Priceline airfare from MSP to LAS 8/1-8/5

[Stewpac]

I've never used priceline for airfare and just had a question.

The cheapest flights I'm finding are for around $250-$260 which isn't bad but would like to get it around $200. The main problem is that the return flight that is the cheapest leaves at 1 A.M. the morning of my last day so I would loose a half day. There are other times that are much better, but cost more. I saw on priceline that all flights depart between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. If I use priceline would this mean that I would be guaranteed not to get that 1 a.m. flight? If so then the only other flights left would be ones that I would much rather take. So, to me I would be guaranteed a better flight time and possibly a lower rate. Is this true, and should I bid lower than $200.

Thank you for any help.

Yes, you won't get that redeye unless you agree to accept such a flight.

Note that you could get a very late flight towards Vegas on 8/1... also cutting the first day of your trip short.

To give up choosing my flight times, i'd need to save more than $50 (imo).
