Does anyone know anything about the Elara, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club (#D400) in Las Vegas - there are no reviews on RCI and it appears to be a new property?
hilton inflexable system.
This makes no sense to me. HGVC is perhaps the most flexible timeshare system out there. You can rent any unit, any size, any season; as long as you have the points to do so. You can rent anywhere from 3 days (2 for open season) to as many as you have points for.

Not when you own HGVC thru Westgate. You are managed by HGVC but are a second class citizen when using this property. You have what you own and nothing more. You cannot use the HGVC flexibility.

Dave has it right. You're not an HGVC owner, you're a Westgate owner. Don't fault HGVC for the shortcomings of Westgate.
So I have an RCI exchange at the Hilton Elara Resort (D400) in a 2 bedroom next fall. Will we get a "Hilton unit" or "Westgate" Unit?
stayed there in april on a trade. it is one of the most beautiful rooms we ever had at any timeshare resort. 33rd floor overlooking the strip. great location. would stay there again in a heartbeat if i went back to vegas.
Hi,
We just returned this past Friday, and I agree this is the nicest time share unit we have stayed in since we bought our first time share week 10 years ago. We exchanged through Interval (exchanged a Starwood week) and we were not in a newer Hilton unit, we were in the older Westgate unit which was awesome.
I would LOVE to exchange back into this resort sometime in the future, but I don't think there is much availability. I have been looking on line in both RCI and Interval and have not seen any availability when searching for any dates over the next year. The unit was great, the location can't be beat and the amenities (fitness room, pool area ) are modern and really nice.

So may of those that got suckered into the nightmare of Wastegate Tower of Terror want so badly to be a part of Hilton now but don't understand Hilton just manages those original weeks for Wastegate now. They aren't part of and haven't been offered any chance to be made part of Hilton. The Hilton operation is separate from those original owners and seems it always will be. They do get to utilize the upgraded amenities and overall operation of the resort but not the newer units or any of the Hilton perks. Just another case of Wastegate raking owners over the coals as usual.
How hard is it for a Hilton Grand Vacation Club member to use their points to get a week 52 at the Elara for New Years?
