MVI Marketing RIP-OFF; and scammed Tampa Florida *UPDATE ..your refund went out on 7-22-02 *UPDATE ..MVI Marketing contacts Rip-off Report to give a full Refund or replacement certificates to any unsatisfied customer.. even when it's not their responsibility
Should have gone with my gut instinct! I knew this was probably a scam! Who books vacations by mail other than a company that is going to tell you that your 5 bizillion dates are already taken!
MVI received our $100 deposit via Certified Mail on March 6th. Of course ALL of the dates I had chosen were taken so they tried to push a lodging only package down my throat supposedly due to 911! Funny when I booked a flight on my own to Las Vegas in June half the seats were EMPTY! Of course I requested a refund, by mail and e-mail. Here it is the 20th of July...and no response yet! These idiots are using yours and our money interest free, and don't even have to apply for a business loan! I WANT MY MONEY BACK MVI! Certificate #66406 MA32102011LVW 1 A

REAL cheap vs FALSE free Las Vegas vacations....
#6Consumer Suggestion
Sat, July 20, 2002
Despite of the myth that travel agencies try to spread, Las Vegas is one of the cheapest and most accessible resort in US. All year long you can get cheap airline tickets, cheap (under $50 for a double in decent places on the Strip) rooms. Only a couple of long holiday weekends are exempt.
If you want a real cheap LV vacation, go to any big travel site, Orbitz, Travelobridge, Southwest, etc. to CHECK the prices. You do NOT have to order through those sites, but they do have very big data base. Choose an airline, then order the ticket DIRECTLY from the airline's web site. Choose a hotel, and call them DIRECTLY or use their own web site to reserve room.
Travel agencies press you to rent a car. It is expensive, to drive through the Strip is a suicide mission, and hotels have high charge for valet parking.
Why you want to ruin your vacation with shady time share meetings, or spending hours on airports?
