Road Trip to Vegas Checklist:\n\nGas - check\nClothes - check\nSnacks - check\nHotel Reservations - check \n\nThought we were ALL ready and prepared until we realized there are THREE (soon to be four) of Hilton hotels in Las Vegas. (cue: banging head on steering wheel)\n\nI call 4-1-1 to connect me and of course the same operator answers ALL four hotel phones. I think I'm being smart by specifying, \"We are at the GRAND VACATION not the HOTEL...not the place that has Barry Manilow plastered everywhere.\"\n\nShe tells me we are at the Flamingo. Naively I believe her and we pull of turning around and head the other way on the strip. Unload our luggage and wait in line to check in. Finally when we get up there the guy pulls up my name and exclaims, \"Ohhhhhh, you are at our NEWER facility.\" (cue: death stare and flared nostrils) \"What do you mean?!\" He pulls out a map and draws the route BACK up the strip.\n\nI think you get the moral of this story. Make sure you know exactly *which* Hilton prior to travels. Otherwise, brace yourself for major frustration.\n\nOnce we got there the hotel was fine. Clean. Quiet and overlooking the half built hotel \"Fontaine Bleu\" that apparently went bankrupt half way during construction.
