Bones_Jones Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi guys, i'm looking for a roomy place with 2 queen beds. i'll be a tour guide for parent in law from overseas. i wouldn't mind getting a 2 room, but seems like i can't find it under $120. I've been to Palazzo(with 1 bed), and I loved it, and i remember paying $120 total. but currently palazzo is over $200 (strip north resort 95% recommended?) IMO, palazzo is the perfect place. has all the wow factor, and it's not totally 'sinful'. lol but I'm open to try another 5 star hotels as well. only other place i've been to was Rio. it was like $30 per night, and it's definitely not for an elderly folks from the east. here is what i've found 4/1-4/3 - 2015 5* Center Strip area Condo - $171 Free parkingFree InternetAmenities Suite Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center i looked at the listing, but i don't see a 'condo' being mentioned. any idea what this is?well, thx in advance!

thereuare Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Welcome to BetterBidding! To get started, what are the dates of your stay and how many adults are you including in your search? Would a room with one bed and a pullout sofabed/rollaway brought into the room be acceptable?

Bones_Jones Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 date is 4/1-4/3 and no one bed and pullout sofabed isn't acceptable. 2 beds is must. and i always put 4 adults in my search. basically we are traveling LA - san diego - Las vegas. 1 week. wish i can stay top hotels for cheap! so basically i'm thinking 1. 3 1/2 stars to 4 stars under $170 in LA (want to stay in beach area, but LAX is fine too. no long beach - i think it's too far.) 2. 4 stars under $200 in San diego (i've stayed in kimpton hotels before - i don't think gaslamp is ideal. 2 mid 60's parents in law from korea, and i kinda want to show them coastal scene - any hotels in la jolla would be ideal) 3. 5 stars under $200 in vegas (palazzo would be perfect.) anyway, love your avatar! i'm a michigan grad. :) die hard michigan fan.

AaronJB Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's a few dollars over $200 at $206 (you may see a slightly different price), but I'm seeing a 5* in the North Strip zone w/Resort, Casino, Suite, Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Golf, Tennis, Spa, Free Parking, Blind Accessible, Deaf Accessible, Travel Accessible, Room Accessible, Bathroom Accessible, Handicapped Parking, Roll-in Shower. This would be a possible match for the Palazzo, which has been seen with this amenity set previously.Would this be of interest?

thereuare Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 ...and no one bed and pullout sofabed isn't acceptable. 2 beds is must.Searching for 4adults guarantees accommodations for for people, of which a pullout sofabed and/or rollaway can qualify as the second 'bed', so if this is a must have (vs. a want) then bidding on PRICELINE or using HOTWIRE would entail some risk since neither can guarantee the two beds you require. Your best option would be to use PRICELINE EXPRESS and choose a property that lists "Bed Choice" where one of the choices listed has two beds.

Bones_Jones Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 ok, i just went to PRICELINE EXPRESS deals. but how do i choose bed choices? here is what i've found. <dead link removed> cheaper one looks like Trump. other one looks like it can be anything. i don't mind gambling on that as long as i get 2 beds Link to comment
AaronJB Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 The listing should have "bed choice" indicated - not all listings do. Once you click on the listing, the choices available should be visible on that page. Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions.

thereuare Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Rates are date specific, and there is a 39K person conference taking place during your dates (the conference ends April 1) and is likely partially the reason you're seeing higher rates than the last time you went to Vegas, when perhaps there was little/no convention activity. As well, most hotels in Vegas now charge extra for more then double occupancy and/or rooms with two beds... since you're searching HOTWIRE for more than double occupancy, this additional charge is included in the price and therefore higher than if you were only searching for double occupancy. In fact, this looks like it is likely the bugger culprit since changing your search to 2adults/0children shows 5* hotel prices in the $105-$140 range. If you intend to wait/hope that rates drop in the coming weeks, our RateDrop service (it's free) will monitor rates for you and send you an alert if/when the price drops. :) Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

AaronJB Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 With PRICELINE EXPRESS, the listing has to have "bed choice" - not all do. If they have bed choice, then on the next page, you are given various options. Otherwise, there is no guarantee regarding bed type.

Bones_Jones Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 oops, sorry! i'll keep everything in these threads. so far i haven't decided on anything. i just can't seem to pull a trigger. lol anyway pricing went up to $129 for strip north resort. so is it true this can be Encore too? how many 'resort' listing are there? i thought it was just palazzo or venetian... if i'm getting encore, then i don't want to do HOTWIRE because i can easily book 2 rooms as Wynn Insider and i'll get $35 off. and pricing is pretty much same as Hot.wire. for LA - my wife keeps insisting me to wait and wait, to get super hot deal. lol i think this week i'll make some decisions(hopefully). i'll keep you guys posted! thx for everything.

thereuare Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 In your last topic title (before merged) i think i saw your dates as 4/1-4/4, but your original post was for 4/1-4/3, are your dates firm and which set of dates are you searching for? (as 4/4 is a Friday nite it will likely have an effect on rates and/or the hotels offered) 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.

Bones_Jones Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 and there is this listing $113 - north strip area hotel FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, 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, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower and when i follow through there is no resort fee. (maybe hotwire mistake?) when it doesn't have a resort fee on hotwire, is it certain that hotel doesn't ask for the resort fee? which hotel is this? it can't be trump because it has casino. can't be venetian/palazzo. encore/wynn? i thought encore/wynn charged resort fee... i tried to book it with their own website and they charge resort fees...
