    What’s your favorite hotel under $200 in Las Vegas?

    • @bethanyarnp8852
      @bethanyarnp8852 11 месяцев назад +2

      Planet Hollywood. That property is a tremendous bargain for all that comes with it. You have all the restaurants on the miracle mile, plus strip house. You’re steps away from everything and the casino is fun. The rooms are in very good condition. Now, about that pool. Let’s just say you have access to other ceasers property pools :)

      MGM Grand. It's the most one-resort-fits-all/checks the most boxes casino for me. On cheaper weeks, it's a tremendous value. The location isn't ideal (but better if you stick to MGM properties), but you do have the monorail there to offset that, and the location is actually great if you like to go off the strip, with less traffic than coming from center strip or downtown.

    My wife and I love the Park. We always stay there and get down to the casino early, like 6am Vegas time. We seem to win more at that time and the cocktail waitresses are willing and ready to supply endless mimosas with the little bottles of sparkling wine. It is totally awesome.

    Park MGM is my absolute favorite casino in Las Vegas! I like the layout, the smaller size, the selection of slot machines, the food outlets and the overall more mature clientele. The pools seem small but relaxing, and I like shaded pools during the Las Vegas hotter temperatures and the umbrellas they provide. The easy access to CVS, Walgreens and ABC Store is a huge selling point, and Target is there as well.
    I appreciate you showing us an ADA/Accessible room, especially the bathroom. I haven’t actually stayed at Park MGM yet because my comp offers never include accessible rooms, though I can easily book accessible rooms with my comps at NY-NY and Bellagio. My brother needs the shower bench, so it’s nice to know they have those rooms, though I will have to call in my reservation to get one.
    The Park area, even the whole area from NY-NY, Park MGM, Aria, Crystals, Cosmopolitan to Bellagio is now the best section of the Strip. It’s cleaner, has more visible security and the tram is great. As much fun as the Link Promenade can be, I just am not comfortable walking the area from Flamingo to Harrahs anymore.
    I’ve stayed at NY-NY three times since their renovations, and I do like the rooms! The only downside is they didn’t do much with the bathrooms, they are small with a tub-shower combo and one sink. Get a Soho Premier room, not the basic one: the Soho Premier is larger and has a refrigerator. I’ve only stayed there during fall and winter months, so there were less families with children staying then.
    Great, thorough job with your review!

    Hey Josh and Rachel, not sure if anyone else mentioned but the reason the clothes bar was half way down in the closet was because you were in an accessibility room.

  • @gmbtempe
    @gmbtempe 5 месяцев назад +1

    Agree on MGM. Some of my thoughts as a regular to that place. The pros are Eataly, location, pricing, non smoking, clean, easy accessible and will not kill your feet. I love how easy it is as a jumping off point to just about anything MGM. You can tram easy to Bellagio or Cosmo, you can walk right into NYNY which gets you to MGM, also love the Park. Its not a crazy big casino, and the pool is right near the elevators. My cons are that it can be a very quit place at times and many of the bars/nightlife is closed during weekdays, which is when I stay. The pool is fine but again its a lot more reserved and straightforward. I hope they improved the lighting like your video, thought it was very dark in June 23' when I was there last on the floors.

    @blairoconnell7410 11 месяцев назад

    Thank you for your content. I agree completely with your assessment. Park has been our primary stay location since it went non-smoking. It has been fantastic. The price point is also really good. We generally take the money we have saved by not booking Aria, Bellagio, etc. and gone to a nice dinner instead. The meal choice are thumbs up. We have not tried all of the places but over time we will. The location is great. We don't mind getting our steps in, so it works well for us. It is really nice to have the tram so close and to have the back of casino walkway if we want to get a few more steps in. Being close to "City Center" is awesome. All in all, one of our favorite MGM properties.

    Great review! I am loyal to MGM. I have never stayed at Park MGM. The rates I've been getting for 2024 for Park MGM are so good/in my budget that I'm considering it for at least one of my trips on a week MGM Grand is more expensive. I've heard the pool area is very nice. Good tip on the sunshine, thank you. The main reason I'm considering it is the location. It's a long walk to Bellagio from Luxor, or even MGM Grand. Stating at Park MGM would probably save me cab money. I think I'd like a green room as well, so thanks for that tip too.
    I saw Aerosmith in September 2022 at Dolby Live. That theater is amazing! The sound is incredible, and there's not a bad seat in the house. That's cool you've seen Bruno and Gaga.
    I really like the Park MGM casino floor. It feels the most like a casino back home. The slots are positioned in a way that it's easy to navigate the floor, and they're not all in circles, so you can play next to whoever you're on your trip with (NYNY, on the other hand, is the opposite). And I know this is anecdotal, but I've hit my biggest slot machine hit on each of my last 3 trips all at Park MGM (I play at all the MGM properties-can't wait for Cosmo!).
    I have never been to On The Record, but that's on the bucket list.
    I'm a simple eater. Eataly is not really for me, but between Aria and NYNY, and the food options across the street, there's plenty close by. And I prefer Coke over Pepsi, but again, Aria is close by. So whatever Park MGM doesn't have, I wouldn't have to go too far.
    Thank you as always for the helpful and useful videos. Keep them coming!

    I’m always torn between Park MGM and Delano. Delano has better rooms, beds and is much quieter. Park MGM has a great smoke free casino floor and the food options are amazing. Best Friend, Eataly and Bavette’s are some of the best restaurants in town.

    Went to a couple concerts, The Who and Bruno Mars. Love the no smoking aspect. Morning shade at the year round pool and hot tub is a plus for my pasty white skin. Location, easy access to everything is the best on the Strip imho. sante and bon appetit.

    I’m looking at coming to Vegas the first weekend of October with my daughter (21st bday) and Park MGM is only $52 cheaper than Aria ($178 cheaper than Bellagio) total cost for 3 nights which I find bizarre since those 2 properties are considered more high end. I was considering NYNY but I think the beginning of October is still pool season and the small pool area might be a deal breaker (also not fond of the really small bathrooms since I’m kind of claustrophobic). I was just in Vegas a couple weeks ago with my 2 young adult children and we stayed in the spa tower at Bellagio and absolutely loved the pool area there. Trying to save some money this trip since we sort of splurged on that one 😉. Trying to pick a place to stay seems more difficult this time around. Weirdly, Mandalay Bay/Delano and MGM Grand are also pretty expensive that weekend unfortunately.

    • @JoshRachael
