anniversaryvegas Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Hello. We are planning a trip to Vegas for our one year anniversary. We would like to visit Vegas either Oct. 16-Oct. 23 or Oct. 18-25. We would like to stay at either the Venetian or Wynn. There are no bids on the calendar for that day. We would love suggestions on what to bid, etc. We appreciate any help that anyone could give.
thereuare Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!With PRICELINE you can't bid on a specific hotel (or hotels) you're subject to any 5* hotel in the zone(s) that you bid, which in this instance, includes the Trump which you'll have to let us know your feelings on (many users don't want to stay here do to the off-strip location, no casino, and resort fee paid directly to the hotel)If you're trying to target a specific property(s) then HOTWIRE may be a better option since you're ablel to avoid the Trump (by choosing a hotel with a Casino icon) as well as take an educated guess as to the property you may likely received based upon the amenities associated with the property being offered.What is your expected budget? Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?Let us know your thoughts regarding the above and we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

anniversaryvegas Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Posted March 17, 2009 We decided we are going to split our trip into different hotels. Last night we bid on priceline for the first part of the trip. Here were our results:October 16 and 17, 2009$70 bid, 4 star on Freemont - No win$90 bid, 4* on South Zone - Won the Westin!Unfortunately, we did not use the better bidding PRICELINE links (it was an accident. Sorry!) We will be using them for the rest of our bidding though.
