I have eaten at the Top of The World before and your review is perfect. This is why I love your channel, you don't sugar coat anything. Keep up the great work.
You didn't used to have to pay extra to sit by the window. That happened during COVID. It's ridiculous that they ever did it and more offensive that they never removed it. I used to love going there but lately the only good thing is the lobster bisque... That is a must try! Everything else is underwhelming.
Nope--wasn’t worth it seven years ago which was The last time I was there and they weren’t QUITE so mercenary ! But they were still Hellishly expensive !
The last time I ate at this restaurant was way back in 2017, I was with my ex at the time. We didn't have to pay to sit by the windows. We requested a table by the windows and that's it. I agree with you. The foods were average at best. It's not worth the high price.
It's not in the best area, but I love the Strat. I wish they would promote it more for the observatory and for the restaurant. The Strat is a must visit for first-time Vegas tourists for the view alone. FYI you can go to the observatory level for free to enjoy the great views.
Congratulations on the engagement! I’ve always wondered what it is like to eat there, gorgeous views, but yeah, It’s pricey. Really appreciate the review of the food as well.
It's funny the ghetto strat has such a strict dress code, they wouldn't let me in with my football jersey on a Sunday but the Old Homestead at Ceasars let me in after saying jerseys are ok on Sundays lol
I’m so glad to see someone else’s take on this restaurant. My best friend and I were out in Vegas in 2022 and we paid for the same exact seating location and we could’ve just done that, had drinks and dessert. My food was subpar. I had a seafood pasta. The seafood was rubbery, the pasta was undercooked. I definitely could’ve saved my money, went to Nachodaddy and tried to go to the top of the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower. Lol
$25 'per person' for the view is a bit much. I think $25 per table is fair. You bring a party of 6 and you're already in somewhat deep, and you haven't even had a glass of water yet :) Nice video and thank you for sharing!
I miss the old days when they let you up to bar 107 for free during happy hour (4pm-7pm) and had buy one get one martinis. Once they started charging I believe like $34 just to get to the observation deck, nah. Never been back. Shame that Vegas is just full of corporate greed these days.
I've been here a couple of times. The food, in my opinion, is subpar compared to other restaurants like Bavettes, Herbs and Rye, and Barry's. The service at the restaurant has always been great. I had to teach their bartender how to make a sazerac though. Their cocktails aren't that good. You really are paying for the view. For those who want to get a nice view of Vegas, I'd recommend Legacy Bar at Circa or Sky Bar at Waldorf Astoria.
Great Video. I need to do a solo dinner by myself again and try the STRAT. Spending $300ish for 2 people is normal like you said. I finally tried TBone at Red Rock Casino and had the 8oz A5 Wagyu.
Why are you going there when it is light outside? Only go to Top of the World at nighttime plus the reservation charges are optional. When I made my reservation I didn't do any of the charges and was still seated next to the window on the rotating floor. Plus you get free access to the observation deck on the Strat if you eat there which is awesome. This restaurant is the only thing worth doing at the Strat in my opinion.
Here I thought that resort fees are a big ripoff but I was proven wrong, To charge a reservation fee of $25 per person & then not credit it to your food bill is the greediest cash grab yet. Then the quality of food is mediocre is another insult. The absolute greed of the casinos never cease to amaze me.
Great review! Went here back in August 2010 for dinner and loved every moment of it! It was worth the price. The charging extra for special seating for reservations must be new as I don't remember that.
hello must try!! thanks for the video. so the wifey and i do the strat top of the world every year. yes the $50 reservation bites the big one, but the food is much better than you think it is. its much better than a 4 mr picky!! lol cheers
Love the videos but did not watch this one based on title. I have visiting Las Vegas for last 25 years and was there for my 50th birthday last year. This idea has worked the entire time with no issues. Go to Strat go to the top floor 108th floor. Do not go to restaurant or make reservations. Go to bar there each person buys one drink you can see all the views and take photos stay for while best view in Las Vegas. If they ask about restaurant say no going to bar. Save all that money on dinner.
..I used to go to TOTW when they had Lunch..Alot‼️.. then went Alot for Dinner.. the minute they started to charge me for a TABLE...I was Like..uh, NO THANX‼️🤬
Thanks for the review Jorge, I'll make sure to come here only for the view's and avoid the food, talk about lame that they can't do any better with the cuisine perhaps they should hire Marco Pierre White he'll whip this restaurant into shape real fast LOL!!! 😋😋😋 oh, and that Mexican blonde joke was on point, LOL!!!😆😆😆😆
That's expensive for where I'm from for sure. Best steak I ever had was in a Texas steal house for abt $30 for the whole plate. But then, we do tend to grow our own beef here so I guess that can definitely help the pricing. We've got reservations here with friends in July and I didn't know abt the fee. We're a party of 8 and they said they cld only seat 7 together so I told my bff to put hubs and I on our own so she can eat with her daughter the birthday girl and family together. I'll have to make sure to pay her for our seating! Hopefully the steak won't be super bland when we go since it's a holiday weekend also.
The reason why they charge the $25 per person for a window seat is because too many people were going up to Top Of The World JUST to get drinks: which barred people who wanted to dine and enjoy the view from being able to do so. So in all honesty I think they're justified in charging for the guaranteed window seat.
Years ago this was pretty good. The quality has declined drastically. I still can’t believe people still say the Golden Steer is great. Nope there also imo.
My girlfriend and I had the same seating and experience back and Thanksgiving in 2010. Except we didn't have to pay for reservations. The Service was outstanding though. I like the lounge one level up I think it's worth it to go there for just for that.
Eiffel Tower restaurant has the same reservation fee's. Ate there 2 months ago, truthfully it was not worth the price. Was at the strat viewing area with the family a couple of weeks ago, and can say that view is something else.
I was there a few years before Covid and didn’t have to pay $25 for the window view. My party of 9 ordered the Chef’s menu with multiple courses and dessert. I enjoyed it. No so much the first time I was there many years ago.
Anyway: I'm going to try this restaurant for the first time when I stay at the STRAT the day after EDC next month. I simply feel a stay at the STRAT is incomplete without giving Top Of The World and 108 Lounge a go, so it's on. 😊 I'm not expecting the food to blow me away, but like you said it's about the experience above all else, and there's no denying the experience is pretty much unrivaled there.
Cool view, stinks the food wasn't that great. The $50 should definitely go towards your dinner. I've been binge watching the channel. Congrats on the engagement!
Thank you for another great honest video! It seems like businesses are charging for any little thing that used to be free! That’s absurd 😤 I wouldn’t be surprised if they charge for toilet paper to wipe your ass lol 🤣 Nonetheless that dessert looked amazing 😍 Vegas just isn’t the same like the old days 😞
Looking sharp George and impressed you're still not drinking, well done sir👏. Not drinking during a meal like this can be a great hack to keep your bill under better control, especially since some of these drinks can easily be in the $20+ each category.
If the food was actually good they'd make a killing with this place. Instead it's selling itself entirely off the seating view.
Congrats on the engagement bro!
Thanks G!
My advice is to get a prenuptial agreement and listen to Tom Leykis.
I have eaten at the Top of The World before and your review is perfect. This is why I love your channel, you don't sugar coat anything. Keep up the great work.
You got it brother!!
Having a minimum to spend there is nasty work especially if you're seeing reviews online saying the food is average.
Yeah I'd look else where if food is priority
25 for the table is reasonable. Not per person.
You didn't used to have to pay extra to sit by the window. That happened during COVID. It's ridiculous that they ever did it and more offensive that they never removed it. I used to love going there but lately the only good thing is the lobster bisque... That is a must try! Everything else is underwhelming.

TRUUE
Congratulations on the engagement! I’ve always wondered what it is like to eat there, gorgeous views, but yeah, It’s pricey. Really appreciate the review of the food as well.
Yeah that place is not worth it, just another Tourist Trap! Try to review Echo and Rig one day
Fiance? What have I missed? Congratulations brother!
Thank you man!!
It's funny the ghetto strat has such a strict dress code, they wouldn't let me in with my football jersey on a Sunday but the Old Homestead at Ceasars let me in after saying jerseys are ok on Sundays lol
LOL 😅 any restaurants with a view, you are paying for the view.
I’m so glad to see someone else’s take on this restaurant. My best friend and I were out in Vegas in 2022 and we paid for the same exact seating location and we could’ve just done that, had drinks and dessert. My food was subpar. I had a seafood pasta. The seafood was rubbery, the pasta was undercooked. I definitely could’ve saved my money, went to Nachodaddy and tried to go to the top of the Las Vegas Eiffel Tower. Lol
The Strat stinks as soon as you walk in. Hits you right in the face.
If he had no money would she be sitting there? 😂😂😂
$25 'per person' for the view is a bit much. I think $25 per table is fair. You bring a party of 6 and you're already in somewhat deep, and you haven't even had a glass of water yet :) Nice video and thank you for sharing!
Good point! Thank you!
My wife and I went there for dinner a few years back and we spent 350 total for our dinner. Wasn’t too bad and view was amazing.
Literally once in a lifetime experience lol
I ate here! I felt dizzy while eating because of the rotating floor. Expensive and small portions, but the butter was delicious lol
Yes that cake was elite
I miss the old days when they let you up to bar 107 for free during happy hour (4pm-7pm) and had buy one get one martinis. Once they started charging I believe like $34 just to get to the observation deck, nah. Never been back. Shame that Vegas is just full of corporate greed these days.
Long gone my friend
That steak looked like they picked it up at ShopRite and grilled it that morning and then microwaved it
😂😂😂
Way the hell over priced
Nice video, coming to Vegas this Saturday to film my next series. Love your presentation style. 🕶
Went there about a year ago, the experience and views were great but the food was just okay though.
You are 100 percent right they should reduce the $50 of your bill great video 👍👍👍
Rightt?
I stayed at the Strat 10 years ago but didn't try this restaurant. After your review I'm glad we skipped it. Tourist trap. 😮
Yup sorta
I've been here a couple of times. The food, in my opinion, is subpar compared to other restaurants like Bavettes, Herbs and Rye, and Barry's. The service at the restaurant has always been great.

I totally agree! This is one of my fav comments
Top of World restaurant is in top 5 highest grossing restaurant in all United States.
Woww i didn't know that
Old and ghetto area it’s just ugly around there. No thanks 😊
😂😂
That’s where the good stuff is!!
Great Video. I need to do a solo dinner by myself again and try the STRAT. Spending $300ish for 2 people is normal like you said. I finally tried TBone at Red Rock Casino and had the 8oz A5 Wagyu.
OMG! Charging to make a reservation. Hold me back!
The food look horrible no thanks lol
😂
Daaaaamn!! You scored big time! CONGRATS on the engagement. She's lovely. Does she know how lucky she is??? 🤔
Double score! Thank you!
Congratulations on the engagement Jorge 😊. I love the video

If people pay, there's a reason
@@Vegas-Must-TryBecause they're idiots who want to impress people. 😂
Way too many restrictions, for subpar food, great view but you can get that at your hotel room most times.
Agreed
Great review! Went here back in August 2010 for dinner and loved every moment of it! It was worth the price.
The charging extra for special seating for reservations must be new as I don't remember that.
It's pretty cool if you scrub through the video really fast you can see the restaurant spinning
The food is okay but drinks are great. But the views are worth it.
Bob Stupak is rolling over in his grave. 😂😂😂
Oh snap. The footage didn't look that sketchy of that mall you go through on the way up. Did they renovate or are you just a genius videographer?
I thought it was pretty sketchy how empty it is haha
Yeah your fiance is very beautiful, happy for you player
Damn ya'll a cute couple. Your baby gonna have to be a model 😅
hello must try!! thanks for the video. so the wifey and i do the strat top of the world every year. yes the $50 reservation bites the big one, but the food is much better than you think it is. its much better than a 4 mr picky!! lol cheers
You should eat at other steakhouses! Much better food in Vegas i think!
Can I just buy drink or two and take some pics?
Lookin dapper
thanks for sharing. will continue to avoid the strat on future trips unless atomic golf pulls me in
You bet
Felicidades on the engagement! You guys make a fantastic couple! As always, the Video, the Content= 🔥
Thank you my brother!

Watch the video
Your wife is beautiful
Not entirely true. I went here once a few years ago and saw someone who wore sandals. LOL I guess they won't deny you because of money. Congrats, bro
Yeah some people didn't look nice
..I used to go to TOTW when they had Lunch..Alot‼️.. then went Alot for Dinner.. the minute they started to charge me for a TABLE...I was Like..uh, NO THANX‼️🤬

Lol love how they only list towers smaller than theirs in comparison...
Punching down

been there. Once is good

Engaged!? We need story! This was a blindside lol
Might post on members only
Years ago this was pretty good. The quality has declined drastically. I still can’t believe people still say the Golden Steer is great. Nope there also imo.
Beautiful place but not returning for 25 per person/ table... been there before the 25 dollars charge!
What’s up from Texas brother, another great review. Appreciate the honesty. Do you recommend Oscar’s at the plaza over this?
Upcharging for a better view 😮; I guess price gouging is a way of life in Vegas ,Disney etc
Congrats jorge! She's pretty ❤
Thank you friend!
My girlfriend and I had the same seating and experience back and Thanksgiving in 2010. Except we didn't have to pay for reservations.
The Service was outstanding though.
I like the lounge one level up I think it's worth it to go there for just for that.
If the salad wasn't even good then that's pretty bad
🤣
Eiffel Tower restaurant has the same reservation fee's. Ate there 2 months ago, truthfully it was not worth the price. Was at the strat viewing area with the family a couple of weeks ago, and can say that view is something else.

Xcessive cologne and perfume.
Lmao what
Your fiancée is so pretty! I always enjoy your videos! 👍
Appreciate the honesty Bro....& Congrats ! Yeah, I agree, you can do better for less !
Is there value in doing the $15 reservation instead? Or is the $25 one the only way to go
Congratulations on your engagement Jorge! You both look beautiful. 🤗😃
I used to take customers there when attending the International Telemetry Conference. I never got out of the door less than $600.
Congratulations on your engagement!! 🎉
Thank youuu!
As long as the food is good I would definitely spend $25 for a spin❤
Congratulations to you both! What a gorgeous couple, Latino Heat! 🔥🔥🎉
Where is there a comparable view?
Legacy
Coming here after my wedding so nice to see the restaurant property 😊
Surprised they would even serve mac and cheese at a place like that 😮
A TRUE dining adventure. Thanks bro for the video
Excellent Video! I haven't eaten there in over 20 years!
Congratulations! Have an amazing weekend.
Thanks for the 411 on this restaurant 👍
Anyway: I'm going to try this restaurant for the first time when I stay at the STRAT the day after EDC next month. I simply feel a stay at the STRAT is incomplete without giving Top Of The World and 108 Lounge a go, so it's on. 😊
I'm not expecting the food to blow me away, but like you said it's about the experience above all else, and there's no denying the experience is pretty much unrivaled there.
100% agree with your take. If you got the money to pay for it. Do it once.
I'd enjoy coffee and a couple desserts there
Love ur honest reviews- Bravo!!
Cool view, stinks the food wasn't that great. The $50 should definitely go towards your dinner. I've been binge watching the channel. Congrats on the engagement!
Thanks brother!
Thank you for another great honest video! It seems like businesses are charging for any little thing that used to be free! That’s absurd 😤 I wouldn’t be surprised if they charge for toilet paper to wipe your ass lol 🤣
Nonetheless that dessert looked amazing 😍 Vegas just isn’t the same like the old days 😞
They want to charge us for everything nowadays
Congratulations on your engagement!
Looking sharp George and impressed you're still not drinking, well done sir👏.
Not drinking during a meal like this can be a great hack to keep your bill under better control, especially since some of these drinks can easily be in the $20+ each category.
You have THE BEST Vegas review channel. Also, congratulations to you and your lovely lady on the engagement. She's a lucky woman!!!
Thanks so much Tomb!!
Congrats on the engagement bro! Great video as always.
Great video! Can you access the rooftop bar if you didn’t eat at the restaurant ? Or is it exclusively after dinner? Thanks keep up the good work
Yes but you have to pay for the elevator ride essentially
Congratulations on your engagement bro
Overpriced. Norma did a most romantic place to dine video that was better than your location 🤷♂️
Where at?
That price is not bad at all. I’ve paid double here in Seattle with NO view. I will totally check this place out next time I’m in town.
Damn Seattle rinsed you
such a babe
Thanks
Congrats on the engagement. 👍👍
Always learn something new from you. Great video brother.
I appreciate that
