I've never ued priceline before and I just happend to come across this wonderful site.Does anyone have advice for a newbie? Link to comment
JETStender Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Bid $45 in the south strip, you might get lucky and get Planet Hollywood for those dates.Otherwise you need to give more information, like where you want to stay, and how much your willing to spend. Link to comment
yellowdog Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 calgal81 - Welcome to BetterBidding and congratulation!!Please read this link to start with: I've Never Used Priceline or HotwireLike JETStender said. The board needs to know what zones you're willing to stay in. Star level at hotel and your nightly budget.Start with posting the required info.Henrik. Link to comment
calgal81 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Whoops!! Ok sorry about that one.We're looking to stay on either the south or north strip no real preference. I'm just wondering with the limit we have which area would be better.As far as our budget goes we're looking to spend no more than $180 per night for a 4**** hotel. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 While i'm doubtful the $45 deal at Planet Hollywood is likely to be available for your dates, the good news is that i don't think you're budget is going to be an issue.Before bidding, the first question is are you comfortable winning the Westin? It is a 4* hotel in Priceline's South Strip zone, but it is not on the strip directly (although most find it a relatively easy walk to the strip).Some other options in your budget:Luxor for $110/niteTreasure Island for $139/niteDo either of these interest you?

calgal81 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I know my fiancee is set on staying on the strip but if we look up the Westin he might change his mind. I'll have to share this with him and go from there. The only thing that worries me is geting stuck with a room at the Luxor that's why I've told him the South would be better to bid on instead of the north, or did I get those mixed up? Link to comment

calgal81 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Actually before I had the priceline idea we were looking at Treasure Isalnd, it was at the top of our list. Link to comment
calgal81 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Actually before I had the priceline idea we were looking at Treasure Isalnd, it was at the top of our list.he talked me into splurgin a little. We are forgoing our idead of using priceline and just booked directly with TI, he was on a roll becuase he convinced me to book a ptetite suite. Well you only get married once (well at least we only plan on getting married once ;-) Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 As per our support page we're an affilaite of Treasure Island... please use our links.Also, without looking at your dates or knowing what you paid for the Petite Suite, i'd also consider trying to beat that rate with by bidding for a 5* hotel, trying to land the Veneitan or Palazzo.
