We were staying at the Venetian and there's a misnomer called \"Guest Services\" as you're leaving the Venetian and entering the Grande Canal Shopping area -- what it *is* is the Grandview Resort timeshare salespeople. They *act* like they're with the Venetian and offer all sorts of \"free canal rides,\" \"free tickets to the Motown show,\" blah blah blah...if you listen to a \"brief two hour presentation.\"  The next day, a busload of fellow gullible vacationers were shuttled out to Grandview. We're given the hardsell the minute we get off the bus. Then we're \"assigned a personal assistant\" (read: salesperson) who follows us into the Presentation Room, where a very slick (LONG) presentation takes place. Then we're brought upstairs and presented with several different timeshare purchase options. We said, \"No thanks.\" Then, the salesperson's \"supervisor\" takes over the table and gives an even harder sell, despite our complete honesty in saying, \"No thanks,\" she said, \"Instead of talking yourselves *out* of this, you need to be asking yourselves why you *wouldn't* want to participate in this.\"  At this point, we had been there NO LESS THAN FOUR HOURS. When we were finally \"released\" to another room \"to collect our gift vouchers,\" even THAT person gives another \"lowest price available\" schpeel.  GOING ON FIVE HOURS (not \"a brief two-hour presentation\"), we *finally* were loaded back on our bus to go back to our hotel.  This is a complete scam!  If we had a extra surplus of cash, timeshares aren't altogether a bad thing -- but I would *not* buy into THIS resort, based on our terrible-awful experience at the \"presentation\" (read: incarceration).  Beware of any booths with signage that says, \"Guest Services\" unless you're actually in a hotel lobby -- chances are it's this group.  We wouldn't have felt so \"used and abused\" if they stuck to the \"short 2-hour presentation\" they promised...but they bus you out--in the middle of the desert--and you're a \"prisoner\" of Grandview until they \"release\" you five hours later. Two words: NEVER AGAIN.
