ednpub Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 My friend and I (we'll call him Josh) decided to head to Vegas with our wives... after much mulling we ended up booking via Priceline.We had noted that we could get one room on the central strip via Hotwire for what appeared to be TI for $89/night (Casino, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, Golf, Spa). However, when attempting to get two rooms, then it appeared the best we could do was $109/night and this was probably not TI but another 4* on the central strip (Casino, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business center, Hi-speed Internet, Spa) for $109/night.We decided to do Priceline instead and I submitted a bid for $60/night for a 4* North Strip. This was countered with $81/night for a 4* North Strip.While I paused, Josh tried to bid $70/night for a 4* North Strip and received a counter of over a hundred dollars a night for 4* North Strip. We're not sure why he got a different counter than I did (perhaps because it was holding my offer or because he did not start off through betterbidding.com or just bad karma).So, I ended up accepting the counter offer and received TI for $81/night for two rooms and three nights.Here's hoping for warm weather and a pool that opens up from winter maintenance on time.Thanks for the help in our planning!

Josh B Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hello,I am "Josh" and I just want to apologize for forgetting to use the links on this site. Ed and I had been researching Vegas bidding through here for a number of days, and I just happened to forget once we got started. I actually wonder if my counter offer was higher than Ed's SOLELY because I didn't come in from this site.At any rate, I've used Priceline many times over the years and can't believe I never knew about this forum. It's a great resource to check against.I'll definitely go through your site the next time I use Priceline. And thankfully, Ed's bid was the one that won. FYI, the counter offer that I got when I bid $70 was for $99 dollars, not over $100. Link to comment

ednpub Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 We still have our wives... :) We had a great time on our trip and I wanted to say thanks for help! TI was worth the price we paid, in my opinion. Link to comment
