Hi David and Sonia … it is very nice to finally meet you guys in person. Thank you for including us on your video. Try to visit Northern California casino also. Bay Area will be waiting for you guys. ❤❤❤😊😊-Kathleen and Ivan
Hey, Kathleen and Ivan ❤️ We definitely want to try other casinos/resorts around the country and would love to check out Northern California one day! We may need your advice and restaurants to try too! Thank you both for saying hi at the Cosmo!
I went to Las Vegas on vacation with my family for around 3 days. I had so much fun, many memories that I would hold to me. I stayed at the Vdara hotel and it was amazing, great atmosphere and everything. Now that I’m back home in New York, I’m really sad 😭. The things I’d do to relive those moments. Felt like yesterday that I was relaxing in the room and exploring the strip
Dave & Sonya, Thank you so much for such great Content. There are a lot of Vloggers for Vegas, but you guys are def. my fav, never miss a video....Each video tells a story, and brings us to a new spot or place to eat, very fun. Love all your routines, cashew lattes, mimosas, and Sonya going to the Dry bar....so funny.....on rare occasions, its fun to see Sonya feeling good after a few cocktails....Your meal at Carbone, another great segment....keep the videos coming.....Steve S.
Steve, what an amazing comment. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know that you enjoy our content. It makes it all worth it! Cheers 🥂 🫶 And yes, go to Carbone if you haven’t yet! We hope to keep it up for as long as we can! And maybe Dave will let me quit my job 😜
I REALLY Enjoyed your video as always! Love Vdara! Long hair for Dave definitely, seems to enhance his fun personality and makes him look younger. Sonia ny husband likes collecting the little tickets people leave behind too!
Well worth the wait 4 your suite ❤❤ the views drinks look refreshing again cheers 🎉🎉🎉🎉 on your winnings and the food look tasty and delicious again sending love hugs support paw power 😊 short or long hair u carry it off nicely dave❤
Another fantabulous vlog, as always! Din Tai Fung...one of our faves! Try the chocolate buns next visit. OMG they are glorious...you won't be disappointed!
OMG you’re famous! Can I get a selfie with you guys?! I died laughing when Sonia showed her pennies floor Tito’s 😂. Beautiful room view! Glad you’re out of that death trap staircase room uninjured!
I gotta stop watching your vlogs while I’m hungry 😂 another round of delicious looking food. That corner suite looks magnificent! I had wondered about trying out the Vdara… hopefully the rest of the stay was splendid as well. Guess I’ll stay tuned to find out 😄
Definitely consider Vdara for a future trip. The size of the room and the connecting walkway to Bellagio and Cosmo is a game changer! With Aria right around the corner it’s like having 3 casinos in one!
@@DaverrasonTravels Huzzah!! All great selling points. That area has always been kind of special/magical 🤷♂️ I feel anyway lol. Just good vibes and I usually have better luck with quality “free” drinks around there. 😅 so having a close by room sounds like a win 👍
Those mimosas were the crispiest! 🥂 We are Team Long Hair, but Dave looks great both long and short obviously 😂. Din Tai Fung is always a favourite - this was such a great video, we loved watching. Thank you for sharing 💕❤️
Team long hair! I'm guessing the showgirls that wanted a pic with him also love his long locks! Probably not a look for a middle age guy, but Sonia may be a little wee bit jealous :o) of his good looks! Looking forward to the next vid! Peace, out,....forgot to say, you should blur out the faces of the people you inadvertently video while you're playing slots-- that's the primary reason casinos don't let vloggers film; everyone is entitled to their privacy in a casino and you guys just violated someone's privacy.....just saying, you guys should know and do better than that :o)
Hello Dave and Sonya! 11 Pools and 11 sunburns! Awesome, lets do this! And a break for Mimosas! (or straight up Sparkling wine LOL). Dave is a great bartender. Hello Vdara! or not. Maybe In a few more hours...Remember when you used the be able to talk to a real person, check in at noontime and not have to pay an extra charge? Remember when the computers always worked as well? Those were fun times. The Chicken Parm Sandwich looked legit at Proper Eats and who doesn't like truffle fries? Truffle fries' rule. Why does Willy have Pickles in his Backpack? Does he normally do this kinda thing? You guys were probably downstairs at Excalibur while we were upstairs unpacking LOL! We arrived on the night of the 4th...by the time we got there they thankfully had the computers back up and running. I would love the Muto at the Ski Lodge. My kind of drink. Very nice Vdara suite. One of these days we will have to stay there. Beautiful views for sure. Tik Tack Toe at Aria looked great. I love Pork Bao Buns, another place to add to my list for sure. Nice of Dave to cut his hair for me...he obviously knows what I like. Thanks for another great vlog! Loved it.
Hey, Andy! I only got in a couple of the pools and didn’t make it to all 11! Lol! You guys definitely need to try Vdara on a future trip, having a washer and dryer in the room allowed is to wash clothes before we left so one less thing to do before we got home - they even provide the soap and dryer sheets! Parm was a nice surprise too! And, yes, Willie had pickles in his backpack. There were a bunch of other snacks he had in there too! Lol! Also, I cut my hair just for you Andy!
You guys have some good content! I love watching your videos from the slot play to the restaurants and love the honesty when something is Nasty 🤣 Heading to Vegas On Thursday and I’m definitely getting some French Toast 😉
We hope you have a blast in Vegas! Thank you so much for the kind words too❤️! The french toast from Bardot at Aria is amazing, and definitely shareable!
Hey guys … we were in vegas the week before you also stayed a VDARA for the first time. Our room was one floor right above 53006…awesome view. We love vegas also and go often hope to see you there someday.
Another great vlog, guys. Din Tai Fung is one of our favorites. We have not made it the last couple trips. Will be going for our August trip. Sorry Sonia, long hair for Dave.
Another fun day with you guys! Tough transition to Vdara but I good news drinks are always flowing and that can help out in the meantime. Next trip you're both gonna have to wear fake moustaches so you don't get recognized so much or have a body guard 😜. Very cool to have that happen as your fan base is increasing so quickly as evident in your 5K subs so congrats on that accomplishment once again! Good once again was great and those chocolate dumplings looked amazing! We will be looking forward to the next one 😀👊
Hey C&A! Lol, it’s still crazy to us getting recognized in Vegas! Have you guys bot been to Din Tai Fung yet? If not, definitely add it to the list - so worth it!
You have to go back to the Venetian because I think you missed the pool at the Venezia tower lol. Venetian/Palazzo is one of my favorite places to stay. Will be there in July for my daughter's 21st bday!! Always enjoy your Vlogs!!
@@lillianliber1798 any guest is allowed to use it (unless they have changed that rule in the last year since I have been there). It's just kind of far if you are staying on the palazzo side.
Hi D&S - the pools are a great way to get some R&R from the casino hustle & bustle. Annoying about the MGM computer snaffu. Park MGM bonus 🤬 Vdara's room view is the bomb. We gotta try Din Tai Fun one of these days - the chocolate dim sum has gotten such wonderful reviews. #DavidShortHair 😆 Great vlog guys, Cheers!!!!!😎🍻
Hey, guys! Pool days definitely help recover from the casino craziness! DTF is fantastic and everything we’ve tried has been stellar - add it to your list!
Hey both, another great vlog 👌the pool at Venetian looks awesome I’ve got to stay there at some point. Parm is on the list for a quick lunch in October as that looked great. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🏻😎🐷
Hi guys. Sorry to hear that you guys had to go through delays with check in at the Vdara. We had similar issues waiting for our room on day of checking in as well. Nonetheless the view from our suite was spectacular. Crazy to know we were on the same floor. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Looking forward to your next episodes. So much fun watching you both. Thank you for another great vlog!😊
Hey, Violet! ❤️ It was so awesome bumping into you guys too! Yes, the views definitely make up for those check-in issues! Next time we’re in Vegas together we have to grab a drink with y’all!
As a White Russian convert, that Snowstorm looked bloody wonderful - must check out the Ski Lodge! So cool to see an Airplane slot still kicking about 🎰. Hope the gambling gets better for you guys 👍🏼
Shocking that mgm was having technical difficulties 😂 Both rooms looked fantastic, love the view at Vdara. Thats quite recommendation for Din Tai Fung, we def have to give it a try. I love that they had a band at Clique, never saw live music there before! I think im in the minority but im team #longhair, if you can do it, you gotta 🤘
Yes, you guys will love Din Tai Fung! The very first time we stayed at the Cosmo (a long time ago) they had a live band performing at the chandelier bar. It was on the first level of the bar and there was a small stage set up right above the bar - so if you were playing at a bartop, the action was right in front of you! We fell in love with the Cosmo at that moment.
Great video as always guys. We were in Vegas on June 9-19 at the Tuscany suites. We love Tuscany. It was so hot in Vegas. Have a wonderful time. Take care. Helena
Team short hair.🤜🤛 And it's not like it's really short. Great vlog, guys! DTF is a must for each trip. Quality, freshness, and value. But why did you eat out? Sonia could have cooked dinner with that kitchen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding.
Last Sept the wife and I went from Bellagio to Wynn to Horseshoe to Cosmo. We really didn’t wanna leave The Wynn. Did it for comp reasons lol. It was a good experience to get a feel for the different hotels, but kind of annoying to move around so much lol. Luckily we had a car and mostly free parking. I think if it’s not just one hotel it will be two max per stay. Depending on how many days we stay. Glad to see you guys got to go back so soon. Went four times last yr and only once (so far lol) this year for the tier matching (that was me who dm’d you guys about the pistachio martini lol). Trying for August, maybe Nov, and possibly NYE again lol. Loving the videos of course. Keep up the good work! Congrats on the 5.2k subs!
Yes, moving around too much can be a hassle. But we do like staying at one end of the strip then moving to the other end for a few days. We dont plan on going back until November! We have already been 3 times! 😆 But we just can’t stay away! Lol Thanks for following along with us! ❤️
Din Tai Fung is one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas too. I’ve never found a better Pork Xao Long Bao anywhere. And 100% on the chocolate dumplings. Maybe we should have lunch there together in November. Awesome vlog as always 😊
Another great video guys! Dave's haircut ..I have to say I like it longer but he is handsome either way. Dave remember happy wife..Sonya likes it short so her opinion is the one that matters.❤❤❤
FYI Champagne IS sparkling wine. However, for sparkling wine to be called champagne it has to be produced in the champagne region of France. So sometimes sparkling wine can be nicer than champagne. ❤🥂🍾❤
Willie w/his backpack of goodies is doing it right! I had to rewatch it to see if I heard pickles correctly! Lol. I am Team Short Hair! But whatever makes u feel most comfortable is the winner. Is it just me, or is Huff & Puff super hard to win on?? It just takes and takes!
The ‘backpack-o-fun’ definitely fueled some snack cravings! Lol! Yes, Huff and More Puff is so volatile! We did have some good sessions on it, but in the end it always wins!
Super bummer that Shalom Y'all is gone from Proper Eats! You guys will just have to head out here to Oregon for the full Shalom Y'all experience! Their full restaurant is AWESOME!
Lol! It might make a comeback..just saying! ❤️ I can only imagine a Shalom Y’all full-service restaurant! Instanbul Mediterranean in the Grand Bazaar shops in front of the Horseshoe is a really good option if you guys haven’t tried it yet!
I'm looking forward to your next video after you spend the night and hit the Vdara pool. We stayed A VDARA in a regular fountain View room on the 48th floor for 6 nights last month over Memorial Day weekend and the following week. Our Vdara room was very nice ( could use new carpets) but the blackout blinds didn't fully cover the windows so our room was bright enough to wake us up at 5:30 am the first day, after that we bought sleep masks to cover our eyes. I did the pre check in the day on the MGM app the before arrival and our room was ready at about 10am which was an hour before we landed at LAS, I did not pay for early check in. We love pools in LV but Vdara pool was too crowded ( Memorial day weekend) to get a spot by the pool or even go in the pool.............also we learned the VDARA "death ray" is real as it was about 90 degrees outside and felt like 120 in the pool area as the sun reflected off the glass in buildings surrounding the pool area. Combined with not being able to sit by the pool we had one drink and left and since it was hotter the rest of the week it was our only pool time at VDARA We had 2 comped Versailles pool /strip view rooms which we booked for our kids so we did a LOT more walking than we wanted to as we used the Paris pool which was wonderful. Speaking of Paris, our kids rooms at the end of the hall towards the strip on the 65th floor had a closer view of the Fountains than we did at VDARA , it also looks like the balconies on the rooms in the Versailles tower overlooking the strip were near completion, we are hoping to upgrade to a balcony room as we have a Versailles pool/strip view booked for October. We made MGM Gold via the match but the VDARA resort fees posted daily ( and were taken off) and they are about $58 a day with tax, we only paid $42 for the room on 3 of our nights so RF's would have been more than the room if we had to pay them. Vdara is a perfect location if you are going to gamble at Aria/Cosmo/Bellagio. My wife LOVED drybar and booked again for October. You guys do Vegas pretty much exactly like we do, we actually also ate at Parm our first day.
Yeah. Agree that the Vdara pool is small and was crowded as well. We did like that the chairs had umbrellas and we didn’t have to pay extra. But we only stayed for a few hours. Nice pool, but definitely not our fave. And yes, Vdara is great for quick walk to Bellagio, Aria, and Cosmo, which is perfect for us! But the rooms do need a refresh. Dry Bar is the best! I hate doing my hair 😂 Thanks for following along with us! ❤️
I carried a watermelon drink is a Dirty Dancing reference. Quick Hit Blitz is my favorite game . I hit $1000 on one $4 spin when I was walking through Park. Congrats on 5k … Great video!
I gotta say MGM’s portfolio of resorts is far and away better than Caesars in Vegas. However, with the hack and all the “systems issues” they have is quite troubling.
Now Dave’s hair…as a balding male, I will say just enjoy your hair at whatever length LOL. Father Time started cutting mine about 2 years ago when I was 35 so I wish I could debate long or short hair 🤣
Hey Josh Ray! We drink lots of water and electrolytes in Vegas. lol When we were young, we used to have bad hangovers but have gotten smarter with age! 😜 We also start early and if you notice, we don’t drink much in the late evenings and into the night. This is so we can feel good in the morning and start it all over again! 😂
So glad you posted this, will be at Venetian in July. Glad to know there is shade for the heat! Are the chairs with umbrellas free? Also the beds in the middle of the pool?When you buy cocktails at the pool do you collect points on your rewards card? (Park MGM did)
Hey, Lillian! I believe you have to pay for the spots with umbrellas, but don’t recall the price. Make sure to charge everything to your room so you get reward points - if you forget be sure to ask for the receipt and take that to the rewards desk and they will add the points!
Hi Y’All once again- Great vlog as always Dave & Sonia 🤩 Did the Venetian upgrade their pool ? Cuz it looks different since the last time I was there. As well, I had no idea you could walk over to Palazzo pool from the Venetian & vs versa . This must be something new or I’m an idiot 😝. Fun Fact : As a Chef I’ve had the privilege to drink expensive champagnes, ( like Dom Pérignon Rosé for example) and unfortunately champagne is like Nitroglycerin to me ; nevertheless I pour half a glass of orange juice before it has a more manageable taste . Of course the maître d'hôtel, (head waiter ) cries when I do this 😝 So a strong orange Mimosas is my to-go morning drink in Vegas. I too have done the Venetian Ride Share ( Uber) 😝. The chicken parmigiana looks so good (Must be the Italian in me 😝) , as does the Din Tai Fung entrees 😋 . The corner suite at Vdara rocks ! Never been ; gotta try it out . We hope to head to Vegas in August ; it depends on the flights here in Canada ; ton of strikes w/ Westjet & Air Canada, so a bunch of flights are being cancelled; fingers crossed they fix it before we leave… Thank you sharing- Cheers ! Chef Bari
Saw that you were walking outside to go from Bellagio to Cosmo -- did y'all know that they have an indoor walkway now? Bellagio to Cosmo and Bellagio to Aria.
Venetian to MGM properties.. movin on down in terms of service. We stayed at Cosmo during Father's Day weekend. Our 1bedrm Terrace room did not have fridge. MGM really downgrading their hotels.😢 😢
Oh man we’re sorry to hear that! Hopefully they compensated you guys while there for the inconvenience. Cosmo rooms are in need of a refresh, we’ll see how MGM handles it!
@@DaverrasonTravels Holy High Roller, MGM luvs u! BTW, I stayed at Palazzo last week. I think the room was pretty much identical to Venetian, including the stupid desk chair that rubs up against the curtains! p.s. Maybe it's a Texas thing but I don't think there is a "t" in Palazzo. 😇
@javamon lol! I think it’s a Texas thing because I always pronounce it with a “T” 😂😂 Love the rooms at the Palazzo/Venetian. And yeah, they are very similar!
Hey guys … we were in vegas the week before you also stayed a VDARA for the first time. Our room was one floor right above 53006…awesome view. We love vegas also and go often hope to see you there someday.

Hey, Sonya! Wow, the next floor up! The view from that room was AMAZING! Wasn’t sure how we would feel about a resort without a casino, but the walkway to Bellagio and Cosmo is a game changer!
Thanks for the Sink Shoutout !!!😂😂😂. That is theeeee Vdara room right there…. 🤘🤘. #StayCrispy 🥂🥂
Lol! Topo Chico all day! #AlwaysCrispy
The Vdara room was the highlight for me - fountains and the sphere ❤cheers to many more crisp mimosas 🥂🍀Can’t wait for day 3.
Thank you, Cathie ❤️! Yes, that room was fabulous! Cheers to CRISPY mimosas!
You guys are so good about sticking to your budget!! After a few drinks I dont care and end up leaving most trips with shame and regrets 😂
😂😂
Believe me….been there done that! lol
Thanks for such a fun vlog. Love your Vegas energy and enthusiasm! You guys ROCK!!!!!!!
Thank you, Eric! We appreciate you watching our adventures!
Cheers! ❤️🥂🎰🍀
Can’t tell you guys how excited I was to see you posted a video an hour ago! I adore yall!

Holy Crap! I didn't think there was still an Airplane! Slot still around. Nice find
Yes! Fun game! We like finding old school games. lol
I REALLY Enjoyed your video as always! Love Vdara!
Long hair for Dave definitely, seems to enhance his fun personality and makes him look younger. Sonia ny husband likes collecting the little tickets people leave behind too!
Thanks Patty! Dave will be happy that you are team long hair! lol
And I’m glad some else picks up those small tickets! 😂
I usually get a morning mimosa by the pool so decadent I love Las Vegas 💯
It’s the best!
Cheers guys 🍻 Thanks for sharing 🎉

made pistachio martinis at home last night....so easy and so good! thanks for finding them and the recipe.

I think im in the minority but im team #longhair, if you can do it, you gotta 🤘
Yes, you guys will love Din Tai Fung!
The very first time we stayed at the Cosmo (a long time ago) they had a live band performing at the chandelier bar. It was on the first level of the bar and there was a small stage set up right above the bar - so if you were playing at a bartop, the action was right in front of you! We fell in love with the Cosmo at that moment.
@@DaverrasonTravels that would have been soooo cool🤘
Great video as always guys. We were in Vegas on June 9-19 at the Tuscany suites. We love Tuscany. It was so hot in Vegas. Have a wonderful time. Take care. Helena
We have heard that Tuscany Suites is a great place to stay! Hope y’all had a great trip!
We had a wonderful time. Tuscany is beautiful. Thank you. Take care. Helena
Heading to Din Tai Fung for our 1st time in July for the wife's birthday... After seeing all these videos we might have to go twice! Cheers y'all!
You will love it! Enjoy and cheers! 🥂
Team short hair.🤜🤛 And it's not like it's really short. Great vlog, guys! DTF is a must for each trip. Quality, freshness, and value. But why did you eat out? Sonia could have cooked dinner with that kitchen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding.
Lol! Vdara was AMAZING! DTF is always a go to for us! Thanks Zeus!
Looks like team short hair is winning slightly. Lol
I've been to Din Tai Fang in LA and it's amazing!
Yes! Everything we’ve tried has been phenomenal! It is definitely worth a visit while in Vegas!
Last Sept the wife and I went from Bellagio to Wynn to Horseshoe to Cosmo. We really didn’t wanna leave The Wynn. Did it for comp reasons lol. It was a good experience to get a feel for the different hotels, but kind of annoying to move around so much lol. Luckily we had a car and mostly free parking. I think if it’s not just one hotel it will be two max per stay. Depending on how many days we stay. Glad to see you guys got to go back so soon. Went four times last yr and only once (so far lol) this year for the tier matching (that was me who dm’d you guys about the pistachio martini lol). Trying for August, maybe Nov, and possibly NYE again lol. Loving the videos of course. Keep up the good work! Congrats on the 5.2k subs!
Yes, moving around too much can be a hassle. But we do like staying at one end of the strip then moving to the other end for a few days. We dont plan on going back until November! We have already been 3 times! 😆
But we just can’t stay away! Lol
Thanks for following along with us! ❤️
Din Tai Fung is one of my favorite restaurants in Vegas too. I’ve never found a better Pork Xao Long Bao anywhere. And 100% on the chocolate dumplings.
Maybe we should have lunch there together in November.
Awesome vlog as always 😊
Oh and BTW, Dave with shorter hair! (Sorry Dave lol)
Yes, we can eat there anytime! Looking forward to hanging out!
And so glad you like short hair Dave 😂
Another great video guys! Dave's haircut ..I have to say I like it longer but he is handsome either way. Dave remember happy wife..Sonya likes it short so her opinion is the one that matters.❤❤❤
Lol! Hey, Linda! You’re so right. Happy wife, safe from knife! 😂
FYI Champagne IS sparkling wine. However, for sparkling wine to be called champagne it has to be produced in the champagne region of France. So sometimes sparkling wine can be nicer than champagne.
❤🥂🍾❤
Yes! We learned that at total wine. lol
But agree that we have had some really good sparkling wines! We really like Prosecco too!
@@DaverrasonTravels Thanks, keep up the vlogs, definitely one of our favourites. Love to see Dave back on my favourite bubble craps. ❤️💰❤️
Another awesome vlog. I love how you guys make us feel like we’re hanging out with you for the day.
Oh and longer hair, just saying! 😬
Thank so much! ❤️
And Dave will love your answer about his hair! lol 🙃
Great Vlogs. David short hair all the way.😊
Lol! It may end up staying that way…maybe 🤔🤔
Love the Vidara!
Right!!! So much space and amenities!
Willie w/his backpack of goodies is doing it right! I had to rewatch it to see if I heard pickles correctly! Lol. I am Team Short Hair! But whatever makes u feel most comfortable is the winner. Is it just me, or is Huff & Puff super hard to win on?? It just takes and takes!
The ‘backpack-o-fun’ definitely fueled some snack cravings! Lol! Yes, Huff and More Puff is so volatile! We did have some good sessions on it, but in the end it always wins!
Sorry Dave….short hair for the handsome win.
lol! Thanks Jamie! Sonia definitely agrees 😆
You probably stayed at the Venetian/Palazzo at the exact same time as John Mayer/Bob Weir! I’m so jealous what a blast
How cool!
Dave looks very handsome long or short hair! And Sonya you are always beautiful! You two are the cutest couple ever! I love watching all your videos!
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate the support and love ❤️
Super bummer that Shalom Y'all is gone from Proper Eats! You guys will just have to head out here to Oregon for the full Shalom Y'all experience! Their full restaurant is AWESOME!
Also, Dave with long hair 😊
Lol! It might make a comeback..just saying! ❤️
I can only imagine a Shalom Y’all full-service restaurant! Instanbul Mediterranean in the Grand Bazaar shops in front of the Horseshoe is a really good option if you guys haven’t tried it yet!
I 100% made a note of that when you guys went there before and talked about it. It is definitely on my radar for when that pita craving hits! 😋
Love your videos ❤
Thanks ❤️
15:22 Did the VP bar comp you those Mimosas at Park ? I like how they gave you each a split bottle to make your own
That was from the floor! The server brought us those 😊🥂
😂😂 I played that same Airplane slot at Cosmo and actually won a little. Cheers to you both.
Lol! I SO WANT that Airplane bonus! Sonia couldn’t care less..lol!
Short hair for sure!!!! Love your videos!
Thanks Kimberly! And I agree about the short hair ☺️ (Sonia)
I'm looking forward to your next video after you spend the night and hit the Vdara pool.
We stayed A VDARA in a regular fountain View room on the 48th floor for 6 nights last month over Memorial Day weekend and the following week.
Our Vdara room was very nice ( could use new carpets) but the blackout blinds didn't fully cover the windows so our room was bright enough to wake us up at 5:30 am the first day, after that we bought sleep masks to cover our eyes.
I did the pre check in the day on the MGM app the before arrival and our room was ready at about 10am which was an hour before we landed at LAS, I did not pay for early check in.
We love pools in LV but Vdara pool was too crowded ( Memorial day weekend) to get a spot by the pool or even go in the pool.............also we learned the VDARA "death ray" is real as it was about 90 degrees outside and felt like 120 in the pool area as the sun reflected off the glass in buildings surrounding the pool area.
Combined with not being able to sit by the pool we had one drink and left and since it was hotter the rest of the week it was our only pool time at VDARA
We had 2 comped Versailles pool /strip view rooms which we booked for our kids so we did a LOT more walking than we wanted to as we used the Paris pool which was wonderful.
Speaking of Paris, our kids rooms at the end of the hall towards the strip on the 65th floor had a closer view of the Fountains than we did at VDARA , it also looks like the balconies on the rooms in the Versailles tower overlooking the strip were near completion, we are hoping to upgrade to a balcony room as we have a Versailles pool/strip view booked for October.
We made MGM Gold via the match but the VDARA resort fees posted daily ( and were taken off) and they are about $58 a day with tax, we only paid $42 for the room on 3 of our nights so RF's would have been more than the room if we had to pay them.
Vdara is a perfect location if you are going to gamble at Aria/Cosmo/Bellagio.
My wife LOVED drybar and booked again for October.
You guys do Vegas pretty much exactly like we do, we actually also ate at Parm our first day.
Yeah. Agree that the Vdara pool is small and was crowded as well. We did like that the chairs had umbrellas and we didn’t have to pay extra. But we only stayed for a few hours. Nice pool, but definitely not our fave.
And yes, Vdara is great for quick walk to Bellagio, Aria, and Cosmo, which is perfect for us! But the rooms do need a refresh.
Dry Bar is the best! I hate doing my hair 😂
Thanks for following along with us! ❤️
@@DaverrasonTravels Did the blackout blinds in your Vdara room black out the room ? Ours let light in on both sides of every blind
I carried a watermelon drink is a Dirty Dancing reference.
Quick Hit Blitz is my favorite game . I hit $1000 on one $4 spin when I was walking through Park.
Congrats on 5k … Great video!
Lol! Thats too funny! So..spoiler alert..we might have hit a handpay on the same machine at the cosmo!
@@DaverrasonTravels I’m totally not jealous. Can’t wait to see it.
Can't believe you didn't see you guys, we were at Vdara Room #57001 at the same time, too bad, next time!
No way! Vdara was definitely the place to be that week 😂. Hope you had some luck!
I gotta say MGM’s portfolio of resorts is far and away better than Caesars in Vegas. However, with the hack and all the “systems issues” they have is quite troubling.
Agreed! We hope they figure it out!
Now Dave’s hair…as a balding male, I will say just enjoy your hair at whatever length LOL.
Father Time started cutting mine about 2 years ago when I was 35 so I wish I could debate long or short hair 🤣
😂
Need some Speedo modeling by the pool, Dave
Lol! Stayed tuned for the Spring 2025 calendar next year! 💪🩳🌴
Short hair! Fantastic video as always
Thanks Jake! Team short hair! 🤘
Long hair!
Lol! Sonia loves long hair!!! 🙃
Dave with short hair!
Thanks! 😊
David - SHORT HAIR .
100 % short hair . Please yes and forever.
😆👍🏻
I wasn't calling you out! Just trying to help 😢 but anyway Sonya gets it.....Dave you still need work 😂 love you guys
Lol! The 10 screens of hats? They come too fast for me to count!! One day I’ll get it 😂
Love the vlog. Do you ever get hangovers mixing all different drinks? I think I would die I have to stick to one thing not to get a hangover..
Hey Josh Ray! We drink lots of water and electrolytes in Vegas. lol
When we were young, we used to have bad hangovers but have gotten smarter with age! 😜
We also start early and if you notice, we don’t drink much in the late evenings and into the night. This is so we can feel good in the morning and start it all over again! 😂
So glad you posted this, will be at Venetian in July. Glad to know there is shade for the heat! Are the chairs with umbrellas free? Also the beds in the middle of the pool?When you buy cocktails at the pool do you collect points on your rewards card? (Park MGM did)
Hey, Lillian! I believe you have to pay for the spots with umbrellas, but don’t recall the price. Make sure to charge everything to your room so you get reward points - if you forget be sure to ask for the receipt and take that to the rewards desk and they will add the points!
Hi Y’All once again- Great vlog as always Dave & Sonia 🤩 Did the Venetian upgrade their pool ? Cuz it looks different since the last time I was there. As well, I had no idea you could walk over to Palazzo pool from the Venetian & vs versa . This must be something new or I’m an idiot 😝. Fun Fact : As a Chef I’ve had the privilege to drink expensive champagnes, ( like Dom Pérignon Rosé for example) and unfortunately champagne is like Nitroglycerin to me ; nevertheless I pour half a glass of orange juice before it has a more manageable taste . Of course the maître d'hôtel, (head waiter ) cries when I do this 😝 So a strong orange Mimosas is my to-go morning drink in Vegas. I too have done the Venetian Ride Share ( Uber) 😝. The chicken parmigiana looks so good (Must be the Italian in me 😝) , as does the Din Tai Fung entrees 😋 . The corner suite at Vdara rocks ! Never been ; gotta try it out . We hope to head to Vegas in August ; it depends on the flights here in Canada ; ton of strikes w/ Westjet & Air Canada, so a bunch of flights are being cancelled; fingers crossed they fix it before we leave… Thank you sharing- Cheers ! Chef Bari
Hey Chef! Yes, you definitely have to try out the Vdara, that view 🔥🔥
Thanks for the love ❤️
Saw that you were walking outside to go from Bellagio to Cosmo -- did y'all know that they have an indoor walkway now? Bellagio to Cosmo and Bellagio to Aria.
Oh, I see you already found it LOL! I vote for the short hair.
I agree! Lol (Sonia)
We love the outside walkway too! 😉
Venetian to MGM properties.. movin on down in terms of service. We stayed at Cosmo during Father's Day weekend. Our 1bedrm Terrace room did not have fridge. MGM really downgrading their hotels.😢 😢
Oh man we’re sorry to hear that! Hopefully they compensated you guys while there for the inconvenience. Cosmo rooms are in need of a refresh, we’ll see how MGM handles it!
Short hair looks good, he gots nice wavy hair and it looks good short..looking good David..👍
Thanks! 😊
I know people say their pools are heated but when you walk into this pool is it warm or is it cold? Thank you so much! 😊❤ Investigating
The water felt cool at the Venetian. It was already getting hot outside, even that early, but I don’t think they were heated at that moment.
@@DaverrasonTravelsthank you for responding 😊❤ ice cold pools really ruin it for us
Enjoyed the video! Short hair
Thanks Nancy! Yes! Team short hair! lol
short hair, enjoy your videos
Yes! I agree (sonia) 🙃
Gah! Don't tell everyone about Vdara, it's one of my favs. You guys got a great room. Did you book that corner suite or get an upgrade?
We actually booked it like 6 months in advance when it was available as a comp room! So happy that we did because it was an amazing room! 😍
@@DaverrasonTravels Holy High Roller, MGM luvs u! BTW, I stayed at Palazzo last week. I think the room was pretty much identical to Venetian, including the stupid desk chair that rubs up against the curtains! p.s. Maybe it's a Texas thing but I don't think there is a "t" in Palazzo. 😇
@javamon lol! I think it’s a Texas thing because I always pronounce it with a “T” 😂😂
Love the rooms at the Palazzo/Venetian. And yeah, they are very similar!
@@DaverrasonTravels Palazzo means "Palace" in English. 😉
Thank god Dave cut his hair!
😂😂
When the eggs land in crazy chicken game it definitely says fuck.
Lol
David I LOVE your hair long or short. Woooooof. Boner city!
.
short hair
Yes! 🙌🏼
Short hair, maybe even a bit shorter!
Thanks Carol! Sonia agrees 😊
Another banger as usual. Woooooop!!!
Thank you so much❤️
Hey guys … we were in vegas the week before you also stayed a VDARA for the first time. Our room was one floor right above 53006…awesome view. We love vegas also and go often hope to see you there someday.

Hey, Sonya! Wow, the next floor up! The view from that room was AMAZING! Wasn’t sure how we would feel about a resort without a casino, but the walkway to Bellagio and Cosmo is a game changer!
