Nagilum Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 hi,i am looking for a nice 3* or 4* hotel on the strip for two nights from 05/15 to 05/17.any ideas?? thanks a lot!
mrxow Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Do you care where you stay, specifically? Are you looking for the best possible deal or are you willing to spend a little more to be somewhere nicer? The obvious plan would be to bid on Priceline for a 3 star on the strip. Or 4 star, which might only cost a little more.The people who run this board do know about some good deals you can book directly, if you want to be able to pick where you are going to stay. They might suggest something.If you don't mind giving up 2 hours of your time at some point of your trip, you could do the timeshare presentation thing. They put people up on the strip in 3 star accomodations or better. It looks like a Thursday/Friday stay under these circumstances would cost you effectively about 90 bucks... Just don't buy the timeshare...
Nagilum Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 hi, could somebody help me with this bidding? for what price i could get it??thanks a lot !!!
goblue97 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 You'll want to read the PRICELINE FAQ. Realize with Priceline you cannot bid on a specific hotel, only certain zones.
Nagilum Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 hey man, i am not stupid. i used priceline many times...i asked about a good strategy... the palazzo is a very nice hotel to win too.....
goblue97 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I never called you stupid. But when you put "Venetian" in the subject line it reads as if you are trying to get that, and only that hotel. How much are you willing to spend? I've seen 5* hotels won from as low as $115 to $170. Also check the rates with the hotel directly.
Nagilum Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Posted March 4, 2008 ok no prob. my limit is i think 160,- +tax.....
hl23 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 ok no prob. my limit is i think 160,- +tax.....if my pricing model is correct and your weekend day is 'priced' as per the previous you should pay $158, ( see my win from yesterday @ Venetian)
goblue97 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I'm not the moderator but I'll give it a whirl.Start your bid using the PRICELINE link provided by this board.Start bidding with 5* North Strip @ 120 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 1 and bid @125 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 2 and bid @130 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 3 and bid @135 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 4 and bid @140 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 5 and bid @145 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 6 and bid @155 if rejected then,Add free rebid zone 7 and bid @160.
Nagilum Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 no success with bidding up to 160$..... :)
blindman Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 You may have a problem with this being a Friday night and you only want one night.What does HOTWIRE show for that date?
Nagilum Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 hotwire shows no 5* hotel on this date...
blindman Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Therein maybe the answer...Try two or three days over that weekend with HOTWIRE to see if a 5* pops up.
blindman Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 It could be too early to try for a weekend at present.If you have to be there for that Friday then I'd book a cancellable back up and try later (April?) and also keep a look out for other wins.Please remember the support links for HOTWIRE and PRICELINEGood luck
