Priceline Hotel: Resort Las Vegas (Northwest) JW Marriott

[lileor]

I checked availability last week and regular rooms ($179) were still to be had on the Marriott website. As of yesterday, Marriott's site showed only Junior Suites ($279) available on Saturday 9/3. Hence, bid up to $105 yesterday with no success. I checked a few more times today and a regular room rate would pop up at various times, only to disappear again in minutes.

Tried bidding 2 more times when the regular room rate would pop up on Marriott's site and was successful the 2nd time! I bid $95 because recent posts were won around that same price and I didnt' want to waste time to have the room slip away from me :)

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the rest of the board.

You state that this was your second bid in the zone... do you recall the amount of your first bid in this zone on the day you had won this property?

Enjoy your stay.

I recall that I also bid $95 the first time also on the day (2 hours earlier) I won the property (Mon 7/25), is that possible?

I believe I was never able to "win" on all my previous attempts because there was no availibility for Saturday 9/3. I just happened to catch a room when it became available at the right time.
