The Hilton Elara Las Vegas Resort Stay is part of my Las Vegas Winter Experience.

Booking

I received a phone call from the time share sales area at Hilton during the summer who offered a $199 three-night stay which is refunded upon completion of a time share presentation. In addition, a $200 Hilton rebate form was offered as well.

I called to book the package and initially I was offered to stay at the Trump Resort. I declined that option and asked for Elara.

The agent initially said it was not available but after a few minutes they said they could confirm it for the dates.

The Elara is the newer Hilton Time Share Resort in Las Vegas.

On the morning after I checked in, I was required to attend a vacation ownership presentation for Hilton Grand Vacations Club.

Upon arrival at the presentation site, I was invited to relax in the lounge before the presentation began.

Vacation Ownership Presentation

The Hilton Grand Vacation Club Ownership Presentation consisted of a 45-minute group video where the highlights of ownership was displayed.

Once the video was complete, a sales rep had a discussion with you personally at a table.

The options were flexible and they started in the $60k range and went down to around $11k.

I did not elect to purchase.

The presentation in total including the travel time between the two locations was two hours and 30 minutes. This was about 30 minutes longer than the promised time.

Check Out

On the morning of my departure from the Hilton Elara Las Vegas I approached the front desk and noted four agents present and two other guests were being assisted.

An agent invited me to the desk and he offered assistance. After I requested to check out, he learned my room number and confirmed my name.

The agent thanked me for my stay at the hotel and he said that there were no charges and he said that I was all set.

The agent did not offer transportation assistance or luggage storage. The agent wished me a good day.

Departure

I departed the Hilton Elara via Lyft. The doorman greeted me as I departed the hotel and he wished me a good trip.

The Lyft and UBER area is clearly marked at the hotel.

My departure was not further acknowledged.

Overall

My stay at the Hilton Elara Las Vegas was good overall. I was impressed by the upgrade to the one bedroom suite at the hotel. The room was certainly too large for one person. It was awesome that it had a whirlpool tub; however, I never ended up using it during the stay. The staff I interacted with provided efficient service. The vacation ownership presentation was a bit long but I did not feel pressured.
