I stayed here during 4th of July weekend (NOTE TO SELF...never go to Vegas during the summer! scorching 120 degrees days and 90+ degree nights). Since it was so friggin' hot during the daytime, we basically holed ourselves inside the air conditioned Hilton and went out at night. My friend was actually able to get the cheapest rate by calling the reservation line. It was cheaper than all the travel search engines we tried and the Hilton's own website. So remember to also call a hotel's reservation line for a possibly cheaper rate! Our rooms were spacious and clean. A definite step up from a Days Inn. We mostly ate at the Paradise Cafe since it's open 24/7. Despite being quite pricey (it's a hotel restaurant, so not a surprise), it was actually quite good. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and weren't overcooked. The Chinese chicken salad was displayed quite nicely! There's also a Pizza Hut with TCYB and other dining options which we didn't try out. The monorail stops at the Hilton so no need to drive to the super-crowded Strip.
Oh forgot to mention, it's a must-go for Trekkies. There's the Star Trek Experience and a Star Trek-theme restaurant and bar.
