I've heard that you are basically obligated to sit through a presentation for a few hours and then have to say no a dozen times but once you're done with that the trip is pretty much free... anyone have any experience?

Is it a scam? and wheres the time share at?

I've done a couple in Florida years ago, you sit thru their 90 minute program, say no, etc, etc.

The one I did, offered trips to Vegas or Orlando, so we took the Vegas trip.

The MGM properties push Tahiti Village like crazy. Had it pushed on me literally a dozen times my last visit. Amazed MGM would whore themselves out for a property that advertises in filler spots on late night TV.

Planet Hollywood will give you $160 chips for $80 if you sit through their presentation.

I believe this is the one that has been tempting me... I didn't realize that they were advertising on tv (as I don't watch tv anymore) but have been hearing it all over the radio... they most be having a real hard time selling their shares...

No, but i have and aunt & uncle who own timeshares in Pigeon Forge TN., the Polo Towers in Vegas and on some island in Hawaii.

I'm not interested in owning time shares as I'm already pretty much aware that this is a scam... just getting some free travel/hotels rooms out of appearing interested...
