A Look Back at the Racing Event of the Year

HGV Members got close to the action at the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX at the HGV Hospitality Suite, which provided sweeping views of the 1.2-mile straight. Members could also watch all the racing action from the hospitality suite in front of our resort, Elara, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club.

For those interested in attending the 2025 event, look out for more details in future Club Traveler newsletters and your Member website.

Golf Is in Full Swing

The wait is nearly over for golf fans as this year’s annual Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions is just around the corner. Taking place at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Florida, from January 29–February 2, the tournament is one of the major sporting events in the HGV Ultimate Access calendar. 

The event brings together entertainment, music and sports celebrities to compete alongside top LPGA Tour winners in one of golf’s most unique events. The tournament also offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences that extend beyond the golf course. A highlight of this year’s event will be an exclusive three-night private concert series including headline artists Luke Brian and Chicago at Boxi Park in Lake Nona.

HGV Max Launches for Bluegreen Vacation Club

Last November, HGV Max launched for Bluegreen Members, allowing you to upgrade your membership to have even more vacation options. You’ll maintain many of your existing Bluegreen Vacation Club benefits and gain exciting features that enhance your ownership, including access to more resorts across the world. 

The acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations means HGV has an expanded portfolio of properties across the United States. Access to these properties will start to become available to HGV Max Members by the end of 2025, so keep an eye out for more updates soon.

Check Your Inbox for the Latest Fee Updates

You should have received an important email from me earlier this month with updates about your membership for the year ahead. In case you missed it, here is a reminder for Embarc/Extraordinary Escapes, HGVClub and The Club Members and for Bluegreen Vacation Club Members. The message includes links to your 2025 rules and fees documents, as well as important reminders from HGV.

Leigh’s Booking Tips

The new year is the perfect time to choose your next vacation, and securing your stay well in advance ensures you don’t miss out on your preferred location. 

We want you to make the most of your membership, so as we enter 2025 there’s no better time to refresh yourself with your reservation windows. Take advantage of each timeframe to book as early as each booking window allows. Also, remember to check upcoming deadlines for saving your points to maximize usage and book online to save on fees. For more details, refer to your Club Rules or Member Directory guides on your Member website.

Finally, don’t forget to bookmark newsletter.clubtraveler.com and magazine.clubtraveler.com on your browser to stay well-informed ahead of your next vacation. 

Wherever your travels take you in 2025, I hope you have a brilliant trip.
