Hi, Newbie here!

Staying January 9 - 17 2006 (Honeymoon!) and got two 4* hotels, one is south strip and one north.

Please ID them for me?

North Strip, Customer Favorite, $134 ****

Casino, Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, Spa Services, Golf Nearby, Business Center.

South Strip, $117 ****

Resort, Casino, Restaurant(s), Pool(s), Fitness Center, Spa Services, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Business Center.

Plus I want to try and get a 5* through priceline, what would be a good starting bid?

Thanks for helping me with an unforgettable honeymoon!

The North Strip hotel is a match for: 4* Treasure Island

Customer Favorite Amenities: Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness Center, Business Center, Golf, Spa

The South Strip hotel is a match for: 4* Luxor

Amenities: Resort, Casino, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Spa, Golf, Tennis, Business

With such a long stay had you considered splitting your bid? This may reduce the cost since you would be paying less for the weekday nights. As far as a 5* goes (such as the Venetian) how many nights were you thinking? There doesn't seem to be availability for any of your nights at this moment, although it appears to be available with a package deal.

Some websites for you to look at - Vegas.com, lvcva.com, lasvegas.com, tripadvisor LV forum.

I can recommend a helicopter tour of The Grand Canyon, it is amazing. We went with Papillon but booked through Lasvegastour.com, I think. Celine Dion or Elton John at Ceasars Palace, A Cirque de Soleil show, it really depends on what your taste is and of course the budget you have.

Have a look at the 5* listed hotels and check out their rates for the dates. Consider whether you would like to stay in one hotel or if you would be happy to split your time and save a bit of money. Weekends are always much more expensive so if you check out their dates try a few combinations. If you put in your whole stay for Venetian you get a price of $399 but if you look again at the first 3 or 4 nights you get a price of $299 per night.

I would certainly mention that this is your honeymoon when you get there or in advance (or both).

Congratulations and have fun!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

You can get a better rate than the above 4* in the North zone by booking directly with Treaure Island.

If you want to try for a 5* let us know what you maximum bid is and whether or not you are willing to SPLIT YOUR BID.

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals.

I don't care if we have to switch hotels, heck it may be even more fun to stay in 2 different hotels!

I didn't have success getting a better price for it though, maybe I'm doing something wrong but if I split it into 2 stays for 4 nights each I get about the same price as when I put the whole 8 nights.

I may try for venetian for the first 4 days though (non weekend) and go to luxor or treasure island for the weekend and the remaining days.

Thanks for everything. I will keep you all posted, and please keep the tips coming.

You don't necessaarily want to split into two stay of 4 nites each.

You seem very much up in the air with your plans, please think about what it is you would like and then report back so that when we research this stay and your options you are ready to move forward.
