Several chains offer the occupancy tax in exchange for listening to the time share spiel deal. You pay around $250 to $300 up front (to make sure you show up) and they give you a loaded gift card (Visa or AmEx) at the end whether you buy or not. You get your choice of several older brand-name hotels on the strip or can pay a little more for the newer class. Our particular stay was booked through the Wyndham Group. The hotels won't book them directly, but I notice you can still get them on places like Trivago.Com for about $100 per night sans the sales spiel.

It was actually a fairly interesting spiel. Plus we saved the cost of one meal. Time-shares are no longer the rip-offs they were a few years ago.

Thanks, I had always heard that those sales pitches were very hard sell with things like they parked your car and wouldn’t give you the keys back, etc. Obviously you had a much better experience. I’ll be staying on the Strip next month, but I won’t have the deal you got. I will have a kitchen and full sized frig, however, so that should help some.

Yes they are. Try selling one.
