There is a sign in front of the hotel that says: Las Vegas Hilton! It's been there forever - as the hotel - and it shows! For a special US$45 a night with free breakfast I shouldn't complain. I have to say that the rooms are nice, comfortable and spacious, but that is it. The rest is like a Super 8 hotel with a seedy and tacky casino. If you can pass that, enjoy your stay.

I would like to say that this hotel was comparble to any 4 star. What has me writing the review is that fact that housekeeping came in w/ a dnd sign on the door. At first when I realized, it was no big deal. Later that night I couldn't find my gaming voucher for 52.50. I called security and a long story short the hotel manager offered to repay me the money or take care of my upgrade charges. Very professional and compassionate.

The Hilton still is convenient, friendly, and has a "at home" feel that many of the mega-resorts fails to provide. We received a very nice upgrade and the room was very clean and new. Some of the reviews I've read are puzzling since we found the Hilton to be a perfect place to be. The Sports Book is still exceptional after all of these years and the buffet is well worth the price. We paid $49 and that in itself is a good reason to stay there.

I've been coming to the Las Vegas Hilton for many years. Partly because I'm Hilton HHonors member and partly because its caters to the middle roller. The hotel itself recently went through an extensive facelift about two years ago. Their rooms now have flat screen screen TV's and new bedding. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The air conditioning works very well for a 40 year old hotel.

Dining options are decent and pretty standard for a Vegas Hotel/Casion of this size. The Buffet is good but not outstanding. The one thing we did notice is that it appears that the Hilton has shut down their Mexican Restaurant and the Teru Sushi Bar in their Benihana Village. My wife and I were looking for the these restaurants on Friday night during the 4th of July Holiday and they were closed. Very dissapointing. So for late night casual dining your only options are the coffee shop and Pizza Hut outlet. There is a new lounge called Tempo and is pretty nice. It's has free live music/DJ's that has been missing from this place for a while. When it comes to shows, the entertainment options are among the best in Vegas for the variety of acts that perform here. This is one area that the Hilton has invested heavily in.

For resort ammenties, the Hilton has a large pool area on its third level and several tennis courts. The pool area could use more shade for those very hot summer days. The spa facility is very nice but the gym is too small for my taste. Standard free weights, machines and treadmills are the norm here.

The casino itself is not that large compared to others on the strip. But the sports book is huge and a great place to catch a game provided you get there early to grab seat. The Eigth Pole Bar in the sports book area is in dire need of a make over due to the smell coming from the drainage pipes behind the bar. Stick with the Tempo Lounge or Spacequest casino for your drinking pleasure.

All in all, the Las Vegas Hilton is a good value for the mid roller. Its not dumpy like the Riviera Hotel or super upsacle like most of the strip resorts. You could alway take the Monorail to the strip.

NOTE to Hilton HHonors members: This hotel is not owned by Hilton but by Resorts International. You do get some perks as a Gold or Diamond member (Free breakfast buffet, free spa access, free bottles of water) but do not expect a room upgrade. There is no executive floor and you will not get anything more than the standard room, unless your a high roller.
