My wife and I, when we go to Vegas and no matter where we stay on the strip, ALWAYS make Ellis Island a destination stop. The drinks are super strong and the food at Ellis Island is both delicious and inexpensive. When we were there last June, we both had the breakfast NY Strip steak and eggs special for $7.99. It was so much food we couldn’t even finish it. Always a great time at Ellis Island!
I usually dont enjoy couple vlogs because it doesnt add anything except for annoying couple banter. However, I find that your reviews are complementary to one another and show different perspectives. I am enjoying this very much. Also, Derrick seems like a nice guy. Im glad you found love with someone that suits you so well. Love how polite and nice Catherine always is with the staff.
I love that you have evolved Derek. Too often tubers trade on themselves and are not open to great opportunities. You have both developed into a must watch couple, you could even return to many places you had been to on your own. Also can't wait for the numerous new seasons of "All you can eat...London, Sydney, New York, Tokyo etc etc". The possibilities are endless. Good luck in the future.
Catherine PERFECTLY complement you and the reviews. I didn't know if your channel could reinvent itself after the lock-down, but it is now the best it has ever been. Well done!
It's a top sirloin cut, so it'll be on the tougher side. The graveyard steak and eggs special is a better cut. They give a New York steak with that. :)
Top sirloin will be tougher than a fillet however it is very tasty here in Canada that’s what they serve at a restaurant called the keg which is consistently good
Awesome... its Sunday and time for Derek and Catherine! I like my beef medium-well... When you cut that open and showed it on close-up I thought to myself "its still moo-ing!" On the other hand, that Chicken Cream Soup looked amazing, and the fried chicken looked spot on. Thanks, and until next time!
My parents told me the Flamingo had 18 ounce t-bone steak with two sides back in the 80's for only $3.99 and it was the best steak they had in Vegas at the time. Great video Derek 👍
lol. I thought the "gravy" at the beginning was like the brown gravy for chicken at Jollibees. Good choice sending that steak back to be cooked a little bit more.
That steak had a cold center which I cannot do either. I would have sent it back too but to each their own. Thanks for showing places w/different price ranges👍🏼
My husband and I so love your vlogs. Your manners are impeccable. You complement each other so well. You are both a joy to behold. I usually dislike seeing people eat but you are an exception to the rule. I am not a foodie though my husband is but I do love your honest opinions.
@@Trainy2 Could be. I ate Mcd and BK in the last week - both my combo meals were pretty similar in price. Could very well be cheaper chains, I've just not tried them yet.
Thank you guys you’re so nice together and making great videos. Very envious living in England in lockdown all restaurants still closed. The steak was medium rare close to rare but it was a thick cut. I’d send it back too but inevitably comes back over done. Keep up the good work you’re naturals.
I am a line cook, and will say two things, one, if you ordered it medium, I would have used a thinner cut of meat, or pounded that one out a bit. Its tough to cook a piece of meat that thick anything but rare or medium rare. Two, Yeah I'm guessing that's a petite sirloin. So it's not a New York strip, it might be flavorful, but that cut is not going to be very tender no matter the temp.
Glad you guys sent that steak back. I was getting a bit nervous there 😅 Nice retro feel to this video - the good ole buffet days - but with an additional perspective from Katherine. Good stuff!
That special used to come with your choice of a beer or a glass of rootbeer, both made in house. And you didn't need the players card or to spend 5 bucks. You should try the bbq place there as well. There's a coupon for it on your players card.
I love the way Derek watches Catherine eat when he doesnt have anything to eat. She asks if he wants to try it, hes looking like yeah, don't you see my mouth watering over here🤣
Ellis Island - what a great Las Vegas value. Your dinner specials looked amazing. I like the way you serve each other. The couple that eats together, stays together. Thanks for sharing.
Compliment from TORONTO CANADA I am drooling over that your dinner make my mouth water we are still in the total LOCKDOWN unable to eat outside please have mercy on our diet Great job liking it THANKS
I have been to Vegas 11 times now . I have never been to Ellis Island . I will be there in 2 weeks . I’m going there this time for sure and try it out. Thanks for the videos guys !!!
The Prime Rib is SPECTACULAR, also the Split Pea soup on Tuesdays and the Clam Chowder on Fridays are FANTASTIC. All of their soups are made in house. I HIGHLY recommend Ellis Island it is a treasured Las Vegas secret!!!! I love Ellis Island.
Thank you. Always fun to have a meal with you. I wish there would be some universal way to communicate how you want a meat cooked and have it come out that way. Most of the time it comes to me well done.
Back in the olds when I was growing up we took.a 2 week family vacation on the Jersey shore, like Wildwood. Derek's fried chicken was called "chicken in the basket". Had fries underneath. Fried shrimp came like that. Naturally , shrimp in the basket..I wonder if they're still referred to as that Great memories.
Your videos are the best. Awhile back I mentioned Ellis Island. When ever I visit Vegas I always stop there for breakfast lots of locals go there. Also I heard they have awesome BBQ. They have a BBQ restaurant in the back....👍👍
You two are so much fun! Just what I needed a little cheering up! I guessed it twice..talking to my screen, its a1 sauce! And send it back! You two really compliment each other, thank you!!!!
On our last trip to Vegas we stumbled into Ellis Island, it's a cool place to visit and their cold beers that they brew onsite are great as well! Thanks for the video.
Catherine has a very solid perspective. But she respects it's your channel & doesn't take over...but you can tell she'd love to. You guys are a perfect couple yin yang.
Hey Dereck loved your videos for years now. Catherine is great! We went to Ellis Island last year and had the steak special as well. I ordered medium as I like medium rare and I thought they might undercook it. But it was totally rare. The problem is...this is piece of sirloin cut to resemble a fillet mignon. It will never be a fillet and was the worst pice of meat I ever had in Vegas. Couldn’t eat it. Sorry to say but just being truthful. The chicken looked good. The dealers there are all very nice and it makes for a good time on the gaming floor. Keep doing the videos, they are great!
Always fun to go along with the two of you. Ellis Island will be in my to-do list next Las Vegas visit! Thanks Derek n Catherine 🃏♣️♦️♠️♥️🎲🎰🏵🌹🥀🌼🦋☕🌻😉😊😎💟💥💫🕶
I stayed in Vegas last November and while staying at Bally's,now the horseshoe, I was told by one of the keno workers that I should go eat breakfast at Ellis Island. I walked over and the breakfast special was steak and eggs for 6.99 I was in Vegas for nine days and I ate at all the suggested breakfast places on the strip and that breakfast special at Ellis Island was the best breakfast I had had in Vegas in years. I'm a breakfast snob and I approve of Ellis Island.
Favorite joint in Vegas - the other menu items and sides are usually better than the steak, but sometimes you need a cheap steak and they’re hard to find anymore. Breakfast rocks at Ellis Island as well, and their bbq is also very good.
The Steak Special looked amazing for the price! I enjoy a rare steak though and understand many people don’t. It definitely would have been a tough old boot if it was cooked to medium. Love your videos and the shared enjoyment of food you have Mr & Mrs All You Can Vegas!
Ellis Island is becoming more and more popular. The drink and food specials looks great and the food does look good. Definitely some place to try on my next visit.
I love the Village Pub, so good. We've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. It's a nice place to eat when you're not trying to break the bank, good food, good service at a reasonable price. I'm like you when it comes to my steak, to me that steak was definately medium rare if blood is coming out. Medium has a lil pink left but no blood. Medium well cooked throughout but still some juice left. I dont do well done because it always ends up over cooked.
Filet is always served on the rare side, any more done and it is a hocky puck wrapped in shoe leather. Due to the lack of fat and thickness oc the cut, same as most game meat such as elk, venison or bison
Ellis Island has great breakfasts and BBQ also. The rooms are clean and inexpensive. The craps crew are friendly. Great place, only a long block East of Ballys
That place is Amazing. The soup cream of chicken is my favorite. this is one of the best cafe's in Las Vegas. It's been a cab driver go to for many years. Usually weekdays my wife and I get there. Weekends get ready to wait half hour+ nice vid
Great video ! Love when you guys visit places with good* cheap food. And that steak was definitely medium rare*** way too red. Keep up the great work you two 😀
be aware i was there today and they raised up the price to 14.99 or 11.99 if you get teh discount
My wife and I, when we go to Vegas and no matter where we stay on the strip, ALWAYS make Ellis Island a destination stop. The drinks are super strong and the food at Ellis Island is both delicious and inexpensive. When we were there last June, we both had the breakfast NY Strip steak and eggs special for $7.99.

I love how Catherine used to be a bit shy eating on camera, now she just dives in 👍
Understatement of the year! 🐽
All you can vegas with derek and catherine
Catherine is such a fun addition to the channel!!!
They are a beautiful couple they work so well together ..one of the best programs on RUclips in my opinion i try to never miss a program
Agree!!!
I usually dont enjoy couple vlogs because it doesnt add anything except for annoying couple banter. However, I find that your reviews are complementary to one another and show different perspectives. I am enjoying this very much. Also, Derrick seems like a nice guy. Im glad you found love with someone that suits you so well. Love how polite and nice Catherine always is with the staff.
And Derek.
I used to ask about Catherine, hiding there, but now, that we see her, she is really nice and add a positive dimension to the show.
Visually showing the insider process of the Player's Club discount is very helpful compared to just talking about it.
Thanks for details explanations and process on how to get the discount coupons as it was very helpful! Love to see all your videos!
I love that you have evolved Derek. Too often tubers trade on themselves and are not open to great opportunities. You have both developed into a must watch couple, you could even return to many places you had been to on your own. Also can't wait for the numerous new seasons of "All you can eat...London, Sydney, New York, Tokyo etc etc". The possibilities are endless. Good luck in the future.
Thanks, Frank!
Adding Catherine was a great idea! She gives a cool second perspective. Enjoyed the video. Please keep them coming.
Catherine PERFECTLY complement you and the reviews. I didn't know if your channel could reinvent itself after the lock-down, but it is now the best it has ever been. Well done!
I love the addition of Katherine. Also Derek’s face when he loves something tastes.
Thanks for doing videos on cheap eats. Really helpful for planning a trip to Vegas.
I agree
Totally agree. Love cheap eats that are good.
It's a top sirloin cut, so it'll be on the tougher side. The graveyard steak and eggs special is a better cut. They give a New York steak with that. :)
@@jaysantos536 depends on where you live. i can find great choice strips
The ny strip and eggs is so good you can’t go wrong with it.
Top sirloin will be tougher than a fillet however it is very tasty here in Canada that’s what they serve at a restaurant called the keg which is consistently good
The steak looks fine for my taste but it is definitely medium rare rather than medium.
looked rare to me
It was rare, not medium rare.
Looked perfect (rare) to me.
not med rare but RARE and still MOOOOOOOOO'ing
Thank you for showing Vegas values.
Agreed. Some travel channels only show the $$$$ places.
Want more cheap eats in Las Vegas? WATCH THIS: ruclips.net/video/AWuMtyafquE/видео.html
Nearly 100k subs Derek!
for your 100k sub special can you Marry Catherine on live stream by an Elvis impersonator please, cheers :)
cooks in restaurants are taught to send out steak's slightly under dun you can always cook a steak more you cant un-cook it
I'm surprised they didn't give you a 'fresh cut' of steak as opposed to reheating it. Good video, that food made me salivate!
@@B-ch6uk behave like a "Karen" lol, thanks for the updated BH!
Kathryn is going to make sure you get that Double Cut Prime Rib next time! Good On Her! Love You Guys!
Awesome... its Sunday and time for Derek and Catherine! I like my beef medium-well... When you cut that open and showed it on close-up I thought to myself "its still moo-ing!"

My parents told me the Flamingo had 18 ounce t-bone steak with two sides back in the 80's for only $3.99 and it was the best steak they had in Vegas at the time. Great video Derek 👍
Seafood Buffet at that time $14.99.
That's like 40 years ago...
@@DUNGSTA yeah and the 80s were the best
lol. I thought the "gravy" at the beginning was like the brown gravy for chicken at Jollibees. Good choice sending that steak back to be cooked a little bit more.
I go there every morning when I'm in vegas for the steak and eggs best deal in town
You're paying for it, have it the way you like it. 👍
Looks great. Especially for 7.99 definitely gotta check out Ellis Island
Yes! I love Ellis Island. Thank you for sharing!!
Definitely rare!! I would have asked for a recook!
So you're saying that I shouldn't have spent $32 on a turkey sandwich at Ceasars??
That steak had a cold center which I cannot do either. I would have sent it back too but to each their own. Thanks for showing places w/different price ranges👍🏼
My husband and I so love your vlogs. Your manners are impeccable. You complement each other so well. You are both a joy to behold. I usually dislike seeing people eat but you are an exception to the rule. I am not a foodie though my husband is but I do love your honest opinions.
You two are definitely my favorite Americans 👍Your open, smiling, nice faces 👍And you spread out so much wonderful, good energy ❤️Well done 👍❤️👍
Last time I was in Vegas I ate at the Ellis island BBQ. It was good. I’ll have to try the steak next time.
Catherine is so nice, you can tell she didn't like the steak, but still ate it with a smile!
You really need to try “That - Really - Big Ice - Cream Chocolate Brownie - Thing”. It was very good.
It’s hard to even get a value meal at McDonalds for 7.99 anymore
That's what we all know to be progress and modernity.
I call it McDonalds being way overpriced
@@Trainy2 Inflation. Labor Costs. This is only a start..... it's gonna get more fun.
But even compared to other fast food burger places they're more expensive
@@Trainy2 Could be. I ate Mcd and BK in the last week - both my combo meals were pretty similar in price. Could very well be cheaper chains, I've just not tried them yet.
I love the variety of these videos, from the great deals/cheap eats to the high-end places, keep 'em coming!
Thank you guys you’re so nice together and making great videos. Very envious living in England in lockdown all restaurants still closed. The steak was medium rare close to rare but it was a thick cut. I’d send it back too but inevitably comes back over done.
Keep up the good work you’re naturals.
I remember the $2.99 steak and eggs at the Golden Nugget, no players club card or wager needed. Those were the days.
Good times
I'm one of those who says a good steak must be medium rare, so it looked perfect! 😂 But that price is amazing! Another one for my list!
I am a line cook, and will say two things, one, if you ordered it medium, I would have used a thinner cut of meat, or pounded that one out a bit. Its tough to cook a piece of meat that thick anything but rare or medium rare. Two, Yeah I'm guessing that's a petite sirloin.

Planning for May. I need to start working on my itinerary of must do's. This place is one of those.
I love the way Derek watches Catherine eat when he doesnt have anything to eat. She asks if he wants to try it, hes looking like yeah, don't you see my mouth watering over here🤣
So glad to see the both of you seeing both eyes pop out of you enjoying your meal love you
Ellis Island - what a great Las Vegas value. Your dinner specials looked amazing. I like the way you serve each other. The couple that eats together, stays together. Thanks for sharing.
Compliment from TORONTO CANADA I am drooling over that your dinner make my mouth water we are still in the total LOCKDOWN unable to eat outside please have mercy on our diet Great job liking it THANKS
You keep adding more places for me to dine at when I make my next trip!
I have been to Vegas 11 times now . I have never been to Ellis Island . I will be there in 2 weeks . I’m going there this time for sure and try it out. Thanks for the videos guys !!!
Unbelievably. I've never been to Ellis Island, but wow, what a great deal. This is a slice of the old Vegas. Love ya both, thanks for a great vid.

Awww yeah! It can't be all Gordon Ramsay all the time. 😉 Nice to see there are still bargains to be had in Vegas. 👍👍
My wife and I want to fly to Vegas for the weekend, So i keep showing her y'alls videos and she loves them!!
Awesome!
I don’t know how y’all stay so nice and thin! I’d be 500 lbs if I did y’all’s blog😂✌️😎
I LOVE seeing you two: makes me so envious!
I truly enjoy watching the two of you share and enjoy your food. It makes the video experience extremely enjoyable!

Ty for showing the whole process of redeming rewards you should do more videos like this
Love it !!!
I've had a couple of friends recommend the pub at Ellis Island for decent Cheap Eats.. thank you for heading there and giving us some thoughts!
On our last trip to Vegas we stumbled into Ellis Island, it's a cool place to visit and their cold beers that they brew onsite are great as well!
Thanks for the video.
Everything looked good for the price! Generous portions too. Thanks for another great review Derek and Catherine! 👍😁
Great to see the restuarant re-fire that steak to medium and the helpful service! 👊👊👊
The Double Cut is something I'd eat after a squat/deadlift/chest day...as in all done on same day. 32 oz...geez. Glad you guys enjoyed it all.
That steak looks super tough. Derek was chewing for an hour 🤣
Catherine has a very solid perspective. But she respects it's your channel & doesn't take over...but you can tell she'd love to. You guys are a perfect couple yin yang.

That steak looked undercooked to me
That steak" gonna get Up! and Walk Away!! Hahahaha need to be Cooked" Good Job!
Always fun to go along with the two of you. Ellis Island will be in my to-do list next Las Vegas visit! Thanks Derek n Catherine 🃏♣️♦️♠️♥️🎲🎰🏵🌹🥀🌼🦋☕🌻😉😊😎💟💥💫🕶
What impressed me the most was the green beans - seemed to be perfectly cooked. And you guys didn't tape tasting that!
So glad you brought Catherine on board. She is lovely!

I love watching you! (EAT) ,LOL. You guys are so great together!!!!
Just ate there tonight and ordered the double cut King Prime Rib. It was amazingly good at medium well. It was quite tender. Now priced at $49.99.
GREAT menu! My fav is the prime rib (w/club card). There's a really good BBQ joint to the immediate right of the cafe!
The Steak Special looked amazing for the price! I enjoy a rare steak though and understand many people don’t. It definitely would have been a tough old boot if it was cooked to medium. Love your videos and the shared enjoyment of food you have Mr & Mrs All You Can Vegas!

A well done video. Thanks Derek & Catherine.
It's Awesome to SEE Ms. Katherine and hear her comment along with you!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I really enjoy your videos. Catherine is a great addition and describes tastes very well
Thanks for the Player's Club steak special information!
Enjoyed he upload and Ellis Island is a good place to while away a couple of hours and actually still close to the strip.
Pretty cool! Thanks for showing us this tip.
Always love Dereck's expressions the wife is bonus stage
I love that you share yr food. Everything looked great especially the fried chicken and all the sides that came with yr entrees.
Catherine has finally grew on me ! Youre a wonderful duo D, we love ya guys.
I love it that you finally sent something back, that was great to see, as that steak was way too rare for its thickness!
I am addicted to these videos!!
I love the Village Pub, so good. We've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. It's a nice place to eat when you're not trying to break the bank, good food, good service at a reasonable price. I'm like you when it comes to my steak, to me that steak was definately medium rare if blood is coming out. Medium has a lil pink left but no blood. Medium well cooked throughout but still some juice left. I dont do well done because it always ends up over cooked.
Imagine if you would have ordered medium rare. It would have barely been warm in the middle
Filet is always served on the rare side, any more done and it is a hocky puck wrapped in shoe leather. Due to the lack of fat and thickness oc the cut, same as most game meat such as elk, venison or bison
Ellis Island has great breakfasts and BBQ also. The rooms are clean and inexpensive. The craps crew are friendly. Great place, only a long block East of Ballys

Great video ! Love when you guys visit places with good* cheap food.
And that steak was definitely medium rare*** way too red.
Keep up the great work you two 😀
I’ve never been to Ellis Island so I really appreciate this video. Thanks !
