Savi424 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 I use Priceline all the time and I usually post my wins here. But now I need some advice please. I need two rooms for 4/29-5/1, Sat. and Sun. nights. I have always gotten the Venetian in the past, but that has usually been midweek at $99. The Venetian website lists both my nights at $279. Hotwire doesn't show any 5* availability for my dates; I checked both nights separately. Do you think PL will have inventory for 5*?I have never bid 4* for Las Vegas but would consider it. Although I would really prefer staying on the strip.I would like to stay at $400 for each room total for the two nights. I have noticed most hotel sites have substantially lower rates for Sunday. I also know that many hotels wont allow a Saturday check-in. Any ideas for me? Thank you!
Savi424 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Posted April 6, 2006 I went ahead a bid $129 for a 5* for 4/29-5/1 and got a counter offer of $268 per night per room. So I guess they do have availability. No savings over the Venetian web site at that price though. I didn't try bidding up with any free rebids yet. Any ideas?
thereuare Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Once rates at the Venetian get to $200+/nite there is often very little savings to be had thru the opaque suppliers.Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

thereuare Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Do you have a back-up at this point?What would happen if you split the bid, getting a hotel for one nite but then bidding up to your limit for the remaining nite (so that the total is $400 for the two nites) and still not successful for the 2nd nite?

Savi424 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 Sorry for the late reply, I am in a remote part of Tulum with limited access to the internet. Regarding my splitting my bid, I think I will raise my limit if I need to. Is there anything else that you can recommend, such as EasyClickTravel? I will spend what I need to because I won't cancel my trip. I sure would like a great deal somewhere though. Thank You.
thereuare Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 You can book the Aladdin for the first nite of your stay ($220/nite) and then book the second nite of your stay thru the Sheraton website (who books the Aladdin) for $89/nite... average cost of $155.This was a quick search and enables you to not have to change hotels (which from your above comments i don't think you want to do)Does that work?

Savi424 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Posted April 13, 2006 Thank you, that sounds like it will work great. I really appreciate your help.
