Hotwire Hotel: 3-4* LasVegas sept 3-6

[ksunson]

Hi,

Saw some great tips :) in this site for bidding!

Hence looking for a good bidding strategy for my trip to vegas this labor day for 4 nights from sep 3 to 6.

Willing to split the bid as per below dates:

3&4 sep:

Basically wanted a descent hotel for this period:sat and sun (maybe a 3+* and mainly looking for accessibility to strip with descent amenities inside hotel) either "ON"(preferably) or "Near" strip or Freemont/downtown for the first 2 days(sat and sun) and max limit is $70 avg per day(can i get golden nugget for this?).I know this is peak period...but wanted your valuable inputs.

5&6sep:

For the next 2 days(mon and Tue) in a 4*(min) "ON" the strip not more than $70(my max limit other than Luxor)

Willing to add $10 more/day for all 4 days above if there is a tempting offer(free Breakfast,casino coupons,shows..etc) from a hotel.

Many Thanks!

SUNSON

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I assume you're dates are actually 9/3 (check-in) to 9/7 (check-out)?

Are you also willing to split your dates 9/3 and then 9/4-9/7 or does any split have to be as above?

Regardless of whether or not you're going to split or not, you may have a bit of trouble with a Saturdy check-in.

Let us know and we'll pursue it further.

Hi thereuare,

Thanks!.Yes my checkin is 9 evening and checkout is 9 morning.

By mistake i think i added this post in hotwire.But i prefer PL.

U r right by saying most hotels doesn't allow saturday check-in.That was one reason i wanted to bid for 2 days(sat and sun) so that my chances increase(does hotels who allow to bid allow sat checkin for 1 day stay?) but am okay to split between 3 and 4,5,6 as you suggested.

I wanted to split between 3&4 and 5&6 for 2 reasons:

1)I found min 2 day stay in most hotels(i thought this would matter while i bid,but i may be wrong)

2)The avg price for sat and sun is extremly high and mon & tue is extremely low.Hence if i bid for sun/mon/tue i may end up paying more(as some one pointed in some of the posts here)

If sat check-in is really a problem, i am okay to stay in 2.5* also and split the bid as you suggested as i would be mostly outbound sat and sun during daytime and wanted only a peaceful sleep durning night:lol:.

Please suggest a strategy!

Thanks!

correction to above posting "Yes my checkin is 9 evening and checkout is 9 morning".

" shd be read as "Yes my checkin is 9/3 evening and checkout is 9/7 morning".

Getting a property for 9/5-9/7 within your budget shouldn't be a problem, but for 9/3-9/5 i think you're going to have to be a bit more realistic in your search.

I think for 9/3-9/5 you're going to need to raise limit to the low $100's (for Alexis Park @ $98/nite, Circus Circus, San Remo, etc type of properties).

One solution i just came up with:

Four Queens for 9/3 $93/nite.

Then switch to the Golden Nugget on 9/4 for $96/nite

... or book the Orleans for $116/nite.

For 9/5-9/7 there are plenty of choices but we can suggest those once we know how you we be going about the above (if we need just 2 nites or 3 nites)
