Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip Vicinity South) Vdara Hotel

[mark174ace]

Hello all,

 

I am headed out to Vegas 3/24-3/31 by myself. I have already made a reservation at a cheaper hotel as a backup plan, but I wouldn't mind trying to steal a deal for the Vdara if I can even if it isnt for the whole time I am out there. I was hoping for some bidding advice from the experts as I have not done this in quite some time. I used to use priceline and sites like this all the time, but I am way out of practice! Last time I looked on priceline it was 170 night. Do you think I could get in at 115 (not including the resort fees of course).

Are you only interested in the Vdara or are you willing to accept other 5* properties in the Strip South (or Strip North acceptable too?) zones?

Searching PRICELINE EXPRESS for 3/24-3/28 there is a 5* hotel in the Strip South zone with:

Free Internet in room

Outdoor Pool

Free Parking

Business Center

Fitness Center

... and lists 'Deluxe Suite' as the room type.

This is consistent with the Vdara and that would be my best guess for this one. It is priced at $122/nite, but using the discount link and code in my signature gives an additional 5% OFF, bringing the room rate for this one to $116/nite, which i assume you can extend your budget by $1/nite. ;)

The same hotel is offered for your complete stay for $133/nite (less 5% brings this too $126/nite) but not sure if the extra $10/nite is worth not having to change properties during your trip and having (assuming our guess is correct) the hotel you're hoping to target for your complete trip.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases. (or the PRICELINE EXPRESS link in my signature if you decide to go that route)

Let us know how it goes or your thoughts as to how you'd like to proceed.

Thanks for the help! I wouldn't object to switching hotels. I would like to specifically stay at the V because the rooms look great and I like the quiet. If I do break it up I would be more interested in staying at Vdara the last 3–4 days of my stay which I would expect to be more expensive because Fri & Sat involved. Is there a possibility the price may come down the closer we get to my departure date because they want to fill rooms?

There is no way to know if rate/s will come down closer to the stay, it all depends on demand and if traffic is coming in above/below expectations. However, there have been a lot less instances of last minute price drops in the last few years as demand overall has ramped higher.

 

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

Keep in mind that if/while you wait for prices to come down $10/nite this hotel could disappear entirely from the offers and be replaced with a different 5* hotel that you may not like as much.

Depending how much you want to target this specific property, i would either pay the extra $10/nite to not have to change hotels, OR lock in the first few nites at this rate and then hope for a rate drop for the latter nites of your stay.

Good luck and keep us updated on your progress/decisions or how we can be of further help.

Thanks for the help. If I decide to stay there I will post my results.

Please 'close' this thread with whatever you decide to do for this stay (even if not PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, you cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as it helps keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone.
