jagjag Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 In vegas 5/30-6/4, got a good deal Tues-Thurs nights thanks to this forum (Aladdin for $49/nt from this link ) but still in search for Fri-Sat nights. Keeping it at the Aladdin is $199/nt and I'd like to spend about half that. With 3 nights in a good location I'm willing to move farther out for a good deal, but not so far that it's no fun... I haven't been before so I'm not a good judge of fun/price ratio.Basically, do you guys think I should start bidding Priceline now or wait a while and keep shopping around the various specials?Thanks!

nicktres Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 my friend is in about the exact same situtation. The weekend is what he is looking for also. He has talked about the Barbary coast and the Sahara as options or the Stardust. If this is your first time you will definately want ot be on strip or close but for my friend I reccomended Fremont St. Priceline could work as long as you realize the four star for a weekend at that time is going to be in the 200 or so a night range but if you want diffrent than the alladin that would probably work.

nicktres Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Do you need this room for three nights or two. I am thinking 3. I found Sahara for 249.76 at tripreservations.com Sahara is decent and just a tram ride away from all the action. The Stratosphere can be had at Hotels.com for 227.81 which is awesome, but is so far from the action it is almost off strip. If you are looking for something center strip, Barbary Coast and Imperial Palace are both decent and can be had for around 100 a night. Barbary coast at 286.67 for the three nights from travelworm.com andImperial Palace which would be my choice for 289.94 from www.lvtb.com. The Barbary coast is nice but has no pool some people don't use pools anyway. Hope this helps Link to comment
klmrph Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 You can get Bally's for $127.50 per night for that Friday and Saturday. Here's how you do it. You book these rooms thru Bally's which are $239,329. They will charge your credit card for the first night and it is totally cancelable, so if you did find something better you could cancel this. You then follow their rules and use their best rate guarantee and they will match the lower rate from worldres.com plus give you an additional 25% off the lowest rate you find. You have to submit this request within 24 hours by fax or email. You need to send them screen shots from worldres.com confirmations page. Worldres.com has these rooms for $170 per night, so 75% of this is $127.50, not bad for a weekend night in the middle of the strip. I did this for a friend of mine and it worked without any problems. Many others have used this strategy also with great success. Link to comment
jagjag Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sounds like a good tip, unfortunately when I go to worldres.com I don't see Bally's or any other big name hotel. If I search specifically for Bally it says they are no longer taking reservations... Do you have a different link that allows you to do this? Link to comment
klmrph Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 That is so strange. It worked for me this morning and its showed as available. This happened a couple weeks ago and then in a couple of days, it was taking reservations again. Keep trying. Paris was available this morning too and is now not accepting reservations.

belgo Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 My guess is that they fixed the "25% problem" promptly after they have wind of it. Link to comment
klmrph Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Another site to get lower rates at. www.nhrb.com has better rates than Bally's website for your dates, so you could submit a request using this sites lower price. nhrb.com has Bally's for $166.05 per night, so if you use Bally's guarantee, you could get these nights for $124.54 per night, even better than worldres.com. Let us know if you go for it, really you have nothing to loose since Bally's rooms are refundable. This would also work for Flamingo using nhrb.com, rate for Flamingo are 162.50 for your dates, so you would pay 75% of that, or if you really want to spend a little extra, even Caesars is coming up cheaper than their own website, Caesars is $198,186 for your dates. All of these properties have the guarantee. Link to comment
klmrph Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Ok, so found even a better deal. $90 per night for your dates at the Flamingo. Look under weekend warrior packages. Here is the link.Flamingo Link to comment
