If you can wait - and MamaG & friend will stay in one of the following hotels, then try this:
Hotels are: Aria, Cosmopolitan, Vdara, Venetian, Palazzo, Wynn. You may get another one that I don't know about but as far as I'm aware, it's these 6.
What you do is as follows: go to priceline.co.uk. This redirects to booking.com and on the right hand side should be a box saying "part of priceline etc" and a clickable link stating "Name Your Own Price". Click this link.
On the new page, click "U.S." and then "Las Vegas". Underneath, select your dates and that you want 2 rooms. Then click "Start Saving".
On this page, click box 9. ONLY BOX 9! This is "Las Vegas Strip Vicinity South". Then click next. (THIS DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IF YOU CLICK ANY OTHER BOXES THAN 9)
On the new page, click 5 star luxury only. Then put in the amount, per night, you are willing to pay for each room. This number is in POUNDS, not dollars. Note - this does not include the dreaded resort fee. Scroll down and put the name of the person who is PAYING for the room (presenting the Credit Card to the hotel) into the boxes for the rooms. Click next.
Review your request - make sure the amount per night is correct, the dates, and the area. Then initial and click next.
Next page is fill in the card details. If a hotel accepts your bid they will charge your card immediately. No refunds. Theoretically, the hotel should be one of the following: Aria/Cosmo/Vdara.
If they don't accept, you can only bid again if you modify your area. This time, just add box 7 to it. That brings in Venetian/Palazzo/Wynn.
Keep bidding, twice total per 24hrs, until you get a price you are happy with.
I used this myself to get the Vdara for £45 per night plus tax.

Book the hotel now and if something better comes up you can cancel and rebook on the new deal. If nothing better comes up then you've got the best of it, you only have to pay 1 night on booking and the rest upon checkout.

Agree with Woodsey, I looked at plenty myself last year, and for someone else here at work and they were never £500
Must have found some ridonkulous deal Adam.

You can make more rebids than this in the 24hr timespan, using the "free" rebid strategy.
In this case las vegas there are 12 options and only 3 have 5* hotels in those areas. Those being 7,8 and 9.
So you can have a rebid by simply entering 1 of the other areas without a 5* hotel in it and bidding again on 5*. As it is impossible to get a 5* hotel in those areas. You can do this until you have exhausted those areas. So in this case 11 bids a day.
