cammygirl68 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Hi,4 of us are going to Vegas June 21-24, Thurs, Fri, Sat nights. Hoping for a good rate at a 5* hotel on the strip, could be north or south zone, but not Trump. (Also wouldnt mind Mandalay or TheHotel but I think that makes for complicated bidding, right? so I'm happy just to bid 5*) Not sure if its doable but 125$ would be max per night plus fees. I have secured a really good cancellable rate at Treasure Island but prefer 5*. It would be for 2 rooms.Did I forget anything? Thank you for your assistance!

cammygirl68 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 Hi for June 21-24,I room, 2 pplHelp identifying 4.5* Las Vegas Strip- South Area HotelAmenities:Resort Free Parking Casino Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis NearbySpa Services When I look for 2 rooms with 2 ppl each this offering doesn't appear.

cammygirl68 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Posted May 10, 2012 No, I haven't bid just yet. 2 of my group tell me they absolutely must have their own beds, so threw me off a tad. Now Im looking at Hotwire more closely. That said, I am keeping your advice on the bidding in mind as the date draws closer. Once I bid I will definetly post, whether hotwire or priceline. Thanks for your guidance!

I suppose if I want 2 rooms I would need to go back and do it again?Best guess for the 4.5* HOTWIRE property above is THEhotel at Mandalay Bay.However, two issues:1) if you purchase one room, when you immediately do another HOTWIRE search for the second room there is a chance the same hotel doesn't appear again... what if this is the last room offered to HOTWIRE at this rate?2) to ensure separate beds you'll need to search for at least triple/quad occupancy, even though only two people in the room. If you search for double occupancy all that is guaranteed is a room that will accommodate two people, there is no assurance of bed types/room configurationThanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.
