Booked this hotel trough booking.com with huge discount (from $999 to $199) so it was a great value for the money. The hotel doesn't look much from the outside, but inside is a tipical Hilton, clean, with great rooms. Got an upgraded room for free! Casino is huge but comparing to others on the Strip not really breath taking. Pool looks bigger on photos, nut is ok, mostly visited by kids and middle aged guests. Pool parties are for middle aged too (guy with a guitar, country songs etc). Location is ok, but off the Strip (10 min walk from Riviera hotel). They charge high speed internet $13,99 (hate that). Food: Pizza Hut, and a few low budget and high budget places. Great coffee at Paradise caffe. The smartest thing is to eat at Hilton buffet - great choice of foods for $14.00 + tax (breakfast and lunch) and $17.00 + tax. Sounded expensive to us, but other places in Vegas are even more expensive and don't look that nice.

This hotel just doesn't feel like a Hilton, but rather a hotel that looks to take your money at every step...so basically Vegas, lol. They a lot charge for everything! ATM fees $5.50, Coffee pot in room: $12, the list goes on and on.

Check-in took more than an hour the lines were massive and they were completely understaffed. There was a bumbling staff member who placed people in the lines (VIP or not), but otherwise she just stood by watching the horror show of check-in continue. She should have jumped behind the desk to help the staff, but nope.

My confirmation number didn't work when I finally got to the desk, nor did the numbers of anyone traveling in our group. Apparently they gave us some bad info. To make matters worse, our rooms weren't ready. Luggage drop was overfilling with baggage, so I just left my luggage in someone else's room and came back after my first meeting.

We never had enough towels in the hotel room, once we never even got washcloths. I've stayed in other Hiltons before and this was really subpar. The furniture was worn and the iron was really bad (yes that was free).

There is a monorail station in the hotel, and the city bus stops right in front of the hotel (if you're going to/from the airport, use this option. It costs $1.75, no transfers needed!!). However, I always felt distant from the strip life because it is so far away. Even the strip hotel bus doesn't stop there, which is a minus.

Expect to wait a few minutes for the elevators. There are 6 for every 15 floors or so and it always seemed to take a long time, even though nobody was ever in the elevators when I got on.

The restaurants in the hotel were good. I dined at Bennihana once and it was great, although pricey.

There are better options in Vegas than this hotel.

I stayed at the Las Vegas Hilton at the end of May, 2009 to attend a conference that was held there.

I had read all the reviews on TripAdvisor so I knew to ask for an updated room when I made my reservation. My room was updated and lovely although curiously enough the bathroom did not have any towel racks. However, the air conditioning fan must have been a holdover and was so loud that I had to turn off at night when I went to sleep.

On the second night of my stay, two people checked into the room next door. I was appalled when I realized that I could hear EVERY word. I turned the fan back on in the hope that the consistency of the loud hum might overcome the noise from next door and help me to fall asleep.

The hotel does have a nice pool area on the 3rd Floor and I did get a terrific massage in their spa.

On the other hand, the location of the hotel is poor and it's very far away from the strip.

It's not a terrible hotel - if you get an upgraded room; however, if you have a choice of location, I would suggest that you look around and find another hotel.

The Las Vegas Hilton was alot easier on the eyes once you got into the room. I was so surprised at the updated decor. The only thing was the service was not that great and I wish I would have done more research on the location. I wanted to be where all the action is, but the Hilton is located very far North on the strip. (Totally my fault) We went for happy hour at this little Mexican restaurant inside the hotel and I think the coctail waitress was late, because the bartender was by himself and was in the weeds from the time we got there until we left. The Hilton is ok, but shop around for better hotel deals before booking.
