Thank you Jaycation. I’m Filipina, born and raise and truly I appreciate your vlogs! I learned a lot, that I will apply to my travel plans soon. THANK YOU for all the travel tips and ideas. God Bless. Excited to go home.❤️
There you go, Jay. Another place for you to blog just like Vegas but it's in Manila another home away from home. Your the new ambassador, welcome to your new home
I stayed very very near the Solaire Hotel Manila in a budget hotel called Hop Inn Hotel, Aseana City Manila. I slept at my hotel for $28/USD night but spent days enjoying the Solaire, City of Dreams and all the other fancy Las Vegas type hotels and all their amenities. Lol! There's a nice Ayala Mall Manila Bay nearby too. This was the 2nd out of 4 areas I hotel hop around while in Manila. Okada is next level excess and is beautifully decorated for the holidays which is mainly why I wanted to visit the property. They do offer a nice day package for using their pool along with a nice meal.
BGC is NYC of the Philippines, Boracay Hawaii of the Philippines and now we have Vegas of the Philippines too, wow! Next Palawan, Maldives of the Philippines.
Jay - thanks for all the awesome videos! I'm moving to Baguio in May, and spending my full first week in Manila for my birthday after I arrive! I was wondering what camera system are you using?
We were there in the Phil. From Feb. 17 to March 23, we didn’t even got the chance to tour around OKADA, thank you, thank you for Showing everything inside,outside OKADA, even little shot of inside casino, ITS HUGE, it’s beautiful, water show amazing, WOW, thank you👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍From California USA, between SF and Sacramento, Fairfield, CA. Northern CA.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Okada is our staycation resort and they usually have promotions. In Okada you only need to wear your hat backwards inside the casino unless you are playing poker. The only thing I don't like about the casinos here in Metro Manila is they don't have video poker machines, so I play Pai Gow when we go. Nice to see you enjoying your time here Jay.
Just read from Bloomberg, The Philippines can overtake Singapore as early as next year as Asia’s second-largest gambling destination after Macau if Singapore doesn’t expand
Don’t sweat it Jay, I had a ball cap on too when we visited Okaida casino, and I was told to turn my cap to the back. Ha! When I stepped out of the casino I turned it to the front with no more hassles. Maybe they are skeptical about American people of color 😂. Cool place though with great pastries, food places and shops. Randy’s Donuts were great!
@@Jaycation the reclamation projects in Manila Bay are multiple mini smart cities like City of Pearl, Horizon Manila, Waterfront City etc. the new Westside City is just a few steps away from Okada and the grand opening is in the last quarter of this year while Solaire North is located in Quezon City
Both are beautiful but agree, Okada seems to be the more welcoming place. Reminds me of a cross between Wynn/Encore and the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood. Almost forgot, the Calvin Klein line is from Back to the Future.
Wow, those places look nice. I would have totally believed you if you said they were new hotels in Vegas 😆 think everyone has probably said by now 'back to the future' 😂
Jay, nice video! Film restrictions and phone use inside the casino is due to off-shore gaming issues, primarily with mainland China. Okada was an original partner in Wynn/Encore; same architect.
Jay... no place can beat Vegas when come to casinos and buffets... Macao came close but no cigar . I will be going to Vegas to watch the NCAA basketball tourney there next week. If I bump into Norma will say hello for you!
Jay another awesome vlog. Okada is Vegas like huh?! Can't wait for you to stay there and give us a room review along with a restaurant reviewB safe and safe travels too South Korea
WOW, that is a tough prohibition list. Im ex-miltary in my country. There would be a massive uproar to stop people who defend your country from some of it's entertainment.
Awesome work Jay 😎 i just subscribed to your youtube channel love to vacation in Philippines and enjoy those resorts hotels and casinos best of travels thank you 🌎✨
Doesn't make sense. It's so hot in PH!. Are you able to wear tsinelas atleast? Prolly not. I saw peeps wearing shorts is that allowed? I don't remember
Shorts is fine just shoulders showing for men not allowed. Maybe cuz theyre afraid of kili kili hair falling into food? lol! Women can wear skimpy dresses but we cant wear tanks… where is the consistency in that?! 🤣
In this case, the purpose of wearing your hat backwards is actually for facial recognition as they have cctv's & cameras all over the premises for security purposes! That's why Jay was asked to wear his hat backwards when he entered Solaire!
@@jesscastillo3691 I can't answer for them but the security personnel usually only ask the guests to wear their hats backwards at the entrance because they have a security camera there and they want the security cameras to capture the face of the guest without any obstruction before the individual totally gets inside the hotel and casino premises.
Get the hell out of here,😆😆😆😆 you mean to tell me that they have casino's like this in the Philippines and I knew about them some time ago but to this magnitude are you kidding me 😮😮😮😮I know one thing for sure I'm coming back to the Philippines now, you've better believe it man.😋😋😋😋 My last trip I did Jay to this country sucked big time,😕😕😕 like I told you before but now thanks to you I'm heading back and I'm going to drag my dad with me and he's been to the Philippines lot's of times, and in case you want to know Kazuo Okada used to be a business partner of Steve Wynn but they got into a fight over money and controlling interest's and parted ways and us knowing Steve and who he is today I don't blame Okada.😉😉😉😉 So that's why his hotel in Manila looks a lot like the Wynn and Bellagio and by the way the hotels in Las Vegas except for a few couldn't hold a candle stick to these properties Jay your awesome for showing these places we'll catch you on the next one brother.😋😋😋😋 P.S. Another tid bit of information Kazuo Okada was the chief financial backer of the Wynn and encore properties in Las Vegas when they were being built because Steve Wynn couldn't do it on his own
Yeah, please don’t compare those to Las Vegas. I have been. The food is no where close and the vibe isnot even in the same universe. Also it’s called the Las Vegas strip. There is no strip there, just casino by themselves.
At least, the casinos in Manila are not leaking water when it rains unlike some casinos in Vegas where there are always leaks in the roof and the tables and machines always get soaked everytime it rains in Las Vegas. It was just terrible, lol!🤭
Thank you Jaycation. I’m Filipina, born and raise and truly I appreciate your vlogs! I learned a lot, that I will apply to my travel plans soon. THANK YOU for all the travel tips and ideas. God Bless. Excited to go home.❤️
Okada is awesome. Wishing this particular video will hit million views especially sa mga pinoys around the world. Mabuhay .
11,161 views as of now.
Gorgeous property! Definitely reminds me of LV. Feels like the DNA of several Vegas resorts were spliced together in a lab to create this spot!
haha yeah! Okada was nice
How amazing these hotels/casinos exist in the Philippines! They are awesome! Thank you for your video Jaycation! Love it!
salamat
There you go, Jay. Another place for you to blog just like Vegas but it's in Manila another home away from home. Your the new ambassador, welcome to your new home
thnx
You're welcome, bro
Hi Jaycation! My answer: Back to the Future. So many similarities with Las Vegas. Really enjoying this Manila series! 😃😎
Yup. Mrs. Mcfly!! haha thanks!
Bellagio, Wynn and Caesars Palace all in one!

its definitely a nice area!
BGC is NYC of the Philippines, Boracay Hawaii of the Philippines and now we have Vegas of the Philippines too, wow! Next Palawan, Maldives of the Philippines.
Turning your cap backwards is the hip and cool look, but it could also be to help security identify you if needed.
i get it but also tell the other 2 fellas with their hats forward that i saw.. be consistent. lol
Jay - thanks for all the awesome videos! I'm moving to Baguio in May, and spending my full first week in Manila for my birthday after I arrive! I was wondering what camera system are you using?
Marty, we have to go back! To the Future!! 🙂 Great Scott!! 🙂

nice! yeah okada seems more relaxed

Back to the future. Texas Roadhouse is the best. Knowing me I would be eating there.😂
Don’t sweat it Jay, I had a ball cap on too when we visited Okaida casino, and I was told to turn my cap to the back. Ha!

they are so i give them crap about it. i saw a guy with his hat forwards but he was in a wheelchair so they probably left him alone lol
It really does look like Las Vegas
Looks great!!! Thanks, dawg. I’m at the Ritz Carlton Chicago. Amazing 😮
while in philippines jay, try and get some massage, they do have some nice masseuse all over manila.
Thanks .. this helps a lot. With our next trip from here in Vegas to The Philippines.
I have yet to go to Las Vegas. I have been to the Philippines.
It is definitely ! The Lasvegasstrip of the Phillippines !!! Beautiful !
turning your cap to the back is for security purposes. you can be identified in cctvs if needed
im just saying if theyre going to do that be consistent with it i saw 2 guys wearing their hat forwards after they told me. its BS lol
he saw people wearing hat forwards Solaire is not consistent
Great Vlog... Keep it up, Jaycation! :)
FYI, 2 more luxury casino resorts are opening soon in Metro Manila- Westside City Resorts World and Solaire North! ❤🇵🇭💥
i see them trying to reclaim land in the bay... crazy
@@Jaycation the reclamation projects in Manila Bay are multiple mini smart cities like City of Pearl, Horizon Manila, Waterfront City etc. the new Westside City is just a few steps away from Okada and the grand opening is in the last quarter of this year while Solaire North is located in Quezon City
What’s up Jay … it really sucks the casinos there in Philippines are very strict on dress code and other misc things.
yup i agree
It’s absolutely beautiful, thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching! A more in depth Okada video is coming soon
Okada looks awesome. Taeguki Korean BBQ in San Diego looks like good times!
it is great!
Both are beautiful but agree, Okada seems to be the more welcoming place. Reminds me of a cross between Wynn/Encore and the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood.
Almost forgot, the Calvin Klein line is from Back to the Future.
there's smoking area awesome! here in Vegas I smoke everywhere, nice video thanks.
Thats from back to the future bud😅the first one I believe.
NICE !!!!!
OKADA IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL🤩🤩🤩
loved Okada
Thanks Such beautiful resorts/casinos. I think I liked the 2nd one a bit better.
2nd one by far
Wow, those places look nice. I would have totally believed you if you said they were new hotels in Vegas 😆 think everyone has probably said by now 'back to the future' 😂
Jay, nice video! Film restrictions and phone use inside the casino is due to off-shore gaming issues, primarily with mainland China. Okada was an original partner in Wynn/Encore; same architect.
i can totally see the wynn resemblance!
It does! Looks great Jay
Okada is great!
Jay... no place can beat Vegas when come to casinos and buffets... Macao came close but no cigar . I will be going to Vegas to watch the NCAA basketball tourney there next week. If I bump into Norma will say hello for you!
vegas is vegas cant compare! haha
Jay another awesome vlog. Okada is Vegas like huh?! Can't wait for you to stay there and give us a room review along with a restaurant reviewB safe and safe travels too South Korea
Okada has a big time Wynn Las Vegas vibe. Great vid! Keep them coming! Safe travels Jcay!
it really doe3s!
Mommy G would be proud you checked for a lions churro. 😂
Looks like their all snipped here LOL
Hat backwards thing is for facial recognition
Wow they are very strick that's crazy
Okada buffet is way better than some famous buffet in LV. And Solaire is good also 👍
if i had an appetite i wouldve gone!
If you sign up for their rewards card, you can get FREE shuttle service to BGC. Pick up/drop off is at SM Aura😊
this is the perfect tip! thanks!!
@@Jaycation yw!
Wow great casino
okada was!
WOW, that is a tough prohibition list. Im ex-miltary in my country. There would be a massive uproar to stop people who defend your country from some of it's entertainment.
I totally agree!

Great way to keep the Money in manila..mahalo Jay

Great content
Thanks!
Sorry I'm late to the party! Do any of those casinos have poker rooms? ♣♦❤♠
I'm pretty sure they just took the carpeting from Wynn/Encore and installed it in their casino :D :D LOLO

You will find different Ube Hopia. Eng bee tin, Holland or Polland

Okada Manila 🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥
So nice!!
Jay u skip city of dreams manila, and soon resorts world bayshore will rock entertainment city hehe
cant do them all in a day haha
@@Jaycation hehe its ok, just take ur time. Enjoy while ur here PH. 👏💪👍😀
Okada is definitely better. You checking out Divisoria and 999?
I’m familiar with Okada. Not familiar with Divisora and 999. And 999 kinda has me thinking of what is to come.
Oh. They’re actually not casinos. They’re shopping districts I thought he should check out.
okada ftw
whats 999
need bodyguards at divisoria haha
Probably should have dressed like Bruno mars then RIZZ all the baddie employees 🤵🏻
Doesn't make sense. It's so hot in PH!. Are you able to wear tsinelas atleast? Prolly not. I saw peeps wearing shorts is that allowed? I don't remember
Shorts is fine just shoulders showing for men not allowed. Maybe cuz theyre afraid of kili kili hair falling into food? lol! Women can wear skimpy dresses but we cant wear tanks… where is the consistency in that?! 🤣
@Jaycation lmao!! Kili Kili Powers! Srslu wutabout sandals? I wear sandals all day in CA. I rly only wear shoes if I have to
First
Second

lorraine baines mcfly!
usually wearing ur hat backwards is more “disrespectful”, Ken Griffey Jr wore his hat backwards and alot of the old-timers didn’t like it
In this case, the purpose of wearing your hat backwards is actually for facial recognition as they have cctv's & cameras all over the premises for security purposes! That's why Jay was asked to wear his hat backwards when he entered Solaire!
@@rm_alfaro ok but why did other guys wear hats and no one said anything to them?
@@jesscastillo3691 I can't answer for them but the security personnel usually only ask the guests to wear their hats backwards at the entrance because they have a security camera there and they want the security cameras to capture the face of the guest without any obstruction before the individual totally gets inside the hotel and casino premises.

How casino stay in business with it being half empty? Pacquiao needs to roll thru 👊😎
lol Pacquiao is famous but not like that anymore

High $$ 179 a nite 😂😂 yikes

ang arte nmn ng Solaire. Be consistent if u tell someone to wear hat backwards hndi maganda sa image nyo
