The Las Vegas Hilton exceeded my expectations. I booked a Premium Room and upon checkin was offered an upgrade of a Resort Club room for and additional $20 per night. As we checked in around midnight they did not charge us for the upgrade for the first night. We stayed a total of 5 nights. They gave us a Strip View room on the 26th floor and the North Tower has 29 floors, so we could not have asked for any more. Resort Club offers you access from 6am to 8pm in the lounge on 24th floor – continental breakfast, lunchtime cookies and evening cheese wine and beer. Lots of other freebies included, local calls, newspaper, bathrobes , etc, etc, etc. Fresh fruit, tea, coffee. Juices, soft drinks and water are available all day - eat in or take out. Room was large, clean and everything worked. Housekeeping were very efficient, front desk was busy but they handled the numbers with a pleasant attitude. The hotel is a far way from the strip, but has its own Monorail Station and a 3 day pass on the Monorail only costs $28 and is a must as each one way ride will cost you $5. Great hotel and NO noise from the strip.

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.
