One of the first things my husband and I considered when purchasing at Elara, a Hilton Grand Vacations in Las Vegas was whether our home resort would be a couples-only destination or if we would bring the kids.
At the time, choosing a Studio unit was the best choice to get “our feet wet,” so to speak.
We enjoyed the intimate space, and the resort amenities fit our needs as we spent most of our time on the main strip.
After our first year, we were invited to spend the night in a 1-Bedroom Suite as a promotional offer. I had no idea all the extra amenities we got by upgrading by just one room size.
1. In-Room Whirlpool Jet Tubs
There’s nothing like soaking in a whirlpool tub after a long day of sightseeing — or in our case, after my husband’s softball tournament. The in-room tub at Elara was the perfect recovery zone.
Member Tip: Look for 1-Bedroom Suites or larger to access this amenity.
2. 8-Foot Projection Screen TV
Our Suite came with a massive projection screen that turned our living room into a private theater. We hosted teammates for Sunday night football, and it became the highlight of our trip.
Member Tip: Bring snacks and stream your favorite games or movies for a cozy night in.
3. Full Kitchen + Washer/Dryer
Having a fully equipped kitchen and laundry setup made our stay feel like home. I could prep meals and wash uniforms without leaving the Suite.
Member Tip: Use the washer/dryer to pack lighter and save room for souvenirs.
4. Spacious Living + Dining Areas
The extra space gave us the flexibility to host friends and unwind comfortably. It’s a game-changer if you’re traveling with family or planning group getaways.
Member Tip: Use the dining area for game nights, meals, or even remote work.
5. Upgrade Flexibility
After experiencing the 1-Bedroom Suite, we knew we wanted more space long-term. Upgrading was easy and tailored to our travel style.
Member Tip: Talk to a sales executive to explore upgrade options that match your vacation goals.
Why We Upgraded — And Never Looked Back
After staying in the 1-Bedroom Suite, we realized how much more we could enjoy with just a little more space.
That same day, we met with a Club Counselor and upgraded. The process was seamless, and now we travel with more comfort, flexibility and room to grow.
"Our Suite became the team hub for football, food and drinks!"
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a family reunion, the right resort amenities can turn a great trip into an unforgettable one.
