...shareowners, a time-sharing vacation can offer the advantages of a vacation home without the large initial investment or steady upkeep. At the Playboy resort, for example, Larry Leven, a $35,000-a-year Chicago insurance executive, and his family recently spent a week in a condominium that normally costs $135 a day.

"Say, could you add one more thing," he asked. "I'd appreciate it if you'd mention that I hope people don't wait to see what the next performance might bring." He smiled again.
