According to Hotwire: "Book soon! The last person got the The Mirage Hotel and Casino.""This hotel charges a resort fee of about $25.00 per room per night" Mirage sound about right?
AaronJB Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOT.WIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.If you repeat your search using our Bidding.Helper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?Thank you for using the board's HOT.WIRE or PRICE.LINE links to start your purchases and searches.
masteryao Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 FULL AMENITIES: Free Parking, Resort, Casino, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Internet access, Golf Nearby, Tennis Nearby, Spa Services, Accessible for the blind, Accessible for the deaf, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower Looks like the price is slightly cheaper using the Hotwire Easy View ($162)
yellowdog Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Best guess would be The Mirage Hotel and Casino.

masteryao Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 So Priceline 5* north are typically Palazzo, Wynn, and Venetian, right? Las Vegas Strip North Rated 9.0 out of 10 (or higher)Indoor or Outdoor PoolFree ParkingRestaurantBusiness CenterCasinoFitness CenterCondo Hotel fee of $28 Any guesses on which hotel? Could it be Trump, since it's a condo? but Trump doesn't have a casino... Also, any tips on if 3 people are staying? I believe Palazzo/Venetian both have couches to crash on, so only the Wynn/Trump might be extra for another bed?
masteryao Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Posted April 12, 2014 Thanks for the guess. If it is correct, Hotwire is basically giving away which hotel it is by saying "Book soon! The last person got the The Mirage Hotel and Casino."!! I just posted on the Priceline forum, which has a 5* North for $168 on the same night, so I might end up doing that since it's cheaper and a higher rated hotel.
thereuare Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. Once you purchase a hotel use the ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN button on the lower right corner of the page and the entire thread will move to the correct section of the board (if necessary). If it is correct, Hotwire is basically giving away which hotel it is by saying "Book soon! The last person got the The Mirage Hotel and Casino."!!Not really... the "Last Person got ____" info is in relation to the star rating and zone, NOT the specific hotel offered. So HOTWIRE is telling you the name of one hotel in the zone at that star rating, but it may or may not be the hotel that is currently offered. My best guess for the PRICELINE EXPRESS property would be the Palazzo. As per PRICELINE terms, all purchases are for double occupancy, after that it is at the discretion of the hotel... the hotel would be within their right to charge extra for a 3rd/4th guest if they chose to do so, therefore if you are going to be three people i wouldn't only have one or two of the people go to the desk upon check-in, have the other(s) wonder around the lobby or head to the casino.

masteryao Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Posted April 14, 2014 I can't seem to buy this priceline express deal. I get: Your Purchase Could Not Be CompletedWe apologize for this inconvenience. Pricing and inventory changes often and the deal you selected is no longer available. Your payment method has not been charged.We appreciate your patience and thank you for using priceline.com! I chatted with the priceline chat help and they said to try again in an hour, but I've been getting the same result for the past few hours. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
AaronJB Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 It occasionally happens when inventory is gone for a particular listing. You can keep checking back, but unfortunately, no guarantees that any more inventory will be made available.

thereuare Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 Check your dates on the landing page, but try THIS LINK to what looks like the same offer as above (as it seems to be working for me at the moment) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

masteryao Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Posted April 14, 2014 no dice either way. I chatted with them again and their response was the same: - buy a different deal!- try again later. i'll try again later today i guess...
thereuare Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 When you click(ed) the link above do you see the offered hotel OR do you get an error message that the inventory has changed?

masteryao Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Posted April 14, 2014 the link above leads me to the deal, which is the same thing as if i had searched for it myself. either way (link or search) gives the same issue. just tried again... i guess showing deals that can't be purchased isn't a p0 bug for priceline. should I try bidding? yao.
AaronJB Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 Are you still having issues with the Price.line Express listing? I'm able to click through this evening on the listing. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
masteryao Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 Yes, I'm still having trouble. I have always been able to click through the listing. It only fails when I attempt to make the purchase. On the plus side, I have memorized my credit card # now. i guess i'll try tomorrow...
thereuare Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 If you have another browser on the same computer i would try opening the link above in a different browser to see if that helps, if not, then i think the hotel is no longer available for sale.

masteryao Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Posted April 16, 2014 Gave up on Priceline.Express (after ~2 days of not being able to buy my deal) and ended up bidding on Price.line. Was angling to get Palazzo with the 15% off discount code ($168 * 0.85 = $142.8), but Venetian for $155 + fees is close enough.
AaronJB Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Congrats on your success. :) Very nice win for this property and glad you are satisfied with the result. Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.
booeballin Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Hey where did you get the 15% off code? I've been looking for a code and can't find anything.
thereuare Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 booeballin, Welcome to BetterBidding! If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages. The discount code was offered in my signature (and AaronJB added to his as well)... but it was only valid for 24 hours and is now expired.
