bturner13 Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Perhaps I am thick-head, but zones that have Resorts listed confuse me. Take for instance bidding for a 5* or even a 4* hotel on the Strip. Is the Henderson zone that has Resort, 2 & 2.5* listings and the NW Las Vegas zone that has Resort, 1, 2, 2.5* listings considered Free Rebids? Just how do Resorts fit in? I don't want anything other than a 4 or 5* hotel on the Strip. Tks! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 This thread might help: Resort Re-bidding TipI believe the heirarchy is as follows:5*Resort4*3*2*1*If this is correct, a Resort could be upgraded to a 5*, but a 5* would not be upgraded to a resort.As there are plenty of zones in the LV area, and only 2 of them offer resorts, you may just want to exclude those as re-bid options to be on the safe side.

bturner13 Posted August 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 Thanks! Good advice and I follow what you are saying and will err on the side of safety! But how about the way PL lists Resorts at the bottom of their listings even below zones that have 1 & 2* options (2 examples in LV)? :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 As an add-on, a recent email to priceline indicates that a Boutique hotel can be upgraded to a 4* or 5* hotel (or resort i assume for that matter), but i sent a reply to clarify further and will post back if i learn anything more.UPDATE:This is the email i just received from Priceline customer service...Mr. thereuare, please note that hierarchy for the hotel star ratings is as follows:5-Star hotelsResorts4-Star hotelsBoutique hotels3-Star hotels2 Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 This Priceline Chicago thread seems to suggest that Boutique hotels will not be upgraded, which contradicts the above, so users are encouraged to use appropriate bidding techniques (ie- exhaust 4* possibilities before bidding for Boutique class properties) until more evidence/experience can be gathered on this subject.
