As a counterpoint to the trolls…I think you do a great job. Here’s to your continued success.
Appreciate that. In order to have haters in the first place you have to be doing something right. We can delete them at any time, but it’s more fun to engage.
@@ShowMeVegas They are inevitable for any channel of a certain size. You handle them well.
Happy Mother’s Day to Ashden! Sunday isn’t a Sunday without a show me Vegas upload. Cromwell may be the only hotel on the strip that I haven’t spent any time in.
Nice video Jordan as usual. I loved the background music you were using! While certainly a different vibe from the old Barbary Coast I was disappointed to see the condition of the room especially at the price point advertised. I spent most of my past Las Vegas time staying at Caesars Palace and would venture into the Barbary Coast just to look around. Friends have told me the rooms were in poor condition at that time as well. Thank you for your hard work and excellent videos. I would like to try the Veal Chop at Giada's as well!
I am glad you did a review. I have always been curious on how the rooms looked. They look beautiful but wow they need to update their rooms.
Gee, 000 roulette. Remember when they had 100x odds on craps too? Still a beautiful property and my favorite of all Caesars properties. Great video!
Excellent work, Jordan! Thanks for your hard work on this!
Thanks for watching!
We’ve never stopped in there and I’ve always wondered what it’s like. Great video!! That lemon spaghetti- Oh my!!
Makes me miss staying at the old Barbary Coast
Hey Sir Jordan ….I’ve only been in the Cromwell once and don’t really have any desire to go back . The rooms remind me of a French bordello lol . The public spaces and casino are nicer than the LinQ or Flamingo but there’s just no vibe or atmosphere and not much to do . I’m not a big Caesars property fan anyway . Spot on review as always 😎😎😎
Thanks for video Jordan. Well done again. Always lively in that area. Vibe is awesome. Refresh is needed for sure
Another excellent vid - keeep 'em coming!
Thanks! 🙏🏻
I had my wedding night at the old Barbery Coast in 1993. The rooms need a refresh. The Rio just got a new pool maybe stay there soon.
Always enjoy your streams! John and Nancy from Chicago.
another honest and informative review, you touch on everything that's important to the potential customer !! keep the great content coming 😛🔥
Thanks, will do!
Cheers - great review.
@@andykinseley7501 thanks! 🙏🏻
@@ShowMeVegas - yeah man. We’re planning a visit. This was a super helpful review 👍🏻
Well what a Bummer. But thank you for honest heads up review
Good little hideout
We have stayed here 3 times in last 2 years (Each time Strip view side). Agree about the noise, but it hasnt really bothered us that much except if we kept the bathroom window open. Overall, our stays have been great. Love that you need the room key to use the elevators, and the halls are usually super quiet. Casino gaming is fun and if Im going to play blackjack on the Strip, Cromwell is where I play. Its a vibe, and we enjoy it. Edit: One other thing we love about Cromwell is the garage seems the easiest to get in and out of since its right there on Flamingo.
Cromwell is so small, it sometimes won't register on Google Maps until I zoom in quite a bit.
I remember a few years ago Google Maps would still have old shots of it as Bill's depending on your angle using the street-view feature. So as you changed where you were "standing," the casino would change, haha.
Hi Jordan, another Fine video. I’m gonna put Giada’s on the “ to do” list!. Happy Mother’s Day Ashden.👍
Great comment on pro....it also smells great when you walk into the Cromwell.
I used to stay there all the time back when it was the Barbary Coast and then Bill's Gamblin' Hall. It was great! $50 a night and no resort fee. The decor in those days was kind of similar to now, but was less French and more "Victorian-era San Francisco" style. The biggest difference in the room is that the bathrooms used to be really tiny and old! The bathtub/shower used to have a little narrow window that you could hand-crank to open and get a little fresh air! haha The casino looked similar to now but was a little less fancy. However, back then they had 2 big advantages they don't have now - a good steakhouse with $9.99 rib-eyes and Big Elvis performing in the lounge. Fun times!
Well done sir.
Thank you sir!
Great video Jordan. It seems to me that the rooms at the Cromwell are due for a needed renovation. It is also unfortunate that apart from the two options you mentioned there isn't any other place to eat on the property. However the location is excellent along with the casino floor.
I like the Cromwell's casino, but its hard to be a luxury hotel with next to nothing to offer. If this property ever starts to fail, it would be great to see it become a "grinder's" joint again. With casino royale dumping all their table games, and potentially going away altogether, the center strip needs a place like that.
thank you
I adored walking into Cromwell pre-merger (around 2018, 2019) and hanging out in the Interlude Lounge. They had those great drink specials (like $2 basic cocktails) and live entertainment. Last I checked, they never brought any of that back after the lockdown (at which point the merger took place). You can sit in there, as shown, but that's about it.
I have only stayed there twice, both times post-merger. The first time in 2021, I loved my room. The second time, a bit over a year later, the room and the resort as a whole looked a lot more rundown. It was a shame. I think the aging process got sped up post-pandemic when they were lowering the rates to bring people back. Attracted a rowdier crowd. Plus they probably started skimping on maintenance.
I loved Giada's both times I went (once for brunch, once for dinner). Glad to see it is still great.
Cromwell used to have some good deals on table games, but it was mostly electronic games last I was there. Nothing but triple-zero roulette? Damn.
I was at the Cromwell in 1990, when Vegas was not very family friendly yet... The club in the basement is where the McDonald's used to be you would go down some steps from the boulevard and there was McDonald's. They also did and I can't remember it was 75 cents or dollar Long Island iced teas. Lots of lights lots of fun and Vegas was extra seedy... And the mirage had started the slow change.
Never knew there was once a McDonald's down there, that's fascinating! Thanks for watching!
I also forgot to mention that it was called the Barbary Coast back then but you know that. You did a nice job with your video!
If you liked the casino, you're probably the only one. The casino is a ghost town most days or nights. Whomever the GM of this property is, they should be re-assigned, they absolutely do not know how to draw customers into the property at all. An embarrassment is the only way to describe this place.
Awesome shirt
Thx Jordan I was close to staying here for later in year as love logistics of hotel but after hearing bout the noise glad I didn't I'm a mourning person in Vegas bed by midnite up at 6am so that bedroom noise would not be good
Noise is a problem here, for sure. As I mentioned, the other side of the hotel is even worse thanks to traffic. They should give out complimentary earplugs!
Great content.as a ceasars rewards member as well as my wife,the price is bit too high.always thought of staying at other ceasars properties and we have but I don't think the Cromwell be on our list.have gambled at the casino, didn't do too bad.
I recall staying here in 2011--I think it was called "Buffalo Bills" then. What I didn't like was the perpetual darkness of the room. I couldn't wait to check-out and though it was refreshed since, it did and still does cast off prison vibes, albeit a little bit more comfortable and stylish than a typical cell. And no, lol, I am not speaking from the point-of-view as a former inmate but from a job that I once had where on-site visits to correctional institutions were required:)
Bill’s Gambling Hall and Saloon. The name was an homage to Bill Harrah, the founder of Harrah’s Entertainment, who owned the hotel at the time.
Nice job fading from night to day on the outside of the building. Looked to be the exact same spot across the street!
Those were still images. :)
I should have listened! I stayed at the Cromwell last week. Horrible experience with the room and the staff. Could not get any sleep. I had to check out early and move to another hotel. I also agree not a luxury experience as advertised. It would be a nice spot for someone looking to party all night and sleep all day.
😩
I remember the casino when it was the Barbary Coast. Made a few visits. I remember the McDonald’s inside. And been inside, it is a small casino, but when it was the BC you could not move. Thanks
Barbary Coast pre-dates our Vegas trips, but it was always pretty busy as Bill’s Gambling Hall. Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegasI completely forgot this was Bill’s Gambling Hall for a few years. We used to stop in for cheap food
Ty
U forgot to mention one of the major perks of The Cromwell-adults only. Not too many of those on the strip.
It’s funny, I realized that while I was editing. I certainly knew, I just forgot to say anything about it.
Love your Aerosmith shirt ! Where did u get it ?
It’s been a few years but to be honest I think it came off of Amazon. Thanks for watching!
I think some of those rooms do open up to the outside. I seen the windows open before
😊
People have taken tools before and unscrewed the locks, but none of them are supposed to be open. The “balcony” is faux. It’s not designed to be used, it’s a stucco ledge.
Seen several videos on The Cromwell.
The casino, restaurants and bars look nice, but the rooms, at least the standard room, it looks like a French Knocking Shop!!!
I don’t like the casino and smaller rooms. Not a lot of choices with suites like you mentioned not a lot of rooms.
Cromwell, much like NYNY, feels like it tries too hard to be what it portray itself as. Not that it’s bad or inferior or something like that, but as you said, the value isn’t there. At least NYNY isn’t as expensive but this feels like a google search of “boutique hotel”: odd colored decor, mirrors at an angle, accoutrements that look half old half like it came from a hipster flea market. This was an excellent evenhanded review. And confirmed why I’ll stop in to gamble or eat but never stay here
Caesers doing Caesar’s things, guys. Just pop over to Vdara and have a better experience.
We’ve stayed at Vdara several times. We’ve even made videos there. Thanks for watching!
Are they still doing $5 happy hour cocktails at their casino bar?
The resort fees have become comical. More like a "double the published rate" fee.
I do like the somewhat restrained decor of the casino areas, tasteful but not too much flash. The rooms, awful and if the designers think that this is what a Parisian apartment looks like then they got too much inspiration from Moulin Rouge and a bit of HGTV thrown in for fun. AWFUL! I don't know too much about gaming but triple zero? Seriously the Nevada gaming commission allows that? Fine, why not make it 32 zero or however many slots there are on a roulette wheel. Hopefully, those large shrimp for your dinner were wild caught but suspect farm raised in Vietnam, Thailand or China. All of those places farm raise the shrimp in essentially sewage water and feed them literally "poop". Don't believe it, a big of Googling around will confirm that. Yes, Poop pellets. I think that it is 40% poop and the rest some cheap grains or other cheap ingredients. We eat what the fish eat.
Great video and review as always. I do like that The Cromwell is the only 21 and over property on The Strip. Everything was good until you showed the bad parts of the room. Also, the lack of amenities is a negative also.
wow thats pretty.... awful for a luxury hotel honestly.... just this alone took this off my list of places to stay...
I’ve never been there and seen it busy whatsoever. It looks like your experience was about the same. I’ll definitely check out the restaurant that you went to though.
This was a Wednesday night, and to be fair a lot of the footage was taken at odd hours just because it is easier that way, but it definitely wasn’t busy. Thanks for watching!
7:19 👍🏽
IMO, the place peaked when it was Bills.
could have at least gave you some bread, ceasors rooms always have dings and scratches
"Its almost too pretty to eat" narrator: he finished the whole thing
“almost” was the key word!
Thanks for taking one for the troops but the Cromwell is a hard pass for me
Fair enough, thanks for watching!
Pitiful they would let a room get that way.
That’s just Caesars being Caesars. Thanks for watching!
Stayed last July, room on the surface looks good but once you dig deeper, furniture seemed old and chipped. Same type of issues that this video had. Wasn’t a fan of Cromwell.
Cromwell usually early in the day has $10 BJ and Texas Hold'em tables.
defo hard pass on 38 bux for 2 shrimps and sum pasta lolz...too rich for me! i'd spend that 38 on bogo myvegas buffet #cheapskate
what is the best place for rat pack music for dancing, for "older" people?...
did you find out
$49 resort fee for what?
The resort fee has never really been "for" anything, if we're being honest...
Played there last year, I like that they the very obscure Mississippi stud, not sure if it’s still there
Didn't notice, to be honest. We've always liked playing blackjack there though.
Wouldnt stay there
Bills gambling casino for yrs
I stayed there 30+ years ago when it was the Barbary Coast. It looks as if the rooms are just as dark as they were then.
Location was the only factor that would entice me to stay there now.
@@toddrunyon yeah i had a great time there self's park and 2.99 bk lol. On the strip take care bro....
Just raise the price of the room $50 instead of phrasing the extra $50 as a “resort fee” 😡
The biggest reason is third party booking sites. The hotels have to pay commission to the booking sites based on the nightly rate.
This hotel always had weird swinger vibes
I like your videos. But you were dressed a little little casual for Giadas !!!!!!
I wouldn’t necessarily disagree, but it was late on a weeknight, I was alone, and dined at the bar. Looking around at some of the other people I wasn’t completely out of place. Thanks so much for watching!

People voted for the only affordable hotel near the center of the strip. RUclipsrs usually promote hotels, most average people can’t afford. Like you guy’s are in an agreement with specific hotels.
Not sure what this means. First, the Flamingo was one of the poll options, which is a far cheaper property and right next door. Secondly, we don’t work with any hotels. We have no contract or agreement with any property. We pay for our rooms the same way any Vegas traveler would.
Ahh, you stole Roaming New Routes theme music on this. Shame Shame!A small sample is one thing but to play it the whole time? Come on. It’s okay to get creative.
Huh? "Stole" might be a bit of a strong word considering I have no idea what you're talking about. I choose music from a stock subscription service. You're implying that I heard it on another channel and decided I should use it for myself? 🤣🤣🤣
Never mind, I just ran across your comment history on this channel and it all makes sense now…
Pretty beat up is an understatement! Wow... I thought they did better at the Cromwell!
Caesars being Caesars. Thanks for watching!
Giada looks disappointing
Giada was the highlight. The hotel itself was the disappointment, actually.
I like the hotel location but other than Drais I don't see it has anything else to offer, very limited food options, no bars that I recall, no poker room, no pool (beyond Drais).
Great video . I first wanted to stay here but thanks to your honest review I will pick another hotel.
Glad you liked it. It’s a cool place, just not quite the luxury hotel they want to make it out as. Thanks for watching!
