lwagner3701 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I am going to Vegas this weekend and am looking for a 4 or 5 star hotel on the Strip for under $100 per night. North or South Strip is fine but I would prefer South.I don't see any last minute deals and was hopine Priceline would have something. How do I navigate the bidding? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!!
thereuare Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I am going to Vegas this weekend and am looking for a 4 or 5 star hotel on the Strip...PRICELINE's North and Strip zones include hotels that are slightly off the strip... namely the Westin in the South Strip zone and Trump in the North Strip zone. Would these be acceptable outcomes?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

lwagner3701 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Posted October 14, 2009 Yes I would be ok with the Westin or Trump. Thanks.
thereuare Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 I doubt you're budget is enough for a 5* but no harm in trying for that first, then trying for a 4* if that is rejected.At the 5* level you have NINE re-bid zones available... only TWO re-bid zones at the 4* level. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 5* North and South Strip...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* North Strip...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $70, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* South Strip...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $70, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* North Strip and re-bid zone2...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $80, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* South Strip and re-bid zone2...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $80, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* North Strip and South Strip...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $90, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 4* North Strip and South Strip and re-bid zone2...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $100Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

lwagner3701 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Posted October 15, 2009 Well I got the Westin for $90. I couldn't figure out which zone was my second choice for 4*. Isn't there a way for you to list out what the zone to add is called? Just a thought.Oh well, it's last minute and a $70 savings from the price listed on their website. I'm happy.
thereuare Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Congratualtions on your success!Glad to see you received a nice deal for this stay. Re-bid zones can and do change all the time, what if this morning we listed ZoneA to use as a re-bid zones but later in the day a hotel in this zone was added or upgraded so that this zone no longer qualified as a re-bid zone... you'd add it and end up on the wrong place :) You need to know how to check these yourself as they should be checked before bidding cycle.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
