The D is my Favorite but that's because I'm a Sigma Derby Junkie gambling wise the Grand is Next on my list. I'd rather stay at the downtown Grand than the MGM grand
We started staying downtown about 10 years ago, and have always stayed at the 4 Queens. No resort fees, great restaurants & right in the middle of the action.
I haven't stayed downtown, but I like the Plaza for dining, the El Cortez and The D for gambling. I wasn't feeling Circa my one and only time gambling there!
Love your videos Ruby. Golden Nugget is my favorite because my father saw actor/singer Frank Sinatra perform there in 1987. That, and I won $300 there in 2019
We saw Frank Sinatra in Vegas the year Barbara Streisand was doing her “last” concerts. She was sold out. So we were able to see Frank. Fabulous show. And we were close enough to actually see him. No huge tv screens back then.
The Grand was the Lady Luck, our most favorite of all back in the day. We got married and stayed there all the time before we decided to move here and now it is no more. Did I hear you say the Pink Donut Box is cheap? I don't know about that, but after a few drinks and $24 later, I have a box of donuts that puts about 5lbs back on me. lol
Stayed in a suite at the Golden Gate a couple of weeks ago. The suite had a real cool 60s retro vibe. Liked it a lot. There's no restaurants on site, but you have access to all the Circa restaurants and amenities (like stadium swim) right across Freemont. Liked that GG is only a 110 room Property. The suite was on the Main St side, so it was quiet. Loved the history and prohibition theme. Staff was friendly and attentive. The comps I received were much better than what I got at mgm, venetian, or red rock (for similar play). Parking was also close to the hotel check-in. Hope to be back there in June.
Thanks for another fun video Ruby! I'm glad you included El Cortez, MY favorite hotel/casino. I win a LOT of money at El Cortez and I love every aspect of the place, but although it's the furthest away from the Fremont Street Experience, I wouldn't call El Cortez very quiet or even quiet. I'm at El Cortez often- in upper-floor, strip-view Tower Premium rooms and the music from all the competing bands and entertainers on Fremont Street is incredibly loud in my room up until 2AM, even on weeknights.
Hi, stayed at circa last month during March madness it was great as usual. I prefer staying opposite of the pool area.. it's just more quiet.. I do like that they check Everyone for ids.. I do prefer playing across at Golden gate because their craps odds are better
We were so excited to stay at The El Cortez after it was all redone. After 2 days....and a very bad "Rash" all over my body....the doctor informed me it was the result of bed bugs. We checked into The Golden Nugget. Loved it.
I really like Downtown Grands casino and the GN in its entirety....aside from the crazy crowds. GN sometimes does no resort fee promos, which is a great opportunity to upgrade to fancier rooms
Have to mention Charthouse and RUSH Lounge when talking about the Golden Nugget, also they have great concerts. I also love the Cal, renovated, quiet, good restaurants
Golden Nugget's always a winner (but can get crowded, as you noted). Back in the day, I used to stay at Main Street Station - cheap rooms, good grill (Triple 7), part of the Berlin Wall (if you know where, you know!) and a lower-key vibe than right on Fremont.
I love main Street station casino but I'm always bummed out that their table games are only open on weekends.. please get more dealers so us gamblers can wager at anytime
I always stay at the Golden Nugget when I go to Vegas and can attest about how great the place is! Great food, great staff, and being close to Fremont is always an added bonus! Plus there's the Chick-fil-a in the Rush Tower that is always open late night for some post Fremont hopping eats!
No favorite yet. We will be visiting Vegas for the first time this year, and we opted for 3 nights at the Four Queens. Your video about them helped us decide, so thanks for that!😊
I have stayed there at least sixty times. I have grown old waiting for an elevator but the pool on the roof at Binion's makes this the best option downtown.
@@Shadowleecher4 Queens is not 4* resort, hence no fees. 2 star Motels don't charge resort fees either. FACT: Circa casino checks ID 21+ only at door, to keep out unhoused/homeless.
Hi, yes I've never stayed or played at 4 queens.. but from passing by I probably never would..looks a little run down, and questionable people hanging out front..might need some love
I always stay Downtown at the Golden Nugget and I absolutely love it. It's my home away from home! Strip is way overrated and overpriced! Golden Nugget is definitely a great stay!
I'm dissapointed that Four Queens didn't make your list. In my opinion it's the best deal on Freemont due to no resort fee and low priced rooms. Great selection of slots and being in the middle of Freemont Street.
Hi Ruby, I watched a lot of your videos before going to Vegas last week! All your tips were spot on specially the $20 trick which worked at Planet Hollywood and was able to get a room with a view! Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Rubies.Im traveling to Vegas to visit my Nephew in Summerlin for the first time.I going to stay at Suncoast since its close by him.For my Birthday we are jumping off the Strat and then hitting the Bacchanal for supper.I thoroughly enjoy your vids.Especially since Im not a gambler and have been taking tips from you guys on the slots.Where in Wisconsin are you from? Minneapolis here.Would be a blast to see you out at Suncoast. Thanks and peace 👍🏼☮🇺🇸
We always stay at Main St Station, of course we have been going there for YEARS and my hubby and I each get 4 nights free every month, so its a no brainer as we can walk anywhere else we want to go downtown. But we like Main St because it is a LOT more mellow than the other casinos. Not too loud, not too smoky. We LOVE the staff there but then they know us well by now, many of them have become our friends. They recently renovated their rooms which is great! They do have a mini fridge but no coffee maker (which we don’t drink coffee so we don’t care). The cons are the casino is small…not the greatest selection of machines. And their table games are STILL not back in full action since the pandemic, they are only available on weekends. Also the restaurants have cut back hours since the pandemic as well, but the Triple 7 is a microbrewery so good beer and pretty good food, and they have a really good buffet. So, if you are looking for a quieter hotel/casino as a ‘home base’, with easy access to all the rest of the downtown action, Main St is a good option!
Great reviews, great video! One of these days I will make it to the downtown area / Fremont street (I have driven by, but not stayed or hung out there). Headed to Vegas in a week, but staying and hanging out on the South end of the strip. Things change so quickly there and there is so much to see!
Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful. We're going to LV for the first time in over 30 years and I take notes when I watch your reviews. We remember how fun downtown is, so on our way back from Grand Canyon Nat'l Park, we thought this would be a great way to stay to end our trip as we're staying on the strip on the first part.
Fremont casino has the Tony Roma prime rib special between 4:30 and 6:30 approximately every day for $10.00. We made reservations and it was delicious.
The Downtown Grand. Perfect. Rooms are very clean. Book online 2 days and one day free. Pool is great. Food and drinks. One block from Fremont but far enough to not hear the live music. Parking Lot is little scary. But it is free and valet is free.
Parking can be far , very little valet and no bell service. So the bottom side is that you are paying less but you'll have to work for it when it comes to dragging luggage
Hi Ruby!! Love your videos! We watch them everyday. My husband and I are coming to Vegas next year and your videos have helped us to decide where to stay and eat! Thank you!! We are looking to come in March is the weather a little cooler then? We love Ruby slots too!!
I've been to four of the five except for the downtown Grand which is the next one I want to stay at. 1 Circa 2 Grand 3 Golden Nugget 4 Plaza 5 El Cortez
El Cortez all the way for me. I'd like to try Downtown Grand, but they seem stingy with comps. I've definitely gotten comps at other properties at a lower coin in level. You're spot on about the non renovated rooms at Plaza. Very meh. If you're staying longer than two nights I like to work in a "Strip day" to change things up. Easy to canvas Fremont Street pretty quickly. Also, the vibe at Hogs n Heiffers is unique lol. Worth stopping in for a beer.
El Cortez's Boarding Pass Promo is such a great deal. Just go to the player's club & show them your out of town ID & boarding pass to get at least $10 free slot play, $25 blackjack match, & free drink at the bar.
I took your recommendation back in December to stay at the El Cortez however the rooms are very loud no insulation on the windows I got moved to the other side because I wanted to at least get a little bit of sleep. The original 47 rims are cool however with the club across the street the windows were shaking nice and friendly staff no complaints about that
I love that they didn't demolish the El Cortez, but I do wish they had left some blasts from the past, specifically, I wish they had left their 1940's 'coffee shop' in place. That's now only a memory for those lucky enough to have gone to the hotel 60 years ago.
Love your reviews. I have always stayed at Treasure Island on the strip but have had to change due to the density of smokers and inadequate ventilation system. I am looking to trying the Plaza for the non-smoking casino area and will also consider one of more of your suggestions. Thanks I watch your videos all the time.
I’m getting a house but I’ve heard a lot of horror stories from people about the bed bug situation in hotel Vegas.. I hear it’s pretty bad in Vegas.. I think it’s bad everywhere.. but so many people go there..
I've said this time and time again... My only REAL complaint about Golden Nugget is, the tub is really hard to get out of. In the Rush Tower, for whatever reason, the tub wall is really high Nit picky, sure. But man, I've almost faceplanted a few time getting out. Otherwise GN is top choice. 😊
Ugh, the Fremont. We stayed there in December, and the bathroom didn’t have a door on it. We had to go down to the main desk to ask for the maid service after the second day of not getting it. You must have gotten lucky?
i absolutely love downtown a whole different vibe than the strip but i love the strip too..planning a visit in december and want to stay a few nights downtown debating between el cortez, downtown grand or circa….leaning towards el cortez since noise isn’t too bad there but if had to pick one of those which would it be? thanks again for all your videos
Great list and it highlights great properties. I have stayed at most of them except The Plaza. One more con for The Plaza is the air freshener/odor they use inside the casino smells like a men's room urinal cake/deodorizer. It's difficult for me to breath in the casino so I couldn't imagine having to stay in one of their rooms with that smell.
been going to Vegas annually for at least the past 23 years for fun and visiting family. I've only visited Fremont street a handful of time and have never really spent a significant amount of time there, which i regret. I've also never booked a stay at any of the Fremont St. & downtown properties. Since i've had kids over the past several years, i'm usually staying somewhere on the strip or at Red Rock because there seems a good amount of entertainment offerings for families. Are there any hotels downtown that might be suitable for families, or anything at all for kiddos to do/see downtown? If not, then i'll just have to visit downtown soon without the kiddos.
Ruby what are your thoughts on the fees and upcharges ? On the Plaza booking screenshot, the fees almost total the cost of the room, which is absolutely crazy.
When we stayed at the plaza, the smell of the spray they used to mask the smoke smell was awful. I’m worried about booking another stay and having that smell again. Any place where they don’t use a strong perfume to mask the smoke smell?
After how they treated the Casino Quest/CEG crew a couple years ago I can’t support the Grand. Screwed over patrons who were there for a birthday party and jacked up table games among other things that they went back on in their written agreement. Whole party had to move the day of (in the middle of the party) because the staff was rude and threatened to kick them all out. Until Casino Quest issues any kind of update that there was a resolution (which I haven’t seen yet) I’ll never go there.
So I’ve been there 6 times, my husband has never been and we are going in a week. Saying at a timeshare place (trust I can handle saying no maybe next year expecting grand baby soon) so we have 3 nights there and two nights for somewhere else. I love freemont st. I booked two days for a great price at the golden nugget at5am today. What are the current room conditions and is there a pool guest can use for free? $50 for a day pass per person is outrageous.
Great video very helpfully. I will be relocating to Pahrump soon for a 2 year project and definitely want to check the downtown area out. These videos definitely help.
Check out my full reviews of each property! Which downtown hotel is your favorite?
Golden Nugget because my father saw Frank Sinatra there in 1987. And I won $300 there in 2019
The D is my Favorite but that's because I'm a Sigma Derby Junkie gambling wise the Grand is Next on my list. I'd rather stay at the downtown Grand than the MGM grand
You can get a coupon from Las Vegas Advisor and have your resort fees waived at the Grand.
We started staying downtown about 10 years ago, and have always stayed at the 4 Queens. No resort fees, great restaurants & right in the middle of the action.
I haven't stayed downtown, but I like the Plaza for dining, the El Cortez and The D for gambling. I wasn't feeling Circa my one and only time gambling there!

We love the Golden Nugget. We stay there every year. I love the Fremont St experience.
Ruby, I got two nights between Xmas and NY's coming up at Golden Nugget for $148 total. Can't beat that.
The Grand was the Lady Luck, our most favorite of all back in the day. We got married and stayed there all the time before we decided to move here and now it is no more. Did I hear you say the Pink Donut Box is cheap? I don't know about that, but after a few drinks and $24 later, I have a box of donuts that puts about 5lbs back on me. lol

I definitely need to stay at Circa at some point. That Stadium Swim!
Just stay at the D or Golden Gate and you get access to Stadium Swim.
Hi, stayed at circa last month during March madness it was great as usual. I prefer staying opposite of the pool area.. it's just more quiet.. I do like that they check Everyone for ids.. I do prefer playing across at Golden gate because their craps odds are better

EL CORTEZ has always treated us well. I love to old vegas feel!
I really like Downtown Grands casino and the GN in its entirety....aside from the crazy crowds. GN sometimes does no resort fee promos, which is a great opportunity to upgrade to fancier rooms
We've stayed at the El Cortez in a lovely suite with a huge walk-in shower. We had some good meals at Siegal's 1941.
Have to mention Charthouse and RUSH Lounge when talking about the Golden Nugget, also they have great concerts. I also love the Cal, renovated, quiet, good restaurants
I love your videos they helped my wife and I it was my first time and we enjoyed it! Cannot wait to try one of these places out!!!

We stayed there very recently renovated rooms it's nice and cozy quiet
I always stay at the Golden Nugget when I go to Vegas and can attest about how great the place is! Great food, great staff, and being close to Fremont is always an added bonus! Plus there's the Chick-fil-a in the Rush Tower that is always open late night for some post Fremont hopping eats!
You almost had me convinced until you mentioned the hateful Chick-fil-a...so that's a hard pass...
Chick-Fil-a is in the Carson tower. You may be thinking of Chart House that's in the Rush Tower.
No favorite yet. We will be visiting Vegas for the first time this year, and we opted for 3 nights at the Four Queens. Your video about them helped us decide, so thanks for that!😊
Thank you Ruby I'm planning Christmas in Las Vegas.
Perfect list Ruby!! 👍🏻 great job! I like downtown grand it’s nice
I prefer 4 Queens for one simple reason. NO RESORT FEES!!!!
I have stayed there at least sixty times. I have grown old waiting for an elevator but the pool on the roof at Binion's makes this the best option downtown.
heading there in November during the F1 event. and have mixed feelings great pricing but feel very rundown.

@@juanluisoterosen3966put the $20 between your credit card and Id and ask if they have complimentary room upgrades.
We tried our first off strip casino just a few weeks ago. Loved it!
we love main street . off fremont quiet and 777 great restaurant
Four Queens we stayed there last October. Coming this Friday thru Sunday and trying The Plaza.
Thanks Rubies.Im traveling to Vegas to visit my Nephew in Summerlin for the first time.I going to stay at Suncoast since its close by him.For my Birthday we are jumping off the Strat and then hitting the Bacchanal for supper.I thoroughly enjoy your vids.Especially since Im not a gambler and have been taking tips from you guys on the slots.Where in Wisconsin are you from?

Agree main Street is like family, the staff is great.. but still they need to get dealers so they can open up those table games 24/7
Hi ruby!! Love your videos!!
🎉🎉🎉Love Downtown Fremont Experience Such A Vibe & The El Cortez Have A Airport ✈️ Shuttle If You Stay There GREAT Picks & Video Mrs Rubby
Not having to mess with the elevator in the original rooms at el Cortez is a plus for me
At night is it safe to walk to El Cortez from the Fremont experience? Thanks !
Great reviews, great video! One of these days I will make it to the downtown area / Fremont street (I have driven by, but not stayed or hung out there). Headed to Vegas in a week, but staying and hanging out on the South end of the strip. Things change so quickly there and there is so much to see!
Thank you Ruby for this video it truly helps those of us who have never stayed downtown 😊
We use to always stay at Golden Nugget but last visit in 21 it was horrible. Room in gold Tower was horrible. We now stay at Circa.
Going to Oscar's Steakhouse with my brother here in a couple of weeks, really looking forward to it due to your recommendations!
Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful. We're going to LV for the first time in over 30 years and I take notes when I watch your reviews.

You’re Always upbeat and honest.
That’s probably why you’re so successful.
The golden nugget is a classic hotel
The downtown grand was a wonderful hotel. Clean and a lot more quiet than you would think.
Fremont casino has the Tony Roma prime rib special between 4:30 and 6:30 approximately every day for $10.00.

The Downtown Grand. Perfect. Rooms are very clean. Book online 2 days and one day free. Pool is great. Food and drinks. One block from Fremont but far enough to not hear the live music. Parking Lot is little scary. But it is free and valet is free.
I’m heading to the grand next week , can’t wait ! Love the location.
We ❤Ruby’s channel & ❤ her & Mr Ruby’s recommendations ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Parking can be far , very little valet and no bell service. So the bottom side is that you are paying less but you'll have to work for it when it comes to dragging luggage
I've only stayed there twice so far and rated Downtown Grand above the D. I'm staying at the Plaza next month and I'm looking forward to that.
Thanks Ruby. The Grand looks nice.
The absolute best Vegas reviews.
stayed at the Downtown Grand before, and it was great.
Hi Ruby!! Love your videos! We watch them everyday. My husband and I are coming to Vegas next year and your videos have helped us to decide where to stay and eat! Thank you!! We are looking to come in March is the weather a little cooler then? We love Ruby slots too!!
I've been to four of the five except for the downtown Grand which is the next one I want to stay at.
1 Circa
2 Grand
3 Golden Nugget
4 Plaza
5 El Cortez
Hey Ruby! Great resorts reviews! What's your favorite favorite place? Would you ever do a video of ways to get pampered in Vegas?
El Cortez all the way for me. I'd like to try Downtown Grand, but they seem stingy with comps. I've definitely gotten comps at other properties at a lower coin in level. You're spot on about the non renovated rooms at Plaza. Very meh. If you're staying longer than two nights I like to work in a "Strip day" to change things up. Easy to canvas Fremont Street pretty quickly. Also, the vibe at Hogs n Heiffers is unique lol. Worth stopping in for a beer.

Simply the BEST,great vibe, great🎼🎶, solid info😎
Thanks, Ruby. I am planning a trip definitely for January 2025. I've never been to downtown, but I might stay in one of these five you recommend
Another helpful video, Rubys 😊. Appreciate your viewpoint.
Ty for sharing. All really good choices. Love the downtown grand. Although they will get u with the resort fees and hold fees. 😊
I took your recommendation back in December to stay at the El Cortez however the rooms are very loud no insulation on the windows I got moved to the other side because I wanted to at least get a little bit of sleep. The original 47 rims are cool however with the club across the street the windows were shaking nice and friendly staff no complaints about that
I love that they didn't demolish the El Cortez, but I do wish they had left some blasts from the past, specifically, I wish they had left their 1940's 'coffee shop' in place. That's now only a memory for those lucky enough to have gone to the hotel 60 years ago.
Can't debate this list. El Cortez as a solid regular and Circa for a splurge and a party!
Love your reviews. I have always stayed at Treasure Island on the strip but have had to change due to the density of smokers and inadequate ventilation system. I am looking to trying the Plaza for the non-smoking casino area and will also consider one of more of your suggestions. Thanks I watch your videos all the time.
Best Downtown Hotel mainstreet Station 💁
Love Main Street!
Good choices, though I may have to put El Cortez in consolation and install Fremont instead//
Downtown Grand Hotel is my go to place to stay downtown.
love love love your reviews!
My con for the Plaza would be the bed bugs 🪳
First time staying downtown next month- Downtown Grand for the win!
Love the Triple George!
Love Downtown Grand! We stayed there when we got married
I love hearing that Circa keeps their swimming pools heated and open year round
We love the Plaza! 💕
Ruby we love ur vids my bestie just moved to Vegas. I live in Seattle but I'm in Vegas 2 times in the next 4wks dressed as Alan Hangover w Carlos😂
I’m getting a house but I’ve heard a lot of horror stories from people about the bed bug situation in hotel Vegas.. I hear it’s pretty bad in Vegas.. I think it’s bad everywhere.. but so many people go there..
10:44 Circa actually stopped using room keys for ID at the door because people would give them out to others to get them in under 21.
Great job Rube!!!
I've said this time and time again...
My only REAL complaint about Golden Nugget is, the tub is really hard to get out of. In the Rush Tower, for whatever reason, the tub wall is really high
Nit picky, sure. But man, I've almost faceplanted a few time getting out. Otherwise GN is top choice. 😊
Ugh, the Fremont. We stayed there in December, and the bathroom didn’t have a door on it. We had to go down to the main desk to ask for the maid service after the second day of not getting it. You must have gotten lucky?
The Golden Nuggets rooms have not been upgraded in over 15 years . Maybe even longer. They need to renovate.
Golden Nugget has the only poker room downtown, that is something you should definitely mention
i absolutely love downtown a whole different vibe than the strip but i love the strip too..planning a visit in december and want to stay a few nights downtown debating between el cortez, downtown grand or circa….leaning towards el
cortez since noise isn’t too bad there but if had to pick one of those which would it be? thanks again for all your videos

Plaza is my fav.
Is there a general rule of thumb as to months outdoor pools are open?
What’s the $20 trick for upgrading?
Oscar’s ❤❤❤ Plaza is great!
Do you have any recommendations for a visit at Christmas?
This was very helpful !

Guests are free to use the pool

What hotels allow you to use the Pool @ Circa?
