Bluegreen Resort trips?

Anyone ever done one of these trips? BF got 2 nights in Vegas for free, in exchange for a 90 minute 'tour' of a timeshare presentation. No way are we buying a timeshare, but he thought it would be a fun trip anyway. We can get $99 flights to Vegas, so that will work. I guess they promised loads of coupons and show tickets while we are there. I am always skeptical, but just wondering if anyone has ever sat thru one of these?

I have not done this particular time share deal,but I have done a different one in St. Thomas. It was very high pressure and you and your husband better make darn sure you are on the same page, no time share buying no matter what!! That said, when we did ours it was worth it. We got a great trip and lots of free stuff.
Now, while searching on line for the company you are talking about I came across this:
Ripoff Report Search Results: Bluegreen
You will have to decide for yourself....

We did this in Aruba and I can tell you they are VERY high pressue. You will spend more than 90 minutes too. Their Vegas resort is the newest one so I am sure they will really pressure you into buying. Even when you say no at the end, they will probably bring out a supervisor to try and sell you harder. If you have the strength to say no and stay strong, then the time wasted is worth the free stuff. If you are interested in buying into BlueGreen (which has great resorts!) you can buy points online (not through Ebay) for half the cost of what they sell them for, even if they tell you you can't. I know for certain you can. There is a Blue Green owners group on Yahoo that you might want to check out if you are interested

I have not done that one, But we recently did one for a campground. We did the tour, and we got 21 free days of camping. We have used 3 so far and are going back in a few weeks and stay for 9. They really were not that high pressure on ours.

We have gone thru the Bluegreen Resort trip. It was high pressure sales but you just have to keep remembering no, no, no. The one we went on wasn't too bad. We got two nights, three days, meal vouchers, $50 shopping certificate and then while we were at the presentation, they had a cookout and gave everyone hot dogs, chips and drinks. When it was over, we politely said we weren't interested and of, course, they lowered the prices over and over and we told them straight that we weren't interested -- that we just came for the free trip!! They didn't bother us again and we enjoyed the rest of our free vacation!
