Congratualtions on your win!

I'm afraid, that for the time being, the sub-$100 successful 5* bids in Vegas are a thing of the past. Foruntatley, $130 is still a great deal for the Venetian in Vegas.

Thanks for the post and enjoy your stay.

The odd thing is that I couldn't even get a 4* for under $100 that weekend but I got the Venetian for $130. I don't know how much more I would have had to bid to get a 4*, but for less than $30 extra I'll take a 5*.
