Priceline Hotel: Las Vegas Feb 15-18

[avniassa]

Hi there,

We're kinda new to Better Bidding and read all the threads on how to start but we were wondering if anyone has a recommendation for something around the $60/night preferably on the central strip or something in walking distance? We read a few posts for good results with Aladdin but do you think it can be done on Valentine's weekend?

We don't mind walking if the other areas are in walking distance but we'd rather get a good hotel for the cheapest price.

Thanks

Julia and Dave

By the way, we tried priceline with 3,4,5 stars on the strip for $60 and got this msg:

"Thank You for Naming Your Own Price

Please don't double post in the Priceline and Hotwire forums... keep all posts for this stay in this thread and if the other service is ultimately used we'll move the entire thread so that section of the board.

I don't think $60 is a reaonable expectation for a 3* or better on the strip for weekend dates.

Have you seen anything remotely close to this price?

Your above experience means exactly what they're saying:

Unfortunately, we can't accept your offer

Nobody would accept your offer.

we did find special priceline rates available for your travel dates at the hotels shown below

As you were unsuccesful with "name your own price" they're trying to cross-sell you by sending you to the non-opaque version of their site (which is just like any other typical online travel agency). Based upon my comments above, I imagine that the rates for the hotels they were offering were much more than your budget?

I ended up getting a package deal via Travelocity since I had no successful bidding on PRICELINE.

Thanks for the help!
