The value of a timeshare is found when you use it, not simply by holding a deed for one week of ownership.

We bought a 2 bedroom unit at the Grandview in Las Vegas in 2005 that we have never used. We were lured in by the Grandview staff with the offer of show tickets, which we were not even able to use that night (our last night in town). I have created a website to warn other potential buyers and help others get out of their timeshare nightmares. You can see the site at http://rcivip.com Hope it can help someone!!

They do this every year. The ole bait and switch. They give couples free vacations all the time. If they just sell at least one timeshare, they already made their money back. We did timeshare tours in Vegas, some paying $100 a tour. They was giving this money away every two hours to a new group of people. Selling one time share a day, they made a 200% return.
