Priceline Hotel: Venetian Help needed 9/29-10/3

[Formosan]

Any idea what price I should bid for the Venetians? Hotwire is showing $393 per night, though last night was $227. Any chance I can get it for around $150 to $180? I still have alot of time to bid, any idea whether the price will drop as the dates get closer?

Should I wait?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Extremely doubtful... i'd also probably say you're porbably not even close.

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Are you willing to spend nearly $400/nite on a 5* hotel on the strip (which i'll also remind you isn't guaranteed to be the Venetian... you're not bidding on a specific hotel, but rather a 5* hotel in the Strip zone)

You can use this link to book the Venetian for $303/nite... and it's cancellable up until a few days before your stay so you can continue to try to better your deal as your dates approach. :)

Somewhere in this board, someone mentioned that September is high season for Convention in Vegas. Is this true? If so, I guess I am going to have to pay more for the hotels in general?

Do you have specific dates in mind?

I am looking at 9/28-10/4.

Thanks.

Rates don't seem out of line for that time period so i wouldn't expect any major problems... especially if you're willing to SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID.

Are you ready to make a purchase now? If so, let us know your budget and minimum star rating and we'll suggest some ideas.

I am hoping to stay at a 5* or least a 4* hotel at $150 or less. At this point it appears unlikely, but hope time is on my side.
