Priceline Hotel: looking for 4-5* las vegas strip

[theQ]

Looking for 4-5* las vegas strip 2 rooms for one night for $90 or less

I made several bids for 5* north strip starting at $70 and increased to $90 without sucess. (added areas without 5* to re bid ) I did receive a counter offer of $145. which I did not accept.

Will bid on 4* strip tomorrow and would like some assistance with a bidding strategy and if possible an indication of hotels that are likely to accept my bid. Are the hotels in the hotel list a complete list of all the hotels that have been reported with winning bids on this forum? I understand that even if that's the case that new hotels could be added or removed at any time.

Would consider hardrock even though not on the strip, especially if I got it for under $50 which I see was an accepted bid. Is the hardrock the only 4* in the near strip east area?

Thanks for any assistance

All boards reported hotels are listed in the Las Vegas Hotel List. And hotels can be added/removed/up or downgraded/re-zoned at any time.

What is your max budget for a 4*? Have you looked at HOTWIRE for your stay?

I'm ok with up to $90 for a 4* but wasn't sure which hotel i would be likely to get and wanted some input before i bid 4*

I did check hotwire and the strip hotels are $150 or so. There's a 5* central strip condo for $156,

condo, spa, studio, smoke free, fitness, pool, restautant, business. any idea what hotel/condo this is?

If I cant' get a room on the strip I would be very interested in the Hardrock if i could get it for $50-$60

Is the hardrock the only 4* in the near strip east area?

Thanks

bid $90 5* north strip this morning and recieved a counter offer of $145

changed to 4* north strip and bid $80 received a counter offer of $144

Am I wasting my time bidding for the same dates unless I bid close to the counter offers (within 10% or so) ?

The only reported condo to the board is the Trump Tower at Central Strip (no casino) so that have to be my best guess.

Am I wasting my time bidding for the same dates unless I bid close to the counter offers (within 10% or so) ?

Sometimes it only take a few $ to hit when you get a counter offer but other times can it take 50% or 90%. So there's no general answer to your question. I would work my way up slow since you have plenty of zones to 50% of the offer.

Thanks for the help, but ended up booking through a friend with a connection for Harrahs. Paid $140/night.

Hotel was dated and I wasn't impressed. Would have probably been happier with following through with hotwire at roughly the same price. Thought Harrahs would be nicer and liked the idea of knowing for certain which hotel I was booking since I hadn't been able to secure a great deal through PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.
