At 23.5-hours from request, the APPROVED my BRG claim! They did indeed reference www.lasvegas.com as where they found the rate, and NOT SLSLasvegas.com as I had indicated in my request... sounds like it's pure luck that the rate was listed in both locations.
SoFlaGuy, any luck on your request?

Will I get the $50 gift card after I complete the stay and they will match the rate or doesn't the $50 gift card require the stay?

I just submitted a request. I did a reservation for the weekend of November 14. $189 first nite and $179 second on Hilton.com lasvegas.com didn't have SLS rates available but www.slslasvegas.com had is for $134.25 Friday and $141.75 second night. I made sure to put in the comment it was at www.slslasvegas.com and not lasvegas.com

I was very clear about "SLSLasVegas.com" in the comments section AND the website field, but they still referenced "LasVegas.com" in their response. I was lucky that the rate WAS available on lasvegas.com in my instance. You may get denied initially and have to fight them on it, so I'd be prepared (start taking screen grabs of the rates on SLSLasVegas.com in case they're no longer available when you start going around with HHonors).
Not sure why SLS isn't available that weekend on lasvegas.com I bet we'll see rates go up on SLS's site instead of seeing them come down on Hilton.com
I assume this is some kind of IT error.

Still no response
Still no response to my email with screen caps and reinforcement of the correct web site. Not much confidence in the Best Rate team.

I received a confirmation today via Email with the original reservation number showing the rate at $138 a night (First night was $134.25 and second night was $141.75 so it is the average of the two nights).
I definitely want the $50 Am Ex card and there was no indication of that in the email (I figure that will pay for the resort fee).

Did they send you anything stating when you will receive the gift card?

Just a random search 12/15 - SLS LAS website = $82.00. Hotels.com = $82.00. Hilton.com = $87.00. So is Hilton going to cough up a $50.00 gift card on this?
On a side note, I spoke with two couples that stayed at the SLS Las Vegas, and they enjoyed their visit this past week.

Booking 20 room-group at SLS Las Vegas - Earning Question
Hi All,
So I have an HHonors earning question.
I'm HHonors Gold (thanks AMEX) and I have both the AMEX Surpass and Citi Visa Signature (not Reserve).
I understand I can get 6 points per dollar from the Citi and 12 points per dollar on the AMEX.
I am in the process of booking a 20-room group at the SLS Vegas (A Curio property), to the tune of right around $7,000. I am most likely not going to be actually *staying* at the property.
For *charging* the $7000 in rooms to *either* card, am I able to earn the 25% Bonus for HH Gold? Or would I only earn the base multiplier offered by each card?
Thx!

Credit card earning is separate from stay earnings. If you are not staying you will not get any points except the credit card points.
You should contact the hotel directly and tell then you are organizing a group stay and want to speak to the group organizer. They can give Honor points and extra perks for groups but you must do it in advance and get it in writing!
