Cricket4 -- You just encountered an ignorant rep. If your rate qualifies for HHonors points, it qualifies for the Double Dip. Make sure your USAirways number is entered in your folio. Even if not, e-mail or fax a copy of your folio to the HHonors customer service and you will get your miles credited.

That's true, Paris Las Vegas is no longer a Hilton, although staying there generates HHonors points and miles.
I'm afraid that the only HHonors award for that particular property is a part of Vacation Rewards - Paris Las Vegas Tour Eiffel: Two free nights for two, including two tickets to the Eiffel Tower Tour, a $25 food voucher valid at any Paris Las Vegas restaurant, and one buffet breakfast for two in Le Village Buffet. Reward Code: PARLV; HHonors points: 100,000.
Definitely not a good value, IMHO.

That's right. This hotel doesn't participate in the rewards except the vacation package. You will get points for the stay and might get upgraded depending on the front desk person. Better to check in at the airport and try your luck there.

Is this really what you want?
2 nights at the Paris Las Vegas
Admission for 2 to the Tower Tour
25.00 food voucher
1 buffet breakfast for 2
for 100,000 HHonors points?
Seems like a poor value to me when Las Vegas hotels can be had for 100.00 or better per night.

OK OK Ya'll talked me out of the insanity! I do have a lot of points that I was saving for a VIP trip to Egypt, but there is no way I want to go to THAT part of the world at this time. I guess I will look for 6 days at a super resort...somewhere! Thanks for caring, Cricket4

FYI, earlier this year, I tried to get that award during a low occupancy weekend. There were many phone calls with Hilton which ended with them saying they would have to call the hotel and see if those dates were available at the hotel (for different dates). After 2-3 months of this, the Hilton Diamond Desk called me back and said the hotel wasn't going to honor that award. I explained my displeasure and that I had already booked a paid stay (thru Amex Platinum) at the MGM Grand and to please note that I would never stay at the Paris Las Vegas hotel again.

Are you Elite with HHonors?
If so, why don't you consider using the VIP award chart, 100K gets you 6 nights at almost any HHonors property in the world. 150K gets those like the Waldorf.

Yes, Diamond with HHonors, Platinum with Starwood ...
Well, I only wanted to go for 2-3 nights and as people impiled the Paris Las Vegas stopped honoring that award earlier.
In any case I figured out the advice of this group independantly (just pay for LV since it is so cheap). Unfortunately as it turns out my trip was cancelled by the unwillingness of some of the people involved to travel after 9/11. Next time ...
