It has many claims to fame, but one of the most enduring is as Elvis's venue, where he performed sold-out shows between 1969 and 1976. Is it a sign of aging baby boomers that the big-name headliner is now Barry Manilow? A statue of Elvis is located tastefully adjacent to the lobby entrance. When we stopped by, a few flowers and a card from the Elvis Fan Club had been placed at the base.

We had a perfectly fine room on the 15th floor in the East Tower. It's a healthy walk from there to the lobby, not surprising in a hotel with over 3000 rooms. This view is looking from the area of the East Tower elevators toward the lobby, restaurants, and casino. It's down there somewhere.

A bonus for Hilton Diamond and Gold members is daily VIP complimentary access to the full buffet breakfast. Between that and the $40 room charge we would have made money on the deal if it weren't for those darned slot machines.
The Las Vegas Hilton also has its own Monorail stop, giving us a handy and cost-effective option to get from one part of the Strip to another.

And now we can say we've stayed in the world's largest Hilton Hotel.
