She didn't understand me at first when I inquired about the discount, but when I pulled out the card she got it.
The diamond card can be useful in Vegas. At the old lV Hilton you had to show the card to get access to the priority buffet line.
At the Doubletree Tropicana in Vegas if you have your Hilton Diamond card you can use the VIP Casino fast track line for breakfast
