scarlett0104 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 HI, I want to book a room at a 5-star hotel from 5/14 to 5/17. The idea area is Las vegas strip north. Priceline has great hotel list in this area. I have tried $140, $150 for one night, but all failed. Should I raise my biding price or I should directly buy the express deal which is $180/per night?And I also have concerns about the bed choice. We want to book a room with two beds. But I found that the hotels in express deal with bed choice only have one bed requested. And when I check the hotel room rate at their website, the two beds room's rate is higher than the one king bed room's rate. So I want to know is it possible to ask for a two beds room when I check in, if I need to pay extra money for that, how much will it be?Thank you so much!
yellowdog Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Welcome to BetterBidding!PRICELINE and PRICELINE EXPRESS only guarantees double occupancy, after that is at the discretion of the hotel. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Whether they will/can or not depends upon a LOT of different factors, including what is available at the time of your check-in, how many rooms with two beds are offered at the hotel and what they need to accommodate other guests for your dates, hotel policy etc. We have seen reports for upgrades in Las Vegas North zone and the price have been $25/night if I recall correct. I have tried $140, $150 for one night, but all failed. Should I raise my biding price or I should directly buy the express deal which is $180/per night?I don't follow you here, why have you been bidding for one night when you have a three night stay? I don't think you should take the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal yet if you only have been bidding up to $150. You have so many free zones to use so there might be money to be saved here. We would be happy to offer you a bidding strategy if you like that? Let us know your thoughts and we'll go from there.

scarlett0104 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Posted March 23, 2014 Thank you for your advice. A bidding strategy will be perfect for me. We have never been to there, so we have no idea about the hotels. The "one night" was a mistake. I should say $150 per night.
thereuare Posted March 23, 2014 Report Posted March 23, 2014 When bidding 5* in Las Vegas you have ELEVEN re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding. Select 5* Strip North... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...

scarlett0104 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for your suggest. I tried $150/per night and still failed. So I finally decide to buy the PRICELINE EXPRESS deal and it was the Wynn. This is my favorite hotel because my friend highly recommend for it. Thank you for all the suggestions!
