bidder123 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Posted September 18, 2007 What is your maximum bid/budget (per nite) for this stay?approx 150/weekend and 100/weekday
thereuare Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 For a 5* i don't think you're in the right ballpark price-wise. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
bidder123 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Posted September 19, 2007 For a 5* i don't think you're in the right ballpark price-wise.How about 4*?
thereuare Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Probably in the right area for the weeknites, but maybe not for the Saturday... many hotels don't allow Saturday check-in so the universe of potential acceptors is reducted.Did you want to try bidding for the complete stay first, or for the Sun-Wed portion of your stay? If you're ready to bid now, are you willing to accept both the North and South strip zones?

bidder123 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Posted September 19, 2007 On Expedia, there is a huge price difference for Sat compared to the rest of the days. I will definitely be open to breaking it up. I am ready to bid and both zones are fine.
thereuare Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 I forgot one more question...Are you ok with the Westin, which is included in Priceline's South Strip zone, but is slightly off-strip. (i'm assuming it's fine since you said both zones were acceptable, but wanted tomake sure you realized there is an off-strip hotel within the strip zone) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
thereuare Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones. (NOTE: Summerlin is NOT one of them). 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.For 10/7-10/10...Select 4* South Strip...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* North Strip...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* South Strip and North Strip...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85.Any questions feel free to ask.If rejected post back and we'll revise to try again in 24 hours.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

bidder123 Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Posted September 19, 2007 Shouldn't be any difference if I do the north zone first, then south zone?
thereuare Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 No <major> difference.I thought your chances were slightly better in the South zone so i suggested starting there. I doubt this situation to be the case, but assume that the North zone has a hotel at $70 and the South zone has a hotel at $60... bidding the North zone first you'd risk a $10 overbid since the hotel South zone did have a hotel $10 cheaper. A very subtle difference, which is likely a 'non-factor' in the above, but that would be the only difference.If you prefer the North zone i would certainly start there first.

bidder123 Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Posted September 20, 2007 All bids failed. I was countered with 108 for south zone.

thereuare Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Once your 24 hour lock-out expires i'd try as follows:Select 4* South Strip...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* North Strip...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.Select 4* South Strip and North Strip...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105.If you're not willing to go as high as $105 you can just stop with the previous $100 bid.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

bidder123 Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Posted September 22, 2007 Bid accepted at $95 for Luxor. 10/7-10/10.I was given the option to extend my stay at the same hotel, which I thought was at 95. It came back with $278 for 10/6 at Luxor which I declined.Thanks for your help. Now gotta figure out what to do about 10/6. Maybe hit the 3* hotels.
thereuare Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing the results with the board!Glad to hear you were successful within your budget.If you'd like help with the remaining nite of your stay please start a NEW TOPIC.Thanks, and enjoy your stay.
