I recently went to Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo, attend some concerts, and all the other usual things. Its the second time doing so and I would like to keep doing it. I took the timeshare tour at the Grandview Resort and liked what I saw. While I know virtually nothing about timeshares I do know enough that I did not buy anything. I've been looking around and found what looks like much better deals right away. Things like buy a 2 bedroom unit for $1000 with a floating week and $380 annual maintenance fee. After finding this site I believe I can do even better, even free and takeover the maintenance fees. Even if I found a timeshare someone wants to give away, I still fear there will be unknown costs beyond the annual maintenance fees and bold print gotcha's that will make me see why the timeshare horror stories are true. Are there other fees, charges, or whatever kind of expenses that can pop up beyond the annual maintenance fee? Will I have a hard time getting my desired week for the rodeo or whenever I decide I want to go? What makes people want out so bad that they give away their timeshares? I asked most of these questions at the resort , but don't trust the salesman.
I'm a single, 43 year old and ideally I'm thinking buying a 2 bedroom unit so I can rent out half to pay my annual maintenance fees and I can use the other half on my annual trip for the rodeo, or another time if I decide. Which is why I don't want locked into a certain week. Not really interested in trading for weeks at other resorts either, so I don't think the points system is necessary. I may be misunderstanding how it all works though.
Hoping to hear from current and past owners with your experiences and suggestions, good or bad. I'm far from completely sold on this, but definitely interested.
