Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip North) Palazzo

[Mardrew]

Newbie post so I hope it is alright but feel free to alter as you see fit.

I have never used PRICELINE before but have been reading up on it but still felt very nervous when bidding.

On Monday I put a bid in of $128 just for 5* North Strip for a 3 night stay from March 28 - April 1. Bid rejected - sorry I can't remember what the counter offer was.

I added a night to my stay i.e so the stay would be Fri 28 March - Tues 1 April (same zone) and rebid $147 (on the basis that the stay would be over the 2 dearest nights of the week). Bid rejected.

Last night I tried again and upped my bid to $138 for the 3 night stay Sat-Tues - 5* North. Bid rejected but countered with the offer to increase my bid by $24.

I then changed my number of nights to 4 i.e Fri-Tue and (rightly or wrongly) upped my bid to $159 and this was accepted. (The Palazzo nightly prices are showing as $399 $399 $199 $199.) Could I have got it cheaper than $159 I don't know, and I suppose that is all part of the learning process of using PRICELINE and getting to grips with the bidding strategies. All I can say is that I am happy with the price and am now looking forward to staying in the hotel.

Welcome to Betterbidding.

Glad you got a god price at the Palazzo.

With more experience you may have got a lower winning bid, but you still have a bargain.

Enjoy the stay and if you have time, report back.

Cheers
