CassieL Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Me and my fiance are planning to go to Vegas on May 14 - May 17 and we would like to get a hotel with 5*. Prefer Wynn or if not Aria. Since it's weekday the max we would like to pay will be $110/night. I'm new to this board and I really don't understand how the re-bid zone work. I read the instruction but I'm kind of confused. I also saw it says the Hotel List is not 100% accurate so how that affect the re-bid zone?Please help and thanks a lot!
thereuare Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Welcome to BetterBidding!To begin...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.Let us know your thoughts as to 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... and please click each of these links before replying.Thank you.

pcvtre Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 I won on priceline for those dates at the Cosmo for $115. With Priceline you cannot choose the hotel, only the star level.
CassieL Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 Thank you for the replies. I understand I can't specifically choose certain hotel but those are just what we prefer. We just don't really want Trump or Vdara. And prefer North strip too. Do you suggest Hotline or priceline? Saw a lot of winning on Trump for North strip which I'm scare.

CassieL Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Posted April 30, 2012 I will use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links here before I bid for the hotel for sure. So we have decided, 5* strip north or south, no Vadara or Trump for about $110 per night from May 16-May18, is that possible? And how? Thanks!
thereuare Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 ...no Vadara or Trump...Trump is in the Strip North Vicinity (which is different then the 'Strip North' zone) so you should be able to avoid this property by not including this zone in your bidding.However, no way to avoid the Vdara if you bid 5* Strip South, unless you decide to go with HOTWIRE, where i think the Cosmopolitan is currently offered for ~$128/nite.Let us know hos you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

CassieL Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Posted April 30, 2012 I just check Vdara website and I do like it. Is Vdara right on the strip? If it's then I don't mind Vdara, and kind of love it there.
thereuare Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Yes, the Vdara is considered to be 'on the strip'.When bidding 5* in Las Vegas you have ELEVEN re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 5* Strip North and Strip South (making sure not to accidentally select Strip North Vicinity)...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $93, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $98, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $103, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $108, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115Any questions feel free to ask. (i went up to $115 based upon the other user's winning bid for these dates, but you're of course free to stop at whatever amount you're comfortable with, although i will add that i do think you have a good chance at winning within $110 or less)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

CassieL Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Posted May 2, 2012 I am trying to bid 5* hotel at priceline but I didn't see strip south on the list. I do see Strip Vicinity South. Are they the same? If not the why I can't see strip south?
