I have owned numerous timeshares long before points were invented . I was always able to get decent exchanges before RCI was taken over by corporate greed . I rid myself of all my timeshares except one on the Las Vegas strip which I love and go to pretty much every year . It's the best kept secret in Las Vegas . My view is the Bellagio fountains and it's right in the middle of all the best hotels and casinos . The maintenance fees are ridiculously low and they bill us quarterly so we don't get hit with a large bill the beginning of every year . I own a week for the price of a one nights stay in any one of the surrounding hotels . I have never had a problem booking a stay and they allow us to arrive and leave any day of the week we choose . It's well maintained and updated . I would never buy points . I would advise anyone interested in purchasing a timeshare to do their homework before they buy . There are some real good timeshares and bargains out there but they are few and far between . I would also advise anyone to purchase weeks whether fixed or floating and buy one that you plan on going to every year . I have given my week to family members to use as well in Las Vegas . I no longer exchange because of the greed in the exchange business . All good things come to an end . Be diligent and you might find a hidden treasure out there that someone else has decided they no longer want . Good luck .
