I’m a sucker when it comes to staying in Las Vegas for free. Staying at the Mirage on MGM’s dime? Check. Enjoying five-star service at the Wynn and Encore? You bet. But what if I told you there was a way to score three nights and four days in Sin City for absolutely nothing. No resort fees, no need to pay for a Las Vegas show, not even a single Uber/Lyft charge for transportation up and down the Strip? It exists, and it’s available if you stay at the Tahiti Village Resort & Spa.
What’s Tahiti Village?
Tahiti Village Resort & Spa is an island-inspired oasis on Las Vegas Blvd. just two miles south of the Strip and a short drive from McCarren Airport. It may not be as well-known as other Vegas resorts, but it should be. Every single guest room is a suite, there’s a multi-pool complex that’s on-par with Mandalay Bay and Mirage, and it’s super convenient for maximizing vacation time.
There are zero resort fees, parking is free, everything on the property is just a short walk away, and they provide FREE transportation up and down the Strip every 30 minutes.
So, how do you stay here for free? By taking advantage of one of their complimentary stay offers.
How to Stay at Tahiti Village Resort & Spa for FREE
Tahiti Village Resort and Spa is one of many Las Vegas resorts that offers complimentary stays in exchange for attending a timeshare presentation. If you’re strong-willed and able to say no to sales pitches, this is one of the best timeshare presentation opportunities out there. While their offers may change from time to time, Tahiti Village usually offers a complimentary four day, three night Vegas getaway that may or may not include complimentary show tickets, food credit, and a $100 prepaid cash gift card simply by attending a 90-minute presentation.
While everyone’s experience may be different, below is my experience taking advantage of the Tahiti Village Resort & Spa timeshare presentation complimentary vacation.
How to Get Selected for the Comp Stay
The first step in staying at Tahiti Village Resort & Spa for free is by signing up for a complimentary stay. The link is on their website HERE, where they begin by asking you to enter your name and zip code. You’ll then be directed to enter other information, including ‘are you married or cohabitating,’ seeing if you are 26 years of age or older, and what your household income is. It only takes a moment to sign up and you’ll find out fairly quickly if you ‘qualify’ for the offer or not. If you are ‘selected’ (note the air quotes because almost everyone qualifies), then, you’ll be asked to provide a $100 deposit which is returned to you once you attend the timeshare presentation.
How to Book Your Stay
Once you’ve paid your deposit, you can book your trip over the phone by calling Tahiti Village directly. They do require that you provide at least 30 days notice, but beyond that, there are no limitations. We were able to book an extremely in-demand three day weekend over Spring Break and had absolutely no issues securing a room. The call was quick, the staff was nice, and we received a confirmation email almost instantly.
Tip: Holidays and high-demand nights are available on a first come-first serve basis. If you want to stay in Las Vegas when some rooms can cost upwards of $1,400 (think Super Bowl 2021, New Year’s Eve, and major UFC fights) this becomes an extremely valuable perk of the deal.
The Property
Tahiti Village is hands down, one of the most beautiful timeshare properties that offers completely comped stays. Where some require you still pay $299+ for visiting, this is one of the nicest properties, in one of the most convenient locations, that I’ve looked into.
The resort itself is located only a four minute drive from McCarren Airport and a seven minute drive from Mandalay Bay at the South end of the Strip.
There’s ample parking, a convenient drop-off pick up space, and you’re conveniently located across the street from an outlet mall, a grocery store, and a short walk from the Town Square Plaza.
The entire property is island themed, with a gorgeous lobby that plays aloha-music 24/7, multiple pool areas, a tropical-themed restaurant, and a handful of tiki bars.
If you enjoy lounging by the pool as much as I do, then you’ll definitely enjoy this property. There are family pools, adult-only jacuzzis, waterfalls, lazy rivers, and even a sandy beach. It’s SO themed in fact, that you may forget you’re in the middle of the Nevada desert when there are endless palm trees and Jimmy Buffet classics on replay.
The Rooms
Every room at this all-suites resort is oasis-themed and equipped with a kitchen, a living room, both a shower and a soaking tub, and a pull-out bed. The decor is a little generic and our room began showing slight signs of aging but it had everything I could possibly ask for in terms of amenities, and I loved how our room in the fifth tower had a view of both the lazy river and the Las Vegas Strip.
The Timeshare Presentation
You find out when your timeshare presentation is when you check into your room. We scored a 9 a.m. presentation the morning following check-in, and that was preferred for us, as it allowed us to get the presentation out of the way early on so we could enjoy the rest of our trip.
The check-in process is located within the lobby, across from the check-in desk. You simply let them know what time you were scheduled for, you fill out a quick one-sheet confirming your address, age, relationship status, and income, then you’re handed a giant playing card that helps your agent find you.
We waited about five minutes before our agent was available, and then we headed up an elevator together to the sales pitch room.
It’s similar to most timeshare spaces, with one giant space filled with multiple small tables overlooking the property. You’re offered some complimentary beverages and snacks, treated to a view of their pool complex, and then seated with your agent to dive right into the timeshare pitch.
Since you’re already staying on the property, there’s no tour of the premises or a video you need to watch highlighting how owning a timeshare presentation will add value to your life. Instead, you make some small talk and your agent will try to find some key points in what you mention to sell you the timeshare.
By taking advantage of this timeshare complimentary stay, you give them 90 minutes to try and win your wallet over. For us, we tried making the “no” as easy as possible for our agent, and we were able to reduce the sales time down to about an hour.
Once the pitch ends, you’re escorted to a different room where a different member of the staff will briefly ask you a few questions about your experience ranging from how much you like the property, to how much of a value you consider their timeshare, and what the lowest cost you were offered for the timeshare was.
Finally, you’re escorted to their box office where you get to pick what show tickets you want and receive anything else that was promised to you. There are a variety of Cirque Du Soleil shows to choose from along with other on-the-Strip hot tickets. Since we’ve already seen all Cirque shows, we chose to see OPIUM at the Cosmo which was a $144/per ticket discount. We also received our $100 deposit back in the form of a pre-paid cash gift card and two $25 food and drink vouchers.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking to go to Vegas, you’re ok being off-Strip, and you have 90 minutes to dedicate to a timeshare presentation, this may be worth considering.
For me, I was ok staying a few minutes off the Strip since there were shuttles taking guests to and from the Strip (drop off/pick up locations are at Tropicana and Mirage), the rooms had everything I wanted, and there were so many perks to staying here.
Vegas can be extremely expensive, and the weekend we ended up visiting most hotels (Tahiti included) were going for $250 a night. I was able to save $750 in hotel costs, $290 in show tickets, $50 in food, and at least $50 in transportation costs where I’d usually Uber/Lyft. To have over $1,000 in freebies, this was absolutely worth it to me.
With that said, this offer is only a steal if you’re able to say no to the timeshare presentation pitch. Most people cave in, and that’s why these offers exist…because the properties end up making money in the long run. I advise looking into what other people say online and ensuring you’re able to feel comfortable attending the pitch.

Hmmm…I might consider this when planning a trip to Vegas. Thanks for your insights.
so, this is very interesting. I mean to get a complimentary four day, three night Vegas getaway that may or may not include complimentary show tickets, food credit, and a $100 prepaid cash gift card simply by attending a 90-minute presentation sounds simple enough.
Darcee & I have stayed at some of our friend’s time shares off the strip on several occasions now and they have all been absolutely grand and relatively easy to deal with getting to the other sites a bit aways too.
So the question is, do I have to bring Darcee to the presentation or can I send her away so she doesn’t buy us a timeshare?
Woah, what an amazing deal! We heard of a similar deal in Whistler, but for that one you had to pay $199 for four nights, and then listen to the timeshare presentation. I am so impressed that this version is totally free *and* they give you other gifts too.
I can totally see why you’d go for it.
I wonder how often it works and they sell a timeshare!?
Wow, I didn’t even know this was a thing. You had me at ‘FREE!’ I’ve been offered this type of thing only once but we had to attend the sales pitch first before even booking the weekend. With young kids at the time it was too difficult. I reckon as long as you can stay strong and not get swayed into the sale, it’s a great idea.
We did the same for Trump tower its time consuming to do time square but it’s worth our extra time when wedid it as I was so curious about time square during those time.
Las Vegas has so many things to do and I’m glad you’re enjoying your time there.
Okay, so this sounds interesting as I don’t think I’ve ever heard any resort around here that offers the same service as this Tahiti Village Resort and Spa in Indonesia. I gotta say I’m not quite familiar with the concept, but this sounds like a good experience that you have there. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
It is hard to imagine that a resort will offer a free 3N stay just to attend a 90 minutes presentation. The offer looks simply unreal. Their salesman must be having a great scoring rate that they give this offer to anyone.
A free stay in a Las Vegas resort just for attending a timeshare presentation? Sounds too good to be true. But obviously it is true because you guys did it. I’m sure it’s something that’s quite achievable but I just have visions of an episode of South Park where they attend a presentation in Asspen haha!
There’s literally locations EVERYWHERE. Orlando, Miami, Manhattan, Maui, etc. After having such a pleasant experience doing it here, I kind of want to do it again at the other resorts. Wyndham is huge on timeshares and could definitely help if I want to travel somewhere during an expensive weekend. And I totally thought of the South Park episode as well. That was a good one!
I’d been to Las Vegas so many times for events and festivals, but never knew that you could stay at resorts for free by attending a timeshare presentation! In fact, I’d never even heard of a timeshare presentation until now. Definitely very interesting although I’d most likely be one of those people you said that caves in hahaa.
Haha I totally get it! We were just really fortunate to have an easy going person. They realize within the first minute or two if they can bait you into it or not. Our guy just realized he was never going to get our business and then we just talked about the hotels on the Strip for the last 45 minutes. It wasn’t a hard sell at all. And next time you’re in Vegas consider the other ways you can stay for free as well – the MyVegas app and Wynn rewards. They’re not timeshares and you get amazing rooms for free!
This is such a creative option to experience LV at a relatively low, or no, cost. It would be interesting to know what there success rate is to continue to offer this deal for travellers.
Good question! They’ve actually been doing this for years – and they continue to offer the deal here and at their other property on the Strip. We were able to say no to the timeshare offer, but apparently, enough people cave in and say yes that it still makes sense to them to offer this. 🙂
This would be such a great experience what is the income required
I recommend you call them just to have an up-to-date answer, but for us I believe it was $70k. They don’t ask for proof of income in-person though, just your ID and proof of address.
