Priceline Hotel: 3* Las Vegas (Convention Center) Marriott Suites

[AztecWolverine]

:) (NOTE: I wrote this to Murph in the Hotwire thread. It was for a weekend in March, a high period. For midweek, non- big convention times, you could start your bidding at $52 then up to $58, then $65, then $75, then $85, etc. depending on how much time you have to spend). Make sure you check the convention checker first -- if there is a large 10,000+ convention prices go up, and during huge conventions of 35000+, even more. During the Summer prices drop, and $43 bids were won in the Summer of '05.

I noticed you were disappointed in a Vegas hotel in the past , and were willing to stay in the West and South areas. This indicates to me that you are not hung-up on the Strip. Therefore, here is my recommendation:

Bid on Priceline 2 1/2 *, Conv Center UNLV area, $58. If rejected, check and make sure that Nellis still only has one and two stars available. Then add Nellis to your areas for a rebid, and up the bid to $65. If rejected, either wait 72 hours, and bid $75 and $85, or start a brand new bid and bid 2 1/2 * West of Strip $50--if rejected add Nellis, and make it $58. People have gotten the Courtyard By Marriott South in this region. If rejected, wait 72 hours. Don't bid Airport, or other areas, but if you are willing to stay Downtown -- people have been getting the 4* Nugget for as low as about 45 or 50. I think their pool is closed, not sure.

Good Luck!

Here are my two wins:

Please only post one win per thread so that the details of each win can be reflected in the topic title of the thread. This makes it easier for users scanning the forum titles to know what information is inside, and also keeps all the topic titles on the board in the same format.

I'll edit this title to reflect the Marriott Suites win, please start a NEW TOPIC to reflect the other win.

Thank you.
