Keels Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Hi,Having looked at the recent postings, it looks as though it may be possible to get the Trump or another 5* for around $120. This would be our first choice. Then, we'd like to go for a 4* for around $100 (or less!) - is this possible. It's for 2 nights but at a weekend 12/13-09. We'd like to be centrally located. Are we being ambitious? Can you please advise a stretgy?Many thanks.
thereuare Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 2 nights but at a weekend 12/13-09i'm guessing this is 9/12 (check-in) to 9/14 (check-out)??Although i think your chances of success at $120 or less are low, we'll try first for a 5* and then if rejected we'll move on to a 4*. At the 5* level, are you willing to accept a hotel in either the North Strip or South Strip zone or were you only interested in the North Strip?Let us know the above and we'll suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Keels Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Posted August 26, 2008 Hi,Either the South or North Strip will be fine. Thanks
thereuare Posted August 27, 2008 Report Posted August 27, 2008 At the 5* level you have seven re-bid zones.

Keels Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Posted August 30, 2008 Sorry to be a pain but can we try for the North strip first and then the South Strip? We will now go up to $160 but obviously don't want to over bid. Thanks
thereuare Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 Using your seven re-bid zones...(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 5* North Strip...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone4...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone5...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone6...Bid $140, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE.Select 5* North Strip and re-bid zone7...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $155, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $160If the above is rejected you cna then close your browser, use our link to re-access PRICELINE, and repeat using the SOUTH zone (instead of the North zone above)Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Keels Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Posted August 31, 2008 I tried all of the above but got a messgae after North dtrip $150 to say that if I bid $183, it would be accepted - I eventually got it for $170!
