The Las Vegas Hilton is a classy hotel that caters to an upscale clientele. It's proximity to the convention center makes it popular with business people, while others are drawn by the Hilton's new attraction, Star Trek: The Experience. This makes a strange mixture of  trekkie and yuppie. (Suit, tie, Spock ears)

The Hilton's gaming floor is dominated by it's 30,500-square foot sports and race book, the largest in the world. It has a video wall that is second in size only to the one at NASA. (Some of it's 46 screens are as large as 15 feet across.) To accompany this video marvel is a state-of-the-art audio system and comfortable seating arrangements. There are continuous shouts, cheers and groans coming from scattered pockets of people watching games, but the noise level never gets out of control. Also impressive is the huge baccarat room. The elegant area hosted by a friendly and competent staff, has crystal chandeliers and velvet covered furniture.

One can have a great Vegas vacation and never leave the Hilton. The hotel has some of the finest restaurants in Las Vegas,  including Bistro Le Montrachet and the quaint Benihana Village. The Hilton's nightclub, creatively called The NightClub, is popular and gets very crowded on weekends when Louie Louie is playing. The Hilton also has an 18-hole golf course and the largest hotel convention and meeting facilities in the world, leaving little doubt as to why it's so popular with business people.

The rooms are decorated blandly, but they are very comfortable. Each room has a small dressing parlor and mostly marble bathrooms. Pretty armoires hold televisions with HBO, pay-per-view, and video check-out capabilities.
