arbitrageur Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi everyone,Its been a while since I've been on here. Can someone please help me with a bidding strategy for a 4* on the Las Vegas Strip area for one night -- 8/26. The resort in Northwest Las Vegas would be nice too, but I doubt I could get it for $100/night. Thanks in advance Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 We can suggest a strategy for you to try... but i'm doubtful you'll be successful as this is a Saturday nite and a lot of hotels on the strip don't allow Saturday check-in.Do you have a back-up plan?

arbitrageur Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi,I don't have a backup plan yet. Any suggestions? Does the Saturday night check-in rule effect only hotels on the strip? If so, I'm now open to staying West of Strip and Convention Center as well as NW Las Vegas. I'm also willing to increase max bid to $150 for a 4*.I was also wondering if someone could help me identify the north strip hotel from Hotwire below:Details for your 3-star hotel in North Strip $80Hotel Amenities CasinoFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa ServicesThanks.

arbitrageur Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Can someone identify the 4* hotwire hotel in the south strip below? Its priced about $30 more than my max bid price, but might be more realistic for a sat check in. Much appreciated!Details for your 4-star hotel in South Strip $180Hotel Amenities CasinoFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterGolf NearbySpa Services Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Please post with the just the star rating, amenities, and zone rather than just copying pasting the entire offer... the formatting gets messed up and it makes the post and amenities very difficult to read. (i have edited both posts above to clean them up)Thanks. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 The 3* is a match for the Riviera while the 4* is a match for Treasure Island, so those would be our best guesses for each.If you book either, please start your purchase with this HOTWIRE link.However, if you're considering the 4* above, i think a better option would be the Aladdin for $175 (no booking fee so about $10 cheaper than what you're considering above) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
headtrip Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I just checked another Vegas request for this weekend, and rooms will be in short supply because the Magic Expo starts the following Monday at the LV Convention Center, with annual attendence of over 100,000. I agree with thereuare is that you better look at other alternatives as most major hotel properties will be booked. Link to comment
arbitrageur Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi,I started bidding yesterday at $155, 160, 165 -- all rejected.Started bidding today at $169 and accepted at the Monte Carlo. Used savingsbarn, as I have in the past.I would have picked the Aladdin using the link Thereuare sent me (finally worked out the bugs on my computer), but I read a few reviews and thought that the construction might not be very visitor friendly at this time.Thanks for your help.Check-In Date: Saturday, August 26, 2006 Check-Out Date: Sunday, August 27, 2006 Hotel Name: Monte Carlo Resort And Casino3770 Las Vegas Boulevard South Las Vegas, Nevada 89109 702-730-7777Summary of Charges Your Offer Price: $169.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $169.00 Taxes and Service Fees: $26.43 Total Charges: $195.43 Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Congratulations on your success... and a new hotel for the Pricleine Hotel List as we haven't seen this hotel come up thru Priceline yet!I used to recommend this hotel a LOT as it was often available for great rates thru EasyClickTravel, but then the Monte Carlo stopped giving them inventory and really good deals were tough to find at this property. Gald to see it come up on priceline and hopefully it will be frequently avaialble (although many will still have trouble bidding in hopes of avoiding the slightly off-strip Westin).Thanks for starting your bid with the SavingsBarn.com links :)Good Luck and have a great time in Vegas!
