Priceline Hotel: Bidding Strategy: 5* Strip 9/26-9/29

Hello,

I am traveling with 5 other people (i.e., we are 6 total) and we are interested in bidding in the 4-5 star range.

Assuming I get a winning bid, are Las Vegas hotels generally willing to give me a room with 2 Queen beds (upon my request over the phone after a winning bid) if I book through priceline? Or am I taking a chance of only getting a King?

We are traveling from 9/26-9/29 and want to be on the strip. We are planning to bring an air mattress for the remaining two people -- since I assume suites aren't a possibility over using priceline.

Right now we are finding good rates in the 150-250/night range for our dates which are very good, but if we can get something cheaper -- why not. Our main concern is the room size issue and whether we can get a 2 Queen room.

Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?

Thanks!

We are 6 people and it looks like the Venetian would be our best bet to get enough floor space to accomodate our group.

Is this bidding strategy in the post below what I should follow?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

I think you're taking a big risk booking a hotel for double occupancy when you're actually be six! :)

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Great job on the forum, by the way, very helpful advice.

I too wish to stay at the Venetian during this time period, 9/26-9/29/07, but just two of us. I just bid on Priceline for $99 (I saw another post where the guy had luck) but no luck for me. I am reviewing the re-bid instructions you posted. Any advice before I proceed? I'd love to get it for under $150.

Thanks again.

Rivet,

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Rates for these dates directly from the Venetian are over $400/nite... i don't think you have a chance at $150 or less.

Since you'll have different criteria (especially in regards to your maximum bid) than the OP, please start a NEW TOPIC for your own stay.

Thanks!

This bid was unsuccessful and ended up booking a separate deal via the MGM grand.
