Is it possible to do a timeshare presentation to stay at Elara?

I would like to visit Elara, never been to. Is there encore package available? I’m not interested in buying Hilton, just want to stay in Vegas at Elara particular days. Thank you.

Yes, HGV has a 3-night package available, which is usually $199. However, I will add that I purchased one of these last year, and they almost never had availability on the dates I wanted. They kept offering different resorts, and one time even pitched that we stay at Hampton Inn a few miles off the strip. I would be careful buying a package if you need a specific weekend for a popular event.

I've used the $199 deal many times with no or minimal issues.

One time I called and the only resort available was the Trump Tower. The reservation date was pretty far out, and the agent said that he would monitor the reservation for availability at the Elara. At about six months out, he called and said he had re-booked us at the Elara! I was surprised by the level of service.

I could say something snarky about buying a presentation
like, "Is it possible to shoot yourself by playing with a gun?"
But I'm much too polite to do so.

The presentation is in the Elara, and my record for getting in and out of the presentation is 20 minutes. For me it is well worth $199 for three nights, and around 30 minutes in a presentation.
