Freedman Posted January 13, 2006 Report Posted January 13, 2006 Any thoughts on what I should be paying?I am ready to book now, but haven't really thought of a budget yet....
thereuare Posted January 14, 2006 Report Posted January 14, 2006 You'll need to let us know your maximum bid if you're going to be able to suggest a strategy. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Freedman Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Posted January 15, 2006 When I went last July I paid $99. I know this is as low as it goes, but I guess around $150
thereuare Posted January 15, 2006 Report Posted January 15, 2006 I don't think you have a chance given your current budget.Have you checked what direct rates are for these dates... some of these nites at the Venetian are $300+.

TBQ Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 These proposed dates coincide with the National Association of Broadcasters Show (probably not the best time to secure the best bargains, unfortunately).
Freedman Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Posted January 21, 2006 Thanks for that advice TBQ.Looks like we'll have to revise the budget.So the best I can find from easyclicktravel is $267 per night. Any chance of getting Venetian on priceline between $150 and $250?
thereuare Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Once you revise your maximum price we'll suggest a strategy as to how to proceed.The last two nites are going to be the tough ones!Given that you can book the Venetian for the last two nites for $267 thru EasyClickTravel, and that it's cancellable, i would reserve those two nites that way since those are going to be the "tough nites" thru the opauque providers.I would then bid for all four nites (not likely to win), then for just the first two nites. I think you have have a chance at getting decent rates thru Priceline for the first two nites... then you can pair that up with the last two nites from EasyClickTravel.If you want to go this route and need a more detailed approach (bidding strategy and/or what to do first) let us know.Your thoughts on the above?

Freedman Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Posted March 1, 2006 I think Vegas is out now as the prices that week are prohibitive
