Priceline Hotel: Las Vegas 10/27-10/29

[Hearmetoo]

I'm confused about waiting 24 hrs to rebid on priceline. Is it 24 from the time you started the process or from the last bid attempt before I ran out of zones? I can't recall what time yesterday I started trying to get a 5* PL in Vegas.

So today I don't know what time I can rebid again. And every time I re-check to see if it's time, will that reset the 24 hr clock again??

I searched the forum for the answer and can't seem to find it. I need assistance quickly. I'm trying to get 5* North (NOT TRUMP) or South strip Oct 27 & 28th. for hopefully under $138. Thanks for the help!

From your last bid when you ran out of re-bid zones.

So today I don't know what time I can rebid again.

Check your EMAIL INBOX to see what time the last rejection email was sent ;)

It's not supposed to, but sometimes it does.

With your stay over a month take a full day off from bidding if need be in order to 'wipe the slate clean' and moving forward keep track of your last rejected bid.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. I'll try later. Just don't have a lot of time to access the computer to work on this...

Am I being realistic trying to get 5* Strip north (not vicinity) at max $138 for Oct 27 - 29 on Priceline NYOP? I've been trying daily going up to the max price w/ the 11 rebid zones and no luck.

Maybe it's still too early? I checked for major events/conventions and couldn't seem to see much. Unfortunately it involves one Sat night.

If push comes to shove, I'll later change to strip south, or add it at a lower max price.

What are your thoughts? And what is a reasonable max for 5* strip south (it seems to be cheaper than north) for those dates?

REally appreciate all the help this site provides. Last year I began using you and have had great luck... THanks!! :D

Rates in Vegas change quicker than any other market in the US so anything is possible over course of the next month, but currently the best rate i'm able to find for a 5* hotel in this zone (using MAPS and HOTELS.com) is $249/nite, which would make a $138 bid price not very likely.

Geez, I hope it's not the Tropicana because then I'll be passing. If so, it's certainly dropped in price since I began checking over the past 10 days or so....

Thanks in advance for all your help. And yes, I so bid and log on with Better bidding sites!! You're so helpful and the best!!

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Best guess for the 4* HOTWIRE hotel above would be the Monte Carlo or the Luxor.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

[Hearmetoo]

Thanks. And it also mentions 'about a $20 resort fee'. Is Monte Carlo or Luxor still your best guess? Also thought it was weird that it's only got a Trip Advisor rating and not any rating for Hotwire.

I found 4* strip North for $122 on Hotwire, so I've been trying to bid less for same 4* North Strip w/ Priceline. Just not sure how much lower I should try. That one darn Saturday night is killing us.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Nothing strange about it... the HOTWIRE percent recommendations and the TA rating can come and go from one search to the next.

Using MAPS and HOTELS.com (search 'las vegas strip, nv') what is the best rate you're able to find for an acceptable 4* hotel thru conventional booking channels?
