Hopefully they won't do what Tropicana did and start out giving diamonds great treatment and then throw us under the bus three months later for their casino high roller's.

If trop kept the same diamond benefits they did when they first became a DT, they would continue to get my stays in Vegas.

They have always had a resort fee but when they first became a DT it was waived for diamonds. They stopped that policy after a few months.

For the first year or so diamonds were given a full buffet in the beach café and gold's were given a decent (if you like carbs) continental breakfast of a yogurt parfait and a few pastries with the option to upgrade to buffet for a surcharge. Diamonds were also allowed to use the VIP line at breakfast. First they stopped allowing diamond's to use the casino VIP line at breakfast, then they eliminated the full breakfast buffet for diamond's and give the same options gold received and then they moved it down to the food court area.

When you factor in the resort fee, I am better off staying at the Elayra or another HGVC or a non-Hilton property in Vegas. Plenty of places for breakfast in Vegas or I can just get something healthy and use the kitchen if it's an HGVC property.

I would love it if this property gave diamonds the buffet for breakfast. The buffet looks awesome on their facebook page. Their coffee house looks amazing as well and I would be fine with the breakfast benefit being there as well.

I'm really hoping they have a lounge.
