Travel Deal of the Day (Dec. 28, 2006)

Want to go to Vegas for New Year’s Eve? Priceline.com has a great deal right on the strip for New Year’s Eve (a time when it is normally next to impossible to get a deal).

The Deal:
Get a room at the four star Aladdin Hotel on the Strip in Las Vegas for New Year’s Eve for around $125/night.

How:
Normally, hotels on the Strip for New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas are outrageously expensive. However, it appears that Priceline.com has some great deals for Las Vegas for New Years’s Eve. (In case you are not familiar with Priceline, Priceline obtains discounted rooms from travel providers - but the names of the hotels are not apparent to you until after you bid for a location, price and star level for your hotel choice.)

Biddingfortravel.com, a great resource for finding out what bid prices people are using on Priceline, is reporting that when bidding using Priceline.com for a four star hotel on the Strip in Las Vegas, the Aladdin Hotel is coming up for around $125 (see this link for more information).

To get this deal, go to Priceline.com and bid for a 4 star hotel in the “Las Vegas Strip Vicinity” district. If you bid appromiately $125, while supplies last, you will likely be able to obtain the Aladdin.

The Inside Scoop:
Note that there may be a minimum stay required to obtain this deal, so bidding for just the night of 12/31 may be unsuccessful. Biddingfortravel.com is reporting that bidders have been able to obtain the Aladdin by bidding for minimum three or four night stays which include New Year’s Eve.
