Hilton Grand Vacations Club on Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas

"If you think it's too good to be true...it probably is" was probably written about this deal. I was told I was eligible because I was married, but NOT told that my spouse HAD to be present for the brief presentation until someone called to reconfirm my reservation. Now I have plane tickets booked for my cousin and me, and they have to "pull the tapes" to prove that they told me about the spouse caveat. I will just book somewhere on the strip that I will likely enjoy more and consider the $120 a gambling loss. After all it is Vegas...

the hilton is a great hotel. it has NO casino. instead, it has a beautiful gym & a cozy & comfortable lounge. the lounge has many forms of entertainment (table tennis, pool, HUGE flat screen t.v, foosball...) the rooms are very clean, as well as the bathrooms. fun pool. service isnt even needed because we have everything we need. the location is far enough to avoid the business of the strip, yet close enough to join it. GREAT HOTEL.

I must preface by saying, I too am an owner of this particular location. And after recently upgrading our ownership, I believe it is worth it! I have younger kids (almost preteen) & the environment is just what we were looking for when visiting LV. No need to drag them through a smoky casino just to get to the room. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and has a kitchen to boot. They have a great game room, which the kids love and a really nice pool. When we went to our first presentation, I made it very clear what my budget was, if I were to purchase w/the HGVC. We can sympathize w/those who were there for 4 hrs, it seemed that long the 1st time too, but we only purchased what we could handle! So, it' really what you make of it. And what do I get out of it, choices and the ability to vacation at some really great places with my family and for our kids to experience these places. Because one day, this will be passed on to them for their families to enjoy too! Yes, it is a little out of the way, but we don't want to be part of the Las Vegas madness anyways...I suppose it's different when you come from CA since you already have a car & for us it's no big deal to get in the car and park at another resort to get to the LV Strip or go out to dinner in the LV area. Circus Circus is a 10 minute walk & that works with the kids and the mall is not much further. So this is my two cents worth in why I love staying here. But I do want to try another HGVC at the Flamingo Hilton since they have a really nice pool as well.

I agree with what several other people wrote. I was at home, minding my own business, and I received a call about this timeshare presentation because I am a Hilton Honor Member. I told them that I was not interested, but the person on the phone assured me that I would not be pressured. In fact, she said, "We would not want to lose your valuable business as a loyal customer." As other people mentioned, I was called numerous times, but I finally was confirmed with a reservation that fit into my schedule. Afterwards, I received several phone calls insinuating that I had not made a reservation, although I had a confirmation number. After reading these reviews, I would have worried about this. I previously stayed at Caesar's Palace for a conference, and I can't say enough about how wonderful it was. However, it is a bit pricey, and I wanted my husband to experience the Cirque de Soleil Love Show, so I felt this was a great deal. We also made reservations to see Elton John's Red Piano show, which was phenomenal. As other people have mentioned, we called to ask if there was an airport shuttle, and there was not. We had to take a cab to the hotel. When we checked in, we were sent to a handicapped room, which did not have the jacuzzi tub promised. Although the room was clean, the decor was not up to the standards of other Las Vegas Hotels, and we had absolutely no view on the third floor. The hotel is extremely far away from everything else in Las Vegas. Taking taxis is expensive, and so we took the metro on one occasion and the bus on another. The bus was extremely crowded; most people were standing. To add insult to injury, there is no gambling at this hotel and hardly any food. The pool bar doesn't open until 10:00 a.m., so the breakfast choices are minimal. The pool water was freezing cold, and I felt it was one of the ugliest pools I had ever seen--no foliage, no view, and it faced concrete buildings. There was not even a place to set a drink next to the chairs. The pool personnel were nice enough, but they were one of the few contacts I had with personnel of the hotel. In fact, I was barely greeted by anyone during my entire stay, until we attended the timeshare presentation. The timeshare presentation wasn't too bad, but I certainly was not interested in this vacation club, and I would never pay $39,000 for it, even if it is on a points system. If other Hilton's are as out-of-the way as this one was, it is certainly not to my liking. I've stayed at Hilton's Waikaloa Village, which is far away from the main activities on the Big Island, but it featured an incredible pool and so many activities that one would barely need to leave the resort. Not so with this Hilton Grand Vacation Club. My advice is to save your money until you can afford a better Las Vegas experience such as Caesar's Palace.

Beautiful rooms and wonderful pool! We will definitely be back, all the way from Philly. Loved the free internet in the rooms, didn't love the cost to print boarding passes in the business center. Would have been nice to have housekeeping stop in and tidy up over the course of our 5 night stay, but since it was a grand vacations stay in a villa suite we understood that we could easily do laundry ourselves. Otherwise, loved the property.

I have been going to Vegas (way to much) for over 15 years now and I have stayed just about anywhere on the strip. With that said you have the south end and the north end. The LV Hilton is on the north end, very north end. For gaming action (this property does not have a casino) your closest bet is Circus Circus 10 minutes away (yuck, needs to be re-done or blown up) Sahara which is also 10 minutes away has been sold and will be redone from what I hear (that will help for sure). There is a tram stop there so that is your best bet for getting around (cab$ and the bus system is very slow). The LV Hilton has NO shuttles and a block in Vegas is a mile or more so if you walk be prepared! The Stratoshpere is also reachable in about 20-25 minutes. The LV Hilton while now is in the middle of nowhere (by Vegas standards) that will be a different story in another 5 years based on the dust and construction equipment to surrounds the property. It is a timeshare complex and will be right in the middle of the action as Vegas continues to expand North as it has been doing for sometime (can you say Wynn Hotel!) It is nice to return "home" and not deal with the gaming floor. The room I stayed in was just a suite (1 and 2 BD room suites are available too for families) with my wife and it worked perfect for just the 2 of us. Fridge, spacious bathroom, king bed and free wireless internet for my laptop. A small store has just about anything you will need to snack on at night and during the peak summer months a resturant is out by the pool (nice pools by the way!). Overall they are very few places to eat nearby so be prepared to travel if want a meal. I am a new HGVC club member and while this property is a bit out of the way within a few more years it will be surrounded by everything you would need. With it being a newer hotel with towers 3 and 4 on the way it should be a great place to stay. Just remember this is a hotel not a casino/hotel so if gambling till 3am is your thing this hotel may not work for you.

No casino. I liked that fact. Some people like to stay in a hotel with an in-house casino. It is out of the way. Maybe a 15 minute walk south of the Stratosphere, 5 minute walk North of Circus Circus. Lots of construction going on in the area. Towers at the South Side of the hotel block the sun at the pool for exactly one hour. Nice little pool side bar / restaurant to relax. Fully stocked convenience store. Good friendly service. Not as crowded and hectic as the hotels down the strip. Rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet. I have been there twice and will definitely stay again.

I went in august for my 30th birthday and we had a great time, it was a very nice hotel, and very clean. Only problem is that if you are going for the night life, its pretty far away from the other big hotels, But once the construction is done on all the other new hotels, it will be perfect!

Fancy, absolutely beautiful structure! I did not like the fact that there were no free services. I used the internet twice for approx. 10-12 minutes each time - $22.00 (@ - 70 cents per minute). There was no coffee bar - like most hotels have complimentary coffee all day. There were no restaurants in the immediate area. There were no luncheons or pool parties..(like some we have visited). We had to walk everywhere - even the monorail station was an inconvenient, hot walk through the Sahara (the desert, not the hotel). Ever heard of "heat stroke"? We had to buy saline for nosebleeds due to all the walking, heat and dust. There was no complimentary shuttle service anywhere. Construction and dust all over the place! The food in the marketplace was great if you were there for a week and wanted to cook your meals, but for my first visit to Las Vegas, I wanted a dine-in experience. The spa was okay. However, when I selected a small service, I was promised amenities that were forgotten and when I spoke of these - I'm sorry, we got sidetracked and forgot. Never did get those amenities either. Okay, we did get a deal with the vacation club people. However, it wasn't much of a deal when we said, "no, not right now." We had three "bribers" come to us with deals - in which we declined. We were there for a 90 minute presentation, which turned out to be 4 hours of "no, not right now." My husband and I have visited 5+ timeshare vacations in the past 10 years. As we are becoming older, we are seriously considering a purchase. However, it will not be with Hilton. Too much, buy, buy or bye-bye. I must add that the hotel staff - front desk, concierge and housekeeping were absolutely the best! I would stay at another Hilton, but I will not purchase a timeshare. Not enough bang for the bucks! We checked out after our two day stay and checked into another beautiful hotel (non-promotional)...we had fresh complimentary coffee around the clock, free use of the business center - internet. Free breakfast! We had an early flight the next day, so we could not sit down for our free breakfast, but they made sure we had a packed "breakfast to go"...which was absolutely the greatest! Next time, that's where we will stay. And complimentary shuttle service 24 hours per day!

I loved the Hilton Grand hotel, it was a great place to stay in, and i would love to stay there again. It was clean, and i felt rich when i stayed there. From Tyson Australia, Melbourne
