Las Vegas Hilton - The Real Deal :
Unfortunately, the slots at the Hilton are tight as shit. We haven't been able to pull nuthin out of them in all the times we've been there. The table games are ok, but the vibe of the casino is more like a hotel than a gambling joint.
The Las Vegas Hilton offers massage service to folks who just can't tear themselves away from that hot casino table. It's called Casino'ssage! Woop.
Las Vegas Hilton History
Originally Kirk Kerkorian's International Hotel & Casino in 1969, the Las Vegas Hilton was where Elvis Presley gave most of his famed 'big Elvis' era performances. He signed an exclusive contract with the International Hotel in 1969 (and lived on the 30th floor in what's now known as 'The Elvis Presley Suite'). Since it's halcyon days at one of the Strips main entertainment attractions, the Hilton has been bought and sold numerous times and for a short period of time was called the "Flamingo Hilton." Most recently, the Las Vegas Hilton was sold to investment firm Colony Capital by the former Caesars Entertainment in 2004.
Location of Las Vegas Hilton:
East of the strip, but easy to get to and find by car or monorail. It's right next to the Las Vegas Convention Center, but you can forget walking here from the Strip (save Riviera)
Cool Stuff About Las Vegas Hilton:
The Hilton is reaching for the brass ring as THE entertainment destination in Vegas that it once held proudly when Elvis was ruling the roost. Speaking of the King, be sure to check out one of Elvis' jumpsuits in the main lobby by the casino. Way cool.
The Las Vegas Hilton is currrently remodeling all of its public areas, the 5-year master development plan is scheduled to conclude in 2010, two years after the Hilton's owners contract to retain the "Hilton" name expires. Let's just hope they don't call it "Shatner's"
The Rooms at Las Vegas Hilton
Rooms are mid-priced, clean, well appointed and very comfortable size-wise. A nice place if you want to go to Vegas and not be in the middle of the hubub (strip) or middle of an orgy (Hard Rock, Palms, Rio) or in the middle of insanity (downtown). All rooms have been recently refurbished to include the latest technology (flat screen tv's, wireless internet etc) and sharp designs.
Restaurants at Las Vegas Hilton
Las Vegas Hilton features a number of dining options, all of which are reasonably priced and somewhat nondescript. We suggest Benihana's for great teppanyaki experience and The Buffet if you are staying during the week for the complimentary beer and wine!
The real jewel at the Hilton was Quarks Bar in the Star Trek Experience (which closed on September 1, 2009). If you are visiting the Las Vegas Hilton via a Time Machine to the days when Star Trek : The Experience was open, our suggestion to you would be to sure to order a 'Warp Core Breach' - a giant round fish-bowl sized bubbling urn that contains enough booze in it to kill a large Klingon. The food at Quark's is top notch enhanced interstellar cuisine, wittily named after Star Trek locales, characters and things. Don't forget to offer a bit of your Wrap of Khan to one of the Borgs for assimilation.
Las Vegas Hilton Tips
After 10 years of boldly getting people smashed on Warp Core Breach's, Star Trek : The Experience closed on September 1, 2008. No word yet on what's to come in that space.

I built this in '69 as the International - and it was the first megaresort in the world. High class dining, world class entertainment, and incredible rooms. The douchebag Hiltons f'd it up.

Loved the Hilton better when it was host to Star Trek: The Experience (and more importantly, Quark's Bar), but still enjoy their renovated rooms, comfy beds, big tub (great for soaking the feet after a couple days of walking), 9/6 Jacks-or-Better video poker, and excellent breakfast buffet. The only ding against it is the abyssmal drink service, even when playing $1 machines out in the main thoroughfare.

We always have a good time at the LV Hilton. Quiet and easy to get in and out of, the rooms are nice and pretty cheap. Oh and there's Quarks bar! Great food and unreal drinks.

Stayed because of Star Trek Next Generation. Loved the whole thing. Our room was a Hilton room. Service, drinks and the casino were very good. Ate at Quarks. Shame that they removed the Star Trek attraction.

They get rid of Star Trek and bring in Manilow. Still not a bad place.

Great lobby and casino, very tasteful. "Lunchtime With Ira" on in room TV 24/7. Tight slots. Fun, cheap table games. Nice remodeled rooms with big flat screens. Monorail shortest distance room to station on Strip. $250,000 Game Show great fun with lots of winners (Must be good, over half the audience was locals). Highly recommended, lo key, not super busy.
