Top Spots for Cheap Luxury Hotels

Why: Las Vegas is an evergreen trade for timeshare lovers.

What We Found: Hilton Grand Vacation Clubs has three properties right on or just off the Strip. We found an HGVC resale at the Las Vegas Hilton for $5,000 on RedWeek.com, and $3,100 on eBay for the Flamingo. You can even whoop it up for as little as $136 a night by renting at the Flamingo.

Reality Check: No doubt, there seems to be a bottomless pit of low rates in Vegas: through Hilton’s Web site we found rooms at the HGVC for as low as $119 a night. A new unit at the new HGVC on the Las Vegas Strip sells from $12,000 to $50,000; the Las Vegas Hilton and Flamingo no longer have new units, according to HGVC.
