ambient14 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 Since Trump is the only resort in the North Strip Vicinity, I'm guessing this express deal will assign me to Trump. The mandatory fee per night is $28.
ambient14 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Posted February 7, 2014 I'm about to book a priceline name your own deal, but the fine print that says priceline reservations accommodate up to 2 people is making me hesitate. Can one of these rooms fit four girls? (2 queen beds or similar option)Thanks so much.
AaronJB Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 PRICELINE only guarantees 1 bed/double occupancy. A reservation can be made with a party of four, but there is the risk the hotel may not be willing or able to give two beds. It also depends on the city - Orlando, for example, would likely not be as much of an issue in this regard as NYC. In terms of two beds, that may also be a paid upgrade. It all really depends on the city, hotel, day and even who you talk to.HOTWIRE is a better overall choice for four people, as you can indicate the amount of people when booking.Can you confirm the destination and date/s of travel?Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
ambient14 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 when I book tonight or whenever, I'll definitely use the better bidding PRICELINE link. I'm booking for Las Vegas. does anyone have any past experience they can share regarding fitting 3 or 4 people Ina double occupancy room?
AaronJB Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 It's going to vary from person-to-person and hotel-to-hotel, but there have been a number of instances where 5* properties have charged an upgrade fee. Again, some hotels (and it may depend on the day) may say no entirely re: two beds.If you need assistance with your stay, please provide the details of the stay (desired zones, star rating, budget and any other details.)Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
