HGV timeshare experience at Las Vegas Polo Towers
I booked to stay here either way since I need a microwave for warm compresses for dry eyes and they were one of the few hotels on the strip that had a kitchenette for a reasonable amount due to my really short time to book. VIP services suggested I attend the HGV 2 hour presentation for 7 nights at a future Hilton property plus $100 Visa gift card. I'm pretty thick skinned so I thought nothing of it, 10 am on a weekday I was pretty much either going to be watching TV or swimming.
Snacks - coffee, juice/soda from a fountain machine, prepackaged muffins, Oreos, Doritos, potato chips, bottle water.
First sales person was with a woman from Turkey who recently migrated here, seems like she left some troubling circumstances with her husband passing at a very young age. Admirable, I had a lot of respect for her. After some explanations of what it is and rapport building she then brought me a paper that she asked me to fill out and sign that said they would pull my credit info, had the right to contact my employer, could periodically keep pulling my credit info even if I didn't purchase (WTF?), and so on. This is when I refused and she brought up two horrible analogies like this is the type of thing you'd do if you were buying a car, and I had to explain to her you don't get asked a credit pull much less all the other garbage the second you walk into a car dealership, they do the pull when you've shook on a deal. This is when I figured she had turned on me as we were quite friendly up until that point. Tells me not to worry about it and we'd do the main group presentation.
Second woman at this presentation was just phenomenal. She got my cold, hardened soulless, ground down self to smile and nod and raise my hands to her questions. I wish I had taken a photo when she mentioned who she was, she included a photo of herself on a Time cover for top female CEOs and she was (I think) CEO of some motivational speaking company. I'm not sure how legit the Time cover was or it's one of those Forbes puff piece types things you can get written for you and a photoshopped cover. She was definitely the grifter type throwing out terms like manifest this (lmao) and name dropping working for people like Tony Robbins. This was basically 30 minutes of her and her family in these incredible places that you'd have to be making at least low-ish seven figures to do but you know Hilton points baby points (if I had a shot every time points was said, I'd be blackout drunk 1 minute into the presentation) and kept asking us to picture us in the photos instead, basically 30 minutes of humble bragging while showing off these VIP level photos. I did wonder why she was presenting for HGV of all places if she was this huge name.
Brought back out and a second salesman was brought in to join the first. He would not take zero for an answer for the lowest I'd be able to go so I then started pointing out his BS math, this is when the first sales woman let out this obvious exaggerated ugh sigh and theatrically slid down her seat.
Brought to the final person, who I made sure to tell how incredibly rude everyone is and why would I never buy if this is my base level experience with HGV. Made sure to tell him that I was ready to buy an AP Royal Oak watch on the spot if the AP AD had them available as they treated me, someone that walked into the boutique with ragged running shoes (comfortable for walking), plaid shorts and an unbranded t-shirt as if I was the only person in Vegas when I walked into the boutique. This seemed to set him off as he threw it in my face that this is why they don't target single men then stormed off pointing me to gift services. I didn't think there was a more obvious way for him to say "it's easier for us to scam couples"
Reward- now this is where I think Hilton have changed it, From all my searching the gift was supposed to be 3 nights (and even then people were paying resort fees?) or 15k points and possibly a gift card. He told me 7 nights and I had to confirm that with the HGV people before the presentation, they looked at my yellow slip VIP manager filled out and said that was accurate. And after picking up the gift that was correct. I believe the previous groups of people also mentioned this being done through a party and this applies to the offer I was given as well.
Happy to answer any other questions. I searched this forum and there are a couple of other people that made posts on this or put up videos on Youtube. The general impression I had was this was going to be above board (it's Hilton after all) and not timeshare-y like super desperation/aggression and in fact I'd say if you removed HGV/points from all the verbiage that day I would swear it's a generic timeshare presentation.

The flavors seemed concentrated and artificial, with an overwhelming presence of fruit syrup. The wine lacked balance and depth, leaving a cloying aftertaste. I had high expectations for this wine, given its popularity, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype for me.
2. Emily - 1 star - I did not enjoy the McBridee Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend at all. The wine tasted flat and diluted, lacking any distinct flavors or aromas. It had a strange chemical-like aftertaste that was extremely off-putting. Additionally, the wine felt thin and watery on the palate, lacking the body and richness I would expect from a red blend. Overall, I found this wine to be highly disappointing and would not recommend it.
3. Mike - 2 stars - I was excited to try the McBridee Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The wine had a very strong alcohol presence that overpowered any subtle flavors it may have had. The tannins were harsh and drying, leaving an unpleasant sensation in my mouth. The wine lacked complexity and depth, making it a rather one-dimensional experience. I would not purchase this wine again.
