The Hilton Las Vegas is located right off the Strip. If you travel north on the strip, before you reach the Stratosphere, you will turn right and it can be easily seen due to its dimensions.
The Hilton is classy, friendly and has a touch of elegance all over it. It's a regular hotel, by regular I mean it is not a themed hotel.
The parking lot is pretty big and there is no problem finding a spot.
The entrance is similar to all the hotels in Vegas: the first thing you see is the casino.
One thing that I must say is :get a car. See, me and my wife thought, by looking at the maps we had, it would have been a very short trip on foot from the Hilton to the strip.
The first day we almost died. Streets are bigger than they seem on a map, especially when the temperature is over 100 degrees (fahrenheit).
Howevr, you can use the trolleys that stroll back and forth the strip and they also stop at the Hilton. But sometimes it might be tough to wait under the sun and they are pretty hot inside when crowdy (always). After 2 days we decided to rent a car.
Anyway the Hilton is off the strip but not too far from it. The casino inside is big and well kept. Well arranged too, with a pretty sparkling life at night. Although I planned to go to a different casino every night (7 nights), I spent a couple of nights at the Hilton casino and actually found it to be one of the best.
What we both really liked is that the rooms are spacious. Note that we went into a regualr standard room, nothing fancy. But it was wide, full of space, comfortable.
Inside the Hilton offers some restaurants that we did not try as we were almost always somewhere else. However I have to mention Margaritaville Cafe'. Nice happy hours with huge bowls of Margaritas and complimentary nachos.
Unique Qualities: The pool is not as huge as some of the hotel pools in the strip. But we live in Florida, so the pool was the last of our targets. Anyway, the pool service is very good; the only thing is that the pool can get pretty crowdy and sometimes there might not be enough room for you to swim in the water.
If it happens, don't get aggravated and do as I did: lay down on the deck chair, enjoy a cocktail and study your blackjack strategy...
Oh, inside the hotel there is the attraction: Star Trek: the experience. Funny experience.
