You always say catch an Uber. Is there a problem with the bus? I have visited Vegas twice in the past 4 years and always rode the bus. How come you prefer Uber over the bus? I know the bus would be cheaper.
You can park free at resorts world by just getting a players card. As soon as you sign up for a player card you can park free, no minimum tier level required!
I’m so disappointed in what’s happened to Las Vegas. I was late teens early twenties when I first started going in late 90s- all the rooms cheap, food deals were insane, was not sooooooo damn crowded, NO place charged for parking, etc etc.. now it’s just a joke ripoff on every single aspect- I wish millions would boycott LV for many months forcing them to bring back down to earth and value the customers.
Not hating but just a heads up to anyone watching this , I’m from Vegas 37 of 43 years ( I always come home 😁) and I’ve not ever seen Four Card Monty or any of that type Hustle in Vegas ever in My entire life The casinos will get that BS out of there from around their properties in an instant Also , I have not ever had anyone try to pull the scam of trying to hand me something “ for free “ That’s a scam hustle Neither way you look at it I haven’t ever had that happen But I have in NYC but I wasn’t falling for that BS Just be aware and you’re all good Even the dudes trying to get people into clubs They’re usually gonna tell you the truth unless they’re dumb af So it’s always possible But most of all they get paid for You to go in so they just want you to go in and kick it Some of them will still cost You $20 for entrance but just ask If they say they’re getting you in free then they are. Bet that They’re just trying to get the clubs packed and of course the club assumes that means they’ll sale drinks for $15 + ea. but a lot times you do not even have to buy a drink, I know at Mandalay Bay You didn’t have to But I’m not 100 really anywhere else on that 1. For Dudes, the strip clubs They’ll get your group in free and the ride Real Talk They expect you’re going to start spending once you get there but you usually don’t have to Just ask before you have them come pick you up or not Once you get in there with the females you’ll start drinking & tipping though It’s inevitable 😁
The casinos are the biggest scams out there Not anyone out on the strip Just like the 1st comment The hustles are the Disneys’s & all that BS They’re making insane $ & people still pay that BS People need to stop going and make them come down But … I get it If you have the $ it’s better paying more because then there’s less & less of the undesirables there So…. If you can afford it then it is worth paying it
That is exactly why I won’t go there b/c it’s too expensive & too crowded. I refuse to go anywhere with resort fees. That’s a scam, especially since not everyone uses them.
My parents went to Las Vegas for years in the 70’s-90’s and stayed at the Westward Ho next to Circus Circus. Westward Ho was a Motel with only two stories. We would get 99 cent shrimp cocktail. A whole cup of those tiny shrimp with sauce. I was a Flight Attendant in the late 80’s and would go to Slots A Fun right in that same area for their $2 Black Jack tables and the dealer and people at the table would help people learn to play. Give the waitress $2.00 as a tip and she would bring any drink you wanted for free. I would walk back to my hotel off the strip with many blocks of walking late at night, past a vacant lot, across a bridge to the hotel we were put up in. Was a little scary walking in the dark, but not a lot of Taxis back then. There was a steak restaurant right across the street with an amazing $8.00 prime rib dinner and a tiny gaming area. A place where locals went. The good old days.
I have lived in Vegas since I was 13 and I'm now 55, So many changes have happened, I really miss the old Vegas in the 80s. Now I dread going to the strip and downtown because of the scammers and the crazy prices of things.
My daughter worked there and watched a guy hit 5000 on a slot 🎰 he gave her a 300 tip because she is pretty and she helped him around in his chair 💺 it can happen
I went to Las Vegas with a really good friend in 2012, and stayed at the Excalibur, we had a really nice stay aside from the timeshare creeps that got us right away. After we left the timeshare mess tour, we had a really good time. I’m planning on going back this next year to downtown Vegas.
So sad to see the RIO in such bad shape. I was there in its heyday for a friend's birthday...MAN, WHAT A BLAST IT WAS! We rode in the rooftop Mardi-Graw parade. You could pay a fee,(can't remember how much $, I think it was about $20 or so)we would get into costumes and get into the sky buckets that went on the roof tracks and to join the "Rio Carnivale".There was a cast dressed in full-on Mardi-Graw New Orleans-type costumes and it was a party like no other! You would ride all around the casino in the sky buckets and throw down beads, trinkets, and tokens for free play to the people down on the floor under you. The whole casino had a party at the time and free drinks, streamers, and beads flying everywhere! It was THE place to be in the 90s for sure! The steak house was fabulous and the parties they threw on the roof were legendary! Fireworks off the top roof and great bands would play. The rooms were spotless and reasonable. In those days, all you had to do was show your airline ticket proving you traveled there and they would comp you all kinds of discounts and some free gambling. The old Vegas was much more fun and much classier to come to. The Tiger exhibit at the Mirage and the Volcano was Great! Then there were the sharks in the tunnel you could walk through. It was so much fun before the days of Vegas becoming a daycare for kiddies! There should be NO PLACE in Vegas for babies & kids ---EVER! Vegas was and should have been kept an adult playground. Then the demise of what it has become is all about getting and charging hidden and outrageous fees with the decline in quality and upswing of crime. So very sad that your generation never knew it as it was then.
From one local to another, great content. I'm on the Strip constantly not only for shopping, but also because I love feeling like a tourist in my own city. Yes, locals DO go to the Strip. Cute couple, too.
I’m a Vegas native and haven’t ever seen a lot of this stuff No full card Monty That casinos are not letting MuFu’s do any kind of card stuff anywhere near their premises I haven’t ever had anyone try to hand me something then charge me for it I forget the couple other things that had me a like where the heck do people encounter this The only real issues are the Ese’s slapping the cards And so many club hustlers Most of them are legit It’s just that there can be too many of them out there a lot of the time
You two sure do a good job. I’ve seen lots of videos on different towns/destinations and most are almost strictly based on personal feelings. You both give an objective point of view, thank you.
We stayed at South Point Casino off the strip the last time we went to Vegas. It was awesome! It changed the way we felt about where we had to stay when in Vegas.
yall are hilarious lol and you guys showed so much, very informative, I truly appreciate all the different aspects shown of Vegas, keep up the good work
The Rio used to be the place to go. It was lively and close enough to the strip. The buffet was our favorite in the city. It is unbelievable how however is responsible for the decline has let it go. Getting rid of the shuttle bus to the strip was a huge mistake. I wish the owners would remodel, bring back the shuttle buses and buffet and the show in the sky. The Rio was a great place for visitors and locals.
I really enjoy you guys videos! I’m laughing my booties off! Coming to Vegas in a couple of months to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday; taking her to see Usher🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤💙
We wound up there after hearing about it and was very impressive and i myself cleaned out the seafood buffet. Last time we were there the reviews were awful.
The resorts fees and hidden fees are a « legitimate » way to screw you. I was in Vegas often and after the pandemic they really upgraded them, especially this June 2023.
Ha. We stayed here on our 1st ever trip to Las Vegas nearly 20 years ago. It was fine then and we fell in love with Vegas. We’ve been back many, many times to vegas. It’s so strange that we now stay in skylofts at MGM, penthouses at Bellagio and suites at crockfords and encore. We all have to start somewhere I guess. It was fun going down memory lane. Thanks for the video.
Been to Vegas many many times but we no longer go. There are so many casinos now across the country to gamble at and they still have great food and dont stink like pot.
The other thing to remember is that if you win $1,200 or over you pay 30% tax. We came from Australia and were unaware of this. I mean even Russia and China tourists Do Not pay this tax! We were told there is No Treaty for Aussies! It really sucks, I mean if you win $1,200 you pay $400 in tax even though youre a Tourist And Cannot claim any of it back! Love you guys 🤗
First time viewing your videos, and I just want to say I love it!! Your tips are fantastic and money saving ideas. Thank you both so much I will be looking for more videos from both of you regularly 😊
As a Vegas local, you are spot on! I go to Fremont, almost every weekend, and have a few tips to share about that. I would love to meet you guys, sit down and have a coffee together and discuss them. I don't want to put them on your channel without your permission. You two have some great videos, and if you are ever interested in talking to another local, or interview, I would be honored!
So so sorry!!! I been watching you guys for over 2 years and didn't know you pass 100k subs. Congrats did I miss a video of you guys showing your plaque??.. again congrats and thanks for all you do!!!
The monk is pretending not to speak English. So good to show the scams. We visited a friend's time share and wife signed us up for all these presentations. Some of the folks were SO PUSHY and rude. And she's correct about the time spent. We had to lie and said we didn't feel good to finally get her to leave. One of the places even rang our credit and we confonted them and walked off. It's bad in Florida too. High pressure and lies. Great information!🎉
I lived there in the 90's, my son was born there. It was so cheap then. And a lot of places were family friendly. Food was super cheap! I had a wonderful time when I lived there during that time. When I went back to visit in 2010 and 2014 I was sooo disappointed.
My mom lives there I’ve done everything possible there is to do in Vegas from weddings, gun ranges, driving tanks, zip lining , coasters, shows everything I go there and I’m bored nowadays lol shit isn’t even worth it I just go there and stay at her house I’ve or catch a fight boxing or ufc depending on who’s fighting but it totally isn’t worth it anymore this is a great video for tourist tho
When we visited Vegas in 2008, we stumbled across this wonderful steak house in an old strip mall next to "the world's largest souvenir shop" called The Golden Steer. It was VERY old school as and was hands down the most expensive ($100+ per person I think) but most incredible tasting steak I've ever had in my life! I would love to see you guys review it and other old school places like it!
Worst SCAM fee from a restaurant is the Tex Mex Tequila Bar. They add an 18% service fee! It is not the tip we asked. It is not anywhere on the menu either or on signage either.
Thanks for the helpful information. The last time my family was there was before covid. We were down feom Canada and my son was playing baseball nearby. The uber drivers looked after me and my young daughter. They were great about recommending attractions, what areas to avoid and were very reasonable. My husband and I are heading back soon and hope to do a lot of walking and sightseeing.
I usually stay Tuesday and leave Saturday Mid to Late evening, this way I get at least one day of the weekend experience and a full day on Saturday to drink and people watch
I really loved this video. I recently retired and am looking to relocate to Las Vegas from Tampa. Life’s too short to spend any more time in Florida! I’m especially looking forward to the total desert climate. One day of rain a year is one too many!
Las Vegas was much much better when the Mob ran it back in the 70’s!!! All you can eat 24hr buffets for $7.00, drop dead gorgeous cocktail waitresses bringing you free drinks while you gambled, 25cent slot machines, you could put a quarter in a slot machine and win $800 dollars or more. I wouldn’t spend a nickel in that Boring Lily White town today. I tried living there in 2001 just after 911 and during the YUCCA MOUNTAIN FIASCO, I lived on Silverado Ranch and I literally almost died of BOREDOM. Las Vegas Nevada, NO THANKS.
yeah, in Al Capone times all was cheap in Chicago but we are in 2024 and the prices went up and prostitutes were cheap in past times. It is better in Thailand.
@leozama1 I wonder if that's why the mob was "vilified" ...outside of some illegal murders???? The state/government was missing out on THEIR payday!!! "They" don't want to miss out on any 💰💰💰💰!!!! We are from the government & we are here to help 😂😂😂😂😮😮😮🫣🫣🫣.
I have a bunch of player loyalty cards, so I decide where to stay based on who is willing to give me the best comps. I usually stay at the Wynn because they've offered me the best comps recently, followed by Venetian and Resorts World... but if you don't offer me a free room and at least some restaurant credit, you won't get me in your casino.
Well, the taxis have set fees now, so I’ve seen Uber be more expensive. The worst complaint I have is the smell everywhere of rotten weed. That smells like skunk.
Back in the day weed smelled sweet and good. We always said skunk is junk. Now that is all everyone has is skunk. Hilarious. They don't know what good weed was. (I'm not a pot smoker but liked the smell)
That ''fake'' photographer is actually good! Because he has a big light unit that helps the photograph's quality and clarity at night. I made photos with my iPhone first and it was not a good photo because of the light shining off the Vegas sign, And with the photographer light unit, it came out perfect. The price was $20, which is well worth it.
Love you guys ! It has gotten two expensive for us. I love Vegas and always enjoyed it and super special prices back then. I am living it with you two and having fun. Thank you for sharing !❤
Excellent presentation and very informative. I was walking across one of the upper sky walks and got confronted near the Excalibur. Two guys were off to the side and one asked for a light. I told him i was sorry but i didn't smoke. I am retired military and wear my baseball cap with my military insignia on it. I served 24 years and am proud of my career. The guy then asked if i had killed anyone lately. I thought this was a very odd question. I told him not lately. He said thats ok your going to burn in hell for it. I told him i would see him there. He said he wasn't going to hell. I told him he didn't understand, that Satan had me there taking names of people going to hell and he was at the top of my list. He had a strange look but didn't answer. I then walked away and wondered what that was all about. Later i figured that maybe they were checking to see if they wanted to try to rob me and had decided against it.
Thank you...I used to live in the downtown area in the late 80's. I still remember the dollar theater that used to be on Fremont Street. I was aware then, being a teenager. Haven't been back in 30 plus, but may visit this November. I am sure it will be unrecognizable to me. Thank you for your advisement, sending positivity from Texas.
Your video stopped me from doing one of those seminars for free nights at a hotel. When you said they are pushy and may even come in your room, i cringed. Thanks for the heads up😊
i was so happy to see you two reviewing Las Vegas. I absolutely love watching your videos. You two are the best. My friends are now visiting Vegas. I was telling them about some of my favorite spots, but it's been years since I was there. I have been there numerous times, but the last time I was there was 2012. I'm sure lots have changed since then. Thanks for your video. For some added words. A friend and I went to Seattle in April. We were hit up by scammers pushing CDs to benefit kids. They were really aggressive. I was really frustrated with them.
All of this is why I stopped coming to Las Vegas. I have been 3 times total with my wife and each visit got worse and worse. Even gambling at the Orleans casino on a weekday morning I was approached two separate times by hookers. I am in some gaming FB groups and the number of posts sharing HORRIBLE trips to Vegas keeps growing. The greed has gone crazy.
The Sahara still offers free parking, and offers some very good restaurants, beautiful pool, and rooms. The casino is very nice and has a variety of slots and table games!
Glad was born and raised in the Inner City of a Midwestern Ciy because to relate to point about where is it safe in Vegas to go I never worred about, anywhere where there is gambling and alcohol there is opportunity for different levels of crime, I suggest just be aware where you are going anywhere you visit because the so call ultra quiet areas are the worst crime areas then the bright noisy ones just saying. A good point to bring up...Been Vegas Veteran 20+ years, I catch the bus and everything glad to experience. Appreciate this segment, hope you continue to make more
been watching u guys for months now !! and u guys just keep blowing up more and more !! keep it up guys !! i live in vegas also hopefuly one day im able to stamble into you guys and say hello !! love u guys !!! new fan !!
I just came back two weeks ago. The Taxi was actually $10 cheaper than Uber. TBH, Check both. The taxis charge a standard fee, so you can look to see which is cheaper. It's nice to give Taxis a fair chance, especially since they are cheaper 😮
This the corporate take over of the Strip. They have no clue how we were built. We offered excellence for your dollar. When you gambled at a resort, we made sure to add enticements such as free dinners, shows, rooms, booze and whatever else you might want. The amount of free offers increased with your gambling. No one ever thought of charging to park, that came directly from corporate bosses who came from New York. They figured if you want to stay somewhere you will pay extra. My problem is Las Vegas is no longer the only place to get this type entertainment. We just might price ourselves out of business, especially since we are not , as a nation, rolling in the bucks. Having lived here all my life, born here in 1955, with my family involved with all things Vegas...I would hate to see these corporations destroy my town as they have many other things in our country. We no longer have the Binion's, Wynn's, Kerkorian's, Hughes or the Gaughan's or the various mobsters who privately owned their resorts and allowed invention and creativity to develop the city I remember.
Does anyone remember the 90s in Vegas? Besides the era of Frank Sinatra, i think that was the golden era. Flights were inexpensive, buffets were under 20 dollars, you could get a steak dinner for $5.99. I felt safe or maybe was just young and naive, but it was a great time.
I lived in Vegas in the 90s and early 2000s. Left in 2005. My ex was a construction worker, so we were living the dream, lol. Moved to Maine where it's quiet and cold but, sometimes I miss the party. I was a bartender at a local bar. Was a lot of fun. My daughter still lives there, so we go back every 2 yrs or so. Stay at a Ceasars property and gamble. Haha. It's so expensive now to eat! Luckily, my current hubbys cousin loans us a car and my daughter keeps us up to date on good locals spots so we don't eat on the strip. Miss them old days!
For low cost transportation and safety, you left out the city buses and the monorail. If you have only carry on luggage, you can ride the bus from the airport for way less than a taxi. Uber and Lyft may be no bargain compared to taxis. Remember Surge (higher) Pricing when they are busy! There is a city bus that runs along The Strip. No crazy long routes in a taxi that has a surprise cost at the end. The bus driver is not going to overcharge, sexually attack, rob or kidnap you. The monorail is limited in that it only goes between casinos for a part of the Strip, but not to Fremont St., old downtown Vegas. It is clean, safe and low cost, but more than the bus. Don't ride taxis if you want to save money.
Thanks for such an informative and entertaining video! ❤️ My husband and I are planning a short 2 day trip to LV in the Fall. Planning to stay at the PlatinumHotel and do a few low cost activities, including Botanical Gardens, Bellagio fountain, Fremont Srteet, the High Roller, Area 15, mini golf, etc and travel by free tram or bus services. If you can offer more suggestions and advise about all the different ways to travel via tram or bus. That would be amazing… maybe in your next video?.? 😊 💕💕
Great review on the Rio. That was our go to hotel in Vegas. We stayed there every year , since it opened , up until 2020. That is 30 years of loyal customers. The last two years we, went, it was sad. Restaurants closed, pool closed and it looked like a ghost town. The Rio was one of the best places to stay. It had everything. Huge rooms, great views from the 51st floor, show in the sky, buffet , ............. Now,...........nothing.
Man the last time i went to Vegas the escort cards were literally everywhere at night and when i got up there wasn't a single one on the ground or in the fences. I was impressed 😂
The first time I saw Vegas was as a child on a greyhound bus. It was the 70s and I was amazed by the lights. That day I also saw my first desert sunset. It bathed the bus in reds. Beautiful 😍
I love the two of you, you are so cute. My husband and I have been together 41 years and your energy reminds me of us. Thanks for everything. I love your videos 😊🌹♥️
Vegas is an amazing place. As a New Zealander I recently visited and fell in love with the place. I will say though. The “cheap” food is pretty gross and so expensive. It’s also funny that what you look for in scams, such as the timeshares etc didn’t seem anywhere near as in your face as the scams the big resorts were pulling. I don’t know if people were taking advantage of us but things like resort fees at a hotel you are expected to tip the room cleaners, the people that look after your bags post checkin etc seemed really on the chin. I would love to highly recommend Vegas to all my friends as it really is a one of a kind sort of place. But honestly the price of everything on the strip seems like it is to much, I don’t have enough experience with USA to say it’s more or less expensive but all I can say to my kiwi and Ozzie colleagues is to expect living costs to be double at a minimum. Well worth the visit but make sure you budget for it.
You guys are so cute together, it almost makes me sick in a healthy jealousy kind of way! Love your videos, and enjoying the long cut before I make 'the pilgrimage'.
Hey y'all! Just wanted to let you know that we are going to Vegas in a couple of days and came across your video that helped out tremendously a lot. Just wanted to tell y'all love y'all! Keep doing what y'all doing!
Generally hotels do charge for late checkout, we have to keep staff there, they can't book out the room. Early check-ins can be arranged, but staff are trying to turn over rooms, check people out. Generally nothing is "free" in cities.

LIke the casinos don't make enough!
I live in Florida. I say the same thing about the parks (Disney. Universal..etc)and beaches here..lol..Too many damn people
Not hating
but just a heads up to anyone watching this , I’m from Vegas
37 of 43 years ( I always come home 😁) and I’ve not ever seen Four Card Monty or any of that type Hustle in Vegas ever in My entire life
The casinos will get that BS out of there from around their properties in an instant
Also , I have not ever had anyone try to pull the scam of trying to hand me something “ for free “
That’s a scam hustle
Neither way you look at it I haven’t ever had that happen
But I have in NYC but I wasn’t falling for that BS
Just be aware and you’re all good
Even the dudes trying to get people into clubs
They’re usually gonna tell you the truth unless they’re dumb af
So it’s always possible
But most of all they get paid for You to go in so they just want you to go in and kick it
Some of them will still cost You $20 for entrance but just ask
If they say they’re getting you in free then they are. Bet that
They’re just trying to get the clubs packed and of course the club assumes that means they’ll sale drinks for $15 + ea. but a lot times you do not even have to buy a drink, I know at Mandalay Bay You didn’t have to
But I’m not 100 really anywhere else on that 1.
For Dudes, the strip clubs
They’ll get your group in free and the ride
Real Talk
They expect you’re going to start spending once you get there but you usually don’t have to
Just ask before you have them come pick you up or not
Once you get in there with the females you’ll start drinking & tipping though
It’s inevitable 😁
The casinos are the biggest scams out there
Not anyone out on the strip
Just like the 1st comment
The hustles are the Disneys’s & all that BS
They’re making insane $ & people still pay that BS
People need to stop going and make them come down
But … I get it
If you have the $ it’s better paying more because then there’s less & less of the undesirables there
So…. If you can afford it then it is worth paying it
That is exactly why I won’t go there b/c it’s too expensive & too crowded. I refuse to go anywhere with resort fees. That’s a scam, especially since not everyone uses them.
The timeshare scam in Las Vegas is at an all time high🤬🤬🤬
All timeshares are scams to be fair. I got caught out once. Never again!.. You live and learn.
I’ll be attending one wish me luck
@@spitfire1058please explain
@@sendit3251Did you get caught? How was your experience?
Love that you showed the scams and actually showed us how the scam is played, beside you both are such a cool fun married couple,
My parents went to Las Vegas for years in the 70’s-90’s and stayed at the Westward Ho next to Circus Circus. Westward Ho was a Motel with only two stories. We would get 99 cent shrimp cocktail.

You two are such a great couple. Love watching you together. They way he looks at you its obvious he loves you. You both have great personalities.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it!
This is the best review of Vegas I have ever seen thank you.
Thanks so much David!
I hate that everyone always hates on the airport slots. If you want to gamble, take the gamble! One time i won $900 while my flight was boarding!
My daughter worked there and watched a guy hit 5000 on a slot 🎰 he gave her a 300 tip because she is pretty and she helped him around in his chair 💺 it can happen
I went to Las Vegas with a really good friend in 2012, and stayed at the Excalibur, we had a really nice stay aside from the timeshare creeps that got us right away. After we left the timeshare mess tour, we had a really good time.

So sad to see the RIO in such bad shape. I was there in its heyday for a friend's birthday...MAN, WHAT A BLAST IT WAS! We rode in the rooftop Mardi-Graw parade. You could pay a fee,(can't remember how much $, I think it was about $20 or so)we would get into costumes and get into the sky buckets that went on the roof tracks and to join the "Rio Carnivale".There was a cast dressed in full-on Mardi-Graw New Orleans-type costumes and it was a party like no other! You would ride all around the casino in the sky buckets and throw down beads, trinkets, and tokens for free play to the people down on the floor under you. The whole casino had a party at the time and free drinks, streamers, and beads flying everywhere! It was THE place to be in the 90s for sure! The steak house was fabulous and the parties they threw on the roof were legendary! Fireworks off the top roof and great bands would play. The rooms were spotless and reasonable. In those days, all you had to do was show your airline ticket proving you traveled there and they would comp you all kinds of discounts and some free gambling. The old Vegas was much more fun and much classier to come to. The Tiger exhibit at the Mirage and the Volcano was Great! Then there were the sharks in the tunnel you could walk through. It was so much fun before the days of Vegas becoming a daycare for kiddies! There should be NO PLACE in Vegas for babies & kids ---EVER! Vegas was and should have been kept an adult playground.

So very sad that your generation never knew it as it was then.
Wow, that party sounds amazing. Rio (or some other hotel!) needs to bring that back!
From one local to another, great content. I'm on the Strip constantly not only for shopping, but also because I love feeling like a tourist in my own city. Yes, locals DO go to the Strip. Cute couple, too.
I’m a Vegas native and haven’t ever seen a lot of this stuff
No full card Monty
That casinos are not letting MuFu’s do any kind of card stuff anywhere near their premises
I haven’t ever had anyone try to hand me something then charge me for it
I forget the couple other things that had me a like where the heck do people encounter this
The only real issues are the Ese’s slapping the cards
And so many club hustlers
Most of them are legit
It’s just that there can be too many of them out there a lot of the time
Timeshare Resorts have a certain mile radius to sell & market to so the local answer is a good tip!
You two sure do a good job. I’ve seen lots of videos on different towns/destinations and most are almost strictly based on personal feelings. You both give an objective point of view, thank you.
This is hands down the best Vegas video I ever seen in my life. I absolutely love your channel!
Thanks so much! We are glad that you enjoyed the video!!
So the impression I’m getting is that Vegas is a terrible place to vacation. $50 for 2 cocktails should be a crime.
We stayed at South Point Casino off the strip the last time we went to Vegas. It was awesome! It changed the way we felt about where we had to stay when in Vegas.
Locals play there. It’s amazing
yall are hilarious lol and you guys showed so much, very informative, I truly appreciate all the different aspects shown of Vegas, keep up the good work
I love how informative the video was, and I also loved how long the video was actually fell asleep to the video it was so comforting 😊
The Rio used to be the place to go. It was lively and close enough to the strip. The buffet was our favorite in the city. It is unbelievable how however is responsible for the decline has let it go. Getting rid of the shuttle bus to the strip was a huge mistake. I wish the owners would remodel, bring back the shuttle buses and buffet and the show in the sky. The Rio was a great place for visitors and locals.
I really enjoy you guys videos! I’m laughing my booties off! Coming to Vegas in a couple of months to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday; taking her to see Usher🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤💙
The Rio is in disrepair. It's old & unattractive. No one goes there. It's a dump. Needs to be torn down & replaced, & I think that it will be.
The Voodu lounge use to be great as well .
always wonder if cesars is doing this on purpose
We wound up there after hearing about it and was very impressive and i myself cleaned out the seafood buffet. Last time we were there the reviews were awful.
This a really great vlog for newbies and also a good reminder for us old folks that like to visit Vegas. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! It’s certainly great for newbies and hopefully very helpful to all visiting, planning on moving here, or already living here.
The resorts fees and hidden fees are a « legitimate » way to screw you. I was in Vegas often and after the pandemic they really upgraded them, especially this June 2023.
All very true points. Never have been a fan of resort fees!
If you have any sort of street smarts, coming from a big city, new York, Philly etc, some of these you already know
You guys are seriously the cutest! I love your energy!
Ha. We stayed here on our 1st ever trip to Las Vegas nearly 20 years ago. It was fine then and we fell in love with Vegas. We’ve been back many, many times to vegas. It’s so strange that we now stay in skylofts at MGM, penthouses at Bellagio and suites at crockfords and encore. We all have to start somewhere I guess. It was fun going down memory lane. Thanks for the video.
Been to Vegas many many times but we no longer go. There are so many casinos now across the country to gamble at and they still have great food and dont stink like pot.
Down near the Stratosphere in downtown it's more than sketchy it's very dangerous
The other thing to remember is that if you win $1,200 or over you pay 30% tax. We came from Australia and were unaware of this. I mean even Russia and China tourists Do Not pay this tax! We were told there is No Treaty for Aussies! It really sucks, I mean if you win $1,200 you pay $400 in tax even though youre a Tourist And Cannot claim any of it back! Love you guys 🤗
First time viewing your videos, and I just want to say I love it!! Your tips are fantastic and money saving ideas. Thank you both so much I will be looking for more videos from both of you regularly 😊
you gained a new subscriber!!
An absolutely fun, informative 2 hours. Thank you from a new subscriber.
As a Vegas local, you are spot on! I go to Fremont, almost every weekend, and have a few tips to share about that. I would love to meet you guys, sit down and have a coffee together and discuss them. I don't want to put them on your channel without your permission. You two have some great videos, and if you are ever interested in talking to another local, or interview, I would be honored!
So so sorry!!! I been watching you guys for over 2 years and didn't know you pass 100k subs. Congrats did I miss a video of you guys showing your plaque??.. again congrats and thanks for all you do!!!
The monk is pretending not to speak English.
So good to show the scams.
We visited a friend's time share and wife signed us up for all these presentations. Some of the folks were SO PUSHY and rude. And she's correct about the time spent. We had to lie and said we didn't feel good to finally get her to leave.
One of the places even rang our credit and we confonted them and walked off.
It's bad in Florida too. High pressure and lies.
Great information!🎉
I lived there in the 90's, my son was born there. It was so cheap then. And a lot of places were family friendly. Food was super cheap! I had a wonderful time when I lived there during that time. When I went back to visit in 2010 and 2014 I was sooo disappointed.
My mom lives there I’ve done everything possible there is to do in Vegas from weddings, gun ranges, driving tanks, zip lining , coasters, shows everything I go there and I’m bored nowadays lol shit isn’t even worth it I just go there and stay at her house I’ve or catch a fight boxing or ufc depending on who’s fighting but it totally isn’t worth it anymore this is a great video for tourist tho
When we visited Vegas in 2008, we stumbled across this wonderful steak house in an old strip mall next to "the world's largest souvenir shop" called The Golden Steer. It was VERY old school as and was hands down the most expensive ($100+ per person I think) but most incredible tasting steak I've ever had in my life! I would love to see you guys review it and other old school places like it!
Just watched a series on Binnions and was also wondering how that steak house is.
i like how informative these videos are and how you seem real and not fake enthusiastic lol
Worst SCAM fee from a restaurant is the Tex Mex Tequila Bar. They add an 18% service fee! It is not the tip we asked. It is not anywhere on the menu either or on signage either.
Thanks for sharing! Wow, that’s crazy.
I'm glad I found your channel again. Now I subscribed. I like the your presentations
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
Great video. I like the sketchy areas in the daytime. Nice vintage shops, thrift stores, food and drinks.
First video I’ve seen of yours and you two are the freaking cutest! Thank you for the info! ☺️
Thanks for the helpful information. The last time my family was there was before covid. We were down feom Canada and my son was playing baseball nearby. The uber drivers looked after me and my young daughter. They were great about recommending attractions, what areas to avoid and were very reasonable. My husband and I are heading back soon and hope to do a lot of walking and sightseeing.
Vegas used to monitor the strip so it was safe ! Why have they stopped making it safe for tourists?
I usually stay Tuesday and leave Saturday Mid to Late evening, this way I get at least one day of the weekend experience and a full day on Saturday to drink and people watch
Thank you for the info! You guys are truly a gr8 couple. 😊
You’re very welcome, thanks so much Tracy!
You don’t mention the Deuce (bus). You can buy a pass for any number of days. That’s how I get downtown when I’m there.
Deuce bus is a life saver. Didn’t know and I was taking Uber
You can also take the tram and it’s free.
@@lebu5825we're going how do we get the tram ..... Or can you explain a bit please
@lebu5825 does the tram go past Excalibur now? The deuce goes to Fremont street and passes are good for 24hrs.
@@muffy5784 I can’t remember off the top of my head 😞
This is so informative! Thank you Tanya amd Dave.❤
I really loved this video. I recently retired and am looking to relocate to Las Vegas from Tampa. Life’s too short to spend any more time in Florida! I’m especially looking forward to the total desert climate. One day of rain a year is one too many!
I want to Thank You for All the Tips!
You are so welcome!
Absolutely loved the whole video. You guys did such a good job informing everyone, plan to watch this lots more times!!! Thanks so much!
this was similar to an investigative report. this was an awesome video. some of these same scams are in other ciities
Las Vegas was much much better when the Mob ran it back in the 70’s!!! All you can eat 24hr buffets for $7.00, drop dead gorgeous cocktail waitresses bringing you free drinks while you gambled, 25cent slot machines, you could put a quarter in a slot machine and win $800 dollars or more. I wouldn’t spend a nickel in that Boring Lily White town today.
I tried living there in 2001 just after 911 and during the YUCCA MOUNTAIN FIASCO, I lived on Silverado Ranch and I literally almost died of BOREDOM. Las Vegas Nevada, NO THANKS.
yeah, in Al Capone times all was cheap in Chicago but we are in 2024 and the prices went up and prostitutes were cheap in past times. It is better in Thailand.
Lily white? I thought Vegas was very multicultural!
@@timslater566 If visiting yes, trying to live and work there it’s a whole different Ballpark.
@leozama1 I wonder if that's why the mob was "vilified" ...outside of some illegal murders???? The state/government was missing out on THEIR payday!!! "They" don't want to miss out on any 💰💰💰💰!!!! We are from the government & we are here to help 😂😂😂😂😮😮😮🫣🫣🫣.
I have a bunch of player loyalty cards, so I decide where to stay based on who is willing to give me the best comps. I usually stay at the Wynn because they've offered me the best comps recently, followed by Venetian and Resorts World... but if you don't offer me a free room and at least some restaurant credit, you won't get me in your casino.
Well, the taxis have set fees now, so I’ve seen Uber be more expensive. The worst complaint I have is the smell everywhere of rotten weed. That smells like skunk.
U serious???
Back in the day weed smelled sweet and good. We always said skunk is junk. Now that is all everyone has is skunk. Hilarious. They don't know what good weed was. (I'm not a pot smoker but liked the smell)
That ''fake'' photographer is actually good! Because he has a big light unit that helps the photograph's quality and clarity at night. I made photos with my iPhone first and it was not a good photo because of the light shining off the Vegas sign, And with the photographer light unit, it came out perfect. The price was $20, which is well worth it.
Love you guys ! It has gotten two expensive for us. I love Vegas and always enjoyed it and super special prices back then. I am living it with you two and having fun. Thank you for sharing !❤
Excellent presentation and very informative. I was walking across one of the upper sky walks and got confronted near the Excalibur. Two guys were off to the side and one asked for a light. I told him i was sorry but i didn't smoke. I am retired military and wear my baseball cap with my military insignia on it. I served 24 years and am proud of my career. The guy then asked if i had killed anyone lately. I thought this was a very odd question. I told him not lately. He said thats ok your going to burn in hell for it. I told him i would see him there. He said he wasn't going to hell. I told him he didn't understand, that Satan had me there taking names of people going to hell and he was at the top of my list. He had a strange look but didn't answer. I then walked away and wondered what that was all about. Later i figured that maybe they were checking to see if they wanted to try to rob me and had decided against it.
Thanks Ron, wow, that’s an incredible story. Thanks for sharing, and thank you for your service.
More like a crackhead trying speed for the first time
Warning to all vacationers be careful at night down at Fremont Street very very dangerous area
Thank you...I used to live in the downtown area in the late 80's. I still remember the dollar theater that used to be on Fremont Street. I was aware then, being a teenager. Haven't been back in 30 plus, but may visit this November. I am sure it will be unrecognizable to me. Thank you for your advisement, sending positivity from Texas.
Your video stopped me from doing one of those seminars for free nights at a hotel. When you said they are pushy and may even come in your room, i cringed. Thanks for the heads up😊
i was so happy to see you two reviewing Las Vegas. I absolutely love watching your videos. You two are the best. My friends are now visiting Vegas. I was telling them about some of my favorite spots, but it's been years since I was there. I have been there numerous times, but the last time I was there was 2012. I'm sure lots have changed since then. Thanks for your video. For some added words. A friend and I went to Seattle in April. We were hit up by scammers pushing CDs to benefit kids. They were really aggressive. I was really frustrated with them.
All of this is why I stopped coming to Las Vegas. I have been 3 times total with my wife and each visit got worse and worse. Even gambling at the Orleans casino on a weekday morning I was approached two separate times by hookers. I am in some gaming FB groups and the number of posts sharing HORRIBLE trips to Vegas keeps growing. The greed has gone crazy.
Yes, when you go to one of the seediest casinos, you should expect that.
The Sahara still offers free parking, and offers some very good restaurants, beautiful pool, and rooms. The casino is very nice and has a variety of slots and table games!
Glad was born and raised in the Inner City of a Midwestern Ciy because to relate to point about where is it safe in Vegas to go I never worred about, anywhere where there is gambling and alcohol there is opportunity for different levels of crime, I suggest just be aware where you are going anywhere you visit because the so call ultra quiet areas are the worst crime areas then the bright noisy ones just saying. A good point to bring up...Been Vegas Veteran 20+ years, I catch the bus and everything glad to experience. Appreciate this segment, hope you continue to make more
Someone just hit 1.3M at the Vegas Airport Slot Machine the other day.
Really?
@@angelac2228yup
Feel like i am in Las Vegas. Video answers so many questions. Really enjoy being along with the hosts. Good job !
been watching u guys for months now !! and u guys just keep blowing up more and more !! keep it up guys !! i live in vegas also hopefuly one day im able to stamble into you guys and say hello !! love u guys !!! new fan !!
Thank you. We appreciate that! If you do stumble upon is please make sure to stop and yell TURN IT UP WORLD! We’d love to say hi!
I just came back two weeks ago. The Taxi was actually $10 cheaper than Uber. TBH, Check both. The taxis charge a standard fee, so you can look to see which is cheaper. It's nice to give Taxis a fair chance, especially since they are cheaper 😮
This channel def prepared me for my trip to Vegas Labor Day weekend.
Glad to hear we helped, thanks!
This the corporate take over of the Strip. They have no clue how we were built. We offered excellence for your dollar. When you gambled at a resort, we made sure to add enticements such as free dinners, shows, rooms, booze and whatever else you might want. The amount of free offers increased with your gambling. No one ever thought of charging to park, that came directly from corporate bosses who came from New York. They figured if you want to stay somewhere you will pay extra. My problem is Las Vegas is no longer the only place to get this type entertainment. We just might price ourselves out of business, especially since we are not , as a nation, rolling in the bucks. Having lived here all my life, born here in 1955, with my family involved with all things Vegas...I would hate to see these corporations destroy my town as they have many other things in our country. We no longer have the Binion's, Wynn's, Kerkorian's, Hughes or the Gaughan's or the various mobsters who privately owned their resorts and allowed invention and creativity to develop the city I remember.
Does anyone remember the 90s in Vegas? Besides the era of Frank Sinatra, i think that was the golden era. Flights were inexpensive, buffets were under 20 dollars, you could get a steak dinner for $5.99. I felt safe or maybe was just young and naive, but it was a great time.
I remember
I lived in Vegas in the 90s and early 2000s. Left in 2005. My ex was a construction worker, so we were living the dream, lol. Moved to Maine where it's quiet and cold but, sometimes I miss the party. I was a bartender at a local bar. Was a lot of fun. My daughter still lives there, so we go back every 2 yrs or so. Stay at a Ceasars property and gamble. Haha. It's so expensive now to eat! Luckily, my current hubbys cousin loans us a car and my daughter keeps us up to date on good locals spots so we don't eat on the strip. Miss them old days!
For low cost transportation and safety, you left out the city buses and the monorail.
If you have only carry on luggage, you can ride the bus from the airport for way less than a taxi. Uber and Lyft may be no bargain compared to taxis. Remember Surge (higher) Pricing when they are busy!
There is a city bus that runs along The Strip. No crazy long routes in a taxi that has a surprise cost at the end. The bus driver is not going to overcharge, sexually attack, rob or kidnap you.
The monorail is limited in that it only goes between casinos for a part of the Strip, but not to Fremont St., old downtown Vegas. It is clean, safe and low cost, but more than the bus.
Don't ride taxis if you want to save money.
Thanks for such an informative and entertaining video! ❤️ My husband and I are planning a short 2 day trip to LV in the Fall. Planning to stay at the PlatinumHotel and do a few low cost activities, including Botanical Gardens, Bellagio fountain, Fremont Srteet, the High Roller, Area 15, mini golf, etc and travel by free tram or bus services. If you can offer more suggestions and advise about all the different ways to travel via tram or bus. That would be amazing… maybe in your next video?.? 😊 💕💕
I live in Vegas for 3yrs now. I have walked from the Venetian to arts district at 1am. Safe to say I made it ok.
Congratulations
I'm a housekeeper at a hotel here in Vegas people don't tip the housekeepers because these rates and fees SAD
Housekeepers do a great job making rooms look so good! I tipped when I was in Vegas last month and hope other tourists do it or start to.
awesome show guys and valuable information. thanks mucho ❤
Great review on the Rio. That was our go to hotel in Vegas. We stayed there every year , since it opened , up until 2020. That is 30 years of loyal customers. The last two years we, went, it was sad. Restaurants closed, pool closed and it looked like a ghost town. The Rio was one of the best places to stay. It had everything. Huge rooms, great views from the 51st floor, show in the sky, buffet , ............. Now,...........nothing.
Love your videos very helpful. Love your steakhouse recommendations! Stay blessed and stay safe
Thank You my favorite RUclips couple. Your videos are so informative. I have never been to Vegas and I really want to go now. VIVA LAS VEGAS !
Thanks so much James, we are glad you enjoy our videos!! Viva Las Vegas!
Did you enjoy your vacation? Likes? Dislikes?
Man the last time i went to Vegas the escort cards were literally everywhere at night and when i got up there wasn't a single one on the ground or in the fences. I was impressed 😂
Lol, thanks for sharing Jamie!
Yes I was on the strip at 5am and they cleaned it all up within a hour
going to be in Vegas for the 1st time in a month and all your videos have been relly helpful! Thanks!!
Hope you have a wonderful trip! Have fun, stay safe, and take tons of photos! TURN IT UP!
The first time I saw Vegas was as a child on a greyhound bus. It was the 70s and I was amazed by the lights. That day I also saw my first desert sunset. It bathed the bus in reds. Beautiful 😍
I love the two of you, you are so cute.
My husband and I have been together 41 years and your energy reminds me of us. Thanks for everything. I love your videos 😊🌹♥️
Thanks for the info. We're from Toronto, heading to Vegas on May.
The last time I was in Las Vegas 6 years ago, I won a big amount of money on a slot machine in the airport, and I was betting the minimum bet.
Avoid all casinos that use continuous shuffle machines and reduce the blackjack premium from 3-2 to 6-5. That’s almost all the casinos in Las Vegas.
Love this video . Thinking of booking soon so watching all your vlogs 😊
Awesome video, subscribed.
Can you do a video for people moving to Las Vegas(tips, neighborhoods etc)
Wife & I are moving in the spring.
Thanks!
I made it from mandalay bay to luxor to Excalibur and i dont remember even going outside but 1 time to cross a walk about but that was one great time
Thanks Rudolph, yes, there are walkways inside you can take. A nice one between Mandalay Bay and Luxor!
Vegas is an amazing place. As a New Zealander I recently visited and fell in love with the place. I will say though. The “cheap” food is pretty gross and so expensive. It’s also funny that what you look for in scams, such as the timeshares etc didn’t seem anywhere near as in your face as the scams the big resorts were pulling. I don’t know if people were taking advantage of us but things like resort fees at a hotel you are expected to tip the room cleaners, the people that look after your bags post checkin etc seemed really on the chin. I would love to highly recommend Vegas to all my friends as it really is a one of a kind sort of place. But honestly the price of everything on the strip seems like it is to much, I don’t have enough experience with USA to say it’s more or less expensive but all I can say to my kiwi and Ozzie colleagues is to expect living costs to be double at a minimum. Well worth the visit but make sure you budget for it.
Good looking out, thanks you two.
You guys are so cute together, it almost makes me sick in a healthy jealousy kind of way! Love your videos, and enjoying the long cut before I make 'the pilgrimage'.
Thank you. We appreciate that!
Right? They have such good energy together
The picture guy only charges $20 and he takes awesome pictures. Definitely worth it.
Yay! Another educational and entertaining video. Thank you for making these videos. Love and Light!
Hey y'all! Just wanted to let you know that we are going to Vegas in a couple of days and came across your video that helped out tremendously a lot. Just wanted to tell y'all love y'all! Keep doing what y'all doing!
Your vlogs are always so well done! I always watch them.
Generally hotels do charge for late checkout, we have to keep staff there, they can't book out the room.
Early check-ins can be arranged, but staff are trying to turn over rooms, check people out.
Generally nothing is "free" in cities.
Sounds like it's better to go ANYWHERE ELSE in the world than Las Vegas.
