mustard Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 Booking my hotel for my annual March Madness trip for 3/18-3/22 So far I have tried 5* in Strip South up to $150 with no luck, I figure it will probably take a lot more to win Cosmo, Aria, or Vdara so I will have to shoot lower in terms of quality. My previous strategy had been 4* Strip North with Treasure Island or Mirage which I love both, however they've added a new hotel in that zone which I do not want (SLS) so I am having to adjust my strategy. I am using the boards links for my searches.
mustard Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 It seems as if this weekend is more expensive than previous years.....I am going to wait a bit before booking it looks like.
AaronJB Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 This is definitely a tough period; 5*'s are definitely pricey, but a 4* should be able to be had well within your range, as there's a number of options on Price.line under $150 and some around or under $130. Which zones are acceptable? Is a casino a must? I'm seeing the Trump for $155. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 I was considering these same dates for a Vegas trip (was going to meet some friends for their bi-annual March Madness trip) so i've been tracking these dates for awhile (but unfortunately airfare likely makes this trip prohibitive for me). If you could ensure avoiding the SLS, what would be your budget for a 4* hotel? What would you be your maximum budget for a 5* in the Strip North zone? Is the Strip South zone acceptable at all?

mustard Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Posted January 25, 2015 Strip is a must and a casino is a must. I do have a 10% priceline express coupon so I've been looking at those too.Strip North or Strip South is fine. I don't want to bid on a hotel in the Strip North 5* because of the Trump which I do not want.I'd prefer not to go over $120/night for 4* because of the resort fees (which are ridiculous), which would end up putting it at $150/night.
thereuare Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 Any interest in the Luxor for $113/nite, Tropicana for $132/nite, or Treasure Island for $144/nite?

mustard Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 For the dates mentioned in the title, what is this express deal in your best guess? $128/nt 4* North Strip Free InternetFree ParkingSwimming PoolFitness CenterRestaurantCasinoBusiness CenterGuest Ratings: 7+ Good
mustard Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 The Mandalay Bay and Tropicana have been seen with this amenity set previously, but I'd lean towards the Tropicana as being more likely of the two. It was strip north and not strip south. Probably TI or SLS?
AaronJB Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 A 4* in Strip North with this amenity set has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board yet, but a new amenity set for the TI would be a possibility.

AaronJB Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 Would likely be the SLS. Thank you for keeping us updated and 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.
mustard Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks. I think I'm probably going to take a chance on that PRICELINE EXPRESS mentioned earlier in the thread that you thought could be the TI (and hope it's not SLS) since I have a 10% off Express offer that expires in a couple days.
AaronJB Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 The 4* PRICELINE EXPRESS has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board and could possibly be something else, but when searching for a 4* on the strip on the retail side w/ Free Internet Free Parking Swimming Pool Fitness Center Restaurant Casino SLS is an option. When I add business as an amenity, SLS goes away. Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 When i just clicked on the current 4* PRICELINE EXPRESS offer in the Strip North zone i received a message that the offer was no longer available, so once you're ready to commit you may want to post the current offer at that time to see if it is likely the same one as above and/or our best guess for the offer at that time.

smardie Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 I am also trying to get a 5 star hotel, but just for Friday night. I am staying in a condo the first few nights. My 5th year going to March Madness in Vegas and love it. I noticed you can score good deals for Wed night, but Friday and Saturday much harder. I just tried and was rejected on a $145.00 for 5 star for North and South strip as well as rejected like the loser I am for a 4.5. I know it is early and not expecting to win now, but keep trying just the same. Way back in the day I used to think Hotwire was better, but they seem to never have good deals as they did before. Mark

mustard Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Posted January 29, 2015 For March 18-22 I am seeing the following now for 4* Strip North on Priceline Express. The price is now $129 so I guess they just raised it by $1. Rated 7.0 out of 10 (or higher)Indoor or Outdoor Pool Casino Restaurant Fitness Center Free Parking Free Internet Business Center
mustard Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Posted January 30, 2015 That PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal was indeed Treasure Island so I am very happy....plus I got an extra 10% off with a coupon. I used the board PRICELINE link to make my searches/purchase. Thanks guys!!!
thereuare Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Congratulations on your success! Glad to see you received the one you were hoping for, and more importantly, avoiding the one you didn't want. :) Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your purchase.
