Is the lounge just for check in and check out or will there also be beverages and snacks available?

Thanks for responding Nicole!
As for Valentines day, please report back about what you did/did not have to pay for and what access you were granted. I'm very interested to see!

All Hiltons and DLs Required to have EL- Trop Response?
I wonder how this will be treated at the Trop, if true?

Exactly my point. I would expect more from a true Executive Lounge than check in/out services, such as breakfast, all day refreshments, and with any luck some sort of HH beverage and warm snack services.

As I said from my first post this is not about the doubletree/trop. It is about Hilton's false statements about its Hhonors program and its lack of corporate control of its franchisees. To me it means they sold out for the extra space in Vegas and if they are violating their own rules in this manner where else do they allow franchisees to violate policies? Safety? Food quality? Employee background checks?

If you aren't going to give us all day lounge access, then give us a full breakfast or buffet. Outside of no resort fee (which should be waived anyway for the top tier at any hotel chain), as a diamond, there are no additional benefits being offered to us.

Hopefully Hilton will give us full access to it seeing it is in the T&C. As I stated before I would have no problems if they decided to charge us the resort fee if we had access to the lounge. Mrs. Reds and I could easilly drink and eat $20 a day there. And for diamonds who are travelling with kids or happen to be ages 18 to 20, give two buffets a day in lieu of lounge access since they won't be able to get in (IIRC you have to be 21 to enter).

I wish every large property would have a special lane for diamonds to check in at like Hyatt does at their larger properties for their diamonds isntead of just a line for any HH member.

Nicole,.
While I am disappointed that I won't have lounge access of waiving the resort fee for diamonds. It is great to see Hilton properties go above and beyond for their most loyal guests. I will look forward to bookings my next stay with you when I am in Vegas if the rates are comparable to other properties in the area
I thank Te trip for making the right choice on waiving the resort fee for diamonds and will tell you this is enough to make me give the triop a try next tie I am o Vegas
