Re: Marriott Las Vegas home resort (by R P.):

I assume you will be buying a resale in whichever city you decide to buy. You will save a lot of money by doing so. The expensive perks you may get by buying from the developer is not worth the extra expense of doing so.

Many people say that Orlando is overbuilt with timeshares which lowers trading power. I'm not familiar with Marriott so I don't know if that would include Marriott's or not, however we once owned a one bedroom October week at a well known gold crown resort in Kissimmee, and we never had any trouble getting anything we wanted in a trade into two bedrooms at that.

I'm considering purchasing my first time share. I'm looking into purchasing a Marriott 2bd in Las Vegas during a red week. My wife and I are not really into Vegas but I figure we would have an easy time exchanging it for Marriott red weeks in Hawaii, Aruba, Desert Springs, or elsewhere. The Las Vegas price is lower than the price in Hawaii. I was also considering a Marriott in Orlando and maybe even Boston with the same thought...to have trading power through Marriott to exchange for places I would much rather go to but not willing to pay the higher price. Any thoughts?
