AaronJB Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Would be a possible match for the Venetian or Palazzo. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Botown Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 I put in a bid of $90 for a 5* Strip North for June 14-18, but it was rejected. The median price was $90. I plan on bidding again in the morning but I'm not sure how much I should increase my offer. What do you suggest?
thereuare Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. When you win a hotel use the ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN button on the lower right corner of this page and the thread will automatically be moved to the correct section of the board (if necessary). Priceline.express has a 5* hotel in the Strip North zone for your dates with: Outdoor Pool Free Parking Restaurant Business Center Casino Fitness Center This is priced at $133/nite, but using the discount link and code in my signature brings this down to $126/nite... not sure how high you're willing to bid, but assuming this is an acceptable amount for this stay, i would use the following strategy: 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 $95, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $103, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $108, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $113, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $118, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $123, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $125 If the above is rejected then take the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer with the discount in my signature. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Botown Posted March 24, 2014 Author Report Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks for the great advice and sorry for adding a new thread!
AaronJB Posted March 24, 2014 Report Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for keeping us updated and please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Botown Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Posted March 25, 2014 Won the Venetian! I took your advice and increased my offer by $5.00 each time and ended up with my second choice. The family is happy! Thanks for the advice.
yellowdog Posted March 25, 2014 Report Posted March 25, 2014 Thank you for sharing your result with the board. Enjoy your stay. Please use the board's PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your purchases and searches Yellowdog.
Botown Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 Is it possible to switch from the Venetian to the Palazzo? If so, who would I contact? Thanks
yellowdog Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I have never heard anyone do it. I'm pretty sure PRICELINE can't help you so calling the hotel (Venetian) would be my suggestion. Keep us updated if you decide to do it. Yellowdog. Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.
Botown Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 I called the Venetian and they said if there were rooms available at the Palazzo it would be a one time $30.00 change fee. I asked if that was per day and the attendant so no, it was a one time fee per room.
AaronJB Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks for the follow-up note - that's really interesting that they allowed that (I wouldn't have thought they would) and the fee doesn't seem too bad.
Botown Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 Once this plays out I'll let you know how it goes!
thereuare Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I'm sure it will all work out well.. the Venetian is a great property (imo) and you'll really enjoy the oversized rooms! Have fun and good luck in Vegas! Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
