Priceline Hotel: need help: sept 26th-28th

[xbrutalitorx]

hello first time poster!

I am working on planning a trip to vegas we will be checking in on sept 26th and checking out on sept 28th.

we wanted to stay in a nicer hotel. (last trip we were in the dreadful saharah)

right now we are considering caesers palace for 180 a night. but i think we could do much better.

we will need 2 rooms.

we would like to be close to the main part of the strip, no where near the saharah/ circus circus area.

the budget per room we would like to keep to around 140. would we have success in getting a 4 or 5 * room for that?

please any info would be great. i would love to start bidding soon!

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ALL THE HELP!

Welcome to BetterBidding!

First issue is that PRICELINE has some properties which are in the strip zone(s) but off the strip itself... most notably the Trump and the Westin. Would these properties be acceptable?

Let us know so we know what our options are.

i will use those links for sure!!!

i think the trump would be ok. the westin the reviews were not as positive. i would like to avoid it. but many of the hotels we were hoping for are in the same star range. so i guess we will give it a shot.

what is the likleyhood of it ending up being the westin?

its worth the risk for a cheap rate i suppose!

thanks for the info how should i proceed.

Did you want to bid up to your limit first for a 5* hotel or are you looking for the least expensive 4* or better hotel for these dates? Is both North Strip and South Strip equally acceptable?

I don't think you'll be successful for a 5* hotel for $140, but if you're trying to upgrade your accomodations vs. Caesars and willing to go up to $180 i think you have a better shot (or maybe if it came to that you'd just want to stick with Caesars?)

Let us know your thoughts and we'll take it from there.

4 star is fine. we are just looking for a nice place. location on the strip is not as important.

also caesers is out as the prices have jumped 50 dollars since yesterday

Not sure if $140 will be enough, but assuming both the North and South strip are acceptable, i would try as follows:

At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones available. (Summerlin is not one of them) If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)
