lmil Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I just found out that 5/5/12 is the Mayweather fight at MGM and I am attempting to Priceline Aria (MGM-owned) for that weekend. $165 bid has been rejected. I can get the room thru Aria direct for around $230/night but really don't want to spend that much in one weekend.Would $175-180 possibly be successful or is 5* south strip for that weekend all most likely over $200? I'd accept any south strip 5* but several are MGM-owned. Thanks!I haven't tried 5* north strip which would be OK. However, with this fight I'm thinking I might be out of luck for a really good deal.

thereuare Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.Would $175-180 possibly be successful or is 5* south strip for that weekend all most likely over $200?HOTWIRE currently has a 5* Strip South property for $199/nite, so under $200/nite should be do-able. If you let us know your maximum bid we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.I haven't tried 5* north strip which would be OK.If both zones are acceptable why not include both in your bidding strategy, then let whichever has the cheapest hotel room be the one which accepts your bid first ;)Let us know regarding your maximum bid and if you want to bid both zone or just South Strip, and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

lmil Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just bid $185 and surprisingly won! Was hoping for Aria but got Cosmopolitan. Still a good one. Thanks for your help! Link to comment

Chrissy NY Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi thereuare, I think the original poster meant that he won cosmopolitan. Not Aria.I think you should modify the title. Link to comment
