Hotwire Hotel: center strip question

[donvic]

hi all,

newbe hear. nice to be a part of the forum.

have a question about priceline bidding.

if you bid for a two star hotel: can your bid be

accepted for a 3 star hotel(even if you do not mark

anything but 2 star)?

though not typical i find i like the 2 star much better than

the 3 star hotel. and am wondering if i can safely bid for

the 2 star.

any ideas?

thanks all.

When you select a star rating, this is the minimum that you are willing to accept, so you could be upgraded to a 2.5* or 3* Hotel.

[donvic]

dahammer and all,

thanks for info.

Please list the full amenities that HOTWIRE shows as well as the date(s) of your stay.

....as well as the date(s) of your stay

[donvic]

This property has not yet been identified, but the Flamingo has been seen with more amenities than just the above, so i don't think that is a likely outcome.

What is your nightly budget for this stay?

[donvic]

thereuare,

of course, your correct.

can not find any 3 star hotels matching

these 7 aminities.

this offering was $66.....which is about at the

top of our price range.

thanks again for all your help.

has been fun.

Maybe the Imperial Palace?

You could also consider the Tropicana within your price range... however, bumping your budget a little to another $10/nite to the Excalibur would give you your best bet (there is no booking fee when using this Excalibur link, so their $81/nite rate is only ~$10 more than HOTWIRE's $66/nite when looking at actual 'total cost')

If you do take the Hotwire offer please use this HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase (otherwise use the other link(s) in this thread).

Let us know what you ultimately decide to do or if we can be of further help.

[donvic]

thereuare,

thanks for all your help.

what i did was clicked your HOTWIRE link.

then saved the hotwire home page to my favorites.

this way, when i use hotwire in the future...

you get credit.....right??

hope this is how it works.

NO!!!

You must click our HOTWIRE link before each visit to their site... not bookmarking the ensuing hotwire page.

You can bookmark our support page or just bookmark BetterBidding itself and start your searches using our search box on the top left corner of the page (or click the HOTWIRE logo within that search box).

Did you make a decision for the above Las Vegas stay?

[donvic]

thereuare,

ok. got it now.

thanks,

[donvic]

to cut and paste the info here.

thanks again,

[donvic]

thereuare,

hi. just saw our new update for

center strip. thus, my best guess

would be aladdin or maybe ceasars.

the listing shows spa services in hotel details.

thanks again,

donvic

[thereuare]

If you go back to HOTWIRE and do your search again, when presented with this property click "hotel details" or "continue" and on the next page you'll see the SPA amenity icon.

Please remember to use our HOTWIRE link for your searches and purchases.

[donvic]

thereuare,

here is most recent info on feb5-8 center strip......

3 stars for $47/night

Hotel Amenities

Casino

Fitness Center

Pool(s)

Restaurant(s)

Business Center

High-speed Internet Access

Spa Services

hard to figure out. only 3 stars we have listed is flamingo.....

however our listing has golf included in amenities.

thereuare, do you still think it could be flamingo???

thanks again,

donvic

[thereuare]

I don't think it's the Flamingo...

but note that you can now book the Exaclibur for $51/nite (and would be cheaper than the HOTWIRE hotel above after their fee is included).

If you can expand your budget the Monte Carlo is available for $73 and gives you a nice jump in quality.

Please use the links in this post to begin any purchases you make (or our HOTWIRE link if you go that route)

Let us know what you decide of if we can help further.

[donvic]

thereuare,

hi. yes those are very good prices.

really liked the hotwire listing....

3 stars for $47/night and the location is where we

wanted to be....center strip.

3 stars center is usully imerial palace....at that price.

however do not even see ip listed as a hotwire hotel.

thanks for all your help,

Above i guessed that this might be the Imperial Palace, but this property has never been reported on the board as a 'win' (which is why it doesn't appear in the Hotwire Hotel List)... so not sure where you're getting your info that the above is usually the IP.

If you do go for it you can be the first to report it to the board... please use this HOTWIRE link if you do.
