Welcome to BetterBidding!

You can't bid on a specific hotel... you could receive any 5* hotel in the zone(s) you bid. (and note that the Trump International, while the reviews have been pretty good, is in the "North Strip" zone even though it is located slightly off the strip... would this still be an acceptable outcome?

thanks thereuare...

if trump tower is not very far (walking distance) from venetian, then i can live with it...i really hope it is the venetian or palazzo though!...how far do u think trump tower is from the venetian?..

[mychances]

i just checked it online...trump tower is about 0.6 miles away from venetian which is a lot of walking considering i will have to do that twice daily for three days!!...i wud rather stay in 4* treasure island right across the street, but then for 4* i dont want to go over $90...what do you suggest thereuare?..

i wud rather stay in 4* treasure island

Again, you can not bid on a specific hotel. While the Treasure Island is currently the only 4* hotel reported in the Strip North zone, you could be the first to receive a different property (and while i can't think of any property that would not be on the strip, it's possible that PRICELINE could deem a property as such)

With the best rate i'm currently seeing $180/nite at the Treasure Island i think a 4* hotel in the North zone may be difficult at $90 or less. We'll suggest a strategy if you're willing to accept the possibility of a different hotel as outlined above, but let us know if you want to keep your maximum bid at $90 and we'll take it from there.

hi thereuare...i m okay with trying 4* in the Strip North zone...i understand i may end up in a different propert eventhough "your priceline 4* North strip list" doesnt have em...i want to keep my max bid at $90...can you please suggest the best way for me to proceed?

[thereuare]

At the 4* level you have two re-bid zones. 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: Summerlin is not one of them.

(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)

Select 4* North Strip...

Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $80, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.

Select 4* North Strip and re-bid zone2...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $90.

Any quesitons feel free to ask.
