Emphy Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hello, Especially to Thereyouare! You've probably forgotten about me.You have helped me getting a 4 star hotel in New York in spring 2006. I was in Vegas in 2011 "12nights" and 2012 "10" Nights and stayed at the Tropicana in a Paradise City view room. I was there because the manager at that time gave me 70% off and no resort fee's.Unfortunatly she doesnt work for the trop anymore.. I am travelling from home (The Netherlands Europe) from januari 22 to februari 23 to to the Usa, Starting in Frisco 3 nights from there onto Monterey 2 nights and on to Pismo beach (4 nights) I am flying back to home at Februari 23 from Vegas. I have never been in a 5* hotel so it would be nice to experience that.But of corse 4* is OK also. Can you help me? Februari 16 to februari 23 (7 nights) for a hotel in Vegas. On my road trips I have stayed at little 2* family motels in the past that were really better as 4 BIG stars :) (Not Vegas)I have a great memory about USA hotels ( Except the Riviera in Vegas). Thanks a lot in advance. Take Care!and best wishes for 2015! Harry(The Netherlands Europe). Link to comment
Emphy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Oops i forgotten, I stayed at The Golden Nugget also for 2 nights and i did like it, but i got a room in the Carson tower with no view at all. The Gold Tower was fully booked. What is very important to me is a great view to the outside world .. I better be in a 3* Hotel with a great view then a 5 * Hotel looking out on a blind wall. I would love to have a balcony ( I smoke... yeah i know its a bad habbit).. but i dont want a smoking room.. Thats why i want a balcony :) I hope i gave enough info for you to get me some help. Take Care!Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Welcome to back. Please remember to follow-up each of your threads with whatever you end up doing for each leg of your trip (even if you don't use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc), as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone. For this Vegas leg of your trip, what is your maximum budget per nite? (before fees/taxes) Is the Trump (no casino and slightly off-strip) and acceptable outcome? Also, very few (if any) 5* hotels in Vegas have balconies (too many jumpers after losing it at all the tables ;) ) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Emphy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hello There you are, yes i use your links. I dont know what my maximum is yet. The Trump is not an option thats for sure. what i liked about the Tropicana in 2011 and 12 is that it had an option to open windows.. that is what i like! a balcony ore open windows. In 2006 i was in The Stardust :) i loved it then but thats 9 years ago :( I did not use PRICELINE and HOTWIRE in 2011 and 2012 because i got a 70% off and no resort fees then from the manager at Tropicana in thoose days. Unfortunatly she doesnt work for the Trop anymore (: My room at the Trop was able to openthe window although not enough to jump out Link to comment
Emphy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I still have a lot of time to get a room. The first week is ready, I dont think the hotels i took would be any of help to you. SF and Monterey and Pismo Beach. so 3 nights SF 2 Monterey and 4 Pismo. from there on nothing is settled. I Fly back from Vegas to Amsterdam on februari 23. It would be nice to have a great hotel from februari 16 ore 17 until i fly back at februari 23. Take Care Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 ... I dont think the hotels i took would be any of help to you.Did you purchase these on PRICELINE or HOTWIRE? If so, they will certainly be of help to future users... if thru traditional booking channels, perhaps we can be of help to you by offering comments as to the location (if anything might be better) OR if we can find a better deal. The Trump is not an option thats for sure.Then bidding on PRICELINE is not an option.. you'll need to use PRICELINE EXPRESS or Hot.wire and choose a 5* hotel that shows a Casino. If you use BiddingHelper.com does either the HOTWIRE tab or PRICELINE EXPRESS tab show any 5* hotels, with a Casino, within your budget?

Emphy Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hello There you are, I am not sure,Do you mean you want me to post here what hotels i booked and how?Mostly i book directly at a hotel self (by phone). Last year i was in New Zealand and Malaysia and i used another booking site a lot. I dont plan far ahead, mostly the same day ore 1 day before check in. and often if possible an accomodation in a national parc (for example The Bright Angel lodge inthe Grand Canyon. I always compare prices on different sites and at a hotels own website and check reviews on Tripadisor. Ill report in here later, still have a lot things to take care of before i fly next thursday. Thanks for offering help! Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I always compare prices on different sites and at a hotels own website and check reviews on Tripadisor.Since PRICELINE / HOTWIRE usually offer the best deal (for when your plans are flexible) use our BiddingHelper.com to see rates from HOTWIRE, PRICELINE EXPRESS, and Hotels.com... and also includes a page for you to do your PRICELINE bidding. It makes it easy to compare your best deals and/or formulate a bid. Please remember to close this thread with whatever you decide to do for this stay.

Emphy Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hello There,I just saw this on Hotwire.4 * South Strip area Hotel from februari 16 to februari 23 (7nights) . 80% recommended.Free parking Free Internet Resort Casino Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Golf nearby Spa services Accessible for hearing impaired Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Wheelchair accessible Accessible bathroom Accessible parking Roll-in showerIs this the Tropicana?Take Care and have a nice day.PS i would prefer to stay at the south strip area in a 4* hotel with casino.Is bidding for that an option ?(i would prefer Tropicana ore NYNY ( better not Luxor)Thanks in advanceHarry Link to comment
AaronJB Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 The 4* South Strip amenity set would be a possible match for the Tropicana. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

thereuare Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 PS i would prefer to stay at the south strip area in a 4* hotel with casino. Is bidding for that an option ? (i would prefer Tropicana ore NYNY ( better not Luxor)Bidding for a hotel on PRICELINE would likely result in a cheaper price, but you can't guarantee a hotel with a Casino. If you were to bid, the Luxor would not be a possible outcome at this time since this property is currently 3.5* rated by PRICELINE, but a casino hotel is not guaranteed (all of the 4* hotels in this zone that i can think of off the top of my head do have a casino, but the 5* Vdara does not, and your 4* bid could always be upgraded to a 5* (or 4.5*) property). You could check PRICELINE EXPRESS to see if there is anything offered there that shows a Casino amenity for less than the HOTWIRE offer (you can use our BiddingHelper.com to do one search and then easily compare the HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS offers ;) ) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases. Let us know what you decide and how it goes or how we can be of further help.

Emphy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi There, Excuses for he late reply. I had a fantastic holliday. I drove about 5000 miles and started in Frisco januari 22 then-> Monterey-> Shell Beach->Palmdale->Yuma->Prescott->Tombstone->Globe->Prescott->Williams (grand Canyon Railway package (fantastic!)->Vegas. I didnt use Priceline ore Hotwire at all but stayed in little family hotels and cabins mostly. In Vegas i booked directly at the Tuscany suites on their website 5 nights and when i arrived i was upgraded to a suite with full kitchen, my own little garden and a private Patio with view on the Pool. ( I do like the suite very much!). Thanks for the help you offered , you run a good website!If you want to know what hotels i had and what i think of them and i made a lot of picture;s please let me know. I am flying back to The Netherlands in 2 days (monday feb 23). Take Care,Warm Regards.Harry Link to comment
