frugalnotcheap Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Bidding advice...Interested in finding a 4 or 5* hotel room on the strip for May 18 through the 21st. Would prefer to be a bit North. Or if you have any info on good deals that weekend... Link to comment

frugalnotcheap Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Is it realistic to top out at about $125 a night? that's what I would like to do... Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I don't think you have a chance for a 5* at that price, and i'm less than optimistic about a 4* at that price.You can give it a try as follows:At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones available...Select 4* Strip...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125.Any questions freel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

frugalnotcheap Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 A buddy who will be along for the trip booked the Excalibur for $156/night. I was just hoping we could do a little better than that place for about the same (or a little less) rate? Link to comment
