Somebody else explained that they automatically deduct the free night by dividing the total points needed (deducting the free night) across all of the nights of your stay.

So, a 4 night stay at a 50,000 point/night property would read:
50,000
50,000
50,000
50,000
200,000 Total

A five night stay would read:
40,000
40,000
40,000
40,000
40,000
200,000 Total
Yes you are right. I just tried it.

I booked tropicana las vegas for 4 nights @ 34k a night a couple of weeks ago, today a 4 night stay would cost 50k/night...
I will recalculate the points value and see if its worth staying with hilton..
