It's worth buying a timeshare under the above conditions - if - you consistently trade it for high end resorts, where the weekly stay would really cost you a heck of a lot more than what you pay on your own yearly dues.

Las Vegas -> You can rent as a non owner a 2 bedroom condo within a timeshare resort for about 300 USD a week (taxes included).
