I sat through two presentations in Vegas.

The first one the guy was awesome, engaging, and when I said I didn't have the money he said, "You were engaged, asked great questions and didn't bull#### me. So often I hear I have the money but need to think it over' you guys are young and have student loans, I get it. I don't waste your time with the song and dance, let's get your free stuff! Now you're going to talk to someone else who will tell you similar stuff I did, tell him you don't have the money in your account and you'll be good to go!"

Total Respect for the guy. He clearly was great at his job and knew to cut us to go to the next people.

Got our stuff and it was great.

Next timeshare presentation the guy was a ######, lied to us (yes they're building an NFL Staduim waaaaay sputh of the trip where every team will play... FYI the actual stadium is no where near where he told me it was going). Said no, and he pouted and wouldn't look at us from that point on.

Regardless....

They don't talk annual fee, that's the real kicker. If it was just the purchase price then it could be worth it. But the maintenance fee or whatever they call it is insane given the actual time you're there.

Better off to have the flexibility of staying at various hotels or AirBNB. Hell AirBNB a timeshare if you like the resort.

They use your words against you. You can do the same "We're the once every 5 years vacationers. We don't have the money for every year."

They'll try and work something out because they like you. Also a family member will have the same occupation as you or your spouse.
