Tahiti Village - Las Vegas

Tahiti is located in a part of town I wouldn't like to visit. Why spend $13,000 to go to Vegas or for so called "trading power?" If I had $13,000 to spend, and wanted to buy a great developer and unit, I would look to buying something in So. Ca on the resale market or in Scottsdale on the resale and probably end up with a lot less cost, a lot less MF. But since I like to keep my $13,000, I think the best choice would be to just rent the units from RCI or bid on them thru skyauction...they show up often enough there....so, no sale here.

National TV advertising is not cheap!

...my thoughts too.

Tahiti Village has a somewhat better location that Tahiti. I'm assuming you're confusing the fact that there are two Consolidated resorts in Vegas with similar names. Tahiti Village is on S. LV Blv but, it's just north of the outlet mall and across from where the old Vacation Village used to be. I believe there is a new shopping center/district going in on the old VV property called Town Center (or something to that affect). Tahiti Village is still a good two miles south of Mandalay Bay and is south of the freeway. I think it will be pretty close to the new rental car facility.

On the plus side, if it's developed like they're selling, it will be more like a resort timeshare with more amenities than those on the strip or closer to the strip. Some TS exchangers will appreciate having a resort feel rather than the limited amenities offered by TS sitting on or close to the strip, which often cut back on amenities due to the limited foot prints the resorts have due to the high cost of the land they're sitting on.
