Priceline Hotel: 5* Las Vegas (Strip) Venetian

[Vivabebe]

I have been trying to get the Venetian for a few weeks and have my backup at

Paris for $119 from their Website. (which I will cancel now)

Today, on Venetian's web page, price: $169.

I bid $100 first, then kept rebidding until I won at $120.

I am very happy. I did have one more bidding opportunity before

I leave, but went ahead and booked it. Who knows, they could run

out of rooms, right? :)

I did get a counter offer three days ago for $150 for a 5* and turned it down.

Today, when I bid $100, Priceline countered at $130. I then got it for $120.

Book your back up, then keep good records of when you bid. Venetian must release their

rooms a week out or so.

Happy Bidding!!

Congratulations on your win... nice to see your persistence paid off for you. A step up in quality and a bit less expensvie.... what more could anyone want? :)

What was the amount of your bid immediately before being accepted at $120 (it sounds as if you made additional bids between $100 and $120).

Also, just as you posted this win, please do the same for your win that you mentioned at the JW MARRIOTT.

Thanks for posting and enjoy your stay!

PS- rates are back up to $209! (an example of just how quickly rates can move in the Vegas market... it's like none other)

I always bid in $5 increments...easy to remember....

So, for the Venetian, my last bid was $115. Then won

with $120. I did notice that prices on their own website

went up the next day. weird.

My JW Marriott, I bid for it on Jan. 2 for Jan. 27-30.

Started with 4* Strip, and added Zones that didn't have

4*'s in $5 increments. When I added NW Vegas, won it

at $100. JW website listed the price at $249. :)

Good Deal, huh?

If this represents a pattern - JW website listing 249 (1/27) and 229 (1/28) and releasing rooms to Priceline only 4 weeks prior - there is hope for my 4/13 -15 stay!

100 sounds like a great deal - but there might be a slight chance getting JW for leven less: Starting with a resort bid in NW Las and adding non-resorts zones should be a safe way of bidding

Good luck! I will post a review when I get back after Jan. 30th.
