Arthur Spector Companies Acquired Former Consolidated Resorts Group

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

Tahiti Village, Tahiti and Club de Soleil resorts were part of the Consolidated Resorts group of properties acquired. The Las Vegas headquartered company completed the acquisition of all of its timeshare inventory and operating assets of Consolidated Resorts, which had filed for bankruptcy in June 2009 when its major lenders had discontinued funding due to the effects of the credit crisis and the slumping economy. The closing of the sale from the bankruptcy estate is the first in a series of planned transactions that will result in the Spector family investing more than $30 million back into the local Las Vegas economy. The Arthur Spector Companies has been a leading timeshare resort developer in Las Vegas, Hawaii and Florida for more than 30 years.
