had any luck and I've gone as high as $130. Ideally, I'd like to keep this no higher than $110 (not including taxes and fees). I feel like I should be able to get this pretty cheap as this is a Wednesday night. Should I just wait a few weeks and then try again?Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 You're probably not terribly far off, but the 5*'s in Strip North are a little higher than other areas for this night. You can stop and hope that inventory comes available closer to your stay at lower rates, or continue upward slowly (by $3's would be an option.)I see what appears to be the Trump for $81 on HOTWIRE - while not one of the 5* Strip North options (it was last reported in the Strip North Condo zone), seems like a reasonable rate for the night - and could likely be had for less via PRICELINE.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

kaneda Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Aaron - thanks for your reply. The Trump is a little too far north for me, but thank you for the suggestion.Priceline was showing Vdara and Aria for $129 and $139 a night, respectively. What would be a good starting bid to go after a 5* in the Las Vegas - Strip South area?I was thinking $65 with $3 increments. Thanks again. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is $110 still your maximum bid? If so, i would bid as follows:At the 5* level in Las Vegas you have ELEVEN re-bid zones.
