Using Points for Hotel Spa treatment
My wife and her sister are going for a Vegas weekend and want to go to the spa. They will be staying at the LV Hilton, but could go to any spa. Do you know if there are any programs where I can turn in points for spa treatments? I have plenty of Marriott, Priority Club, Hilton, AA, or UA points. I did see that I could turn in 40k HHonor points for $100 in chips which then could be used for the spa, but I think that is a really poor use of the points!

You can convert 20,000 UA or AA miles into 25,000 Starpoints. Many hotels have a menu of services, and the equivalent cost in points.
I know SPG has 2 properties in LAS.
Sorry, it's the other way around. Didn't mean to alarm you. It's 20k *points into 25k UA/AA miles.

You can use Marriott points for Spa certificates, but unfortunately none of the LV Marriotts participate.
You can also use Marriott points to purchase Marriott Cheques: for example, 180,000 Marriott points for $1000 in cheques. Like the Hilton example, not good value, but an option if you have a gazillion Marriott points!!!

You can buy SpaWish gift cert using miles points (like MyPoints). And see if you can find a LV spa that takes SpaWish cert.
