Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (The Strip - Southwest) Aria Resort And Casino

[mattsy]

Hi there,

 

I'm just happened to stumble upon this site and am looking for help to book Las Vegas strip for either Bellagio/Aria/Cosmo (Vdara is ok too) for Oct. 3 - Oct. 8 2019.

 

I tried a bid for $100 CAD to see how others are getting the amenities list and was rejected but got this list:

Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Restaurant, Fitness Center, Guest Score 7/10 or Higher.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Through the Express Deals they're showing 2 options:

• 5* Casino Hotel
• $193 USD
• The Strip - Central West
• Amenities
  • Free Internet Access
  • Bedding
  • Business Center
  • Casino
  • Fitness Center
  • No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
  • Pets Allowed
  • Restaurant
  • Swimming pool

 

• 5*
• $155 USD
• The Strip - Southwest
• Amenities
  • Bedding
  • Business Center
  • Casino
  • Fitness Center
  • No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
  • Restaurant
  • Swimming Pool

Any thoughts on which hotels these could be and if through bidding can get even more savings?

Welcome back... you've actually been a member here since 2011 (see your previous thread here).  Please remember to follow-up your threads with your wins/decisions as you make them (even if you don't ultimately use PRICELINE / HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc) as this help keep the board better organized and more useful for everyone... as well as being a courtesy to anyone who took the time to help with your travel plans.

Search using our BiddingHelper.com tool and you will see the offers (from both PRICELINE EXPRESS and HOTWIRE) along with prices, amenities, etc.

 

Do you have a maximum budget in mind (per nite before fees/taxes) as your $100CAD doesn't appear to be close to having success for this trip (not sure if this was your 'real' budget or if you were just trying to see how to get the amenities associated with the offer)... you're more likely looking in the $130-$145 USD for one of the hotels that you're looking for above; is this within your budget?

If you bid for a hotel room (and NOTE that as you probably have had trouble finding the bidding page of the priceline website we have set up the following for quickest/easiest access: BiddingForHotelRooms.com) how do you intend to target the hotels you mention above (and avoid any that you don't want)?

 

For the two offers above:

5* The Strip - Northeast (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $150/nite with:
Free Parking
Airport Shuttle
Fitness Center
Pets Allowed
Restaurant
Free Internet available
Free Internet
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Casino
==> Palazzo

... note that i believe this one is different than the description you posted above, i believe THIS ONE is the $155/nite property you're seeing and i think that one is Venetian

You're right! My husband instructed me to try here so I guess he has been here before haha!

 

I've referenced your post on how to bid for our target hotels and will utilise that to keep increasing our bid. $130-140 USD seems reasonable for our budget including the fees and taxes.

Just to clarify, my post above targets the hotels indicated by using the links provided, which are from PRICELINE EXPRESS and are before fees/taxes.

 

If you intend to bid for a hotel room how do you plan to target the hotels you listed and avoid the any you don't want?

I see. I'm not sure. I'm picking Strip Central West and Strip SouthWest for the zones that have these hotels and for every additional bid I've been including zones that do not have any 5* hotels. Do you have any suggestions?

 

 

[thereuare]

First, is your budget $140USD including all fees/taxes (and including resort fees) or is $140 based upon the room rate alone?

Looks like i highlighted the wrong PRICELINE EXPRESS offer, as i showed a hotel in the Strip Northeast zone while you inquired about a hotel in the Strip-Southwest zone,, for the one you originally inquired about:

5* The Strip - Southwest (<-- CLICK HERE and confirm your dates on the landing page) for $155/nite with:
Business Center
Restaurant
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Casino
Fitness Center
==> Aria is my best guess for this one

Understood, but what about something like the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas which is also 5 star rated and in the Strip Southwest zone... but is not included in your list of acceptable hotels above?  Would this (or any other 5 star hotel not in your list above) be an acceptable outcome?
