$\"Priceline$ Priceline has a feature called “Hotel Bidding Alert” where you can receive emails from Priceline whenever winning bids for hotels are accepted on Priceline that match your criteria. \u00a0For example, you can specify the city and bidding zone, ceiling price, and hotel class (star level) and receive emails daily from Priceline for winning bids that match your criteria.<\/p>\n

$\"Rebidding$ <\/a>
Rebidding on Priceline, an essential tool for Vegas travellers<\/p><\/div>\n
Strip Vicinity South:<\/strong> \u00a0This is the cheapest of the 3 zones for 5-star hotels. \u00a0The average price for a 5-star hotel per night was just under $100 (very cheap), with rates as low as $83 per night. \u00a0This zone has three 5-star hotels, Vdara, Cosmopolitan, and Aria. \u00a0Vdara is very nice, but it is actually tucked away behind the Bellagio and the Aria, and does not have a casino. \u00a0This is less desired of the 3 hotels with 5-star status in this zone, and odds are that you will get this hotel if bidding on 5-star hotels in this zone. \u00a0If you don’t mind a bit of a walk to the Strip and a hotel without a casino, you can save a lot of money.<\/p>\n
Strip Vicinity North – Condo:<\/strong> \u00a0This zone only has one 5-star hotel — The Trump Hotel. \u00a0It is a gorgeous hotel, but like the Vdara, it too is off the Strip and doesn’t have a casino. \u00a0General concensus is that this hotel is much less preferred to some of the hotels that are immediately of the strip. \u00a0If you want to avoid this hotel, you would be better bidding elsewhere in Las Vegas, not this zone. \u00a0Should you choose so, the average price for this zone was around $120 per night, roughly $20 more than the Vdara in Strip Vicinity South. \u00a0Given the choice between the Trump and the Vdara, I would choose Vdara. \u00a0In my opinion, avoid bidding in this zone if you’re looking for a 5-star hotel in Vegas.<\/p>\n
Strip North:<\/strong> \u00a0This is the coveted Priceline bidding zone for 5-star hotels in Las Vegas. \u00a0This area is home to the following 5-star hotels: \u00a0Palazzo, Venetian, and Wynn. \u00a0Each of these hotels is right on the Stirp, has a casino, and is absolutely amazing. \u00a0If you can afford it, this is the zone you want to bid for a hotel on Priceline. \u00a0Surprisingly, the average price for a 5-star hotel in this zone was $125\/night. \u00a0Not bad. \u00a0In fact, I’ve seen the Venetian go for as low as $108 per night.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that the Priceline Las Vegas hotel list changes all the time so it is always best to check the latest Priceline hotel list<\/a> to see what hotel you might get. \u00a0These lists are kept up to date weekly.<\/p>\n
Overall, it is very evident that Priceline is a very, very inexpensive way to get a great Vegas hotel. \u00a0You are better off bidding on a hotel in the Strip North if you want a good deal for a hotel directly on the Strip, and if budget is your concern, Strip Vicinity South is a good low cost alternative (but be prepared to get the Vdara). \u00a0Happy bidding!<\/p>\n
