After leaving my room to check out at the front desk, I did get to meet the couple who owns the property. They were great! If you meet them, chances are that you will like them as well.
@JacobslifeinVegas, I'm coming to Vegas this weekend and going to the Usher concert. I have a pair of tickets that I need to sell since it will only be my wife and I. My tix haven't been moving on Ticketmaster. Worst case, if I have to try and sell them when I'm there what's the best way/ best place to get a good, safe price?
Maybe they can partner with Mandalay bay for pool access
That was so interesting! Change is coming and for the better! How unique is this! Great presentation Jacob. From all the property reviews, you hit this one put of the park. If I were coming to Las Vegas which I am not at this point, I do not want to pay $300.00 for 2 people to eat dinner. I don't want cocktails for $20.00. Where has the value gone. Thanks for another enlightening post.
is this near the area, some Native Americans bought up, just recently ? an old hotel property, run down area next to it, quite a decent portion of land.. read about this recently, and looks to be almost in the same area..
or is this PART of that area ???
Ruby just made a vid. I posted she needs to show the real Vegas.
I went there by groupon accident to buy breakfast last december, and I was absolutely disgusted at the condition of the property. So to see 4 months later the transformation is a shock to the system. I am glad that a small independant owner has the chance to make such a change an impact. Definatly not for everyone, but I am very glad to see this change.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if it starts looking like a "dump" again in another 4 months.
There’s no “a” in definitely.
Especially when the homeless find out about the Zen garden, @@djm5687 .
With respect, $169 is crazy.
That was a sunday
I have to laugh - the enthusiasm you're giving to them putting a PLASTIC plant on a garbage can. Adorable!
Very nice to see people turn a dump into something promising and put their heart into it. Sure, it's not for everyone - but neither are the giant resorts that can be difficult to navigate for some. I could see my old fashioned grand parents or anyone with mobility issues loving this place because you can pull the car right up to the room and it's a clean and simple place to stay the night. Seems like a great deal if you wanted to rent out the property and throw a party or event on a budget!
Also easy for the bad guys in that rundown area to pull a car right up to your room. I will pass.
I love the idea of being able to park next to my room!
Thanks for this info, Jacob. It is certainly refreshing to see something like this in LV. However, I think the $169 price is a bit steep, considering that this is really a motel, not a "hotel". I can stay at Four Queens in downtown for about $60/night, also with no RF and free parking, and I can eat cheap in that area, which would still cost me well under $169 per day (plus tax). Also, the lack of security and a room safe are important concerns for me. I guess it's good for some people but not for others. It all depends on someone's taste, the type of accommodation they prefer, and at which location they want to be.
It’s about $90/night + room fees without breakfast.
@@ScoobyDooberno toast?
you sound cheap...
I hope they succeed. I love rooting for the local mom & pop places. Thanks for sharing.
Jacob I give you props for showing a family run small business!! I will definitely check it out when I come into town.
So heartwarming to see a small family owned and operated hotel new on the strip. The personality they've added is awesome, and you can really see how it is in stark contrast to all those huge corporate owned hotels that stimulate every of your senses to squeeze every penny out of your pocket. Honest small business, love to see more of that in the future!
I really love little boutique hotels like this but it makes me think of Palm Springs where these types of hotels really thrive. I hope they find success in Las Vegas.
Just got back from a 3 night, mid-week stay at Delano. Two room, 1 1/2 bath suite, comped, about $60 a night fees and taxes.
I don't understand how a little motel can survive when you can stay at The Four Queens $45/ night , no resort fee, many other places $50 plus fees mid-week without gambling.
I thought this was expensive too, check out other rates, I always get a comp at Cosmo, so I don't know how much it really costs, but this seems high to me too.
I have a feeling that the Nirvana Hotel will eventually either start charging "resort fees" or lower the price and/or quality in order to compete.
I might pay the difference if i can get a room that's not flooded with marijuana smoke and they don't try to rope you into a time share at the front desk.
We need more videos like this. I love what they’ve done with the place!
The work they did on this property is astonishing. Not convinced all the plants they have out will survive the Vegas summer, but very nice. Great video Jacob!!!
If you look closely, the 'plants' are plastic.
I love it when spaces and buildings like these are reinvigorated instead of torn down. It’s nice that it’s a family owned business I wish them all the best! Thank you Jacob!😬🥳
God bless these folks! I hope they make a great dent in the hotel world in Las Vegas. Such a nice concept…obviously a project close to the hearts of the owners. 💕
This is a nice review. For those looking to support small biz, have a car, and don't mind lack of pool/casino/gym, etc...it might be okay. Normally I'd say that's a crazy price for this place (I was there last week), but if you figure in breakfast for two (in Vegas, $30), happy hour snack ($20 for two), parking ($20/night), and average resort fee ($40), the room itself comes out to be around $59/night. The pros I see is the souvenir shop he showed in video actually has ATV tours and other fun stuff you can sign up for and be picked up right there. Also, if you are a smoker or have pets, this might be a good option...The cons are the area is kinda sketch, with some 'interesting folks', especially after dark (safety for me would be a concern).
As a comparison, we stayed a bit North at Hooter's Hotel/Casino (in a bit better location/security to get up to rooms) that included free pool/fitness center/bottled water. Our room was a two queen, vegas strip view for $75/night (including tax/resort fees), which to me was a better choice. But I don't believe they allow pets, and parking is an additional fee. So weigh your options, do your research, and have fun :)
They have security on the property
Don't expect they allow smoking based on the vibe...
I don’t believe you pay for parking at OYO..
Good video, Jacob. But, honestly, as I was watching I was checking and comparing some midweek rates for Vegas hotels online and Nirvana is a bit pricey in my humble opinion. Some of the larger hotels come in way less expensive, even with the "scam" resort fees added in. While it looks like the owners have done a nice job with the property, I think I would opt for one of the larger hotels, or even an AirBNB (which is what I'm doing in October for TwitchCon Vegas) for a better value. Also, sitting on cushions and eating on top of a shipping pallet doesn't really seem like a high-end amenity for guests. And SunnyD in the breakfast basket instead of legit orange juice? Hard pass on the SunnyD.
are you including the no resort fee though? not only that Nirvana does not have the economies of scale going for it so they need to make enough profits to pay employees and debt. this is a unique experience and for this level of personal touches you can spend far more.. i'm betting its up to $250 by fall time.
My first trip to Vegas was with my family nearly 60 years ago. And when I fly across the country, it's to stay at one of those megaresorts. But I think it's great that you've given some publicity to some business people who have creatively redeveloped a portion of the strip. The property looks great. Keep up the good work.
It's nice to know that something like this still exists in LV. I like how you said everything was very clean, walking distance to mega casinos and the cute food truck and gift shop next door. However, the price was a little high and not having a pool in LV is a deterrent. Thanks for the tour.
Nicely done, Jacob. Loved the eerie intro and your audio choices get better all the time. Kudos to the folks who poured their all into this place. $169/night is more than I’d pay but it does keep the riff-raff away.
Cmon now. I'm all for helping out the locals but lets call it what it is. This is a renovated motel. Even with free breakfast and happy hour, I feel it is slightly over priced.
That's great that people are stepping up to make vegas better
Awesome review like always! Definitely going to stay here next time I’m in town. Love the mom and pop feel. The breakfast in bed is a definite game changer and the zen garden is an amazing touch.
Great job as usual Jacob❣️👍👍❣️ Thank you for a very natural and honest you, my husband and I love watching all your videos for that reason. You do a great job on giving us all ideas on each restaurant and hotels you feature here it definitely helps a lot. Keep up the good work we always look forward for a new video 🥰❤️
That was really good J.O, you have a knack at this. I really enjoyed your commentary review.
How adorable! It’s what I imagined Johnny Rose from Schitt’s Creek intended when he ended up franchising the Rose Motel at the end of the series. I really hope they’re able to succeed in their refreshing venture on the Strip!
these are the type of hotel properties I'd like to support! Great Review on this hidden gem Jacob!
Love the video! Great review, I am glad you are helping out this couple to promote their hotel, specially because they have made such a positive impact on the area!
I love this video Jacob. So wonderful using your influence to promote a wonderful Small Business in Vegas. This video made me hungry. Looks like a great place to stay. Cheers!
A video that actually shows something I haven't seen before....well done!
Very nice it's great to see a local owner on the strip I wish them much success. And .thank you Jacob for posting this.
Reminds me of an ancient motel I stayed at in the Appalachian mountains a few. Cleanest most comfortable room ever. But when i turned on the ancient TV with every cable channel in the world offered, it was an old B&W TV. But for $18 a night who cared. Cleanest and most comfortable motel bed I ever slept in.
$18.00 can't beat that !
Thanks for sharing a Mom & Pop place. I sincerely hope they do great and prosper!! Peeps like that deserve the best!! The big boys wished their places were as clean as this place!!
Excellent video Jacob! Keep them coming👍🏼
One of the and one of your best reviews. Nice
Dude you are totally cutting edge. In the world of Journalism, you just scooped every other RUclipsr.
Outstanding!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a nice place and a great review. Subscribed just to let you know how much I appreciated this review on places to stay in Vegas. Thumbs up to you Jacob.
I loved seeing your happiness when they gave you a fresh breakfast it was so genuine it made me smile too!😊❤
High Five for profiling this small business hotel. The food truck info was great too.
There's a few commenters who would rather stay at one of the mega hotels for the same or less price but consider that it may not be for everyone. Personally I would rather stay at a smaller place. I don't enjoy parking my car in a mega garage and walking long distances to an elevator and then through a smoky casino to get to the Check In desk....and then WAIT in a long line for the check in process to begin. The ease of parking at this establishment is heaven! Yes it may cost more but a free happy hour snack and drink AND breakfast delivered to the room makes it worth it in my opinion. I was happy to see your recent video on The Tuscany, another hotel I would choose for the ease of parking. Thanks Jacob for including these types of hotels in your reviews, not everyone loves the mega hotels.
If you’re gonna park your car and stay at a place like this, why not just stay home? If you’re gonna stay here for the parking convenience and then venture out to the strip, kinda defeats your long walk beef.
You're welcome Polly! There's definitely a market for this type of traveler.
I love the personal touches. It seems they did a lot of the work themselves. They put a lot of love into that property. I come to Vegas all the time. I might consider to stay one night to try out the amenities. That breakfast basket is such a unique touch as well.
Thank you for the review, always nice to know about the little places
"the Bellagio conservatory is fine, but have you seen this zen garden with a food truck?" - no one ever
I enjoy all your Vegas Videos Jacob .. Thank you information which I never knew! 😊
You're welcome Sandy!
Thanks Jacob for sharing this little gem.
So awesome that you did a review that will end up helping this small business. I appreciate the fact you didn't accept that your food be comped to keep your review honest. The trust factor is big for me. Another channel I used to watch, AllYouCanVegas, started doing videos at expensive restaurants to which to they gave glowing reviews. Only if you took the time to look in the description was it mentioned that those meals were comped. At that point it's no longer a review but a paid commercial. Much respect to you for your integrity.
My man Dan, by the way, AllYouCanVegas is one of the most honest Vegas vlogs and one of my favorites. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@rottenrobbie8466 not saying they're dishonest...but I do prefer when food reviewers pay for their own food. Let's face it, there's a conflict of interest if you're reviewing an expensive meal that's paid for. Because it's free you feel obligated to give a good review not just for that establishment but also because you want other restaurants to also offer you free meals which will only happen if you're not critical..
I enjoyed this video more than any of your others I've seen. Wishing the owners continued success in transforming the area.
Great find Jacob. Also, I just noticed your 159K subs great job. I remember when you were just at 10k, I hope you are able to just make a living doing these videos. They are great and unique.
Thanks so much trexinvert! I appreciate you being so supportive for this many years!
This looks EXACTLY like my kind of place to stay, and with it being so close to Mandalay its perfect for me. I already have a really nice Airbnb for this years Vegas vacation but for 2024 I will 100% give this place a stay. :]
Wasn't a big fan of your's in the begining... but watching you and your videos evolve, to now seeing this... how you have gone above and beyond to highlight this lil gem on the strip... all I can say is "Bravo"... good for them and you...
Great video! I didn't know about this. Also, being across from Mandalay you have access to the free tram service that takes you to Excalibur, so I think that helps out it's location. Also, right next door is Sayulitas Mexican, one of my favorite local mexican joints that serves HUGE portions
Hello Jacob, love, love this video. My friend and I seen you Saturday a.m. June 3, walk in front of our car at the light next to Circus Circus. OMG!, that’s Jacob! Ohhh, look it’s Jacob and there he goes. Later that day we went to our reserved room and it was absolutely horrid. Unfinished building construction or renovation, rooms did not look like pictures, flooring smelled like bleach with a film on it, bathroom was gross and dark couldn’t use, door to room had a gap, not secure, then I spotted bed bugs on base board. So we literally ran out back to car after spraying each of our bags with a generous amount of Lysol…..shivers! We remembered this video and ran to Nirvana and it was an absolute Godsend. No exaggeration, it was absolutely spotless, super clean and smelled like heaven, WOW! Luxurious comfort and breakfast yum, a big hug and thank you to you Jacob and to the owners of Nirvana.
Great Vid! I hope that these owners do some great business! The place looks great, the garden area was really cool and just the little things they did were awesome to see!
So cool that they remodeled the old hotel! Looks very nice and hope your video helps put out there their place!
Jacob, Thank you for sharing this amazing new place in Las Vegas. I've only been to Vegas once, loved it. So I enjoy your videos. From Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 🎰🎲
Nice to see that management there has done such a great job revitalizing that place.. Good for them!
Wow! Great video and review! And great personal touches at the property….
Nicely done 🎉😅
Always good to give the Mom and Pop business a helping hand.
Ok! I'm impressed! Thank you for showing this! Gotta book this one this summer! Keep the airconitioner on, I will be staying soon!
The tub is sparkling clean!
Looks nice and as you said, great attention to details
I like your detailed reviews. I think you could make a dump look like a vacation destination! It’s your passion and excitement for each and every detail… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Joseph!
You find the most interesting spots. great video 👏
Great video on that sweet spot! GOOD VIBES 👍
This was so special, loved it.
Thanks for sharing this property. Going to have to check it out in the future.
Have watched several of your vids and just subscribed today.
Great hotel review! If I ever venture out to Vegas, I definitely want to stay at Nirvana.
Keep the vids coming!
Great reporting man. You’re a professional
Thank you Kyle!
Zen garden is gravel, table is a stack of pallets, benches are cinder blocks and landscaping logs.They put a tiny plant in the ash tray spot. This is a Home Depot renovation.
Yeah, cheap hahaha
How is that possible when their website showed Tropicana OJ but replace with a sugary juice sunny D ? Lol. For the price they are charging, they should at least put in a mini fridge and a coffee maker at the minimum
@rawasianchicago - do you tend to complain much in daily life, too?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 for $169/night, won't you have certain expectations ? After all it is not $30/night at Excalibur or Luxor (even adding resort fee, it is still $65/night only)
Exactly -it’s hardly a dump but WAY overpriced for a simply clean motel room with a bit of food thrown in for almost luxury hotel rates
That little motel was always my first stop when I hit Vegas. Loved sitting at the picnic table.
As Usual you are one of the Best or should I say Simply The Best blogger in Las Vegas. Great content
This place is so dope, thanks for showing us :)
Wow! Great find and review. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow Jacobo, good one, I have never imagined that this would be so nice and clean.
They should have stuck to a pool for that price plus people love small pools compared to those big pools on the strip
Thanks for this vlog. I’ll need to check out this property. Have an amazing week! Ciao. 2023.
Cool property Jacob. Thanks for reviewing this gem.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing something OTHER than the monster resorts on the strip!! xoxo
The breakfast in bed is not bad, I thought it'd be a fancier faire but you could have easily paid $30 for all those items at any of the coffee shops in the casinos. Thanks for the review, I'll keep in my radar👍
You're welcome!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.✌
Very cool, happy to see something like that takeover a derelict space in lieu of another huge casino going up. Hope they are very successful! TY Sir
Another great video bro.
.NO SMOKING ALLOWED!! YES! I love that they put their money down to improve that area!! Bravo support these folks! The breakfast was very nice and the improvement out doors is good for groups staying in the evening. Love the idea of holding a wedding their too. The food truck is awesome too! Of course they want to make their money back, silly people! Free parking, no resort fee, walking distance to the tram across the street it's all good! The lemon defuser is a great touch! And Clean clean ROOMS!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Vast improvement over what it was before! I hope it inspires others to do the same with similar plots of abandoned land.
p.s. Hope Cinedome 12 in Henderson is still there. I like that movie theater complex.
I'll definitely give this place a try soon -- thanks.
Very informational video. Looks like a nice hotel.
Thanks for sharing. I visit the Pinball Hall of Fame when in town. I remember walking by this area. Will def bookmark the location for future visits.
Thats so nice to see people making a go at business and cleaning up an eyesore. Especially the location. It's always a great idea to stand out from the big boys.
The attention to detail at this place amazes me beyond measures !
The juxtaposition of it being across from Mandalay and so small in comparison is kinda cute.
Although they're in the same industry, they are definitely at two different extremes!
Great video! It's seems like a nice place to stay even if some people might think that it's not really the "Vegas Experience". It will be a challenge to do the proper upkeep and keep it in the clean and pristine condition that it is in now. Also considering they are new I hope that over time they don't have to eliminate some of their unique amenities because they caused too many problems like theft and damage. What about security? Are there no safes in these rooms that have individual outside entrances? May it draw the right crowd and not a lot of problem guests. A place like this would be wonderful in a small town in front of a lake or ocean beach. Wishing they can make it in Vegas.
Totally agree. Out of all the places you could find a run-down motel to fix up, Vegas South strip doesn't seem like the best idea. No way am I paying that price for an exterior door and no pool. Maybe it will find a niche for events like weddings, but again, would be awesome with a pool. Best of luck to them.
GREAT VIDEO!!!
I hope they do well with this! While I'm not sure it's for me (especially given that I enjoy more of the glitz and glamour of Vegas) I could see this appealing to quite a few people. Pricing is high, but they do only have 25 rooms and it's the only "boutique motel" I'm aware of basically on the strip (at least south of the Strat area) so I'm not terribly surprised that they're pricing it high. The "room service" breakfast and a happy hour being included definitely helps (plenty of Vegas resorts would charge $50 after all the fees for that breakfast delivered to the room!) plus no resort fees and being able to park (for free) close to the room will appeal to plenty of travelers - hopefully enough that they can fill the property most nights!
Also interesting to hear that they'll rent the entire place out to a party - I could see that being a fun way to have a wedding or medium-sized event! Seems like the perfect atmosphere for that sort of event, and I don't know of too many other places in Vegas where you could do that.
Maybe that's the idea of the garden. They really should look into doing weddings
My favorite Vegas channel, so much great info on the Do's and more importantly Don'ts of Vegas. Love the content man.
Great Video and a real feel good story. Usually stay downtown from UkKbut would seriously consider this property
Very nice, and WITH A LOT of competition.
Whoa I remember that area 15 years ago, I didn't know it was refreshed and I stayed at Mandalay Bay 2 months ago. Guess I wasn't looking for it thinking it was still rundown. I'll have to check it out one! Thanks Jacob!
I love this! It seems like a cute little place! I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in town!
