First off, I am a HHonors Diamond member, and have been for 4 years (40+ stays/year and about 100 nts/year). This was the first time I stayed at a Hilton Grand Vacations Club -- and will likely be the last. I usually stay at the LV Hilton when in town, but it was full this time.

The primary reason I seek to book with Hilton is the loyalty program. The HGV Club has minimal benefits (I received one voucher for continental breakfast for one person in the overpriced Marketplace even though I was there for 4 nights). There is no executive lounge, and WiFi was down for over 24 hours. There was a business center with 4 computers (to handle 60+ floors of guests in the two buildings), so you cannot expect to do any work there. There are no privileges for the HHonor benefits extended at the regular Hilton (about 3/4 mile away). I complained to the Guest Services/Welcome desk but was told that not giving complementary anything to HHonors people who are there more than 1 day was a new corporate decision. They wanted people to spend in the Marketplace store (breakfast of a biscuit sandwich, yogurt and coffee was about $10; a bottle of water was about $3).

I was upgraded to a 1BR suite at check-in, which was nice. But having the doorbell ring at 8am by the cleaning staff (even on weekends) was not much fun.

The HGV Club would be fine for vacations -- the pool looked nice and the room was spacious. But if you are there for business or appreciate HHonors perks -- look elsewhere. I surely will next time (I am back in LV for 3 more business trips in the next year).

My family (myself, wife and 2 year old son) stayed here for our vacation (I also attended a conference at another hotel) and were quite pleased with our stay.

Getting here from the airport, other than the strip traffic, was easy and the location closer to the end of the strip not at all inconvenient as long as your willing to drive (may I recommend in the future avoiding the strip to get to places and instead taking the side streets... much faster and saves a headache or 2). Our check in process was painless as well the self parking (uncovered).

We booked a 1 bedroom suite and we found it nice, clean and roomy. The living room really does have a Bose sound system/DVD player and so our toddler very much enjoyed relaxing by the tv. There is some annoying noise coming from the outside on the strip as there is construction that seems to be going on 24/7. A recommendation would be to bring ear plugs for after we bought them our sleep was quite undisturbed.

The pool, although on the small side, was quite cozy and fun. The water never gets deeper than 3'6" and the fountains are quite fun for a toddler to play with. We were told the pool was heated but this did not seem the case at all... one of the few disapointments for the hotel.

The marketplace and gym downstairs were more than adequate. Nothing fancy but everything you could possibly want was there. My wife ventured to the spa here and found it quite up to par with other spas she had been to (I have no clue how to evaluate spas).

This resort/hotel is also part of the Hilton Vacations Club Timeshare thing but we felt none of the salesmanship that goes on with those kinds of presentations (we were never asked to go to one as far as I remember).

If we come back to Vegas, we'll defenitely shop around but keep this place in our rotation for years to come.

I have just returned from my VEGAS trip which I went with 5 other girls. We are in our early 20's and decided to stay at this hotel because we found it to be quite affordable. I must admit, before getting to the hotel, I was a bit nervous because I honestly did not know what to expect with this hotel but was pleasantly surprised. I loved everything about this hotel. The staff were soooo nice to us. The rooms were super clean and the hotel itself was quite impressive. It's nice and comphy (unlike other vegas hotels)............Grand hilton,however,does not have any restaurants inside the hotel, they only have a tiny deli downstairs but it has STARBUCKS coffee and yummy turkey sandwiches so no worries.....The flamingo hotel is right next to it and you can use their pool and casino.......its an amazing hotel i loved it...........u can also walk to nearby hotels such as the MIRAGE and ceasars palace..however, for us girls (in our heels), it was best to take cabs everywhere!!!!
The only negative thing i would say about this hotel would be that the shower is super slow....it took me about 20minutes to take a 5minute shower because the shower is sooo slow, if you speed it up, the temperature rises so it gets kinda annoying and HOT! anyways, overall i loved the hotel, i think the service was great and just the overall atmosphere of the hotel was fantastic......I hated the people at the front desk, they weren't very helpful but the staff and doorman were!!!!!!!!!!

Determining which hotel to stay for a surprise trip for my husband's 40th birthday was the biggest struggle I had. I finally stumbled upon TripAdvisor's reviews for the Hilton Grand Vacations Club and booked it. We are so glad we stayed there. Las Vegas is such a smoky town, and it was so welcoming to walk into a nonsmoky lobby and floors. Sure, there were the usual congregants near the doorways, but it was just about heaven compared to the 8 or so hotels with casinos that we walked through. Our room was clean, our service was efficient. The marketplace downstairs was good for a few provisions, and it's now open 24 hours a day. Based on the reviews here, I rented a car and was glad we did. The major hotels all have free parking. We took one walk the first day we were there and it was long in the dry desert air. The hotel is relatively quiet. We had a room overlooking Circus Circus and the new Trump Tower. The room darkening shades made it easy for us to sleep until noon one day without realizing it! Hotel comes with free internet, a DVD player, and a CD player my husband couldn't figure out how to work (we used the DVD). We used the toaster every day and were glad to have a refrigerator. The only constructive comment I have is they need to update their web site directions from the airport to direct people from the new airport rent-a-car center. Getting there was more challenging than we expected. A wonderful stay at a wonderful hotel.
