vitasoy1437 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi, i m looking for the best deal on a 4* hotel on the strip... this is my first time here... i hv used PL once be4.... it was ok... but i guess it would be better w/ advice from more experienced users like u guys... this is kind of last minute and that day probably will be pretty packed... but i m hoping to find a good deal on a good place to stay on the strip... i've checked the rates on places like Travelocity,Expedia,and PL... the $ range from 170-300 for a 3* - 4* hotel... is it possible to bid a 4* on the strip for 130??? please advise.....!!!

yellowdog Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 vitasoy1437 - Welcome to betterbidding!Take it easy here! Rates are not that high yet for you date. We are talking one night (7/4)? No need for a 3* if your budget is $130. I looked at HOTWIRE for your stay and found a 4* at $109 at Central Strip. There is a clean match for Caesars Palace. But Alladin and Paris has also been reported with theese/simular amenities. There is several options at HOTWIRE so take a look there. If you decide to go with HW so please use the boards HOTWIRE link.But I saw a 5* at $223, likley the Venetian. So I checked the rates and best rate is $199 at hotels site. If you want to gamble for any 5*, try Priceline for $125-$141 at 5*. Or your max is $130? If it is, try up untill your max.also, please read this about Re-bidding: http://www.betterbidding.com/show.php/showtopic/16 And have a look at top of the hotel list for Nevada.Just ask if you need any further help.Good luck!Henrik.

cntrfieldsmom Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 His title says July 7th, that is a weekend night and a big difference. I've been trying for that 4 day period and many of the rates are 3-400. Link to comment
vitasoy1437 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 thanks for the adivece! I saw posts that says hotwire's stars rating r overrated so i m afraid it maybe sth different...PL seems to hv a better chance of getting sth better..caesars, PH and paris r fine and even better if i can bid for venetian..so for the 5* , i would start bidding from 125?what abt the 4* ones?

thereuare Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 For a 4* on the strip $130 is probably a bit optimistic... but you can certainly do better than $300-$400... and likely better than $200.What is your maximum bid?

yellowdog Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 vitasoy1437 ,I'm sorry! I red your topic like your date was 7/4. I live overseas, and we write the dates backwards comparing to USA. I must had a balckout :) Good luck,Henrik Link to comment
vitasoy1437 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 the best one i found was $171 for LV hilton from AAA...i guess that would be my max bid for a 4*... it doesnt necessarily has to be on the main strip... since the hilton is near the end by the stratosphere... but it would be great if i can have one on the main strip :) please advise the steps thank yoU!

dahammer Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 the best one i found was $171 for LV hilton from AAA...please note that BetterBidding has a link to the Hilton, just use the Travel Links to Help Support BetterBidding Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 it doesnt necessarily has to be on the main strip... since the hilton is near the end by the stratosphereIt's not only off the trip but also somewhat West of the strip, so if you're using this as your maximum bid it's fine, but really not an apples-to-apples comparison. If you'd be happy with the Hilton that's fine and we'll suggest a strategy with a $170 maximum bid, but just making sure you understand that the Hilton really doesn't fit the criteria you laid out in your first post.Let us know and we'll advise accordingly. If you could get something center-strip for $200 would it be worthwhile? I'm assuming that you're also OK with the Westin (which is also located slightly off-strip, although much more centrally located than the Hilton) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
vitasoy1437 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I think 170 is my max bid... coz i m sharing w/ a few other ppl, and their budget is pretty tightthe westin is fine for me.... at least its a name that i know so it shouldnt be that bad...the hilton location is not bad actually... at least its kinda far away from all those traffic jam in the center strip... so i can use a different route than just the LV blvd...how should i do it? start with the strip vicinity w/ 4* and add fermont area if faiL?please advisethanks!

thereuare Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 One more point (based upon your most recent post) before moving forward....Priceline only guarantees double occupancy. You could get a room with only one bed and/or the hotel could charge extra for any occupants more than two (and in Vegas this charge is getting outrageous... $15-$30/per person per nite).Is this something you're willing to accept?
