Hi , can I get your advice on this Priceline express deal ?

choice between     

$66/night    Standard Suite - 4 Beds Requested.
$68/night    Room Assigned At Check-In - Sleeps Two Adults - 1 Bed Requested.
$100/night    King Bed - Suite - 3 Beds Requested.

Top amenities are : ( list is like 100 amenities )
WiFi in Public Areas ,Outdoor Pool ,Fitness Center ,Pets Allowed ,Restaurant ,Non-smoking Rooms

will be one of these 4 hotels , Delano , Waldorf , Aria , Vdara

Book soon! Someone recently got the Aria Resort And Casino

Total charge would be , with the 5% BetterBidding Priceline Coupon , $160.38 and no resort fees mentioned ??

I read on the Priceline site that it is always mentioned what the total is , so no bad surprises ?

Thanks in advance for your advice

As always , started my search with the priceline button on betterbidding

For this Priceline Express hotel offer:

5* The Strip - Southwest (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $66/nite with:
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Fitness Center
==> Delano Las Vegas At Mandalay Bay would be my best guess for this one

 

This hotel does charge a resort fee (just as every other hotel on the strip that i'm aware of... maybe the Travelodge or one of the other budget properties does not, but everything i can think of that is 3 stars or higher is going to charge a resort fee)

Thanks thereuare 

so do you think I will have to pay it , even if it isn’t mentioned in the total rate to pay ? It always shows on the total what you have to pay at the hotel , This is the only one that doesn’t show anything to pay and in the Priceline rules it clearly states that they always put the total amount (  separate payments to them and hotel for almost every Vegas hotel ) , all taxes and fees included .

did you ever have a betterbidding member have problems with that ?

I’ll go back to my Los Angeles thread to close that one

I think you're taking the wording from their bidding page:

No surprises! Total cost includes estimated hotel fees (e.g resort fees). Your total cost will never be higher than displayed above.

While almost all PRICELINE EXPRESS deals show a separate line item for resort fees (where applicable) there are still a few that have either fallen thru the cracks and have not been updated or for some other reason don't show the resort fee on some searches.

 

In short, i do think you will have to pay the resort fee.  You could ultimately argue it with PRICELINE, but i think your chances of getting anywhere in that approach is less than 50/50 (probably closer to less than 10%), as part of the Terms and Conditions on the PRICELINE EXPRESS purchase page indicate that there may be resort fees which would be additional and paid directly to the hotel.

 

As i noted above, just about every hotel on the strip charges resort fees these days... it's something you just need to accept and factor into your budget if you are looking to go to Vegas and stay on the strip.

Found a better deal for $60.00 a night taxes included ,   not for exactly the same dates as this search  ( 05/20 till 05/23 ) but I needed also these days to fill and with the big conference going on , rates are really high on 20 till 22 May . still have to pay resort fees at the hotel but at least it is mentioned  

thanks anyway betterbidding for your help
