More & Gendel- Fantastic Duo in the Tempo Lounge

by Mike O at Citysearch

My family and I have been visiting Las Vegas for years now and we have been to many show rooms and lounges in most of the casinos. In recent years our favorite thing to do far and away is sit in the Tempo Loung at the Hilton when More & Gendel are performing. Llynda More has a strong voice that can cover alot of ground, she sings the easy listening standards, pop, rock, country.....or even the hardest metal songs. Mark Gendel is excellent on guitar, guitar fans out there will be amazed. He will play funky rythms or blistering hard rock with the best of them. I am serious they are unbelievable.

We really enjoy watching More & Gendel interact with the audience. They are sure to get people involved in the act and they will mix up the songs to go with the mood of the room, keeping tempo in the Tempo !

My son turned 21 in Las Vegas and they gave him a very special treat. Playing a song for him and having him put on a party hat, it was sooo much fun. I have also seen them do similar things for other events.

I think More & Gendel are a great part of the Las Vegas experience and the Hilton should be thrilled to have them !

• Pros: They perform all styles of music

TEMPO LOUNGE REVIEW

by SinCtySocialite at Citysearch

I have been to Tempo before when there was this really unfortunate duo singing pop music. Tonight there was no such entertainment. Alas, we all still managed to have a good time...

Upset Weekend

by driverrat at Citysearch

Never staying at the Hilton before I relied upon the reservationist to fulfill my request...My son was getting married at the Hilton and it was also my birthday and a friends anniversary...I was informed that I could have a Lanai suite that had a patio adjacent to the pool area...I specifically requested a room by the pool area as I do not gamble but I enjoy the sun and water...Upon arrival the room was a Lanai but not near the pool...I was informed by management that the owner had taken all the pool side suites. When i insisted on a refund management refused stating I needed to give them 48 hrs notice...even though they had not fulfilled my request. We decided to stay only because the majority of the wedding party was at the Hilton...During the course of our stay we had personnel walk into our rooms without knocking at least 3 times a day...Friends of ours had some walk in there room at 01:30 and when asked who it was stated housekeeping and left..My daughter in law had her wedding ring and others items taken from her room. Every night I had to go back down stairs to get a new room key becasue my card would not work. I could go on but needless to say I will never stay at the Hilton again

• Pros: Nice Rooms
• Cons: Unannounced personnel in rooms

Convention quarter convenience and quirky entertainment have a home at the Hilton.

In Short
The Las Vegas Hilton is one of the casinos where men carrying briefcases and sporting polo shirts with company logos is a more common sight than families with strollers. The businessmen are there for the 200,000 square feet of meeting and convention space and the proximity to the Las Vegas Convention Center. After hours though, the action is in 40,000 square-foot casino, at the Tempo lounge or the Shimmer cabaret, where live shows take place nightly. Headlining the Hilton, with big suede shoes to fill (Elvis played here in the 70s), is Barry Manilow. His "Music & Passion" show is housed in the 1,600-seat Hilton Theater. The resort also has 15 restaurants, a spa and Star Trek Museum.

A little outdated

by muranodiva at Citysearch

So if you love Star Trek this is the place to go for the tourist thing. Other than the ride and the little museum of show memorabilia that's about it. I had a bad experience with rude cashiers there and not really much else to say about it. If you a cheap room here great, but they are a little off the strip and it would be an ambitious undertaking to walk from there to almost anywhere.

• Cons: a little ways off strip

Aged, Overpriced, Lame

by bigglasses at Citysearch

I came for the 2006 CES, along with thousands of others. That's hard on a hotel, but no excuse for charging $350 per night for a second-floor room facing a parking lot. Inside the room, I found the lighting consisted of wretched flourescents that were bright enough for surgery. There are thoughtful ways to design lighting. And then there is the Hilton's ready-for-surgery in your room approach. I had to turn the bathroom light OFF to take a shower, and use the reflected flourescent from the hallway. It lit up the whole bedroom, plus the bath. Ick! At the business center, I sent a package out on Sunday, paid for two-day shipping, and they didn't send it until Tuesday, so I got my stuff on Thursday. How lame is that? Very. Close to events, but I'd rather walk a mile than stay there again.

• Pros: Close to convention, Tempo Bar
• Cons: Horrifying lighting, Business dis-services, Value

Close yet so far

by keishawithak at Citysearch

Went last November for college friends "reunion" - great prices on nice rooms. Cons - further from strip than we thought so taking a cab is a must; this can make you feel somewhat isolated from "real vegas"; limited number of tables as well so you have to leave b/c it gets boring. Pros - great staff - gave us a room upgrade as result of reservation error with no fuss; chinese restaurant - great food and decently priced; dealers - friendly and fun!

• Pros: rooms & rates, staff
• Cons: , number of tables

Relaxing Atmosphere

by zurich at Citysearch

If you like your gambling a little more subdued and relaxing, this is your place. Off-strip location cuts down on foot traffic through the casinio and noise. Nice rooms, good food and great shows each time I've been there.

• Pros: Quieter, Great Sports Book, Star Trek
• Cons: , Parking
