Priceline Hotel: Stay including Friday night: help please

[timetraveler]

I'm planning a trip that will put us in Las Vegas 9/6 - 9/9. It might be too early to bid for a hotel, but it's time to buy plane tickets, so I have a decision to make now.

I'd expected to buy a Las Vegas 4* or 5* hotel on Priceline, but after reading some posts here, I have a concern:

Might my bid be rejected or might I be forced to bid too much because many hotels' prices for Friday night are much higher than Wednesday and Thursday? Would I then have to split my bid and possibly end up in two different hotels?

If I want to use Priceline, would it be best for me to rearrange our trip so that we only need a hotel on week nights?

Any other suggestions?

Unless there is a major convention in town, midweek nites will almost always be much cheaper than weekend nites. If budget is a concern, make your plans for midweek dates and at at time when there are few conventioneers in town.
