Pawn Stars Raffle Prize

On a recent trip out west we decided to stop by the pawn shop. My wife signed up for a VIP prize pack and yesterday we can a call from a local travel agency claiming we had won the prize. Did anyone else get a call like this???

Here is what they are offering:

2 nights at the Mirage (no blackouts)
VIP tour of all History Channel Shows
$100 credit for listening to 90 minute time share presentation

all for a deposit of $150 ( no additional charges)

Has anyone heard of this or had any similar experiences with this type of things?

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a hell of a prize. RUN! HIDE! DO NOT PASS GO! DO NOT COLLECT $100

This does not surprise me because it sounds to me mostly like a typical time-share type "promotion" plus $100 in Pawn Shop credit plus a VIP Tour of probably all of the History Channel shows that are based around Las Vegas so that would be at least "Pawn Stars" plus "American Restorations" plus probably that new Cars show where the guys buy (from people off the street who they try to stop while they are driving around) and fix up cars plus a 2 night stay at Mirage.

I do wonder if this $100 in Credit has any further restrictions on it (such as for example it only being good on purchases of $200 or more).

So the real question for you is whether paying this $150 to get this stuff is worth it to you.

And from what I understand, "Time Share Presentations" are hard sells and time shares can involve a whole lot of other additional fees. If you actually are interested in getting a time-share, as far as I know, you can get them for less through places like E-Bay.

the average 90 minute timeshare presentation last approx 3.5 hours - plus time on the bus
