| - I wish I could give negative stars. This company is a bunch of scam artists. For anyone who has visited Las Vegas and avoided the "Would you like a free show" hook, keep on avoiding it. I just returned from four days in Vegas and feel like a fool for wasting my time with the Tahiti Village presentation.
Like other reviewers, we were told we would get $200 slot play and $75 on the tables at Casino Royale if we would only come to get educated about the history of Las Vegas and spread the good news about Tahiti Village to our friends back home. We paid our refundable $40 and made a reservation to attend the presentation. We were promised breakfast and thought that $275 would be a good trade for tying up our morning. Boy were we wrong! We arrived at the kiosk in the mall, were taken on a long, snaking journey around the mall to another kiosk where another employee escorted us through numerous coridoors and into the parking area of the mall. We then were handed off to a bus driver who took us to the resort. After waiting for 30 minutes in a cramped area, much like a doctor's office, we were called. A nice older gentleman, our 'customer care representative' , escorted us to the conference room where we wasted 30 minutes listening to all the sales reps introduce their propsective customers. It was like being at a WalMart sale associate morning rally with all the clapping and hooping that went on. Then, the lights went down and we got 5 minutes of film showing hotels being blown to bits. After that, a cheesey stand up guy talked for 30 minutes or more on stage and showed us the wheel of prizes that we could spin should be decide to become member owners of Tahiti Village.
While eating Costco muffins and drinking crappy coffee from styrofoam cups, our sales person went over the pros of owning a unit. He drew numerous diagrams and circled data on our questionairre to drive the point home that we were just the types they were looking for. And, he offered us 'deals' that were good only for the next two hours. We told him we don't make decisions like this in one or two hours, but he was not deterred. We looked at the property, which was nice, and then sat down again to go over the numbers. We told him again we would not be purchasing a unit today. so they brought in the heavy hitter. A sales manager with booze on his breath and hot dog indigestion. He took us to another room and drew all the same diagrams as our sales man. He showed us the math and then started pressuring us big time. My husband said we would call him back after we talked in private at our hotel if he could give us a business card. The guy said "Jesus and Mcarthur said they would be back...we are still waiting on Jesus." That did it for me. I told him we were through, the sales man got angry and slammed the door as he walked out. We were really offended. We got our 'prizes' ,which turned out to be a scam, too. You can only win on the promotional slots if you hit the jack pot. I won a couple hundred and they wouldn't give it to me. I had to keep playing it out on the machine. Does anyone ever hit the jack pot? I think not. The table money was the same way - you got half of the winning amount in a fake money chip that could only be used for play, not real cash. What is the point? If you wanted to do that, wouldn't you just use a computer casino game?
Steer clear folks. These people are a smarmy as they come.
