The freebies aren't worth it if your whole day has been wasted. I will definitely take note of this the next time I go to Vegas or anywhere else.

I hope to be very persistent in holding them to the fact that they said it was X amount of time. PLUS my 2 year old who is super active is going with us so .... lol... to be honest he'll probably turn the place upside down and they will want us out anyways lol. I am glad you turned it around at the end.

We always say no because we don't want to waste our precious vacation time, even for freebies. The last hotel we went to, we were exhausted and kept trying to tempt us with things like t-shirts, hats, even a couples massage package. The freebies got better over time.. but we always give a firm "no" because we know what we are getting into.Marysahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456903774725595861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2775183670164215482.post-4529253521897693912018-04-04T16:27:12.466-07:002018-04-04T16:27:12.466-07:00I have had friends who have told me about these ti...I have had friends who have told me about these time share vacations.

The gift is not worth the headache. We went on one years ago and when we said no, they brought in another salesman that was mean and we had to be very firm with them - no means no. I've avoided them ever since.
