Priceline Hotel: 5* in Las Vegas Strip North

[jon007]

Looking for the Venetian, Palazzo or Wynn for 5/17 (Thursday) - 5/20 (Sunday). The best rates I have found for the Venetian and Palazzo for those dates are: 5/17: $183; 5/18: $199; and 5/19: $239

Bid on all three dates together up to $170 using re-bid strategy with no success.

Tried splitting my bids by bidding the cheapest dates (5/17 and 5/18) up to $155 with no success. Also tried bidding the two more expensive dates (5/18 and 5/19) up to $185 with no success.

Have been using the PRICELINE link on this website.

Would welcome any suggestions. Is it too far out to get a lower rate for these dates?

It may just be a bit early for these dates, and i'm assuming the rates above are refundable up until 2-3 days before check-in? If so, i'd book the above as a cancelable back-up while you continue bidding PRICELINE in the weeks to come. At an average rate of $207 for these nites, i don't think it makes too much sense to go much higher this far ahead of your arrival (and you want to book the back-up to protect yourself from rates moving higher from here).

Thanks for your reply and advice.

Do you have any idea when it may be a better time to bid for these dates?

Las Vegas is one of the most volatile hotel markets in the country, and rates can/do change often.

As you're 3+ months away, i'd bid twice a week at this point and then more frequently as you get inside of 2 months... but DO book a refundable back-up, as although as per above rates fluctuate a LOT in Vegas, it's not always to the downside, and you want to protect yourself from rates rising from here ;)
