Geo Holiday Scam! las vegas International

I'm 100% disabled veteran. We were at Wet N' Wild when we were approached by a saleswoman named Tina from Geo Holiday (white, large build, 40s, short dark hair, large tattoo on right upper arm). I spun a wheel and then went over to talk to her. I usually avoid these things because it's a common rumor that they're a scam.

She told me that she was going to give us 3 nights in California plus tickets to one of the theme parks, three nights in Hawaii and she gave us a bunch of "free" (fine print requires drink purchase and / or box office fees) for shows around town.

I told her I was a veteran and that we were both born and raised here. I told her that our combined monthly income didn't meet the requirement, but she told me it didn't matter, "because they don't check it."

I asked her what the "catches" were in regards to the "mini-vacations" as she called them and she told me there were none. She told me there were no blackout dates and we could use them anytime. The only "catch" she said was we had to, "go sit through some boring a*s seminar for 90-minutes ... just say no to everything ... then at the end they would give us our "gifts"' I also had to give her a $20 deposit.

We couldn't make our first scheduled seminar as I was sick. Didn't make the second one because of a family emergency. Then she calls and offers us $100 restaurant gift card on top of the two mini-vacations. Didn't make the third one because I was sick again.

When we finally did go, they really don't verify your income. The beginning of the seminar is stress-free. At the end, when they want to sell their product ... well, this is when the high pressure sale tatics come in to play.

After we said no to our "guide" her manager came over and offered the package to us for HALF the price. After we said not to him, his manager came over and offered it to us for half of the already offered half off price!

When they realized we weren't going to buy it their attitudes did a 180 ... they went from nice and caring to rude and cold. They brought us to the checkout room. Tina left off the 3-day stay Hawaii mini-vacation and we left with the voucher for the California trip along with the gift card.

It took us four days to reach Tina about the Hawaii trip. Prior to us attending the seminar she would answer our phone calls / texts almost instantaneously. We called her from my phone and she didn't answer. 30 minutes later she I called her from a friend's phone and she answered immediately. She said she was out of town and would contact when she got back; that was two weeks ago.

When we read the fine print for the California voucher there were so many things we had to do. First we had to fill it out and send it in and wait about 60 days for a response. Once we received the response we had to do something else. Then after that we had to do another thing. Then, after all of that was completely we had to request dates within a 30 day window and IF they could accommodate it they would ... and it wouldn't have been free like Tina said, because of taxes and hotel fees.

and the $100 restaurant gift card? That was a lie too ... we can't just go use it "at any restaurant in Vegas" like she said. First we have to go through this long process (just like the California vacation) and then we "may" be able to use it at a very limited listing of restaurants if they can accommodate.
