Priceline Hotel: 4* Las Vegas (Strip Vicinity South) Planet Hollywood Resort And Casino

[ryspahr]

Hi there, I just want to make sure, but HOTWIRE does NOT let you pick your price correct? That's just on PRICELINE right.

Thanks,

Hi there, just trying to figure out how this website/message board work.

So my girlfriend and I are joining our friends in Vegas in March for March Madness. We jumped on the train a little late and are now looking for a hotel room. We'd love to stay on the strip in Planet Hollywood (or the PH Towers), however I'm confused as to how we do this.

I put the dates and info in via the HOTWIRE link on the message boards here and none of the amenities for the hotels on the strip at 4* or above seemed to fit PH. In fact the cheapest hotel was:

Central Strip - $176 avg nightly

- Tennis

- Gold

- Hi Speed Internet

- Business Center

- Restraunt

- Pool

- Fitness Center

- Casino

Any idea as to what it is? Also, lets say it is PH for example... if I only wanted to pay $125 a night, would I then go to PRICELINE (via your link) and bid there? You can't bid on HOTWIRE correct?

Sorry about all the questions,

Ryan

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

For the HOTWIRE property above, If you go back to HOTWIRE and click the CONTINUE button next to this offering and then click the "See all amenities" link under the icons, do you see more amenities than what you've listed above?

You could try bidding on PRICELINE for a price better than the hotel above, but note that PRICELINE and HOTWIRE are two different services which operate independently of each other... when bidding on PRICELINE you're not bidding on the hotel that HOTWIRE is offering, you're bidding on any hotel in the zone at the minimum star rating (or higher) that you select.

What is your budget (per nite before taxes and fees) for this stay?

Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links.

Ok, so after clicking thru it lists SPA as an ammenity as well... oh, and that should've read GOLF, not GOLD!!! =)

We were hoping to pay less than 125 a night total (including all taxes fees).

As noted, with PRICELINE, you do have to be willing to accept any property when you bid for a particular star rating/zone. For example, if you bid for a 4* Central Strip, would you be willing to accept any of the 4*'s in that zone?

Hi there, still trying to book a hotel for March 18-20th. We'd love to stay at Paris, however after looking at the hotels Priceline has, I didn't see it mentioned on your webiste (under the pinned hotels), however it is on their website if you are looking to stay on the strip.

Is it not offered under the 'name your price feature'?

Thanks,

Ryan

Please keep all discussion of this stay within this thread. Thanks. :)

Paris has not yet been reported to the board as a PRICELINE win, but has previously (although fairly rarely and not in a while) been seen as a HOTWIRE win. Not all hotels that show on the retail side of Priceline are available on the bidding side. Additionally, there's no way to guarantee a particular property when bidding.

Sorry I never followed, but we did end up winning and staying at Planet Hollywood.

Thanks!

How did you win Planet Hollywood... thru PRICELINE or HOTWIRE?

If bidding, can you please add a reply to this thread with the amount of your winning bid... if PRICELINE can you please add the room rate per nite as well as the amenities associated with the hotel (you can still view this information by going to HOTWIRE and clicking the MY ACCOUNT link on the top right of their home page)

Please remember to follow-up your threads with your results/decisions as you receive them so that the information can best help others in a timely manner.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Thanks.

So sorry as this is over 5 years old... I honestly can't recall what the nightly rate was.  I would guess it was closer to $140 or so per night, but not sure.

 

 But it was won on PRICELINE, via your website link (I'm a devout Priceline fan)!.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the follow-up... hope it was a good trip and you had fun at March Madness.
