nice man, let me know....Im still looking for a hotel.
according to better bidding...people have been winning the Hilton @ 147.00 per night and the Millenium hotel @ 145.00 per night. I'm still trying to make my plans too.
those of you posting your wins and losses should also mention what days they are trying for. Thursday for example is way cheaper on the priceline wins than Friday and Saturday. That's why I split it up and got the Rossevelt for $91 for just thursday and the millenium for $141 for friday and saturday.
anyone arriving JFK 3:20 on Thursday and wants to share a cab to hit me.

I've looked at that option, but the thing that sucks is you will have to check out at around 11:00 and not be able to check into your next hotel until after 3:00pm so you have to deal with moving all your shit and being without a hotel for 4 hours.
Looks like a great deal. I stayed at a Hotel Indigo in Phoenix and it was a pleasant stay.

Yeah, but I roll with a backpack and that's it. I figure I will maybe just pick up my 10c tickets, grab some lunch and then check in. no big deal. Also, any hotel will hold your bag for a little while.
ahhh...you roll with a backpack. I roll with a wife and when rolling to NYC, its a tough sell to get her to pack real lightly Good point about the hotel holding your bags though!

Some hotels charge a few bucks but usually they don't, and they keep the bags behind them in a small room so for the most part its secure. We've done that before w/ priceline bouncing us around to hotels when the two days have huge differences in price.. not too bad though.

Yeah, I've done it before at the Milford Plaza in Manhattan. I think it was like $3.00.

Have you guys been putting in MSG/Convention Area for the location in Priceline when bidding? What star level are you choosing?
Yep, and surrounding areas, but no success. 3* or 3.5*
At Betterbidding, it looks like most people are aiming at 3*/3.5* hotels in the midtown to Central Park South area, but have been unsuccessful and are forced downtown. Most 3*/3.5* wins for April/May are at the Millenium Hilton and Club Quarters (Downtown-Soho-Financial) or Millenium UN (MTE). I wonder if Priceline just doesn't have any available rooms in that central midtown area.
Finally won a priceline bid. I was looking for a 4 star hotel, so I started in midtown east and west @ 140.00. eventually added central park south, and empire state building. Ended up bidding all the way to 180.00 before I was accepted. We ended up getting the W - Tuscany. We are staying 4 nights (wed-Sun) and the all in price ended up being about $217.00 with taxes. About $40.00 per night cheaper than the rack rate they offer. I think its a nicer hotel and it works out to be a bit cheaper than the group rate hotel threat - although not as close to MSG. Good luck to everyone else.

I've opted to stay in Jersey City instead of New York City, so if anyone is interested in that option...
I got the Westin (4-star) for Thurs-Mon for $90 (106.80 with taxes)/night.
A PATH station is minutes away, and apparently, it's a 15-20 min ride to MSG. I can handle that, especially when it saves me $100+/night.
I know most would prefer to be within stumbling distance, but I'm used to taking an hour long train to and from concerts in Toronto, so this is nothing, and it's way better than my options in Mansfield in 2008.
I keep an eye on travelzoo...This may help someone
