I'd guess TheHotel at Mandalay Bay.

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

TY...i might jump on that, but also wondering...I have tried BEAV's tool for identifying hotels on last minute travel, & come up with the 4* Tropicana for 71.00 (room & taxes) - does anyone know if the whole hotel is newly renovated (all guest rooms) or could we be stuck in an older unremodeled room :o

also, if we decide to possibly book something on LMT, is there a link on this web site to benefit this site?

thanx again

[allybunnie]

well, the 4* on LMT is no longer there...I am open to bidding on PRICELINE for a 4.5* strip south. It looks as tho there are 2 reported hotels on list, THE hotel @ Mandalay bay & Elara, both of which would suit our needs. I do realize there could be another 4.5* on strip south that may accept offer & is unreported to this site, but thats part of the risk.. ;)

the 4.5* 94.00 offer is still there on HOTWIRE, but do you think we can do better bidding on PRICELINE? if so, can you supply a bidding strategy?..lets go with max of maybe 80.00 UNLESS you think thats too low. Just trying to beat the 94.00 HOTWIRE offer & if Im bidding, why not try & make it worth it?

thanx!!

I went up to $93, just under the HOTWIRE rate, but you can stop at whatever bid amount you'd like.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I Have only ever bid on Priceline for the highest star hotel.. So my question on the rebid zones is ...you can only use rebid zones with same or lower star level , correct?..

[allybunnie]

TY for the strategy...got all the way up to 90.00 with no bites...had decided in my head at that point I preferred to win THEhotel at Mandalay bay, so I jumped on the HOTWIRE offer mentioned above, although the price had jumped from 93 to 100...still happy with the win...clicked thru your HOTWIRE link to book :P
