Tahiti Village Resorts Dont be stupid Las Vegas Nevada
We HATE Tahiti Village Resorts. Dont be stupid like we were and buy into this entire gimmick of timeshares.
We were on vacation last year in Vegas. Our first vacation together after we survived Hurrican Katrina and pieced our lives back together. We were just enjoying the sights and the slots when we got smoozed into attending this resort seminar with the reward at the end of a free show and money to play slots with, whether we bought or not. We fell for it. Gave up the better of our day to listen and us, like dummies, fell for it. We loved Vegas and thought that it would be a great investment as well as a great way to force us to take a vacation. That wasnt reality folks.
We have continued, until recently, to pay for this monkey on our back and when we did try to take a vaction, guess what, there were no rooms or dates available. Nevermind that we got 4 free trips upon spinning their lucky wheel. Now they are threating to foreclose on the property which we have already told them that we cannot and will not pay for due to the economic times we are in. We are lucky to pay our primary mortgage. Our mortgage company told us today that we cannot refinance our home because of this timeshare. We HATE Tahiti Village!!!!!!!!!!!
What is a person to do?????????

IloveTimeshares, - Out of money.
I agree that NOT ALL TIME SHARES are SCAMS or BAD -- Just this one. I am a REAL owner and I have now been in contact with over 50 owners that are having the exact same problems, I am with Consolidated Resorts. And I am willing to bet that if I can get in contact with more that number is going to Fly right through the roof.
Stay away from Consolidated Resorts - Tahiti Village, they are a RIPOFF. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM - EVEN USED.
I am starting a lawsuit against Consolidated Resorts but this website REFUSES to let me post my contact info. If you want to join a lawsuit, do a google search for Consolidated Resorts, Tahiti Village, scam, Lawsuit - you should be able to find one of the many pages I posted my email.

I heard a lot about Tahiti Village since they play the commercials morning noon and night on our AM Talk Radio station here. I ALMOST called until I realized that I wasn't going to believe some washed-up husky-v oiced wierd broad whose only claim to fame was that she was in a James Bond flick and then they had weird ROSEANNE BARR from the oh so old sitcom "Roseanne" as a spokesperson too. Roseanne Barr -- the Queen of WEIRD. I hope she stays on her meds...
Those were not reasons enough for me to hear some high-pressured sales maniac who probably was some sort of East Coast mobster until he or she came to Vegas on the lam SCREAM at me, BELEAGUER me, INTIMIDATE me until I signed the line for a crooked time share.
Even worse, they get you drunk with all this free, cheap booze and get you to sign up that way...
If you had researched time shares, you would KNOW most of them are CROOKED! Especially ones in Florida and Vegas.
And I have another question, a more personal question, what in the world were you all doing running away to get drunk and gamble in Vegas instead of dealing with the MESS that the hurricane made of your life?
Just curious.
The research is out there.
I ALWAYS CHECK THE RIP OFF REPORT first!
If there is a link and a lot of reports on a place, I AVOID DOING BUSINESS THERE!
ALWAYS DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE you spend a DIME!
And I ALWAYS start my research here!

Hi,
First disregard that post about buying timeshares on the used market. There are just as many rip off artist there. Now, I am in the same boat as you. If you want a full write up of my story look up Derf - consolidated / Tahiti Village on here. I have hired a lawyer and also working with The Owners Advocate. But at this time I am making very little progress. I am also in contact with owners of this website to release my contact information to everyone that has filed a complaint on Consolidated, so that we can talk more and work together rather then individually. Here is what I suggest that you do
1. Write Consolidated and notify them of your issues but don't expect this to go to far.
2. Research your deed number on the Clark County recorders website. My contract states that I bought Phase 2 but my deed is for an empty lot behind phase 2.

3. Write the Better Business Bureau
4. Write the Federal trade Commission
5. Write the Nevada Attorney General
6. Email Ripoff.com and request Derfs Contact Info.
This is everything I have done so far. If we can get directly in touch each other, I think that we could coordinate our efforts.
Hope this helps and I hope to hear from you soon.

You have to realize that there is a secondary market for ALL timeshares in this country. If you have a twisted desire to buy a timeshare then buy it for half-price (or less) on the secondary market. The timeshare companies will NEVER mention this during their presentations or advertisements.
In todays finance market the money for these loss leader properties is pretty well dried up. If you succumb to inhouse financing from the timeshare company you'll pay dearly.
