Priceline Hotel: Las Vegas strip help express deals

[grannyp]

We need last minute lodging for Wed Feb 7 for one night, 2 people, in Las Vegas.  I see a 4 star central East Las Vegas Strip for $32 and a 4 star NE Strip for $31.  There's also a 5 star NW Strip for $80 and a 5 Star SW Strip for $80.  I know we'll have to add resort fees so am leaning toward the 4 star.  Amenities listed for all of them are similar.  (casino, restaurant, pool)  The amenities are not too important for us since it is only a one night stay.  We just want a non smoking room with a comfortable bed.  We'd stay off strip except that I'd like to look around a bit.

I now see that the 5 star SW Strip is not showing as a casino hotel, so likely Vdara, correct?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please include the full details of each property that you would like us to have a look at (star rating, zone, amenities, and room rate per nite) and we will have a look.  Although the amenities may not be important to you for this trip, it's critical for us when researching your options.

 

It's not clear if you're just passing thru town and need a room for one nite OR if you need to add a nite to the beginning/end of a longer trip that is already booked, nor is it clear if you've been to Vegas before, but if this is your first trip and this is just a one nite stay i would highly recommend you stay directly on-strip if your budget will allow it, especially if you like to walk around and explore.

 

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.

 

Let us know the information above and we'll take it from there.

We've been to Las Vegas before but it has been several years.  We are passing through en route to Pomona, CA.  We'll arrive sometime late afternoon Feb 7 and depart the following morning so it would be nice to have easy access to I-15.  I've never seen the Bellagio fountain show (when we were in Las Vegas last time, it was very windy and the shows were cancelled)  We might arrive early enough to find last minute tickets to a show of some kind, but we'll at least have dinner and wander around a bit.   Yes, I'd probably like to stay directly on strip in a casino hotel, as I may want to play in the casino after hubby goes to bed.  So if off strip, I want a casino on site.  I'm willing to try some bidding or take a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal or even an advertised price if it is well priced because I know I'll have to add resort fees and possibly a fee to park.   It looks like we aren't coming during a particularly high rate time, so am hoping to take this opportunity to stay somewhere nicer than we'd usually stay, (what can I say....DH thinks Super 8 is an upgrade, lol, but he loves a good deal) at a bargain rate.  

 

I'm seeing several Express Deal options:

4 star NE strip casino hotel   (similar W, Linq, Flamingo)  $31 

Business Center    CasinoCasino    Fitness Center 

Non Smoking     Restaurant    Swimming Pool

 

4 star Central East Casino hotel   $32  "Situated adjacent to the beautiful Fountains at Bellagio, this high-powered spot is home to iconic casinos and entertainment. Its location along the Strip ensures all-day (and all-night) activities and adventures."   similar Bally's, Paris, Cromwell  

Business Center    CasinoCasino    Fitness Center

 

Non Smoking    Restaurant    Swimming Pool

 

4 star SW strip for $28  similar Monte Carlo, Luxor,  NYNY 

Bed Choice     Business Center    Casino

 

Fitness Center   Non Smoking     Restaurant

 

4 star NW strip $42 (similar Mirage, Treasure Island, Hilton)

Bed Choice    Business Center      CasinoCasino

 

Fitness Center      Non Smoking      Restaurant

 

4 star SE strip casino hotel $42  AHA!  This one has free parking!  (similar MGM Grand , Tropicana)

Free Parking   Bed Choice   Business Center    CasinoCasino

 

Fitness Center   Non Smoking    Swimming Pool    Swimming Pool

 

There are also a number of 4.5 star and 5 star Express Deals but they seem to be running $80-100 or so, and once you add on taxes, parking, resort fees, we'd be up around $150 or more.  We'd pay that and be glad of it in some places but in Las Vegas I feel like we should be able to find something for less that will work well for us.  

 

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you so much!   Paris is the one that in the description says it is near the Bellagio? 

  I will look up what resort fees are and what they include, what parking fees are, etc.    

[grannyp]

Thank you ever so much for this service.  I will recommend it to others.  In my case, I did quite a bit of comparing and reading reviews to make a decision.  It was difficult to compare since the different hotels have different additional charges for parking, internet access, and resort fees.  I was able to get a better rate overall with free parking and free internet and AARP discount at Tropicana by booking direct with the hotel.  (That's not often the case!)

Thank you for closing this thread with your decision.

I did see the Tropicana offered as one of the 'opaque' hotels while i was researching, but i didn't list it as it is not nearly as nice as the others mentioned, and with the hotel already being so inexpensive for your nite it's not worth the $10-$15 savings, imo.
