Hilton has dived into the Condo/Timeshare business with their Grand Vacations Club properties. There are at least 4 in Las Vegas: These two near the Sahara on the north strip, the one on Karen behind the Las Vegas Hilton Casino and Hotel, and one near the Flamingo Hilton. They are planning to build at least 2 more towers near these 2 on the strip. There are 2 connected towers here, Tower one with 27 floors, and Tower 2 with 30 or more floors. They share a common lobby and other features. \n\nHalf the people here are on a low cost weekend trip and have to listen to the 90 minute timeshare pitch. Other rooms are rented out to the public, and some are owned. Instead of paying $200 on weekdays and $400 on weekends for comparable hotel rooms at the main Casinos on the strip, I got $125 weekday and $152 weekend rates and no 90 minute sales pitch! Hilton Honors points, too!\n\nOf course, there is no casino here, and no fancy overblown restaurants or shows. There is a 24 hour deli, pools, full spa, sizeable excersize room and free guest laundry and free high speed internet. In the room you have a mini fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, cabinets and a small amount of place settings. For a working stiff like myself, it is nice not to have to walk 20 minutes through a Casino and Shopping Mall to get to my car everyday. The property is only 3 years old, so it is nicely appointed and maintained. Service is friendly, with everyone saying hello. It is a better choice than Residence Inn and, Hilton Garden Inn and other similar business type hotels that often cost more and offer less. \n\nNext time you are going to Vegas, keep this place in mind as an alternative to high priced Casino Hotels on the Strip. Save money, rent a car, and eat at less expensive, unpretentious and more authentic places in town. And go to a quiet room at the end of the day without hearing slot machines chatter all night.
