As of today (9-10), there are 15,460 deeds exchanged. The lottery will be on Sept 28, and the company will notify SB of the winners on Oct 6. The winners will then be notified by mail.
 
Great News

Thanks Sandy for the update.

That is only about 60%, but still more than some had thought would be sent in at this point.

If I have it right, only those that had sent in (postmarked) by 9/1 are eligible for the lottery?

Thanks,
Joe
 
Does anyone know how many 2 bedroom units are available in the lottery?

It may have been stated been stated in the other posts but reading them is a bit like reading War and Peace (in more ways than one):eek:
 
Only one bedrooms are eligible for the upgrade to a 2 bedroom. And only those that were returned by Sept 1

Also, studios were automatically upgraded to one bedroom. So those owners do not have to do anything - they are automatically winners!

I don't know exactly how many 2 bedrooms are available for the lottery. Someone else here might post the answer.

I get the sense that SB has many more one bedrooms than 2 bedrooms, but don't know the exact breakdown.
 
Everyone gets an upgrade!

Jmsmom, the number you are looking for is aprox 4300. but... everyone gets a bigger/nicer unit first there are only 1 and 2 bedroom units at the new complex. 2 different floor plans in each. as stated they have no studios. so all studio and Jr. 1bdrm (Executive) get an upgrade to a full 1 bdrm. the Plaza, Fountians and Winick 1 bdrms with 2 baths get automaticaly upgraded to a 2 bedroom. there are aprox 4300 other 1 bedroom owners that will be eligible for a 2 bedroom upgrade at no cost due to a shortage of avail. 1 bdrms. there were something like 8-9,000 eligible 1 bedrooms for the lotery. the worst case odds were like 43% but that assumes that all eligible 1 bdrms transfered paperwork by sept1. I suspect given the # deeds transfered to date that the odds are more like 55-60% all of the Desert Club units are bigger sq. ft wise than the current resort. so Basicaly everyone gets a bigger un it. Welcome! Bob

Any idea if there is any way to find out prior to that. We are leaving for a 2 1/2 week trip to Greece on Oct 5th. We will have to wait until we get home to find out.

Sandy L, I think we are all on the "edge of our seats" waiting for the outcome of the lottery! but even if the Resort is notified of the results on Oct 6 it's unknown when we the owners will actually find out via mail. historicaly promised mail from the resort has been slow coming:) Enjoy your trip! of course.... if it's really bothering you, I'll go to Greece for you and you can stay home and wait for the mail:D RT
 
I just returned from Summer Bay this morning. We are not in the lottery, as all of our units are 2br. The good news is that the crews are getting ready to begin remodeling the Desert Club apartments full force. I was advised some are already completed. One source expects the completion date to be in the summer of 2008 and another source said November 2008 at the latest. I was told that no one will be able to occupy Summer Bay at Las Vegas Desert Club until all the units are ready for occupancy. It will be a total transition. :cheer:
 
I was thinking of calling to see if they can tell the result over the phone. Has anyone tried this? If so post here - I am tied up most of the day and might not be able to get to it til later this evening.
 
Sandy,
I'll call this morning. However, it won't be for a few hours due to the time difference.

They weren't able to disclose anything over the phone. However, the results will be mailed shortly. Good luck to everyone!
 
Hi all

I called too this afternoon and the lady I spoke to said they dont even have the results yet and won't have them until Monday. She said they are only notifiying people by mail but said to call back in a week or so and they would be able to give the results over the phone.

I also asked what the process for the winners would be as far as paperwork but she had no idea what it would look like.

:)
 
I just called and the lady - somewhat snarky- informed me that the lottery itself only happened last Friday, they received the list on Monday and sometime in the next 2 to 3 weeks they may send out the letters letting people know what they results were. :doh: They will not be talking to folks over the phone.

I expressed my frustration at the length of the process and that it was aggravating to get such different information from different folks in their office and her response was "oh I think they were just telling you what you wanted to hear" ARGGHH

Well, at least you won't accuse her of THAT!
 
I'm going to be in Vegas from the 18th to the 23rd and I'm going to attempt to get my results live and in person. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Summerbay has the lottery results

Unfortunately we didn't win, but hopefully someone here did.


The reason I found this out was that yesterday I received a letter from the deed exchange people saying that they hadn't gotten my deed exchange paperwork yet :eek: it was dated September 10th :doh: so I called to find out why the papers I sent via UPS August 21 weren't in their system. They said they had a "glitch"

Anyways when I asked again about the results they said that Summerbay had them and they were responsible for letting folks know if they won.

I called the main 1 -877 number (sorry don't have it handy) and they looked up the results for me.

Good luck!
