How Do You Avoid Timeshare Pitches?

Even if you're approached by Alan Thicke, just say no!

It's happened to the best of us. We've arrived in Vegas feeling lucky, eager to make our way from the lobby check-in up to our room so we can stash our bags, freshen up and head back down to the casino to try our hand at the tables or the slots.

Just as we walk away with hotel room keys in hand, an official-looking person in a nice blazer stops us and ask, "Are you staying here at the hotel?" And we, naively thinking this person might want to give us something free, say "Why yes, we are."

Before we know it, we're guilt-tripped over to a little corner and this official-looking person launches into the dreaded timeshare seminar song and dance. Fortunately, we're not so drunk on the vast amounts of oxygen pumped into the casino to fall for this routine. So we profusely say, "Not interested" and make our way up to our hotel room.

Yes, some timeshare pitches will try and bribe you with free perks but unless you're willing to sit through long timeshare seminars, we say turn them down immediately. Having gone through this a couple of times, we've come up with some quick ways to avoid a timeshare pitch.
