<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">{bIlopqu'meH} is not a finite clause, it's part of a larger sentence, which already contains the imperative prefix {yI-}. It hasn't been stated anywhere, according to my knowledge, but I think verbs in {-meH}
cannot have imperative agreement prefixes on them. In other words: it's not "Come to Hilton so that: Celebrate the grand opening!", but "Come to Hilton so that you celebrate the grand opening!" - only one imperative is needed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
since the translation goes "come to celebrate *the* grand opening", I<br>
would expect {yIlopqu'meH} instead of {bIlopqu'meH}.<br>
