kym_vegas Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I was hoping someone could identify the following and also advise if The Flamingo is an option to win on Hotwire. If so, can you then upgrade to the GO rooms once you've won?30 Sep 07 - 6 Oct 074* south strip$115/night (Retail $174)ResortCasinoFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(sBusiness CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa Services4* Central Strip$165/night (Retail $187.33)CasinoFitness CenterPool(s)Restaurant(s)Business CenterHigh-speed Internet AccessGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa Services3.5* South Strip$106/night (no retail given)ResortCasinoFitnessPoolRestaurantBusiness CenterInternetGolf NearbyTennis NearbySpa Services3.5* in Central strip$142/night (no retail given)CasinoFitnessPoolRestaurantInternetGolf NearbySpa ServicesThanks.

thereuare Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!Each of the above is a match for the following so these would be our best guesses:1) Luxor2) Aladdin (but Paris and Caesers have the same amenities, so could be either of those too, but usually it's the Aladdin)3) Monte Carlo4) HarrahsOf th eabove i think the Aladdin (offically today "Planet Hollywood") is the best hotel of the group and centrally located. However, if you're into pool areas then Monte Carlo has one of the better ones on the strip.If you do like the Aladdin, note that you can book it here: Aladdin for $150/nite (please use this previous link). There is no booking fee so about $20 cheaper than the HOTWIRE offer above, but more importantly it's also cancellabel up until a few days before your check-in date so you can continue to search for a better deal should one become available.If you opt to go with one of the other offers please use our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help.

kym_vegas Posted April 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hmmm I was really hoping one them might be the Flamingo. Does Hotwire use the Flamingo? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 What is it about the Flamingo that makes you want that property? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
kym_vegas Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Just like the look of the GO rooms and the pool and the theme of the hotel. Location also. Not sure really. It's my first and possibly only time to Vegas. I am from Australia, and it's just the room I want. I think I may have to just book the room at the normal rate to get this room though. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'm a fan of the Flamingo, but at $200+ per nite for these dates i think you can do much better. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
kym_vegas Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks, I know I can do much better. Maybe I should wait and see if the rooms get cheaper at the Flamingo... Although I've been told September is ripe for conventions?! Link to comment
kym_vegas Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 So after seeing a few people get the Venetian for $120/per night, I thought I'd try my luck at something similar. I don't mind paying as much as $170/night but if I could get it under $150 I'd be stoked.Dates: 9/30/2007 Sunday >> 10/6/2007 SaturdayThe Sunday night is showing $300 for the night, and the rest are showing $500 per night.What's a good starting bid? Should I split the bid at all? Link to comment
kym_vegas Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Ok, so I had a crack at this myself.Tried all dates, no splitting:$120 - rejectedAdd free rebid zone$125 - rejectedAdd free rebid zone$130 - rejectedAdd free rebid zone$135 rejectedAdd free rebid zone$140 rejectedWill wait for further assistance from yourselves.

yellowdog Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 kym_vegas,your maximum bid is not realistic comparing to the hotels rack rate. I think you should re-consider your rating and budget for your stay. And you can't compare rates in the past with your upcoming stay. There is a big difference on low seasson/high season, weekday and weekend, nights of stay etc. PL is not that easy sometimes. I'm no expert on Las Vegas but I have understood that sometimes are there many circumstance involved with bidding at LV.also take a look at HOTWIRE for you dates if they have any dealsGood luck!Henrik.

kym_vegas Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Yeah, the rack rate is very high for my stay. Is it likely to come down in the coming months? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.Thanks. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
