captsam Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Was actually trying to get the Planet Hollywood Deal for $50, but never hit the strike price.I first did 4* for Strip South, for $50,then added Strip North for $51.Logged out, logged back in again.Did 4* for Strip South again for $51then added West of StripDidn't work.Added Strip North to those two for $52, didn't bite.They continually counter-offered for $76, but I didn't bite.---Logged out again. I looked around Better Bidding for other deals, saw some folks had gotten deals at the Marriott on the Convention Center - UNLV Side. Went and did Strip South and added the CC-UNLV for $51. I didn't see any other hotels in that region for 3.5*. I got an immediate bite for $51 for the 3.5* Hilton, which isn't on the Better Bidding Las Vegas Listing: Las Vegas Hotel ListSo, I guess it's a new one? Or at least one that hasn't been reported?I was really hoping for Planet Hollywood, but we'll see how we like it at the Hilton. Regular prices for the check-in date are around $129.95 up to $149.95 (depending on the view).Hope this information helps the BB Community.Sam
thereuare Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing your results with the board.Although not the Planet Hollywood you were originally hoping for, hopefully you're happy with the Hilton and this will work well for your plans (i believe the monorail stop is right near the Hilton so should provide an easy way to get to the strip, if that's what you want to do)The Hilton has been reported thru HOTWIRE previously, but this is the first report of it being won thru PRICELINE, thanks for sharing your win and helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel ListPlease use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.

captsam Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 A bit disappointed, but I figured the information would contribute to the BB Board. Just checked the rates via AAA, it goes for $55 there. So, not quite the discount. So if anyone does want this hotel for this time period, AAA is probably better as you can still cancel last minute if you get something 4* and above. Hope the info helps. AAA has the hotel listed as 3 stars, and Priceline has it at 3.5 stars.
