brittsyy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Hello,Looking to book a 5* Strip North hotel from dates May 20-27, I realize that this encompasses Memorial Day Weekend so I may have a struggle here,Where should I begin bidding? I am willing to pay up to $180 and would prefer the Wynn or Palazzo.Thanks :)
thereuare Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 When bidding 5* in Las 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.While i don't think you'll be successful at less than $150, with time on your side i would try that first:Select 5* Strip North...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $128, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $133, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $138, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $143, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $148, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150If the above if rejected wait 24 hours from your last rejected bid and re-try, once again use this PRICELINE link on the board:Select 5* Strip North...Bid $153, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $158, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $163, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $165, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $168, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $173, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $175, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $178, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $180Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

brittsyy Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks for the reply! I tried the first step, up to 150. Nothing. Is it worth it to ever try the lower numbers again? Like in a week or so? Or once they've rejected up till 150 do they keep record of it?
AaronJB Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 You can wait and try lower levels again, but at this point, there is no inventory at $150 or under. Given that Memorial Day is within this period, there is the possibility that rates could go higher and inventory could become thinner if you wait. While you can certainly try again at lower levels, I'd be fairly persistent in trying to lock something in.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
