Priceline Hotel: 4* Las Vegas (Strip South) Planet Hollywood

[SK524]

I see that others have won the PH for much cheaper in Jan/Feb but I understand the prices have been going up for March, and this is a busy weekend (big car show at the speedway and probably other stuff too), and this is for 3 rooms ... so this may not be the best win but we're happy with it, as it's still a better price-location-quality combination than we would have gotten booking direct at lesser hotels. And to stay at PH by booking direct would have been over $200/night average for the weekend. So I consider this a success!

Here's what I did:

1. Linked in through SavingsBarn.com :)

2. Bid $85 for Strip South, rejected. Priceline offered me $125; didn't take it.

3. Added re-bid zone (Nellis), bid $99, rejected.

4. Added re-bid zone (Airport), bid $105, rejected. (I was a bit surprised at this, but realized it's a weekend & only a few weeks away...)

5. Added re-bid zone (Summerlin), bid $115, accepted: Planet Hollywood.

I didn't ask for specific advice for this but have been reading and using your tips to others, plus the help you guys gave me as a priceline newbie last summer. So THANKS very much for this site; it's very appreciated!

Congratulations on your success!

Las Vegas, perhaps more than any other city, is driven by conentions. While the general wisdom is that midweek is cheap and weekends are expensive, there is a LOT of exceptions to the rule based upon conventions. Versus a conventional booking this looks to be a great deal.

Glad to hear you're happy with the results and that the information on the board has been helpful to you. Thank you for sharing your win and for using the PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay...and good luck in vegas.
