First of all, this review is in two forms. One for the Resort and one for the Time Share Scam (as it's been called correctly below). The resort is 5-star all the way (with the exception of the wireless internet which was as slow as a slug). The suite was awesoome, very comfortable, and private. Not much noise from the other guests. The main pool was great. The cardio room needs updated equipment, as the treadmills were in need of replacement. Overall, we loved the accommodations.\n\nThe timeshare scam was just that. We told them up front that we were not interested in another timeshare, but was told that it was just a tour and a survey for $100 in coupons at the South Point casino (next door). We knew better and wasn't surprised with the full sales pitch. After we said no to the first salesman, he brought over another to double team us. She even had something prepared that she insisted was only for their current owners, but she could give it to us becuase of a special that was going on. They worked like a team back and forth until we kept saying no. The price went from $14K to just under $10K in a mater of minutes. We still said no, so they were forced to take us down stairs so that we could get our vouchers and leave. (So we thought.\n\nInstead, we were taken into another room where we were greated by a man from \"corporate\" offices. He quoted verbatum the offer that was given us upstairs, although this was supposed to be a one time deal just for us. He then proceeded to try and sale us the same condo for $2,995. Just a few minutes earlier, the best they could do is $10K Wow, what a drop. I'm guessing this was their last resort sales pitch. \n\nIf you really want a time share, then hold out until you get to the last station. But if you don't, then just remember to SAY NO!!!\n\nHow can they live with themselves, trying to sale a $3K unit for $14K.\n\nAs we enjoy our week here at the Grandview, we see the steady flow of unsuspecting buyers that were duped into the tour for free tickets. Each salesperson has his/her own technique. I've heard the high pressure pitches about how the real estate will grow and they will be owners of a land mine, to the I'm your friend and wouldn't steer you wrong speach. Geez... The level they will sink to. \n\nIf they want respect, then stop the overpriced sales and give the customer the bottom figure up front. This place give a BAD NAME to timeshares and is the reason most (at least us) will never sit through another \"tour\".
