Which is cheaper on the Strip right now?

Westgate, by a clear margin. Our tracked Las Vegas inventory puts Westgate at a $49 floor and a $201 average, while Hilton Grand Vacations preview offers sit toward the premium end of the market, commonly near $249. Las Vegas as a whole averages $240 across 53 tracked deals, so HGV prices at or above the citywide mean while Westgate undercuts it. The headline "$49 vs $249" captures the real spread a shopper faces.

What the price actually buys

Westgate's Vegas anchor is Westgate Flamingo Bay and the Westgate tower off the Strip, functional and cheap. HGV's inventory skews to newer, higher-finish towers with Hilton-standard service, which is what the premium reflects. The table lays out the comparison on the numbers we track for Westgate and the premium band HGV occupies.

Is HGV's premium worth it in Vegas?

It depends on why you are going. If the preview stay is a cheap way to enjoy a Vegas weekend and you can decline the pitch, Westgate's $49-to-$201 range delivers the same city for far less. If you specifically want a Hilton-branded property, a newer tower, or you are weighing HGV ownership and want to experience it first, the roughly $249 buys a materially different product, not just a higher price tag.

Key fact: We track deeper Westgate inventory in Las Vegas than HGV, so Westgate's $49 floor is more consistently available. Premium-brand previews like HGV list less often and hold their price, which is why HGV rarely appears near Westgate's entry point.

Which should you book?

Book Westgate if you want the cheapest legitimate Strip-area preview and you are flexible on the tower. Book HGV if the Hilton brand, a specific newer resort, or an ownership test-drive is the point, and the premium is acceptable. Either way you attend a declinable presentation of about two hours. Follow how these prices move on our rate recap, then browse current Las Vegas deals to see today's live numbers.

The verdict: Westgate wins Vegas on price with a $49 floor against HGV's roughly $249 premium. Pay the HGV markup only when the Hilton brand or a specific higher-end tower is what you actually want.
