djohannw Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Going on with our summer-holiday today was the day for our bid for Las Vegas. After bidding a total of £37 (including the £10 bonus-money available that time) last year and receiving the Hyatt Lake Las Vegas (great hotel!!!) we today paid £40 for the same place after £39 being rejected:Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas Check-In Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 Check-In Time: After 03:00 PM Check-Out Date: Sat, 28 Aug 2004 Check-Out Time: 12:00 PM Your Offer Price: £40.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: £80.00 Taxes and Service Fees: £12.28 Total Charges: £92.28 However with the gain of the Euro vs. other currencys we still pay less than last year, and as a Diamond with Hyatt's Gold Passport program, we were treated VERY WELL last year at this hotel. Hopefully they will treat us comparatively, but even if not the standard-rooms are just fine! Going rates, btw, for our dates were 155$ per night and up.Greetings - Dirk Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Indeed i have heard great things about this property.Any plans to make it to the strip this time around?

djohannw Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 We surely will see the strip...our total stay at Las Vegas is August 24th for four nights, but we decided to stay "away" from the strip the last two nights and stay close to the strip the first two nights. We know the Hyatt pretty well having stayed there already twice, and it really is a beautiful place.The first two nights, however, are currently booked conventionally through Park Place at the Las Vegas Hilton which gives us free breakfast as HHonors Gold plus a nice package (2 Dinner Buffets, 10$ coins, 2for1 Show Tickets) for 59$ per night. As this is cancellable we may redecide on that, but honestly I do not think that Priceline can beat that deal by much - if at all.Greetings - Dirk Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 That sounds like a good deal at the Hilton, but i'd also look at non-Priceline options (Qucikbook and the hotel websites themselves) as you may be able to get something similar and more centrally located on the strip. During slow periods (ie- the summer) the casinos run some very good specials just to get people in the door.For examples i found:Harrah's $55/niteBally's $79/niteFlamingo $75/nite.... and at the last two you still be able to get your Hilton perks (not sure of the policy, but they are Hilton affiliated properties). Some may say that some of the above are not as nice as the Hilton, but they are all centrally located.

djohannw Posted June 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 thereuare, thanks for the suggestion. However none of the properties you mentioned offer HHonors benefits any more (since June 1st all Park Place properties except the LV Hilton do not participate with HHonors any more).As to booking, I usually use Travelaxe to check lots of consolidators in one place...but still the -hilton LV seems the best deal currently.Greetings - Dirk Link to comment

Just a quick question for you re. your first two nights at the LV Hilton... The $59... is that per person, or total for two people? And it includes room, breakfast, 2 dinner buffets, coins and 2-4-1 tickets????? Sounds like a great deal...DeltaPurser :) Link to comment
