TravelTea Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 I would like to get a Resort (e.g. the JW Marriott in Summerlin, as this is the only zone that currently offers Resort). Did not see too many posted wins for Resorts (as most people desire to stay on/near the strip). I need 2 rooms & the JW Marriott web rate = $194/night (for 8/12 to 8/14).- How much would it take to win a Resort?- Would Resort bidding be influenced by the finicky pricing of the strip hotels?- My max budget is $120/night, possible?- May be too early to bid for Resort?I also checked Hotwire & no resorts are offered for my dates.Any comments/feedback is very much appreciated. :) Thank you!
thereuare Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 I'm doubtful that $120 will be enough, but hopefully you can prove me wrong :)You have six re-bid zones at the Resort level in Vegas. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select Resort Summerlin...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

TravelTea Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Posted May 3, 2007 Started bidding on PL using the SavingsBarn.com link w/ this strategy:Summerlin: $90 <rejected>Add Conv Ctr: $95 <rejected>Add Fremont: $100 <rejected>Add Henderson: $105 <rejected>Add Airport: $110 <rejected>Add Nellis: $115 <rejected>Add W of Strip: $120 <rejected>No luck, no counter-offers. :) Luckily, I still have plenty of time for bidding; will try again. Patience is a Virtue. Or maybe increase my budget (closer to travel date)?Will also monitor the (Resort) JW Marriott's web price (to see if it goes up or down).Thanks so much for your help!
thereuare Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks for trying thru the SB links :)I think you currently need to be in the $135-$145 area to have success for these dates. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
