Hello, I want to visit Las Vegas in early october. When is the best time for a priceline hotel? Am I too early too bid on priceline?

If you would like to get help so please post your budget/night before tax/fees, zone(s) you're willing to stay in and the star rating for the hotel. Please also post your date(s) for your upcoming stay.

I read that many priceline users want to avoid the Trump international? Is this hotel not good? Can I make a good deal with this hotel?

The very last area on this site is Hotel Reviews. You might get some insight there, from the perspective of Hotwire and Priceline users.

For a more general perspective, click here.

The Trump has a kitchenette, which I always regard as real plus. It doesn't have a casino, and I don't find this a problem as it suggests it might be quieter.

I can't say whether a deal with the hotel might be possible. It never hurts to try.

Do also check the hotel web sites themselves, as they can have special deals that don't necessarily show via bidding. You can access lots of the Las Vegas hotels via the Las Vegas Checker in Tools (above). And there are links to other of the hotels on the Support Page (also above).

Are your dates for October firm? If so, what are your dates of travel?

As far as hotels go the Trump is a very nice hotel, but many try to avoid it since it doesn't have a casino and is not located directly on the strip, both of which are a requirement for many Vegas visitors.

Trump is okay!

I stay in Las Vegas from 03/10/13 until 11/10/13

I accept all 5* hotels.

What do you think I have to start my bid for the Trump?

[Youdid]

Sorry wrong date

[thereuare]

What is the correct date?

[Youdid]

I will stay in Las Vegas:

10/03/13 until 10/11/13

If you have never been to Vegas before i would suggest staying directly on the strip as long as it is within your budget (or not too much more than staying off-strip). Fortunately for your dates rates are not high at the moment and HOTWIRE has a 5* hotel in the Strip South zone for $85/nite with:

Free Parking

Free Internet

Suite

Smoke Free

Fitness

Pool

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Golf

Spa

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Roll-in Shower

... best guess for this property would be the Vdara. Does this work for your needs and budget?

Sounds good. And deals with priceline?

Is it possible to get the Trump?

What means "super saving". Is it the best rate I can get. Or can I get a better deal with priceline? Or should I wait....until october it is a long time.

[thereuare]

The Trump is slightly off-strip, so that wouldn't be my first recommendation if you've never been to Vegas before.

PRICELINE is often a little cheaper than HOTWIRE so you could try bidding for a better price, but you then won't be able to have a guess as to which property it is that you may receive.

Nobody can say if rates will come down, or head higher, between now and your stay, but at $85/nite for a 5* hotel (or less if you're successful bidding), i think there is a greater risk of rates heading higher and not much room for them to go too much lower. The risk also increases on a longer term stay such as your since even just one nite of higher rates during your stay can effect pricing for the entire stay.

Thank you for your help. I will try it and I will use your HOTWIRE link!

I saw the deal at HOTWIRE. Is the Aria also a possibility? What do you think.

[Youdid]

Yipiieee I used your link to HOTWIRE and get the Vdara for 84$.

Thank you for your help!
