Totally, 💯 agree with your Sadelles rant!! Why make a reservation? Customer service should be better! Edited to add... Love Frenchie! Congrats on the handpay! Such a fun video!
Hey Alice! Yes, Frenchy is the best Yeah, the customer service at Sadelle’s surprised me. I really thought it would be better. Thanks again for the support!
Wow wow wow. Just finished the video and I'm so excited for you. 3 peat handpay. Congrats. And I agree about the Saddels reservations. That's just wrong. God Bless.
@MakeItHappenWithDon Still rocking my original white L/XL hat. If you get more on the site... I will buy them!!! It is hands down the best fitting hat I have ever had! I hope Heather is recovering well!! Happy Holidays to you guys! 🍻🎰
5:20 We have eaten at Sadelle's twice. Both times they were super busy but we just walked in the Gold line to the left showed them our players card , they confirmed our reservation and seated us once right away and the other time maybe 15 minutes
The gold line/reservation line was all the way out past most of the conservatory. So, we walked up to talked to the host and told her we had a reservation. She said that the entire line did too. She was not very friendly. Couldn’t tell me how long it would be but guessed like 40 min. But then she said, “but don’t hold me to that, because I don’t know.” Not sure if they are always like that, but they shouldn’t have reservations if they can’t sit you within 10-15 minutes. Then they should be a first come first serve basis 🤷♀️
@ yes, I heard you when you said they were from Kevin. So, maybe you can make a deal with him and start a website. Because you guys are a big deal now 😂not sure if you know it. But let’s get that website going. One of your biggest fans since day one! Let’s go!❤️❤️❤️
Holy shit!!!!!!! Great vlogs! Great wins! Great fun! Congrats on the 3 hand pays! Sooooo much fun to watch. You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing and bringing us along.
Eric!! Man! This was an amazing trip! Between meeting up with amazing people, trying new restaurants, and three handpays…it was epic! Thanks so much for hanging with us and commenting on our adventures! We appreciate you!!
Brilliant wow 3 handpays sonya's face priceless with the minor ball, love the treats you were given, thank u for sharing and also the restaurant reviews 😊😊😊
Sadelle’s breakfast is decent but it’s not worth waiting 45 minutes past your reservation time. I would have walked away too. So glad y’all like the Prosecco, it’s one of my favorites. Thanks for joining us on the bar crawl, we had a great afternoon with everyone. We met Stacie and Sylvie that night, they were so lovely. Congrats on the Haul of Handpays 🤑🤑🤑 We absolutely loved spending time with y’all and love you too, and can’t wait to do it all again very soon ❤❤
I am a day late, but I would never miss a vlog. And what a vlog it was! Congratulations on the three jackpot! So well deserved. Thanks once again for sharing your trip! They are always so, so enjoyable. Merry Christmas to you guys and Aiden. 🎅
Delicious drinks from the Frenchie 🪄, Keno Handpay and 💃🏽 🥁’s YES YES- Aria is the place to be….Mr wolfie upgrade 🍀, and the minor SMACK 🔵, congrats guys. As always thanks for the good time.🍀🥂
Missing that Sadelle's reservation put everything in motion for you to get that first hand pay, Dave...and then it all fell into place thereafter! Great vlog! Look forward to the next one! Happy Holidays, y'all!
That was awesome! Sorry Sadelles was a bust. The bar crawl was fun! Hand pay Dave! Awesome hit at Gem bar. If you love Mediterranean food, I have a recommendation 😊 that last handpay was on the same Golden Century I hit the major for $6500 on! So nice to have met you both! Hope you’re back in Vegas soon! We just booked for my birthday in Feb. 🎉
Way to go! THREE. HAND. PAYS?!?!? Great vlog as always and congrats on the payouts! Even though we missed connecting by just two days, your videos made us feel like we were right there with you. Enjoy your holidays and can’t wait to see your next group of vlogs and/or run in to y’all in Vegas soon. 🎉
Hey, A&V!! We hope you guys had some luck on your trip too! There will definitely be a time we are all in Vegas together! ❤️ Yes, we hope you all enjoy the Holidays too and welcome in the new year! Cheers, guys!!!
Now that’s a way to end the trip! Congrats! Last time I dined at Sadelle’s was a weekend and no issues with the reservation or line up. The breakfasts at Primrose are much better in my opinion.
Thank you, Lisa! ❤️ There are a lot of comments suggesting Sadelle’s was just okay and other places are better. Not sure if we’ll put more effort into it going forward..
I like the food at Sadelles, but have also found the service lacking. Fortunately, I never had the kind of problem you had even with a reservation. Henry’s at Cosmo and Salt & Ivy at Aria are good breakfast places.
Sometimes finding somewhere to eat is the biggest challenge in Vegas. I always find myself walking up and down Linq Promenade trying to decide on a spot.
Yes! So true Travis! Which is why we try to make reservations for most of our dinners or some breakfasts. Usually works out fine. Just not Sadelle’s 🤷♀️
Hack that works for us at Sadelle's. Walk in alone and ask to sit at the bar. Wife walks in few minutes later and asks to sit at the bar 9/10 times we sit together or move around. It's like the Single Rider Line at Disneyland. :) Works most of the time. Table service is so slow anyway we prefer to sit at the bar. Steak and Eggs at Sadelle's is worth they wait. LOVE IT!!
That's a really good tip! Will have to try that! (Love the reference to Disney ☺️) Hearing that Sadelle's is overpriced and not worth the hype, but I'm sure it's busy for a reason.....Steak and Eggs - noted!
I love this video - I have been binge watching and my wife and I relate to your routines. Love the handpays! Am booked for guys golf trip next week and with the wife in February. when is your next trip?
Somebody was getting hangry. Lol. Eaten at sadelles a couple times. Same thing. Both times just ended up sitting at the bar instead of waiting for my reservation. It was good. Above average, but not earth shattering. Since you made it to eataly you can get the best quick option breakfast there. You order at lavazzo pick it up at the chefs table. One of the best breakfast sandwiches anywhere. Brioche bun, heirloom tomatoes, provolone picante cheese, heritage farms bacon or prosciutto, over easy egg. Good coffee and you can get little sweet treats too! One of the best sit down breakfast/brunches I've had is at bardot brasserie in Aria. I think its just fri-sun, but everything was awesome and they sat us at our reservation time. :-)
Also, I am glad you said, wait until Frenchie is there because I went to try the famous Pistachio Martini and was told Frenchie was on vacation and the other bartender was saying, Frenchie should not be making those and basically hating. But I love a great bartender and when I go again I will ask for Frenchie. Thank you guys for telling about all the good things in Vegas!!❤❤❤
@@DaverrasonTravels Don’t be sorry, I work in the hospitality industry in Los Angeles and the bartender who was there needs to be sorry. Also, my husband is a sous chef in a very popular restaurant in Los Angeles and he was disappointed in that bartender. We love 💕 you guys so much!
Yea, it was definitely disappointing at Sadelle’s. Not sure we’ll make more of an effort to try it going forward. Appreciate the heads up on Bouchon for Brunch! We’ll have to look into it now!
What a day!!! 3 hand pays, Sonia is definitely the slot whisperer. Oh Sadelle’s…what on earth is the point of a reservation then? I would have been fired up after their response😅. When you panned to the $39 tiny chicken skewers at Greek Sneak, I said “they better be good for that price”😅. We actually had this place in mind for our next trip, and after hearing about it, it’s definitely off the table now (thank you 🙌🏻). What an awesome final day and fun trip overall, thank you for sharing 🍀🍀🍀 PS: the coasters were awesome 🤩
Hey guys! Thanks so much! Yeah, we were disappointed with Greek Sneek and we have heard good things. I wonder if it went through a change in management and/or location, because the picture on the website looked different. And now it's combined with Crush. So the kitchen is the same for both places. maybe it was a "off" night, but it was not good. Go get a pita wrap from Istanbul Mediterranean! Hope you have a blast on your upcoming trip and win big!
It was such a memorable trip! Between meeting everyone, trying new restaurants, and capping of the adventure with 3 handpays was amazing! You will definitely join the club soon! It WILL happen! 🫶🫶
100% that is how Mon Ami Gabi is, what's the point of making a reservation! We are here for Keno Christmas @Palms Saturday nite. Rodeo was Friday nite it was fantastic. Hey Sonja chatted with Keno Kandi she showed me you twos tik tok....winning in Vegas. Cant wait to meet you two!
Loved the video again! Congrats on your first minor, Sonia!! As far as Sadelle's is concerned, Sadelle's has not been worth the price in our experience. We've had terrible service there. Blueberry pancakes meant regular pancakes and throw on 7 blueberries on top for $7 extra dollars. So crazy. Food was mediocre. That attitude would have made me cancel the reservation also.
When that Minor fell we had to do a double take when we saw the amount! Lol! We don’t normally bet that amount! The feedback we received from Sadelle’s seems to be similar - okay food that is expensive with less than stellar service.
We're seeing a lot of comments saying the same thing about it too! Guess we're not missing anything with this one! Appreciate the congrats! It was a great end to the trip and adds to the bankroll for the next!
Heya I really enjoy your channel. I grew up in SA but now live in Austin and have found we have similar taste in food haha! When ever my wife and I go to Vegas we pretty much do breakfast or brunch at Sadelle's almost every morning. The coffee haunts us... It's so good and the food is delicious. My wife is the sweet person (pun intended lol) and I'm the savory person so she always gets the pancakes and I bounce around the menu with the eggs benny, salmon tower, breafast sandwich etc. but no matter what i always have to get a side of hasbrowns. They're always so yummy. Oh and if you get a side of bacon, be prepared to share because it's a pile of bacon. I'm curious what ya'll think of their food if you give them another chance. Yes, the line is always long which is why we always make a reservation and even with the reservation the wait is still around 5-15 minutes but I think that is because of the popularity. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. I haven't had the mimosas but I'm sure they're hella crispy 😭 Congrats on the handpays too!
Hello fellow Texan and San Antonian! ❤️ We definitely underestimated how busy that place it! We'll have to make reservations EARLY if not it seems to stay busy. Appreciate the recommendations too! The handpays were the icing on the cake for a this past trip! Thank you guys for watching our adventures!
I know y'all are busy and i don't want to over extend the asking of course! But for myself I've always wanted to go to Vegas, where would be a good place to stay for a starter going to Vegas?
Hey Joseph! That’s a great question. We always recommend getting players cards at each casino and play more at the places that you want to stay at. We feel like MGM gives us the best offers but we never started building at Caesars and they also have a big hotel collection (we still prefer MGM to Caesars tho) But for first time, some great value places on the strip are NYNY, park MGM, planet Holleywood, and the Horseshoe. These are good hotels that are still in center strip location. The more north strip you go, you will find more luxury hotels. Our Fave hotel stays: Nomad, Cosmo, Pallazo/Venetian, Wynn/encore, and Bellagio. But message us with where you plan on staying and we will send you some tips!
Thank you for an awesome vlog series! From meeting the podcast crew to Zorkfest and 3 handpays in between. Which had a bigger impact to those handpays? Not touching the Aria statue or dropping $17 bombs with Hog?? 🤔
Javamon!! Lol! We got nervous with the $25.00 spins! Can't make that a habit. Our good friend Kevin (Matrix2021 on YT) surprised us with them! A Sonia Rants segment sounds like it is in order going forward! lol!
Amazon Alexia says the correct pronunciation of Gyro is G-I-R-O. Often mispronounced is close to the Greek word Gama. We have all learned something today😂. Loved this series♥️
Yes, we always tip the attendants. All of these were just above the $1200 HP amount so we tipped $40-50 for these. Frenchy got much more because he made us drinks AND we won a HP! 😆
They are comped with play. Some specialty cocktails aren’t. But you need to see Frenchy to get those. We tip Frenchy well (because we love him 😆) but I would say to tip between $5-10 for a crafted cocktail!
We have spent about 75 nights in Vegas since we were married @ Luxor in 2015 and never had a hand pay playing ~ $3 is a spin. Hopefully you guys can itemize your taxes and deduct losses .congrats
IT WILL HAPPEN! The key is to keep trying! Lol! We did get nervous with $25 spins so don't think you HAVE to bet big to get a handpay, It has happened at $1.25 for us so it is possible! A family member had one on our June trip playing $0.75! It is coming, guys! We appreciate y'all watching! Hoping we can 0 out too with taxes! lol!
Your rant wasn't as nasty as mine would have been. We can't be too hard on the hostess who is probably getting crap from everyone, for a line policy that she/he have no control over. And congrats for all the hand pays!
You’re right. I am sure the hostess gets all type of grief! Just wish the process was different.. The last handpay was a surprise since we were just trying to meet the MGM goal for freeplay! We definitely don’t bet that high! Lol!
Hi Guys! I have dined at Sadelles' a couple of times when the property was owned by Steve Wynn! Now Sadelles' and everything else at Bellagio is down a few notches under MGM noticeably with the attitudes of the staff, as the way your Mrs was spoken to for example... and overall quality and experience at Bellagio. Under Wynn the lines and seating was definitely different! Staff always smiled! That is why on my Vegas stays' every year in the past few years I always at Wynn & Encore, Tower Suite. In my opinion the Best on the Strip! Since Caeser's and MGM have been swallowing up properties like Cosmo, Paris, etc. etc. you can see a big difference trending down, if you have stayed at them over the years! Like your Vid as always!👍
Definitely seeing the changes, so we agree. Customer service in most properties has gone down. One of the reasons we love the resorts on the north strip!
Totally, 💯 agree with your Sadelles rant!! Why make a reservation? Customer service should be better!
Edited to add... Love Frenchie! Congrats on the handpay! Such a fun video!
Hey Alice! Yes, Frenchy is the best
Yeah, the customer service at Sadelle’s surprised me. I really thought it would be better.
Thanks again for the support!
Wow wow wow. Just finished the video and I'm so excited for you. 3 peat handpay. Congrats. And I agree about the Saddels reservations. That's just wrong. God Bless.
Thanks! Yes, it was a great trip! Too bad they all aren’t like that! 😆
What a great day! Just one morning mimosa in your travel day turned in to so much more! Awesome to see it happen to yall. Bet it was so hard to leave!
The magic of a simple mimosa, Casey! That and visits to see Frenchy! That last morning is ALWAYS the hardest!!
Always a fun time with you guys! Keep em coming! Congrats on everything!🎉
Thank you, Roger! We appreciate you hanging with us on these adventures!

Ok, love the drink coaster! Please put those up for sale!
lol! They were awesome! But they were a gift from a very talented friend, or we would sell them! 😜

What a super trip! Cheers to Frenchy's newest drink and to THREE handpays!!
Yes! Cheers 🥂
Sadelle’s breakfast is decent but it’s not worth waiting 45 minutes past your reservation time. I would have walked away too.
So glad y’all like the Prosecco, it’s one of my favorites.
Thanks for joining us on the bar crawl, we had a great afternoon with everyone.
We met Stacie and Sylvie that night, they were so lovely.
Congrats on the Haul of Handpays 🤑🤑🤑

@ yeah sorry but we just had to post the Insta photo from our location 🏝️ Great Vlog guys and congratulations on the handpays 👏🏼 💰
Thanks, Warren!
Keno for the win! We went to Sadelles with the LVC in August. Beautiful place, total chaos. We won’t go back.
Yeah, we are hearing the same by so many people about Sadelle’s.
You guys looked like you had so much fun, you came up on other vlogs
It was such a fun time and we loved meeting up with them! Thanks Kim!
Now that’s a way to end the trip! Congrats! Last time I dined at Sadelle’s was a weekend and no issues with the reservation or line up. The breakfasts at Primrose are much better in my opinion.
Thank you, Lisa! ❤️
There are a lot of comments suggesting Sadelle’s was just okay and other places are better. Not sure if we’ll put more effort into it going forward..

Epic is a great word to describe our last day! Lol
Cheers 🥂
That Sadelle thing would have had me flying off the handle you guys are way more chill than me. Have you ever tried Bouchon for brunch? It’s great
Yea, it was definitely disappointing at Sadelle’s. Not sure we’ll make more of an effort to try it going forward.
Appreciate the heads up on Bouchon for Brunch! We’ll have to look into it now!

Hey, Christine! Saw some pics from Keno Christmas! Looks like it was a blast!
We nailed that tik tok in one try! Lol!

Blueberry pancakes meant regular pancakes and throw on 7 blueberries on top for $7 extra dollars. So crazy. Food was mediocre. That attitude would have made me cancel the reservation also.
When that Minor fell we had to do a double take when we saw the amount! Lol! We don’t normally bet that amount!
The feedback we received from Sadelle’s seems to be similar - okay food that is expensive with less than stellar service.
@ too many good places to eat in Vegas to deal with that. I’d be freaking out if I got that minor too.
Way to make an exit you two!🤘🍀
Lol! That was a RUSH!!!
Wow! What a great trip! When will you be in Vegas next?
Thank you, Michelle! We're hoping to be back early next year!
@ That’s awesome! We won’t be back until March.
@13:50 thanks to Naw-Delles, place its not that good but congrats on the Jack-Pot bro, 2 weeks and a wake up & its vegas Time lol
We're seeing a lot of comments saying the same thing about it too! Guess we're not missing anything with this one! Appreciate the congrats! It was a great end to the trip and adds to the bankroll for the next!
You guys were lit at Greek Sneak! Now that’s how you do Vegas. $36 for a gyro? I hope you smashed your plate after and went “Opa!”
😂😂
happy for your lucky day
Thank you, Angela! ❤️
Heya I really enjoy your channel. I grew up in SA but now live in Austin and have found we have similar taste in food haha! When ever my wife and I go to Vegas we pretty much do breakfast or brunch at Sadelle's almost every morning. The coffee haunts us... It's so good and the food is delicious. My wife is the sweet person (pun intended lol) and I'm the savory person so she always gets the pancakes and I bounce around the menu with the eggs benny, salmon tower, breafast sandwich etc. but no matter what i always have to get a side of hasbrowns. They're always so yummy. Oh and if you get a side of bacon, be prepared to share because it's a pile of bacon. I'm curious what ya'll think of their food if you give them another chance. Yes, the line is always long which is why we always make a reservation and even with the reservation the wait is still around 5-15 minutes but I think that is because of the popularity. Great atmosphere, great food and great drinks. I haven't had the mimosas but I'm sure they're hella crispy 😭 Congrats on the handpays too!
Hello fellow Texan and San Antonian! ❤️
We definitely underestimated how busy that place it! We'll have to make reservations EARLY if not it seems to stay busy. Appreciate the recommendations too!
The handpays were the icing on the cake for a this past trip! Thank you guys for watching our adventures!
I know y'all are busy and i don't want to over extend the asking of course! But for myself I've always wanted to go to Vegas, where would be a good place to stay for a starter going to Vegas?
Hey Joseph! That’s a great question. We always recommend getting players cards at each casino and play more at the places that you want to stay at. We feel like MGM gives us the best offers but we never started building at Caesars and they also have a big hotel collection (we still prefer MGM to Caesars tho)
But for first time, some great value places on the strip are NYNY, park MGM, planet Holleywood, and the Horseshoe. These are good hotels that are still in center strip location. The more north strip you go, you will find more luxury hotels.
Our Fave hotel stays: Nomad, Cosmo, Pallazo/Venetian, Wynn/encore, and Bellagio.
But message us with where you plan on staying and we will send you some tips!
When are you guys back? Hoping to cross paths at some point! We fly in 1/4.
We are back mid January for my sisters birthday! It’s a family trip!
Hope y’all have a blast and win big!
Thank you for an awesome vlog series! From meeting the podcast crew to Zorkfest and 3 handpays in between. Which had a bigger impact to those handpays? Not touching the Aria statue or dropping $17 bombs with Hog?? 🤔
Lol!! Oh man...now that is THE question! We're gonna go with Sir Hogertons' influence at Circa. That's what started it all! 😂🤑🎰💰
@DaverrasonTravels 🤣
It's almost time to quit the day job and become RUclips stars, but you're going to have to add more rants. 😎 Love the coasters and $25 spins!!! 🤑
Javamon!!
Lol! We got nervous with the $25.00 spins! Can't make that a habit. Our good friend Kevin (Matrix2021 on YT) surprised us with them! A Sonia Rants segment sounds like it is in order going forward! lol!
Amazon Alexia says the correct pronunciation of Gyro is G-I-R-O. Often mispronounced is close to the Greek word Gama. We have all learned something today😂. Loved this series♥️
lol! Thanks so much!! 🫶🫶
@ Don’t bother me now! I’m 39 mins in the video drinking a Blanche Devaroe and watching you! Love you both♥️
@@gaileesanders983 😂😂🫶🫶
Congrats on your 3 handpays! Next trip will be 4..eek...lol
Lol! We hope so, Kathy! ❤️
Do you tip slot attendant on the hand pay? Amount? Thanks
Yes, we always tip the attendants. All of these were just above the $1200 HP amount so we tipped $40-50 for these.
Frenchy got much more because he made us drinks AND we won a HP! 😆
Sadelle's good, but nothing special to wait that long past a reservation time IMO.
Hey, Michelle! We’re seeing a lot pf comments like this about Sadelle’s. Looks like we won’t be putting in more effort to go.
Are the drinks comped at the Gem Bar? And what is typical tip?
They are comped with play. Some specialty cocktails aren’t. But you need to see Frenchy to get those.
We tip Frenchy well (because we love him 😆) but I would say to tip between $5-10 for a crafted cocktail!
Ok thanks for reply. Will be in Vegas next month. Will definitely visit Gem Bar
We have spent about 75 nights in Vegas since we were married @ Luxor in 2015 and never had a hand pay playing ~ $3 is a spin.
Hopefully you guys can itemize your taxes and deduct losses .congrats
IT WILL HAPPEN! The key is to keep trying! Lol! We did get nervous with $25 spins so don't think you HAVE to bet big to get a handpay, It has happened at $1.25 for us so it is possible! A family member had one on our June trip playing $0.75! It is coming, guys!
We appreciate y'all watching! Hoping we can 0 out too with taxes! lol!
You go Sonia Rant away. I would be pissed off too. Helena
lol, thanks Helena!
Yayyyy!!!🎉 U guys killin the game 😂. Love from communist California 🫶
Your rant wasn't as nasty as mine would have been. We can't be too hard on the hostess who is probably getting crap from everyone, for a line policy that she/he have no control over. And congrats for all the hand pays!
You’re right. I am sure the hostess gets all type of grief! Just wish the process was different..
The last handpay was a surprise since we were just trying to meet the MGM goal for freeplay! We definitely don’t bet that high! Lol!
You are not missing out on that breakfast, I had a better one at peppermill.
That's what we are hearing. Peppermill is a solid choice for breakfast!
@@DaverrasonTravels People rush there because there are not many breakfast options around. If they were smart, they would open another option.
Agreed!
restaurants overbook that's why
Yea, it's unfortunate.
You aren’t missing anything with sadelles. The most recent overpriced mediocre breakfast in Vegas.
Seems that way. Guess we didn't miss out! 🤷♀️☺️
In my opinion Salt and Ivy is better!
We like Salt and Ivy!
We thought Sadelles was over rated, food mediocre and a definite snotty attitude.
Yeah, we are hearing more and more of that.
Sadelles is awful. Terrible food terrible service. Overpriced. They get automatic hype because of the conservatory. But do not back it up at all. 0/10
Good to know. We have been wanting to try it but we’re not happy with the customer service.
Hi Guys! I have dined at Sadelles' a couple of times when the property was owned by Steve Wynn! Now Sadelles' and everything else at Bellagio is down a few notches under MGM noticeably with the attitudes of the staff, as the way your Mrs was spoken to for example... and overall quality and experience at Bellagio. Under Wynn the lines and seating was definitely different! Staff always smiled! That is why on my Vegas stays' every year in the past few years I always at Wynn & Encore, Tower Suite. In my opinion the Best on the Strip! Since Caeser's and MGM have been swallowing up properties like Cosmo, Paris, etc. etc. you can see a big difference trending down, if you have stayed at them over the years! Like your Vid as always!👍
Definitely seeing the changes, so we agree. Customer service in most properties has gone down. One of the reasons we love the resorts on the north strip!
