Priceline Hotel: 4* Las Vegas (Strip) Aladdin Hotel and Casino

[Rhodium]

Great site ... This forum was very helpful in guiding my priceline bids for an upcoming vegas trip

After reading about other users 5* Venetian $99 bids, i thought i would give it a shot. Thru the hotel's website, The Venetian's rates for my days of stay were as follows:

1/7/06 - $199

1/8/06 - $169

1/9/06 - $169

Initially selected 5* Strip for a 3 night stay 1/7/06 - 1/10/06.

Initial Bid of $80 was REJECTED.

Priceline counter offered with $151.

Subsequent bids up to $111 utilizing the add zone rebid technique were also REJECTED.

I then changed my dates to 5* Strip for a 2 night stay 1/8/06 - 1/10/06.

Initial bid of $80 was REJECTED.

Priceline counter offered with $133.

Subsequent rebids including a $99 bid were REJECTED.

Finally had a successful bid of $120.

Congratulations, you got your price of $120 for a 5-star hotel room

This will be my first trip to Vegas. I was pleased to score a winning bid with The Venetian, but slightly disappointed that my $99 bid was not accepted.

The $60 Aladdin bid seems like a good deal. I think the going rate thru the hotel's website for 1/7/06 was $129.

Any thoughts or comments?
