If you are referring to Vacation Ventures Inc out of Orlando Fl - I would think long and hard how badly you want to travel for &quot;free&quot; or with discounted rooms.<BR>It took FIVE attempts(following their restricted do's and don'ts list) to book with them(not counting all the non-800 phone calls and return receipt/postage mailing$). You have to pre-pay hundred$ on the hotel rooms , then they'll tell when there's availability.<BR>For us - NEVER,ever again.

Why would you be &quot;dying&quot; for info on a travel company? Are you really that weird?

We were awarded two free nights at the Flamingo Hotel in Reno thru Vacation Ventures, for taking a condo tour in Vermont. We did have to pay some kind of processing fee of about $30, but we did get the two nights free.We found out when we got there the rooms were only $78 a night anyway. I suspect the room was not one of their best, since it overlooked a satelite dish, but it was fine. I think Vacation Ventures sell cheap hotels and off peak flights to businesses to offer as prizes.
