Priceline Hotel: 1.5* or better 4/5-4/8

[tulric04]

I am looking for a 1.5*> hotel in Vegas from 4/5-4/8.

I would prefer on the strip, or as close as I can get, but am not opposed to staying further out.

I have looked all over the place and rates are all extremely high & most rooms are sold out.

Hotels.com advertises a lot of prices, but when you click on availability is says they are sold out.

Expedia was the same.

Hotwire only had a few options as well.

I am willing to pay $200 a night if needed, but would prefer to spend ~100.

Is there any good places to check availability?

Sorry for the last minute request, but I wasn't anticipating having problems.

Have you considered SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID?

If so, DO NOT bid again as you have above, since you've basically eliminated all of your avaialble zones... we'll suggest a strategy to follow if splitting your bid is acceptable.

With most hotels sold-out and near capacity i don't think you'll find much success anywhere near your $100 preference, since there is no reason for the hotels to offer deep discount to opaque suppliers (if they offer inventory at all).

Yes. Splitting is an option.

4/5 - One night

4/6-4/7 - Two nights would be ideal, but is not necessary.

Availability for Vegas this week is terrible! Sounds like there are a couple conventions hosing things up.

I got a little anxious and went ahead and booked the Tropicana for $255 a night for 4/6-4/8 on www.Hotels.com

With availability so low, I wanted to assure a room.

I'm still looking at something for 4/5.

The best option I currently have found is:

America Best Value Inn & Suites @ $140

Please help on a bidding strategy for 4/5. Ready to bid.

As stated before. I'd like to find something near the strip, but am open to others.

Forgot to add Americas Best Value is a 2*
