Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip Central) Trump International

[ialvarado2]

After looking at different prices for about a month in hotwire and making some unsuccessful bids about 3 weeks ago I tried this again.

Out trip is actually from 9/10 to 9/14 but decided to bid only for the first 3 days as they are they most expensive ones and make a separate bid for the last one in a different hotel probably. This turned out to be cheaper. Unlike other people I was actually trying to get Trump tower.

Bid 1 $80 Strip North 5 stars- Rejected

Bid 2 $85 Added sector, kept 5 stars - Rejected and taken away from Name you own price

had to start again

Bid 3 $89 Strip North, 2 more sectors, 5 stars - Got counteroffer to bid $22 more for same options.

I rejected this and placed another bid

Bid 4 $93 Strip North plus 4 sectors, 5 stars - Accepted

Hotwire had 'this property' for $106 plus taxes so ended up saving about $40 dlls.

I might get the last night on Hotwire though.

ps.. I've used these forums for a while and never came back to post my results, I'm sorry for that. I'll post everything from now on.

ps2... I forgto to put the price on the title, maybe and administrator can fix this. Also is Strip North, I got confused with hotwire. thanks.

What other sectors did you use for your other bids? I'm trying to do the same thing for the same weekend (9/11-9/13) and I keep getting rejected when I do 5* strip north for $93. A few weeks ago they offered me $111, but now the offer price has jumped to $141!

This is my first time doing the priceline method and this whole concept of adding sectors is very confusing to me -- I don't want to end up with a hotel in the wrong area.

Thanks!

Welcome to betterBidding!

The board would be happy to help you. But please start a new topic for your own stay since this topic has already reported a 'win' and your dates are not exactly the same (your dates are one day shorter) than the OP's.

Hi,

I tried to add two rooms for 9/11 - 9/13 and got rejected too.. I tried up to 120 per night and was no good.

I noticed in HOTWIRE they raised the prices a lot specially for Friday and Saturday so I suppose the price would be raised in PRICELINE as well.

When I got the 93 price I bid 5 stars strip north, then added everything else ecept strip south bc nothing has another 5 star hotel.

I ended up booking at a different website where I found it for 120 plus tax on those 2 days you're looking forbut I don't know if I can post informationa bout other sites.

Question,

Should I post rejected bids?? (I have a couple of them, :))
