Las Vegas Timeshare

Marriott Vacation Club (Marriott timeshare) has announced the topping out of the third, 37-story tower of its Las Vegas timeshare resort, Marriott’s Grand Chateau. In case you are not familiar with the construction concept of “topping out” (sometimes called topping off), it indicates that the last beam has been set in place during the construction phase of a project.

With an ideal location at 75 East Harmon Avenue, just off the famous Las Vegas Strip, the new tower at Marriott’s Grand Chateau is expected to be ready for occupancy by mid-2014. It has taken just over a year to complete the structure on the high-rise, that when finished will include 233 one-, two- and three-bedroom timeshare villas, ranging in size from 810 to 2,070 square feet.

“We’re extremely pleased with the progress that has been made on our third tower at this great destination and look forward to having our Owners and guests enjoy the new villas and amenities,” says Lee Cunningham, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation. Cunningham adds, “The design of these new villas is exceptional and the resort’s location provides easy access and countless choices for entertainment on the famed Las Vegas Strip.”

What Does It Take to Build Your Timeshare Villa at Marriott’s Grand Chateau?

• 250 workers on-site each day
• An excellent General Contractor, Tutor Perini Building Corp.
• 2,300 truckloads of concrete
• 210 miles of electrical wiring
• 3.5 million pounds of reinforced steel

Yesterday we released the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index (TDI) of the most in-demand timeshare resales and rentals based on the number of offers made through our company’s websites to either buy or rent these timeshares. The Timeshare Demand Index covers a one-year period and only looks at the number of offers made on each resort. When consumers place offers (bids) on timeshare resort properties–either intervals, points, or vacation club memberships–they are establishing the true market value of shared ownership.

Just as importantly, the offers made by buyers and renters of timeshare devastate the myth that there is no demand for timeshare resales. Our first company, Sell My Timeshare NOW, is coming up on 10 years in successful business– a decade! If there truly was no market for timeshare resales and rentals, what could we possibly have been selling for ten full years of business?

The Timeshare Demand Index offers interesting insights on the vacation ownership industry. Current owners can see how their timeshares rank in terms of consumer demand. Also, the TDI gives prospective timeshare owners and renters insights into which properties other families and couples see as desirable, and perhaps even offers insights into how strong the resale demand will be for a property they buy now, should they wish to sell it in the future.

Everyone is encouraged to view and download the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index.   You’ll find the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index here: www.sellmytimesharenow.com/media/pdf/timeshare-demand-index-2013.pdf. You’ll find one Disney Vacation Club timeshare in the top ten most in-demand timeshares, and three other Disney timeshares within the top thirty.

Only one California timeshare, Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas made the top ten list, and remarkably, there were no Las Vegas timeshares in the top ten, although Elara, a Hilton Gran Vacations Hotel, Center Strip did  rank as number 12 on the list.

And what about the bottom of the list? What does it mean if a timeshare resort ranks number 100 on the TDI? Does it mean you shouldn’t buy timeshare at that resort?

Not at all.

Even the 100th resort on the 2013 Timeshare Demand Index is a buzzing property, with more than 200 offers to buy or rent timeshare at that resort facilitated through our company last year.

One of many popular resorts of Marriott Vacations Worldwide (Marriott timeshare) is the Las Vegas timeshare, Marriott Grand Chateau. Already with some 450 timeshare villas, the current phase in development will add another 200-plus timeshare villas in a 36-story tower.

The Las Vegas Review Journal quoted Ed Kinney, vice president, corporate affairs, at Marriott Vacation Club International, as saying that this phase of development is expected to be completed, “sometime in 2014.”

Kinney added, “As a market, Las Vegas goes up and down, but we’ve had a tremendous success in that market (the Las Vegas timeshare vacation market) . We’re happy with this location. The guest’s experience is great.”

Marriott’s Grand Chateau Las Vegas Timeshare Resort

A beautiful Las Vegas timeshare with a great guest experience explains a lot about why Marriott’s Grand Chateau has appeared on the SellMyTimeshareNOW.com Hot Properties  for each of the last four years.  The timeshare resorts that make this list each year are the resorts shown to be most in demand as timeshare resales and timeshare rentals based on the number of offers received to buy or rent timeshare at the VacationOwnership.com LLC websites.
