thereuare Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please post only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.Best guess for each is inline below:5-star Hotel in The Strip - SouthFree 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 ==> Vdara5-star Hotel in The Strip - NorthSpa Resort Free Parking Pet Friendly Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Kitchenette ==> Trump5-star Hotel in The Strip - NorthResort Free Parking Suite Casino Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Tennis Spa Blind Accessible Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Palazzo or VenetianPlease use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

TK2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hello there,Thanks for getting back to me. I'm still looking and hoping that the price will drop.How about this one:182$/night5-star Hotel in The Strip - SouthThis Hotel features the following amenities: -Resort -Free Parking -Casino -Fitness Center -Pool(s) -Restaurant(s) -Business Center -High-Speed Internet Access -Golf Nearby -Spa Services -Accessible for the blind -Accessible for the deaf -Accessible path of travel -In-room accessibility -Accessible bathroom -Handicapped parking -Roll-in shower Thanks in advance! =) Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm still looking and hoping that the price will drop.How about this one:182$/night...This one is more expensive then the other three you asked about above so is this one a realistic option at this current price?Please only ask for help with hotels that are within your current budget and you're ready/willing to purchase at the price offered. Since each hotel is looked-up individually, it's not a good use of time to research hotels that are over budget and which may never drop in price. Of course if/when a hotel drops in price we'll be more than happy to look it up.With the above noted, and as per the Hotwire Hotel List, this matches previous reports for both the Aria and the Bellagion.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

TK2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi there,I really really appreciate your time and research on this.Yeah.. the 182$/night might be more expensive then the other 3 first ones that I looked for.. But, it still can be in our budget if we really like the hotel... =)Girls can manage to cut here and there to fit what they think it's priority =)One more question: on Hotwire, after I do the inquiry, in the resultas page, let's say I look at the 182$/night, and click on the link "What hotel? Here is a hint..." I'll have the Cosmopolitain, Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental.I understand that Hotwire might not have listed all the possible hotel.. They just listed a few... but all the hotels they listed don't seem to have like the popular hotels that people often get after the bidding and posted here.. Like Aria, Vdara, etc... is that normal?Thanks,TK Link to comment
yellowdog Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Aria or Bellagio would be my best guess for the 5* HOTWIRE hotel above..One more question: on Hotwire, after I do the inquiry, in the resultas page, let's say I look at the 182$/night, and click on the link "What hotel? Here is a hint..." I'll have the Cosmopolitain, Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental.I understand that Hotwire might not have listed all the possible hotel.. They just listed a few... but all the hotels they listed don't seem to have like the popular hotels that people often get after the bidding and posted here.. Like Aria, Vdara, etc... is that normal?The purpose is to give users an idea of what hotels fall into which star categories so that they can determine which star rating likely best fits their needs, not that it will be one of the properties listed. And some hotels listed under this "hint" isn't located in the zone you're looking at.Please use the board’s HOTWIRE link, and let us know how it goes or if you need any additional help with your stay.Yellowdog.

TK2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Helllo Yellowdog,After discussion, look like we prefer the 182$/night (Aria or Bellagio)... Is there a way the get the Cosmopolitan for that weekend?I looked on Hotwire and the amenities match, like you mentioned, either Aria or Bellagio.. Between Aria and Bellagio, we might prefer trying Aria... But our first choice would still be The Cosmo.Is there any recommendation on how to get the Cosmo?I tried to change the dates, i.e. from May 25-30, to see if different amenities would show up.. but no luck.. it's the same.I also tried booking 2 reservations (May 25-27 then May 27-29).. same thing.. No possible Cosmo...Thanks, Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Only one (in some cases two) hotels show per star rating in each zone for each set of date/s. You can change the # of people to 2 adults and 2 children and that MAY result in different hotels showing, but it may not. In terms of the hotels showing, they may or may not change between now and your stay - there's no way to know. However prices may also change between now and your stay and inventory may disappear entirely.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
