IThat said, though, there's one frequent destination where Priceline usually falls short: Las Vegas. I always try PL, but it might come through one time in 4 (For LAS I try to pay $15-20/night and top out around $30). Usually the third-party sites like tripreservations.com and Expedia and the websites of downtown casinos will have something PL just can't see to beat. </font>
I think this is changing, at least at the upper-end properties. The Venetian for $79 (not uncommon from PL of late) is markedly better than any published deal, and I have personally booked 12 room nights at the soon-to-open Westin Casaurina LV for the low, low rate of $43/night.
Where I find PL especially useful in LV is for big conventions and the week ahead of them; I am consistently able to get better rates than the Casino Guest rate, even at properties where I have rated play.
