Ghouls, ghosts and goblins (not to mention witches, werewolves and warlocks, vampires, zombies and maybe just maybe the elusive spotted banshee) are sure to be out in force when we celebrate Halloween at our second annual Haunted Carnival on Monday, Oct. 31.

The event begins with trick or treating around the property and finishes inside the Island Courtyard, where we’ll have music, games and a costume contest. Please visit the front desk in the main lobby building starting at 4:30 p.m. to pick up trick-or-treat bags, maps and goodies. The costume contest is slated for 6 p.m.

Our Haunted Carnival promises a great time for the entire family, and best of all, admission is absolutely free!

Timeshare Vs. Peer-To-Peer Rentals: What’s the Verdict?

Blog,  Events and Activities,  General,  Miscellaneous,  RCI/Interval International,  Reservations,  Special Events,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

A recent popular trend has become share or peer-to-peer vacations – like Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway – where vacationers rent rooms or houses directly from homeowners. For most families a vacation is a once-a-year event, where everything needs to go right to fully enjoy the relaxation a vacation provides. Yet, people are still going on vacations that don’t fully meet their needs, even through these peer-to-peer services.

While this type of vacation can work for some people, a recent survey of over 1,000 vacationers conducted for the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) by research group Leger revealed many drawbacks. Respondents said they least liked the fact that there was no housekeeping (47%), no concierge/front desk (23%), and that it was not a part of a resort (17%).

Now while this survey showed the things vacationers who use peer-to-peer services did not like, it also showed some of the things that they found very beneficial to their vacation enjoyment. Two of the main things respondents cited were the fact that their rented unit had a kitchen and that there were multiple rooms.

So, what offers these in-demand amenities without the downside of the drawbacks found in peer-to-peer rentals? Timeshare resorts like Tahiti Village!

According to a recent article in Hotel Management Magazine, “A quick glance at the media hype surrounding Airbnb, HomeAway and other sharing economy hotel alternatives would lead many to believe that these companies are the founders of a new concept that is revolutionizing the industry. But, in fact, another facet of the hotel industry¬—timeshare—considers itself the ‘original’ sharing economy, and has the facts to make a compelling case.”

Timeshare accommodations offer a large living space that includes a kitchen for when you want to cook your own meals as well as multiple rooms that give you both space to be together as a family or privacy to be alone. And, most timeshares also offer housekeeping, a concierge/front desk and a resort style property. Ultimately, timeshares offer the size and space that peer-to-peer services offer while also providing the key amenities that have almost become expected during a vacation. The last thing you should be thinking on vacation is vacuuming!

Football is back

17 South Booze & Bites,  Blog,  Events and Activities,  General,  Miscellaneous,  ReservationsPosted on

You’ve suffered long enough.

The last meaningful football game occurred seven months ago, when the Broncos slobberknockered the Panthers to win that game we can’t mention by name – or else.

In the meantime you’ve had basketball, hockey and baseball to mitigate the withdrawal symptoms, but who are we kidding?

It’s football you want and now it’s football you will get with this Thursday’s NFL season opener, a rematch of Denver’s 24-10 championship victory over Carolina way back in February.

The renewal of another football season – that annual rite of fall so graciously bestowed upon us by the Pigskin Deity – also means the return of great food and drink specials at 17° South Booze & Bites. Game day offerings include $3 Bud and Bud Light drafts, $17 Bud and Bud Light bottle buckets, $4 Jack Daniel’s and Ketel One cocktails, and $5 appetizers and stadium style specials. .

If you’re visiting Tahiti Village in the next four months you won’t miss a minute of the action. We’re showing all the nationally televised pro and college games on our 10 widescreen televisions.

Join us all season for nonstop football action and great food and drink specials!

You never know what you’ll find at the Wiki Wiki, but it’s bound to be something you can’t live without. Like a hula girl shot glass.

One of the keys to running a successful resort gift shop is the ability to meet a variety of practical needs while getting you to buy a snow globe. Striking the proper balance between necessities and souvenirs requires insight into what is required and what is desired, a professorial understanding of vacation buying psychology, and a keen eye for inventory presentation.

Las Vegas gift shops satisfy those criteria better than any in the world. In a one-of-a-kind city that attracts millions of visitors, they get a lot of practice. But it’s more than that. They have an uncanny capacity to draw in customers without even trying, acting as a Field of Dreams strewn with dice clocks.

Here at Tahiti Village, the Wiki Wiki transcends the narrow definition of gift shop through its dual function as a minimart and snack bar. We say that with the understanding that, for some of you, a Cup O’ Noodles or a frozen burrito may constitute a gift. Therefore, in the interest of clarity, we hereby consign inventory items to their traditional categories: food, groceries and remedies under Essentials; apparel, costume jewelry and flasks under Novelties.

The ratio of one to the other within Wiki Wiki’s inviting retail space appears roughly 50-50 to the naked eye – a virtual even split between stuff you need and stuff that wages war with your resistance and magically opens your wallet.

You know what we’re talking about:  the myriad alluring items waiting on shelves and hanging on racks for you to discover, some of them loud and verbose (BUY ME! BUY ME!), others quiet and unassuming (buy me! buy me!).

So go ahead and splurge. Grab that coconut coin bank hand-carved as a jungle savage. Take home a Tiki tumbler or two. And what would a trip to Tahiti Village be without a hula girl shot glass? These and so much more can be yours at the Wiki Wiki. And don’t forget about our new online store, where you can purchase a selection of Tahiti Village apparel items that are also available at the Wiki.

As the onsite store for a timeshare resort, the Wiki Wiki’s primary function is to provide you with a facsimile, albeit in miniature, of your home supermarket (minus a meat counter and produce aisle). Any practical human need, want or desire that can possibly arise, be it pharmacological, biological or technological, the Wiki Wiki has thoughtfully provided for.

And that’s a very comforting thought, particularly when you’ve just split the inseam on your favorite pair of pants before a night out in Vegas and could sure use a travel sewing kit.

 

Vacation ownership at Tahiti Village now an even greater value

Blog,  Events and Activities,  General,  Miscellaneous,  Pool and Lazy River,  Reservations,  Special Events,  Suites/RoomsPosted on

 

 

An increase in lodging rates in 2015 – up more than 18 percent over the previous year owing to a rise in travel frequency – now more than ever underscores the value of vacation ownership.

Consistency of cost is a timeshare hallmark, and while hotel room pricing rose to an average of $102.64 per night in 2015 from $86.55 in 2014, your vacation club remained unaffected by market trends and subsequent supply and demand economics.

Ownership means you are never subject to the unpredictable pricing practices of opportunistic Las Vegas hotels, whose rates rise exorbitantly with each UFC event, mega boxing match or New Year’s Eve weekend.

Conversely, the cost of timeshare ownership remains steady and affordable, with property upkeep through the responsible application of maintenance fees the primary objective – not the wringing of every last dime out of the consumer.

As you’ve discovered, timeshare ownership at Tahiti Village is a great bet, and as we celebrate our 10 anniversary this year, we are humbled and honored to count you among our thousands of vacation club members. We take seriously our responsibility to provide you with a beautifully maintained property and look forward to helping you make wonderful vacation memories year after year.

Easy Meals In Your Vegas Hotel Kitchenette

ReservationsPosted on

 

One of the best ways to save money on a Las Vegas vacation is to get a room with a kitchenette.  You’ll save hundreds by preparing your own meals instead of eating out during every meal.  Hardly anyone wants to spend their entire vacation cooking, however.  That’s why we’ve come up with these easy meals that are simple to make in a small kitchen.

Chef Salad

This is a great meal because it doesn’t require you to actually cook anything at all.  It’s also nice to have some fresh vegetables after eating airport food.  At a grocery store, just buy pre-washed, bagged lettuce, your favorite vegetables and some cold cuts and cheese.  Chop up everything and make a salad.  Best of all, if you buy some bread you can turn your leftovers into a portable lunch for the next few days.

Spaghetti and sausage

All you need for this recipe is the ability to boil water and a pot.  You can make it on a single burner.  Place the sausage in the pot and cook thoroughly.  Leave it in the pot and add water.  As the water boils, add noodles.  Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water and add a jar of pre-made spaghetti sauce.  Turn off the burner, and spoon the warm sauce, cooked sausage and noodles onto plates.

Chicken and rice

Lay 2-3 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast.  Cook on med-high for five to ten minutes.  Then, add 2 cups of water to the skillet and one cup of quick-cook rice.  Cook until the rice is ready, then eat.  If desired, add a side salad or other vegetable.

Microwave S’more

This is an easy dessert to make, and the kids can even do it themselves.  Place one marshmallow per family member on a plate and microwave on High for 15-20 seconds.  Marshmallows will get hot and puffy very quickly.  Remove from microwave and use a spoon to scoop each one onto graham crackers with chocolate.

Tacos

This is a great meal if you’re serving a large crowd.  Brown hamburger meat in a skillet.  Season with a store-bought seasoning packet or just use a blend of chili powder and paprika.  While the meat is browning, chop up lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cheese.  Have everyone make their own dinner by scooping their own meat and toppings into tortillas.  If desired, serve with chips and salsa or guacamole.  By the way, there are several specialty shops in Vegas that offer spices and hot sauces that you just can’t find anywhere else.  You might want to bring back something special before making this meal.

Hamburger Stroganoff

You can make this meal in one skillet.  Start by browning a pound of hamburger meat.  Season with pepper and salt.  Once it’s cooked, add two cups of water and one cup of egg noodles.  While the noodles are cooking, add a package of onion soup mix.  Serve as soon as the noodles are fully cooked.  If desired, pair this dish with a side salad or vegetable.
