We just received a bill this week for $65.16 for a 2-br unit at the Flamingo HGVC.
The accompanying letter says that $110 will be added to the next two annual billings in 2008 and 2009. So Pronkster, you'll be paying a total of $285.16 for the Special Assessment, not just the $70 you mentioned....
According to the letter, they planned on ripping up the showers and decided to replace the floor tile & cabinets at the same time by charging us the special assessment. They will also be replacing (with funds from the Capitol Reserve Fund) carpet, paint, furniture, art, bedding, window coverings and appliances. With the special assessment funds, they plan to replace the bahroom & kitchen floor tile, cabinets, countertops, sinks & fixtures.
So, no Pronkster, this is not a Special Assessment to pay for pool improvements...This is for the upgrades that are on the website.
I will expect that LV Hilton owners should plan on getting their own Special Assessment to pay for similar upgrades, since after Flamingo is done, LV Hilton will be the bottom of the HGVC timeshare foodchain in Las Vegas..I stayed at LV Hilton HGVC last week & it has major shower problems there. I have never had a unit at LV Hilton where the shower door will close completely. Just what was their problem in building those?
Personally, I would have prferred to have voted on this rather than having the HOA decide and shove it down our throats...
