Rick Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 I guess the theory that the Venetian releases rooms only close to the actual date you are traveling is either changing or incorrect!I am going to Vegas July 29 - August 2. Heres how my bidding went. I bid July 29 - Aug 2 at 90.00 /night. Came back with a counter offer of 160/night. I figured, hmmm, let me check individual dates on Hotwire.I saw that Hotwire gave me a price of $117.00/night on July 29. So I decided to try for this one night by itself next.I started at 85.00 and went up to $99.00 which was accepted! Total w/ taxes/fees is 116.05. :) I then tried to add an extra night on July 30 through the help section and was offered an extra night at $179.00! No thanks! :) So next, I figured I'd try for the remaining 3 nights (July 30 - August 2)Started at $99.00 and was counteroffered $155.00 a night. Kept using free re-bid zones and on my very last one I bid $139.00/night. Bam! Accepted!Total price for these three nights is $417.00 + taxes/fees + $53.54 = $470.54Not exactly the lowest price of $99.00/night like some people get. But all nights combined = $586.59 is a pretty sweet deal nonetheless!And, three months away! :o Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Glad to see you're all taken care of and now you only have to concentrate on counting cards until the summer arrives :) It's not that the V only releases inventory close to check-in, it's that the really cheap inventory is usually only released close to check-in.Good Luck in Vegas!
