Priceline Hotel: 4* Vegas (Strip North) 5/28-5/31

[thenatem]

Hi! I recently bid $71/night on Priceline for a 4* hotel in Strip North (b/c I want to avoid the Luxor in the south strip) and Priceline countered with $128/night. Last I checked that was a horrible deal right?

Welcome to BetterBidding :)

I wouldn't call it horrible since prices are a bit on the higher side for your stay. But i think you can do better than $128.

If you would like to get help with a bidding strategy so please post your budget/night, zone(s) you're willing to stay in and the rating for the hotel.

Well, I would like to stay on the Strip at a 4* hotel... (preferably one of the bigger names) Do you think I can do it for less than $100 that weekend?

oh, and is it a little too early to be trying to book for memorial day? i mean, do prices usually go lower as the time nears? thanks!!!

Yes, approx $100 might do it. You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE. You need to be willing to stay at any 4* or higher in the zone you're bidding at. Are you ok with that?

There's no general answer to your question. But i don't think it's early to book for Memorial Day. Please read this link: Should i Bid Early or Close to Arrival Date

Let us know how we can help you further.

Hi! so apparently prices have gone up since i last checked. I bid 70 for south strip (b/c i gave up paying less for north strip) and got countered with 88 on wednesday. I checked again thursday night and the counter raised to 110 for south strip!!! Well, i was disappointed but i found a deal for the Luxor on slickdeals. I ended up paying 340 for 3 nights, which is a better deal than PL (110 w/ taxes for three nights is around 383). Thanks for all the help anyway!!! good luck to all!!
