MGM Hotels Aria, Vdara, Mirage, MGM Grand, MGM Entertainment Promotion 2 free tix Bait and Switch scam! Las Vegas, Nevada

Classic Bait and Switch-- but this is a program operated through MGM hotels- !

It's named the MGM Mirage March Entertainment Promotion- Two free tickets to Cirque du Soleil shows- your choice of Elvis, Love, Ka, Zumanity, Believe (oh pleeze...), or other lesser shows- Terry Fator-- etc....

These are sold through 3 day hotel/air packages that include an MGM property- and sold through Delta/Continental Vacations, Travelocity, Expedia, and other "reputable" travel outlets.....

ONLY upon purchase of the package, are you allowed to contact an "offsite" number and make your reservations for NON-EXISTENT Tickets....

The "agent" informed me that none of the Cirque du Soleil shows had seats available on their promotion (NO INDICATION THAT THE PROMOTION WAS LIMITED ...to what were probably obstructed view seats in the first place...) BUT!!!!  She would be happy to sell me tickets for any of those shows at full price!!

This is a classic travel scam- promising great shows- not providing any information about limits- and then unexpectedly having NO Seats-- then turning around and selling those same Free - non existent tickets to you for full price!

What galls me is that MGM City Center- ARIA Hotel and Vdara Hotel and Bellagio are scamming its 5* clients through this bush-league ruse...

As I could not verify details until the package was fully pre-paid- I'll include what I received after paying:

I must note that the language AFTER I PAID has changed from :

Gee-- I guess once they have your money-- your choice goes out the window..

Avoid MGM ARIA and VDARA- and any promotions the offer directly or through airlines, travel sites etc--
