Hi, I was wondering if you can help me see what are the rates I might expect in bidding for either a 4* or a 5* strip north or south for 3/21-3/27.

I read the post about the rebid zones just wondering what I should expect to start at for each of these.

I'm looking at trying to stay in the $100/night range if I can and am not opposed to Vdara but would rather not get Trump.

How does priceline see the Westin as its listed as a 3 1/2 star.. if i stay 4* or above can I be reasonably sure that will exclude that property?

Thanks for any and all help.

Well, I tried PRICELINE (using the links here) starting at $80/n for a 5* and used the re-bid zones up to $110 and was rejected. I think i will wait until tomorrow and see if the prices change and maybe try for a 4*

I would still be interested in knowing what the HotWire property is as a backup.

Which zone(s) did you include in your PRICELINE bidding? Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

So I want to stay in either North or South Strip.

I First select Select 5* Strip South

Bid $80, rejected add Strip North zone...

Bid $85, rejected add re-bid zone...Boulder Strip

Bid $90, rejected add re-bid zone...Fremont

Bid $95, rejected add re-bid zone...Henderson

Bid $100,rejected add re-bid zone...Lake Las Vegas

Bid $105,rejected add re-bid zone...Airport

Bid $110,rejected add re-bid zone...Convention Center

I know I had a few zones left to use but wanted to stop there and try a 4* today.

I was actually considering the option of splitting up my bids since I am pretty sure the weekend stay is what is killing me. My wife is less eager for this option but what else is new ;)? I am not sure of a good strategy for that though. My stay is a Wed(3/21) - Tues (3/27) how would you suggest splitting this stay?

You do know you could close your browser to "uncheck" all those 5* free rebid zones, and then come back into Priceline and bid at the 4* level - all in the same bidding session on the same day?

Or maybe you just wanted some time to think it over? Never a bad idea.

The 4* Strip South property is a match for the Tropicana so that would be my best guess for this one.

For the Strip North property, are you sure this is 5* rated... or is this a 4* listed property?

If moving forward with PRICELINE, are you going to SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID at the 5* level first OR try for your complete stay at the 4* level?

Ya it was listed as a 4* sorry my mistake

If moving forward with PRICELINE, are you going to SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID at the 5* level first OR try for your complete stay at the 4* level?

I think I will actually try splitting my stay on my next bid. Can you please recommend some strategies? What do you think about bidding the 5* for the weekdays then a 4* for the weekend?
