Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.

You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

As well, PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Is this a risk you're willing to accept? If not, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

While all the information above would point you in the HOTWIRE direction, the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE.

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

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

Hi,

thanks for your reply and the info. I am aware of the fact that i won't be able to bid for specific hotels and that i can only choose the area.

I was just wondering for 4 or 5 starts hotel for priceline (las vegas strip north or south), at what price should i start bidding?

thanks

To know where to start the bidding we'll need to know your desired max budget per night. Additionally, given PRICELINE's only guaranteeing one bed/double occupancy, are you okay with the risk of getting one bed for three people?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
