gohatters Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Going on business Fist two nights free at Caesars. Looking for something on strip for remainder of trip.Saw some decent HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS deals on 5* North Strip and South Vicinity. I Bid up to $95/night to no avail. Was probably getting close, but i didn't want to spend more. I was ok with trying for the 4.5*s that are nice but set back (i.e. Elara, MGM Signature) but girlfriend is coming along and wasn't inclined. Also don't want to Try 4* South Vicinity because I don't want Tropicana or Planet Hollywood.Then saw express deal for 4* Strip north for $85. Same on HOTWIRE for $70. I assumed it was Mirage because their retail rates were cheaper. But knew it was either that or TI.Started bidding at $53, increased by $3-4 with free rebids. Got counter from PRICELINE at $70 when i bid $59 so i knew i was close. Next bid of $61 sealed it.All in all, I'm happy with a decent hotel and a what seems like a good rate. Link to comment

gohatters Posted October 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Quick update after the stayUsed $20 trick because I wanted a nicer room with a strip view. Was hoping for a Petite suite, but ended up with Strip-view panoramic room which had great view. She also threw in a free bottle of champagne.More importantly. She waived the resort fee. I know they weren't doing this for everyone because guy checking in a few ahead of me booked on priceline and was trying, unsuccessfully, to get out of the resort fee. Just an FYI Link to comment
