Priceline.com Misprice for Caesars Palace LV $20 per room!

This looks like a misprice for loading Caesars Palace
(This is NOT the Name your Own Price section of Priceline BTW.)

I've edited the link as it's throwing people onto the wrong dates.

Go directly to www.priceline.com and
choose the Hotels tab,
click the Las Vegas radio button
Input your dates.
At the next page choose the 4* column and the cheapest price should be $20 which is Caesars Palace.

(If you include a Sunday then the rate goes back to normal.)

Looks like it's loaded for quite a few dates, going well into next year.
Put in your own dates.

If you use your UK card then for the Address, just put in any details BUT for the State pick any one ( I use CA) and for the Zip code use 99999

Haven't researched any more nights\dates I've just booked 24 and 25th October for $49.04 in total!

May be worth a punt, cancellation policy

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations After 12PM (Local Property Time) Day Of Arrival - No Refund. Cancellations Within 48 Hours Prior To 12PM (Local Property Time) Day Of Arrival - First Night's Room, Tax And Fees Plus $25 Cancel Fee Per Room. Cancellations More Than 48 Hours Prior To 12PM (Local Property Time) Day Of Arrival - $25 Cancel Fee Per Room.

WARNING
If you do get a booking DON'T rush out and buy flights or anything else that is non cancellable.

Priceline had a similar problem earlier this year and though they DID honour the first booking of everyone they also cancelled multiple bookings

Nice spot, take it you will be first in line to go on this then :eek: Think I might go just for this

Hmm can't get the pics to show but its the Stratosphere tower!

Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas, USA is America's tallest observation tower, and home to the World's three highest thrill rides. Acrophobics: look away now.

The highest of all is The Big Shot, which catapults you from the 921-foot-high platform up the Tower's mast to a height of 1,081 feet. Next is Insanity, an arm that extends out 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and spins you at up to three Gs, flinging you outwards until you're facing down more than 900 feet above the city. And at a height of 866 feet there's X Scream, which propels you head-first, 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower and dangles you weightlessly above the Strip (Vegas's main entertainment street).

The view over the neon wonderland of Vegas is unbeatable... if you can manage to open your eyes, that is.

LV hotels frequently do promotions like this, the thought is you pay less for your room but will spend the money in the casino. I'm not sure if this is really a misprice or not.

It's great if you don't plan on spending a lot of money gambling though (but why go to LV without gambling???)

No, it's a misprice, as when you get to book the rooms there are two room options, one is for $20.48 the other is for $205.34

Methinks someone has put the decimal in the wrong place.

CheapoVegas gives typical room rates.

You can also check on Expdia etc

Explain??

I have a UK credit card, for the address I use CA as the state and 99999 as the Zip code.

Works when I use Priceline 'Name your own price'

coolio_2 · 17 October 2006 at 11:27AM

i wasnt doing name my own price, it just said we cannot process at this time. so im guessing on name your own price, it comes up as 4 star for $20, just doesnt tell u which hotel it is?

you cannot cancel this either, using name your own price

Come again

I was guessing at what your problem might have been.

coolio_2 · 17 October 2006 at 11:31AM

i went to purchase, and it stated 'we cannot process any bookings at this time'
