PS- to comfirm, you are aware that Summerlin is not a re-bid zone, correct?

[XT600]

Resort fee is $22 meanwhile :)

what do you mean with "Summerlin isnot a rebid zone"? I bid for 4* in Henderson and then -as not accepted - I added Summerlin as "free rebid" zone as in summerlin is not 4* Hotel.... or do you mean the resort counts as 4* ? I always learn new thing in this forum, good to know!!

[thereuare]

The star rating you select is the minimum you are willing to accept, and PRICELINE will always try to upgrade you to a higher star rated hotel first (so when bidding, regardless of star rating, they're always checking 5* hotels first, then resorts, then 4*, then 3.5*, then 3*, etc, etc down to the minimum you selected).

Therefore your PRICELINE bid for a 4* hotel can be upgraded to a Resort class property, which is why Summerlin isn't (and shouldn't be used as) a re-bid zone.

Thanks for the explanation... however you can call it "upgrade" as the Loews seem to be a resort style? At least they charge a resort fee of $22?

[thereuare]

It's an upgrade because in the PRICELINE hierarchy of star ratings "Resort" quality is above 4 stars.

[XT600]

no upgrade as Loews Henderson is sold a 4* not a resort (at least they don't let you bid on resort in Henderson, only in Summerlin.

BTW: regards from Loews!! It was a great deal, and absolutely fabulous hotel, quiet and relaxing as wanted to have!
