Vegas Vacations Travel

One star but actually deserve a no star at all. At their meeting/​seminar we attended as soon as they said we have to shell out 9 thousand for the lifetime membership fee I couldn’t wait to get out of that office! Who in her right mind will pay 9k ASAP!!! Lifetime? I don’t even think they will last for a year at all if only the people were smart enough to walk away. But sadly some people believed them and paid 9k to this company.
I am so glad I don’t see them anymore at Seafood city. Just so very relieved.

the business in concord is already closed out, but for some reason theyre still charging us and they still havent given us any login information or password. we have definitely not gotten any service and were still being charged what the heck!!! i really need to get out of their contract!!! pls help!!!

I hope people will read this and think more before signing up with Vegas Vacations Travel, or any other travel club, which I failed to do.
After you sign up and pay the down payment for the membership fee, they give you access to the members website where you can book your weekly or nightly stays. I remember that during the sales talk, they showed me a very thick book which has all of the condominiums/​timeshares which are available to the members… Wyndham, Hilton, Marriott, to name a few… But, when I check the website, those condos are not available, and not once did I see those timeshares in the members website (except for Wyndham).
Regarding the «savings», I say it’s irrelevant… If you compare the prices with other travel sites like Expedia, Priceline, etc., or even with the hotel’s own website, you’d find out that you’re only saving a few or even less than $ 100 for the same room/​accommodation! If you do the math, these «savings» become irrelevant, if you think about the membership fee ($ 9000) you’ve paid. It will take years and years before you get the return of your investment.
Also, those slots for the condos run out so fast, since these are weeks to rent condos/​timeshares. I guess the timeshare owners, of course, get more preference, so what’s left for members of «travel clubs» like VVT are the weeks which the hotels/​condos just need to fill up. I’m already onto the first year signing up with this travel club but, so far, I have not used their services at all, since I am able to book the SAME accommodations at a cheaper rate on the hotel’s website.
In addition, there’s an annual renewal «activity fee» of $ 179. Take note, during the sales talk, they will tell you that the «activity fee» only needs to be paid IF you book a timeshare. The sales agents say that you do not need to pay this fee if you only book hotel stays. But now, once your membership anniversary date comes and they already got money from you, you suddenly get a notice that this fee is mandatory and has to be paid yearly, or else you will not be able to access any services! Huh. So, either the sales people do not know what they are promising the members or they outright lied!!!
So, lessons learned:
1) Research, research, and do more research before signing up for anything
2) Some sales agents are like modern thieves. Traditional thieves rob you at gunpoint, these modern thieves rob you by making you sign contracts
3) Avoid travel clubs of all sorts. We don’t have to pay to save, it’s all free out there in the free internet! Stick to Expedia, Priceline, Hotwire, etc.
4) Use my hard-​earned money wisely!!!

I thought I can save me money on this but I guess im not. Beware of this company is not gonna save you money! I signed up for their service and paid thousand of dollars now I regret, cant get my money back anymore! not worth buying their service! Beware!

My mother was lured into one of their meetings. The had informed her that all she had to do was pay a refundable $ 20/​person fee, that she would get back at the end of the meeting, and she would get free 2 nights at a hotel along with show tickets — no obligations, no purchase needed. My father bailed out on her, so naturally i was forced to go.
Just another company filled with shark liked salesman that can’t take NO for an answer. Basically what their business is, you join a membership company X amount of dollars and you have access to these condos throughout the world — for the low price of $ 16,000 — BUT WAIT — if you sign up now you only get to pay $ 9,000. Seriously? Who falls for that type of crap. Mind you, they say you save so much month, their idea only covers your stay at a place, not the flights, not the food just the stay — OH and this part was awesome, $ 16,000 for a lifetime of stay for 4 – 6 weeks a year.
Once we heard their business, we immediately knew we didn’t want to do it. I didnt know that «No obligations» means «we’ll bug the shit out of you till you say yes or bitch at us to stop» — we politely said no, then they proceeded to show us catalogs, we said no again — they proceeded to show us «today only» deals. We said We have to go, they proceed to show us pictures of all the vacations they’ve been on. I basically bitch we leaving and they still continued.
I understand that its a business, and i understand people need to make money, but if i say no x 5 i think you don’t have a deal.
Oh and that free hotel? I tried to redeem it and certificate number was state to be «already used». I called the number they provided for assistance — fake number, doesn’t exist.
Do not get sucked into this «business» by their «great deals». AVOID AVOID AVOID.

This company is located inside an asian grocery store in Concord called Seafood City. Some of their agents solicit the grocery customers to come and check out their services by advertising the chance to get a FREE 3days, 2nite hotel stay in Vegas (or any city they have listed in a binder). Out of curiosity, I went and spoke to one of the agents to see what the catch was. Very nice lady, and convincing. She explained that it’s cheaper for the company to come out and speak to potential customers in person rather than buying commercial slots. That way, they can offer these free hotel stays. Okay, so what’s the catch?
They invite you to a 90minute orientation that will talk about ways for you to save on travel. The impression I got was that they were a travel agency. But in order to save your spot, you have to put down a refundable $ 20 deposit. Ofcourse, if you don’t show up, you lose your deposit. But I was told that if I couldn’t make it, I can just call to reschedule. Just for attending, I get a FREE 3days, 2nite stay at any of the hotels listed, PLUS, a $ 25 gift certificate to Goldilocks, and a bunch of FREE Vegas show tickets, which I’ll get after the orientation.
Okay, sounds interesting enough and for free rooms and shows, sign me up! They tell you to come to the table out by the food court and check-​in there. Okay, hubby and I get there right on time and no one’s there. So we walked over to their suite and I tell them that we were there for a presentation. Ahm… okay, they kinda just have us stand there not knowing what to do until one of the agents said, «you were supposed to check-​in out by the food court». I told him we were there, but no one was there nor was there a sign instructing us to wait! So he walked us back out and had us complete an information only form. I purposely skipped the part about our income and the agent came back to me and told me to just check anything. I told him that it says for informational purposes only. Nothing says mandatory. Then he takes the pen and insists to mark anything. Okay?
A few other people arrived and we were then led back to their suite and again, not given instructions on what to do so I said, ahm. so do we just pick a table, any table? Another agent said, oh yes, choose a spot. Okay? An agent sat w/​each couple and asked more questions about vacation/​travel history and plans, etc… That’s when we found out that they are actually Travel BROKERS, which means, we have to pay a membership fee to use their services and to get their discounts. sort of like Costco. Except the membership is $ 16,000. Wait! It’s for a Lifetime membership though. (So what if the company somehow cease to exist? I don’t know. I asked but wasn’t given a straight answer. In fact, the agent that spoke to us made it seem as though she thought I was weird to have even asked!) I know, $ 16,000 is a lot, but if you sign up right there and then, they’ll cut you a break and bring it down to $ 9,000! But you HAVE to sign up today and pay a 25% deposit!
It was actually quite interesting listening to their concept. If you become a member, you can reserve previously owned Time Share units for a fraction of the cost. They also have deals for cruises, etc… Doing the math, their fee would actually be do-​able had they not required so much upfront.
Now, down to the FREE hotel accomodations for attending this thing!
FREE?! They go through a company called
. You have to select 3destinations for your FREE hotel stay and indicate right there and then the dates of travel. PLUS, in order to even get to the Reservation Request Form, there is a $ 14.99 processing fee! Okay? That pretty much fills out your form for you then you have to either fax it or mail it WITH your Tax & Fee Deposit Plus Refundable Reservation Guarantee Deposit. For 2 travelers, you have to send them $ 116! This is even before your selections are confirmed! And, they charge an extra $ 20 for a Friday & Saturday nite stay. AND… you’ll be responsible for any additional hotel fees that the hotel will charge you (such as the Resort Fees).
So, where’s the FREE in this?
Oh, those FREE Vegas Show tix? Those also has attached «processing» fees in the fine print area! And restrictions, such as «Only for weekday shows at 4pm», etc…
I don’t know when this happened, but the meaning of FREE must’ve changed and I didn’t even notice!
