Belle730 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Hello,I'm new to this website so please forgive me in advance. I'm looking to book a hotel between 6/13 and 6/16. I'd prefer to be in a 5* Strip South hotel. On Aria and Vdara's websites, the prices average out to 140 per night (Friday being almost double the price of the Wednesday and Thursday rate). I'm really hoping for the Cosmo which comes out to 230 a night. Any advice as to which starting rate I should begin with?THANKS!

Belle730 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 I'm looking to spend at the most $110 per night. Is that too low?
thereuare Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 I think you should be able to get a 5* hotel at $110 or less, but it may be a 5* hotel other than the Cosmo. To give it a try:At the 5* level in 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 South...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $88, 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 $110Any questions feel free to ask. (especially regarding re-bidding... if you're new to the concept it's higher recommended you ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding)Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
