My parents bought a timeshare here while it was being built.  It is not walking distance from the active part of the strip.  The lobby and the rooms are nice enough, but I suspect they were cheap about certain things.  

We stayed in a two bedroom two bathroom suite.  My first shower turned into a bath because of plumbing problems, but they came up quickly to fix it.  The suite was decent sized and bedrooms were far apart - which I think is VERY important.

There isn't any decent food on site.  Luckily there was a Chipotle within walking distance.

The sales people are like vultures, I was only safe because I was a seemingly single woman who looks young.  Even on the strip they harass people, I finally asked why no one was bugging me and someone said it was because I didn't have a man with me.  I was happy not to be trapped, but how sexist!

My last night I was in the bar and a sleazy guy was making his rounds.  When I showed my disinterest he mocked me for not wearing makeup and having my hair tied back.  Then the drunken jerk started yelling at the band, telling them they suck and generally being nasty.  I find out later, he is one of the SALES people.

I'd stay there again, because it's free for me - but they need to get their act together.

So yes I'm an owner here. Yes I got talked into the presentation and yes I was talked into buying. lol Overall I'm happy with my decision to purchase but not so happy with this resort.

The rooms are extremely nice here. Everything is clean and new with granite countertops and glass shower doors. What I don't like about the rooms is that they all have connecting doors to the room next door. This is annoying when the other guests are loud obnoxious assholes. Also, I really hate having to smell what the people next door are cooking/eating.

Another issue with this place is that the staff members are very rude. All they care about is getting new victims to buy. They don't care about you once you get there.

There is no room service which I think is nuts. Also, you can only get your room cleaned one time. Anything more and they will charge a fee. Ridiculous! When they were trying to sell, they told me there was a business center for all guests. Well of course I get there and it's two computers and a printer. Oh and guess what else? You have to PAY to use them AND the rates are more expensive than on the strip! Are they serious? Do they not realize they all have jobs because of owners like myself? Also why is check out at 10 am? nuts.

My other issue is that there are a massive amount of people who work in this place but no one seems to be doing anything. I mean is it really necessary to have 8 lifeguards? Let's not forget about the 7 limos (which means 7 limo drivers) they keep for the suckers who just bought. Wow you get a ride down the strip in a limo. Woohoo. All this while I have to pay 15 dollars for a cab ride to the airport. Why is it that there are 20 different shuttles at this place (all reserved for potential owners but 1!!!) but none of them can take me to the fricking airport??

Ok so my blood pressure is rising now. I'm gonna have to take one more star off. So there tahiti village. Take your two stars and shove it up your money grubbing asses.

(PS - Their list of shows and discounts changes so this might not be the latest list)

You have to go when they're open and it varies depending on the day.  Sometimes they are there after 5PM, sometimes only till 2pm or 3PM.  Therefore, I recommend getting there early.  

I went there today and tried to purchase the pet comedy tickets but the show is dark till the 23rd...OH NO!  Actually, you don't get to purchase tickets, you purchase vouchers for the tickets.

Basically, go inside and find the elevator and take it to the 2nd floor.  After you get off, walk down a short hallway and turn right.  That is where you purchase everything from.  They accept cash or credit cards.  

No, you do not have to sign up for and take a timeshare presentation tour to purchase the tickets.  They don't even ask who you are or why you are there.

Everything Kori says.. I agree.. and then some.. Good things about this timeshare/hotel is the 42 inch plasma in the master bedroom.. the sauna in your shower (goes up to 212 degrees), if you ever want to pass out quickly for some morbid reason.. stay in the shower/sauna for 30 minutes.. i recommend no more than 20 minutes.. unless you really think you ate too much at the buffet and need to loose 2 inches or so...you got a fridge, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer(all in 1), bar station, view of the pool with mini man made beach, folding sofa bed..and a huge bathroom with a huge bathtub and two sink. Now for the boos...the airport is right there.. you can hear the planes go wiz by..their number of the hotel rooms are weird.. mine was 1212, and the one next to me was 1212a.. so I hear a hard knock at my door at like 5 am, right when i was 30 minutes into my sleep.. woke my ass up.. ignored it..I went back to sleep for another 5.. then banging knock again.. got up.. and open the door.. and this old dh was looking for his friend.. then his friend comes out from 1212a and says oh its this one.. wtf..ok. next there's no room service so I have to lay down on the same bedsheet for 4 days.. i know i do that at my house.. but this is not my house.. next. I look for extra linens and found blood on them..seems like someone had their period..next I smelled the pillow case.. and it smelled like an old rastafari dude just left his head odor for me..so.. the next time I got home again like at 5am and I call room service for an extension on my checkout to 12 (10 am checkout), next the lady says I need to call at 9 am their leader for that to happen.. I told her the reason why Im calling now is so i can get some freakin sleep.. who da hell go to sleep then wakes up in a couple of hours then sleep again.. weird.. so I ask the lady2x.. Who is your leader?.. like in a robotic voice and ask her.. Take me to your leader.. she was pretty piss.. so I just slept and woke up at 10.. next the lobby is like a zoo.. full of sharks trying to sign people in the timeshare..cant really breath.. it seems its all about sales to them.. there must have been so many suits trying to sell this place than people who are staying here..also there is no gaming or slots on property..there should be.. since lots of these people like me might want to go down (slots, tables)somewhere and donate my mulah to the establishment. Housekeeping is 35$ a day if you want it clean..oh ya the door connecting the room.. pretty weird.. pretty weird...

Our friend is an owner of this timeshare. It made our trip super affordable, $75 a night for our own suite. The rooms are really pretty nice. They come complete with a living room and kitchen The decor is very tropical, palm trees galore. Actually it really reminded me of my parents house. Unfortunately we were here when it wasn't exactly pool season. The pool area was really big and super nice. A high of 52 wasn't getting me in my bathing suit.  
    Tahiti Village is about 1 mile away from Mandalay Bay. Not exactly walking distance in Vegas. It was really convenient that they had a shuttle that ran every half hour. The shuttle was always on time and dropped you off a 3 different locations, the Tropicana,  Treasure Island and the Riviera. This service saved us ALOT of money on cabs. Cabs in Vegas start at $3.30. It is a bout $20 to go from the middle of the strip back to the hotel!!!
  We would definitely come back and stay here for the price. You do however really miss being in the mix of everything.
************* one more thing I totally agree with Kori M. Why is there not a shuttle to the airport? They are seriously 7 minutes away, that's a $15 cab ride. I too walked in to the lobby and there were employees sitting around on the couches, just hanging out.
