I was concerned when I first booked this spot with my Hilton Grand vacation timeshare points ( i usually try and stay at the Flamingo Hilton Grand timeshare location on the center strip) as it seemed away from all the action, and possibly in a not so good neighborhood, but i was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was smaller then most, making it easy to navigate and if the urge hit me then the LVH hotel and casino was only a two minute walk and you could easily head over there to gamble or hop on the monorail to the strip ( get yourself a three day pass if using the monorail option). The pool area is not as small as it looks in the pictures, and is actually a nice size. I also enjoy that it was not overcrowded even though it was 100 degrees outside. At night I felt safe walking when returning at 1:00am with my wife as both the LVH and Hilton Grand parking lots are both very well lit and you do see other people and security walking or riding bikes around. The rooms were very clean and a good size. The deli was friendly and had some good sandwich and quick meal option. At the end of our trip we were going to print out our boarding passes but the computer was down in the business area so the front desk volunteered to look up our reservations and then printed our tickets for us...they also hooked us up with a limousine ride to the airport for the same price as a taxi. I would consider staying here again without hesitation if I didn't stay at a casino or my home base at the Flamingo location. Thank you Hilton Grand Vacations at the Convention Center for a good experience.
