Vegas Exchange/Rental: Midweek to Midweek Possible? (i.e., Wed-Wed)

Total newbie question here (great forum!).

I'm looking at the Vegas exchanges (rentals) that are available on Redweek.com and have noticed that there are some very "open-ended" dates available for most of the resorts.

Do most of these 7-night rentals have specific days of the week in mind? Like Sat to Sat or Sun to Sun?

If we have a trip planned that might be check-in on Wednesday and check-out on Monday morning, would that be something that would be worth exploring? Obviously we'd be fine with "burning" a couple of the days (i.e., Wed-Wed would work fine), but am curious if there is any way to get a "full weekend" included in one of those 7-day blocks.

Thanks for any info...

=========== The availability dates listed in the RedWeek rental should indicate check-in dates. So if this is a mid-week date, it should be a valid check-in date. A range of dates usually indicate a person either owns multiple weeks or has a floating week where he/she is not locked into one specific week to rent. I'm not sure how many resorts have mid-week to mid-week rental periods, but I'm sure there are owners that can make those types of arrangements. Owners that have Points systems (such as Sunterra) might be able to book mid-week stays. Other than that, my only suggestion would be to book a Friday check-in, and show up early. Even if your room is not ready many resorts will allow you to store luggage. If you want to take advantage of cheaper mid-week airfares, then you might want to consider getting a hotel room for the previous night. Sometimes the airfare savings more than pay for the extra night's expenses. I did this when I went to Aruba last year, and the only "downside" was that I had to spend an extra day in Aruba (oh darn!!!). Good Luck Mike

Those weeks are more than likely floating weeks. This means the owner can request a week from the resort for a renter if it's available. That's the reason you see many 1-52 weeks for rent. Check-ins are normally week to week (ie: Fri to Fri, Sat to Sat or Sun to Sun unless you rent from a points owner, however that's a whole different ballgame and Redweek doesn't deal in the different point systems unless an owner confirms a week with his resort with points and then rents that week out).

A floating week owner could get a Fri-Fri check-in for a renter if it's available. That would give you a full weekend, and if you wanted to check-out any day the following week that would be acceptable .... in other words you don't have to stay the entire week, however I don't know if an owner would discount for those days not used. That would have to be something negotiable, that is IF the owner would negotiate a partial week rental at all.
