Priceline Hotel: Vdara, I know it is not excluded on 5* south bidding with Priceline

[gulfgator33]

But looking through the bids, it doesn't look like anyone has "won" it

I would be happy with the Aria, not so much with Vdara. It appears to be a reasonable gamble

Does anyone have input on actual results?

The Aria has been reported more often lately, but there was a time when the Aria was seen rarely. The Aria can be seen frequently as a win and then the Vdara can suddenly be seen. Overall, one has to be willing to accept any 5* when bidding 5* in the zone.

Please let us know what you decide or please let us know date/s of travel and desired budget if you have any questions.

Thanks, I'm probably going to bid in the north zone, at least at the beginning, to be safe.

Not completely sure I'm going, but if I bid, I will certainly use the site portals.

Happy to help, and thank you for keeping us updated. You could also look on HOTWIRE to see if what appears to be the Aria is showing. Please let us know if you have any questions.

I stayed at Vdara over Christmas, and it's an AMAZING hotel, great service, really easy to get your car, great rooms. Also it's literally 20 steps away, across the driveway from Aria. It wasn't a big deal at all to walk over there to eat and gamble. Just for your information it's a great property!

Also if I'm not mistaken isn't Vdara rated 4 star?

Vdara has always been 5* rated (at least as far as i can remember)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Says 4 diamond, 4 star on their website http://vdara.com/about/

Could just be because of the lack of amenities. The rooms are definitely 5 star quality in my opinion.

Unfortunately there is no standard in the industry for star ratings and there is often little correlation between PRICELINE star ratings, AAA diamonds and the rating from any other service.

Vdara is great, try it if you haven't.

Of course, everyone has their favorites, that's why there's more than one hotel.

If we could get it every time we would.

Beautiful rooms, great location, great staff. If a star rating is off, it may be a technicality, but it's not because of the rooms/staff/location.
