Priceline Hotel: LAS VEGAS - Need help identifying specific hotel

[MissEmi]

I would like to know which criteria and zone I would have to see / choose to specifically get THE VENETIAN?

:) Thanks for any help .. its greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately there is no way to guarantee getting the Venetian using PRICELINE. It is simply not how PRICELINE works, there is nothing one can do to induce a hotel win as no one is ever sure of what hotels/rooms are available at any given time, and they can change at any moment.

You may consider using HOTWIRE since you can attempt to identify the hotel based on the amenities that are listed, however, you are not guaranteed that this will happen. Again, things can change at any moment.

The Venetian falls into the Strip Vicinity North zone on PRICELINE so if you were going to bid for it you would stick with 5*. However, the Palazzo and Trump International have been reported as 5* wins in this zone so you would run the risk of getting a room in either of these hotels, and quite possibly another hotel.

If you are set on the Venetian, booking directly with the hotel is the best route to take.
