Priceline Hotel: Any way NOT to get Vdara @ Las Vegas Strip south?

[Wildgift]

i am bidding for 5 star las vegas strip south, from 7/30-8/2 on Priceline. I get:

Guaranteed Amenities: Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center, Guest Score 8/10 or HigherGuaranteed Amenities: Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Restaurant, Fitness Center, Business Center, Guest Score 8/10 or Higher

That suggests the Vdara (no casino). I'd like to get the Aria, or somewhere with a casino. I started my bid at 70.00. Also, I want to be sure to get a king size bed. On Hotwire, it's 93.00 and says:

Welcome to Betterbidding.

There is no way to avoid a particular property when bidding on PRICELINE in general. If you bid for a 5* Strip South (for example), you have to be willing to accept *any* 5* in that zone. There is also no way to guarantee bed type via PRICELINE or HOTWIRE unless it's a HOTWIRE listing that offers the option, which is fairly infrequent.

My guess for the 5* Strip South on HOTWIRE would be Aria.

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

Since the Vdara does not have a casino, you can 'safely' purchase any 5* hotel in the Strip South zone that shows the Casino amenity listed. :)

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