    I'm so glad The Plaza is finally getting the love it so desperately needed. All the newer updates and upgrades are absolutely welcome and needed.
    A bit of the classic style still remains but the newer additions helping keep it fresh.
    BTW, in my opinion Oscar's is absolutely top notch. The best crab cake I ever had outside of Maryland. (I literally cried when I took my last bite cuz I KNEW it was over and I'd never have it again until the next visit..)
    Another excellent video, my man.

    • @dcmidnight
      @dcmidnight Год назад +4

      Its so funny, I guess I'm the only one that found Oscars completely overrated. Maybe I just hit it on a bad night. But I've been to 15-20 steak places around the city and I'd hit them up again before going back to Socars.

    • @TheVictorCruz
      @TheVictorCruz Год назад +1

    In 1995 my family and I went down there and stayed at the Plaza. We came down about 6 times between 1995 and 2008. We stayed at Plaza 5 out of the 6 times. It was nice. My aunt would book the rooms 410 and 412 so we could see the Nightly shows on the big experience from our rooms. It was great

    About 5 years ago I brought my family to the Plaza for a one night stay. Fortunately for us the front desk made a mistake in our reservation. As it turned we were given the suite. We so surprised! The hotel has evolved over the years especially since they added the Carousel Bar and PinkBox. My husband and I will be staying there in November. Looking forward to it!

    I love the plaza. I've stayed there many of times and it remains on my occasional rotation. First time I stayed there around 2001 it was getting really run down and kind of a grandma casino. I stayed in the north tower rooms shortly after they were "renovated" using the furniture from the original defunct Fontainebleau auction. I love every tweak and refresh that has happened in the last few years, especially the carousel bar. The murals on the hotel tower are cool and i love that they maintain all the twinking lights better than they used to. Im glad to see her in such good shape.

    Nice Review. Stayed there many times over the past couple years, solid place. Concur with your impressions. Notably, only place downtown with single Zero roulette, drops house advantage significantly from 5.8% (double zero) to just 2.4%.(single Zero). Use your players card while playing games - Plaza is liberal with comps and food discounts. Host Ashley is awesome. Plaza is making an effort lately, and it shows. Similar to Grand Downtown Resort - also stepping up their game. All great news for downtown. Very useful video. Thanks, Jacob

    🏨Plaza is awesome!They were gracious last year with hosting your meet & greet with Norma, Greta & Pompsie. Oscar's is bomb with a bomb view. Niiiiice there is a non smoking section in the casino! More hotels should have this as more people seem to prefer cleaner air while gambling. It's a bonus for hotels too if they want you to stay there longer. Of course, great vlog job as usual! 🎬👍👍

    Jacob, I think that you honestly enjoy doing videos like these because you do them so well. I enjoy seeing the different types of resorts and the locations. More than anything though is the fact that I love your honest feedback about your stay. Much like the way that any of us could go through during the same visit in the same resort. You should do the fountain view room at the Cosmopolitan. It has an outdoor balcony that looks out over the fountain show.

No high roller, just able to find good deals thanks to your videos. 1 thing I'd like to request is in your wrap up at the end of your videos, could you include the parking garage height limit.many of us drive trucks, and where we can stay is dependant on if we can park our trucks there. We don't all all drive hybrid smart cars..lol
