For live shows: Las Vegas

Las Vegas is billed as the Entertainment Capital of the World, and for good reason. The city plays host to numerous live shows, from comedies and circuses to cabarets. It is also home to several artist residencies, so you can catch renowned singers like Lady Gaga in Barry Manilow in the flesh. Be sure to check out the spectacular “O” by Cirque du Soleil (up to 12 performances every week), which features synchronized swimming, aerial silks and fire dancing — all taking place in, around or above an enormous pool of water. For something more festive, book tickets to “A Christmas Carol” (November 23–28), a feel-good reimagination of Charles Dickens’ classic tale. Make your base at Elara by Hilton Grand Vacations, which is conveniently located right on the Strip.

For fun with the kids: Orlando

Your little ones will relish a trip to the City Beautiful, which is home to some of the world’s best theme parks. Get up close and personal with beloved cartoon characters at Walt Disney World Resort, where you can enjoy special festive events like “Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.” Or delve into whole new worlds at Universal Orlando Resort: Take a stroll down Diagon Alley at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter , or journey to an island paradise at Volcano Bay water park. Book a stay at Parc Soleil by Hilton Grand Vacations, which recently underwent a comprehensive renovation.

For a beach getaway: Myrtle Beach

With 60 miles of gorgeous coastline, Myrtle Beach is one of the best places in the United States for a beach vacation — whatever the season. Once you’ve had your fill of sun, sea and sand, explore some of the city’s top attractions: Marvel at big crocs at Alligator Adventure animal park, enjoy a waterfront meal at popular dining destination Barefoot Landing, or hit the shops at Tanger Outlets. Then, retreat to your suite at Ocean 22 by Hilton Grand Vacations, which is located right on the beach.

For a city break: Washington, D.C.

With grand monuments, eye-opening museums, top-notch restaurants and more, the U.S. capital has all the ingredients for a perfect city break. Check out the National Museum of American History, which traces the nation’s development from colonial times to the present day. Then, refuel at Rooster & Owl — which dishes up New American cuisine using the best local and seasonal produce — before heading back to your suite at The District by Hilton Club. Read the 2021 Summer issue of Club Traveler for more D.C. travel inspiration.

For sunnier days: Oahu

Looking to escape the colder weather? Book a trip to Oahu in Hawaii, where the daily temperatures average around 75°F, even in December. Consider staying at Hokulani Waikiki by Hilton Grand Vacations, where the rooftop pool was recently ranked among the best plunge pools in Hawaii by trip101.com. Soak up the sun on one of the island’s many beaches, such as Lanikai Beach and Kailua Beach. Or give back to the local environment and community through the Malama Hawaii initiative, which enables travelers to participate in enriching experiences offered by local non-profit organizations. Available activities include reforestation projects and beach clean-ups. (Look out for the November 2021 issue of eClub Traveler for more information.)

To avoid Hawaii’s mandatory, 10-day self-quarantine for visitors from outside the Aloha State, you’ll need to upload a valid, negative COVID-19 test from a trusted partner to the Safe Travels website before arrival. Travelers who have been vaccinated in the United States may travel to Hawaii without any pre-travel testing or quarantine requirements. Proof of vaccination must be uploaded to the Safe Travels website prior to arrival; click here for detailed step-by-step instructions. Visit our dedicated Hawaii Travel webpage for more information. Other destinations may require customers to present proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter restaurants, tourist spots and on-site amenities, such as gyms. Local restrictions regarding capacity and crowd size may also be enforced. As the situation is constantly evolving, we recommend reading up on any applicable health mandates before traveling to understand how they may affect your vacation experience.
