The Las Vegas Hilton is a classy hotel that caters to an upscale clientele. Its proximity to the convention center makes it popular with business people as well as numerous others in search of the Vegas experience.  Many folks are also drawn to the Hilton as a result of its new attraction, Star Trek: The Experience. Consequently, this production engages an audience that makes for a strange mixture of trekkie and yuppie (Suit, tie, Spock ears).

The Hilton's gaming floor is dominated by its 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 its 46 screens are as large as 15 feet across). Accompanying this video marvel are comfortable seating arrangements and a state-of-the-art audio system. Naturally, there are continuous shouts, cheers and groans coming from clusters of people watching the sports games, but the noise level rarely gets out of control. Also impressive is the huge baccarat room. The elegant area is adorned by crystal chandeliers and velvet-covered furniture and it is always managed by a friendly and competent staff. 

One can have a great Vegas vacation and never leave the Hilton, as the hotel has some of the finest restaurants in town, including Bistro Le Montrachet and the quaint Benihana Village. The Hilton's nightclub, ingeniously named The NightClub, is also popular and sees a large crowd on weekends. 

The Hilton offers the largest hotel convention and meeting facilities in the world, leaving little doubt as to why it is so favored among business people. 

The décor of the guest-quarters is aesthetically unobtrusive with ocular qualities that embrace both modesty and enchantment. Each guest room has a small dressing parlor and mostly marble bathrooms. And attractive armoires hold televisions with HBO, pay-per-view, and video-check-out capabilities. Whatever the rooms may lack in luxury, they certainly make up for in comfort.
