| - I have only stayed at three off-strip hotels in Las Vegas, Hooters, Hard Rock and the Las Vegas Hilton and out of those three, it is number two on my list. One of the best things about the hotel is the offers. For a couple of years now, I have been offered a deluxe room with six free buffets, two free drinks at a bar, discounts off meals and the spa and there are virtually no blackout dates for these offers. It is pretty hard to complain about spending $130 after tax on room and food if you choose to utilize all the free buffet coupons.
The rooms themselves are not bad, but make sure you upgrade to at least a deluxe room. The last time I went I forgot to upgrade and went into the standard room and demanded to be upgraded. The standard room has the beds that seem very small, the bathroom that is really small and what is weird is that the room has HDTV's but none of the channels come in HD. What drove me nuts is that they wanted to charge me for using their safe, which was so small that it could not fin my 13-inch Macbook Pro.
The deluxe room is much larger, seems much cleaner, the bathroom seemed to be redone recently and I do not believe I was charged for using a larger safe but I am not 100% sure about that.
The casino itself is not very large if you play table games, a little bit larger for slot players. I have done well playing blackjack there very early in the morning, like between 2AM-6 AM but every time I play there during the day, I get killed. The dealers there are also very old school, some will joke with you and join you in conversation while others will just ignore the fact that you are there.
The buffet is not bad, seems better for breakfast. They have an omelet maker on duty that will make a very good omelet and the French toast is also very good. For dinner, you have your standard options, meat, seafood, salad and Mexican. I do not remember seeing sushi, not sure I would have eaten it if I did.
The best thing about the LV Hilton is the pool and cabanas. The pool basically has its own floor and it is large and the cabanas they offer are very affordable. They come with tons of drinks, TV's, chairs and some even have a little grass patch to hang out. The spa is also very nice, with great saunas, a small but nicely stocked gym as well as a variety of different hot tub temps.
One thing about the Hilton is that the valet parking can take a very long time, especially if there is a show at the theater. Even as a guest, it can take 30 minutes to park your car and if you want your car back during a show, forget it.
Overall, the place is not bad, with the deals I receive from the resort, I cannot always turn it down but it is never going to be my first choice.
