Hotwire Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip North) The Venetian

[psiloveyou]

I used the BIDDINGHELPER link, and the betterbidding links for PRICELINE and HOTWIRE.  

 

I'm trying to land the Palazzo as first choice and Venetian as second choice.  If not, anything but the Trump in the Strip North would do.  I was going to use PRICELINE NAME YOUR PRICE like I usually do, but I think it's too risky because I could end up landing the Trump (I usually bid 5* in the Strip South but now we would like to stay in the Strip North).  What do you think?  What are some strategies for bidding on Priceline Name Your Price in the Strip North?

 

If you could please help me ID these hotels:

What are some strategies for bidding on Priceline Name Your Price in the Strip North?

You can't bid on or avoid a specific hotel when using PRICELINE You have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) you select.

 

Strip North - $156/night

Best guess would be The Venetian

 

Strip North - $195/night

Best guess Wynn Las Vegas

 

PRICELINE.EXPRESS

Best guess The Venetian

Hi Yellowdog,

Thanks for your reply. What about the $133/night PRICELINE EXPRESS in my original post? What is your best guess for that one?

[yellowdog]

Sorry! The Venetian is my guess for the PRICELINE EXPRESS offer, and i have edited my previous post above to include this information.

Here's the update on my win:

 

I had a way better feeling that I would land the Venetian with the HOTWIRE $156/night but I decided to take a gamble on the PRICELINE EXPRESS $133/night due to the price.  Factoring in that it had to be Wynn, Encore, Palazzo, or Venetian and that I would have been happy with any of those (because there was a casino in the guaranteed amenities - Trump has no casino)

 

So I went with the PRICELINE EXPRESS and I landed the Venetian for $133/night.  And my friend ended up booking two rooms right after me using this deal on priceline express. 

 

Since she booked her two rooms at the same time on the same booking, will her rooms most likely be side by side or joining?

 

Thanks for all of your help, yellowdog!

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're pleased with the results.

If your friend wants the two rooms to be near each other she should call the hotel and request that the two rooms be adjacent, adjoining, etc.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board... please ask your friends to use the board links as well.
