Not successfulLooks like there might be a 8000 person convention 5/12-15 at Caesars. Do you think this would prevent me from getting all 5 nights?The average retail price over 5 nights is $258. However nights of 12th and 13th spike at $317 and $368There seemed to be an error in the section when entering my bid amount, the red window next to this said the median price is $84??

thereuare Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 8K for Las Vegas is not much, but combine it with the 17.5K convention that starts May 14th (and most will arrive the nite before) and you have a crowd that would likely effect hotel demand. I'm seeing different hotels/prices than what you have posted above when searching your complete stay (5/9-5/14)... are you searching for more than one room or something other than the default 2adults/0children? Are you willing to pay $170-$200 at this or would you first try bidding higher on PRICELINE? Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

belindai Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 What prices/amenities do you see?I am only searching 1 room 2 adults, however when I tried searching again just now and error page comes up and no results are displayed.I would prefer bidding a little higher again rather than the 170 Hotwire. What do you think it would take for a win? Would I be better off splitting dates or would I end up stuck for the nights of 12/13? The palazzo and Venetian have nightly rates of $229 plus tax for each of the nights. Link to comment
belindai Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I just searched again and those same hotels appear on Hotwire $170, 171, 204 for 5/9-14 5* strip north 1 room two adults Link to comment

belindai Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks for the hotwire help.I bid unsuccessfully up to $150 5/9/14-5/14/14 5* strip nprth. What do you think it would take for a win? (<Hotwire $170)Would I be better off splitting dates, starting with 5/9/14-5/12/14? (<Hotwire $155)or would I end up stuck for the nights of 12/13 if there is a large convention 5/14? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 If you bid up to $150 for a 5* in Strip North and you're seeing $170 for a 5* in Strip North on Hot.wire, I'd bid $152, $155, $157, $160, $162, $165. You're likely very close at $150 and I would be surprised if it took up to $165. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
belindai Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hotwire is now showing $151 and $152 area resort and area casino hotel (rather than $170 and $171) Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 You can try bidding lower again up to $150, or did you just bid up to $150 within the last hour or two? Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
belindai Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 With Hotwire $151 I just tried bidding $121-136. $137-149 Not successfulAt $142 and $149 I received a counter offer to increase bid by $49 to $191 which I declined Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 If you have been denied at $149 and you're seeing a 5* listing with casino in the Strip North area for $151, I'd just take that.

belindai Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just in case this information is helpful for anyone else, usually with a booking I have made through priceline bidding or hotwire I email the hotel in advance requesting two double beds and my request has always been considered and each time I have received a room with double beds at no extra cost. However when I emailed the Palazzo a room with double beds would cost an additional $30/night plus 12% tax.The Venetian Bella suite (2 Queens, 700 sq. ft.) is available at an upgrade fee of $30.00 plus 12% tax per night and is collected at the time of check-in.

yellowdog Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanx for the update. However when I emailed the Palazzo a room with double beds would cost an additional $30/night plus 12% taxThis is the typical upgrade price for Palazzo and Venetian... even if booked direct with the hotel a room with two beds costs more than a room with just one bed. Enjoy your stay and good luck! Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches. Yellowdog. Link to comment
