A new travel program is now available to members of the UNLV Alumni Association. The program gives association members discounted rates on resort condo rentals, hotel accommodations, and car rentals, thanks to a partnership with Cendant Corp. and its subsidiaries Resort Condominiums International and RCI Holiday Network.
The UNLV Alumni Association receives $25 for each week of vacation booked through the program. “This program is a win-win,” says Fred Albrecht, executive director of the association. “Everyone likes to go on vacation, and these prices can’t be beat. Not only does this new agreement enable our members to enjoy a quality, fun, and affordable time with their family and friends, it helps us with revenue and scholarships for our association.”
Rentals include condos, chalets, and cottages within a network of more than 3,700 resorts in the United States and abroad. Discounts of 20 to 25 percent are available on Avis and Budget car rentals and at hotel chains Travelodge, Days Inn, Super 8, and Howard Johnson.
Prices for the resort condo rentals are just $349 for a seven-night stay at properties in the “Off-Season I and Short Notice” category. These fully furnished condos have up to two bedrooms and contain equipped kitchens. Many units include a fireplace, whirlpool tub, bar with glasses, washer-dryer, and screened-in porches or balconies, as well as on-site or nearby recreational facilities.
The $349 weekly rental price normally applies to off-season or short-notice vacations. Short notice generally refers to three days to six weeks prior to check-in. Other prices are available depending on the season, location, size of accommodations, and time of booking.
Many of the units are oceanfront or lakefront properties and normally rent for up to $2,000 a week.
“Keep in mind that flexibility is the key,” Albrecht says. “The inventory is constantly changing, so it’s best to keep checking back on the website or calling the toll-free number to see what’s available.”
