luuukas Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi, I have been a couple of times to Vegas already and was using the priceline bidding for ending up in the Venetian usually. Since things have changed and the chance is quite high to end up with the Trump, I definitely need a new strategy. After again checking the hotel lists for PRICELINE and HOTWIRE, I will have to use PRICELINE EXPRESS deals for 5* or hotwire 5* deals for getting the Venetian or Palazzo. Is this correct? The last thing I want is to be stuck in the Trump :( Data 4 people (2 couples) checkin 02/07 checkout 05/07 Preference Venetian or Palazzo (btw what is the difference between the rooms in the Venetian and the rooms in the Palazzo) We already made our peace with sleeping in a Venetian suite together. Therefore, one room for 4 of us. Is the Palazzo the same size and so on when it comes to the room? Currently on PRICELINE: Venetian regular rate $258/night PRICELINE EXPRESS DEALS: Guest Score: Rated 8.0 out of 10 (or higher) Guaranteed Amenities: Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center Non Smoking Check In:Sat Jul 2, 2016 Check Out:Tue Jul 5, 2016 $129/night - 2 rooms selected This is probably not the Venetian or Palazzo. Can you please help identifying the HOTWIRE deals? HOTWIRE: 5* North Strip area casino hotel Complimentary Free Internet Free parking Amenities Business center Casino Fitness center Pool(s) Resort Restaurant(s) Suite $156/night 5* North Strip area all-suites hotel Complimentary Free Internet Free parking Amenities Business center Casino Fitness center Pool(s) Resort Restaurant(s) Suite 147$/night 5* North Strip area hotel Complimentary Free parking Amenities Business center Casino Fitness center Golf nearby Internet access Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Tennis nearby $201/night What do you suggest and what options do I have for getting something else than the Trump? How high are the rates for the weekend July 4th? Is it reasonable or can we expect something crazy expensive? Thank you for your support! Lukas Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 For the HOTWIRE listings: I think there may be more amenities than you have included above. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper tool and look in the EASY VIEW TAB, do you see additional amenities beyond those listed above? If so, please confirm the full amenity set and we would be happy to take a look. Additionally, the full list of hotels reported to the board and the amenities associated with each can also be found here: Hotwire Hotel List Nevada.

luuukas Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I am fine with the other three hotels, but it is not 100% given that it will not be the Trump at the end. In genera, I am fine with the other 3 hotels. One more question concerning the other 3 hotels - are they all having suites like the Venetian? I only know the Venetian from inside the rooms and I was wondering if we can stay with 4 people (2 couples) in one room as we would do with the Venetian. Thank you! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Are you searching for more than 2 adults per room on HOTWIRE? If so, you should get bedding for the whole party, but there is no guarantee of room type/exact bedding unless the listing specifically gives you that option on the detail page (and not all do.)

I'm not sure what you're asking here... At first i thought this was regarding an occupancy and/or bed type issue, but i see above you were searching for 2rooms/4adults, so i'm guessing that is not the question. Ca you clarify... what exactly is your concern?

luuukas Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 My concern is that I will choose one of the deals (which is not the Trump) and then it is not the Venetian in the end. I would like to sleep with 4 people in one room which is very much possible in the Venetian since they have only suites and as far as I know all of the standard suites have 2 beds. Is this also the case with the Palazzo? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 7 minutes ago, luuukas said: as far as I know all of the standard suites have 2 beds. No, a 'standard' suite at both the Veneitan and Palazzo have one bed (and usually a pullout sofabed)... rooms with two Queen beds at each of these properties are considered upgrades and cost more than the standard 1bedded rooms. Have your plans/room arrangements changed are you're now looking for 1room/4adults vs. the previously requested 2rooms/4adults? Have you repeated your search for 1room/4adults to see if the same hotel(s) are offered and/or at the same rates which are acceptable to you?

luuukas Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I did not know it is considered as an upgrade, because we always ended up in 2bedded rooms in the past. The plan is 1 room with 4 adults. The rates increase heavily when I select such an option on the Biddinghelper. I would prefer to select 1 room for 2 adults and do my best to get a 2 bedded room. I guess the chances are higher at the Venetian since the hotel is larger than the Palazzo and has more rooms. Is this correct? Current status on hotwire for 1 room / 2 adults: 5* North Strip 174usd FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Suite, Resort, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower 5* North Strip 189usd FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Free Internet, Resort, Suite, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Accessible for visually impaired, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower 5* North Strip 201usd FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 The rate goes up when searching for 4adults because most 5* Vegas hotels now charge more for anything over double occupancy and/or two beds in the room. For the hotels above, as per the Hotwire Hotel List... 5* North Strip 174usd ==> Palazzo 5* North Strip 189usd ==> Venetian 5* North Strip 201usd ==> Wynn Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

thereuare Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Are you still searching for July 2-5 as i'm not currently seeing any 5* hotel in the Strip North zone for $174/nite when searching PRICELINE EXPRESS for your dates... are you searching for more than one room? Best guess for the 1st property would be the Palazzo... for the 2nd my guess would be The Venetian. Is $165-$175 within your acceptable budget?

luuukas Posted June 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Yes, I am still searching July 2-5 for 1 room. How can two different properties be priced the same? I still see the deal on priceline express. 174 USD/night & 154 EUR/night. I have selected 5 stars and casino on the filters. Link to comment

You say you're hoping to target the Venetian, which is one of the hotels guessed above at a price cheaper than this PRICELINE EXPRESS deal; so why not take it from HOTWIRE??

luuukas Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hi, I figured out that I forgot to book the hotel in the end. Can you please help identifying the following two 5* hotels? North Strip area all-suites hotel - 176€ per night Sat, Jul 02 - Tue, Jul 05 1 Room, 2 Adults 95% recommended (709) Amazing!

Complimentary Free InternetFree parking Amenities Business centerCasinoFitness centerPool(s)ResortRestaurant(s)Suite I would have posted the details when going through biddinghelper's HOTWIRE EASY VIEW, but when I click on the hotels for 195 USD/night I get an error message and can't finalize it. On PRICELINE EXPRESS DEALS I see that there is only one north strip hotel for 206 euro per night. I remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... Do you have any other recommendations? I feel like the prices went up during this week, but I have to book something until latest Sunday. Thank you for your support! Link to comment
luuukas Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Actually, when going through the biddinghelper easy tab view.. then only this one works: North Strip 5* - 192 USD / 175 EUR FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, Casino, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business center, Internet access, Golf nearby, Tennis nearby, Spa services, Accessible for hearing impaired, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Accessible parking, Roll-in shower The other two hotels do not work :( Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 As per the Hotwire Hotel List the amenity set above matches previous reports for the Wynn Las Vegas so that would be our best guess for this one. If not this property, please re-iterate that it is that you are looking for in a hotel for this trip (number of rooms, number of guests you're including in your search, any bedding requirements, your dates of travel, and maximum budget in US Dollars before taxes/fees) Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

luuukas Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I would like to avoid the Wynn and aim for Venetian or palazzo since we will be 4 people (2 couples) and we want to stay in one room on 2 queen beds. I know that it might cost us a fee at the reception and can be taken as an upgrade, but we will take the risk. travel dates 2 July - 5 july budget is like 180usd per night Link to comment

So are you willing to book for double occupancy... or did you want to book for quad occupancy and then hope that you can upgrade to 2Queens (vs. 1Queen + sofabed)? 23 minutes ago, luuukas said: budget is like 180usd per night Aren't all of the hotels you listed above above this budget?

luuukas Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I want to book double occupancy and hope that I get 2 queens my budget is lower because I was expecting to pay less, but I see that the rates have went up.. Therefore I'm willing to increase my budget. Link to comment
