@@rolandlee5170 yes they do! We just prefer our private driver.

@@MrDonny27 you load as much money onto the game card as you want and those are included just as if you’re playing one of the video games. I’d guess about $10 just to do those. Or, if you pay for entry to the amusement park they’re included. A kids all day wristband is $19.95, adults $39.95.

@@yourfavoritelawyer5082 what if stay at hotel??

@@yourfavoritelawyer5082 like what included if book a room there?

@@MrDonny27 the arcade is separate. You have your pay for all the games even if you stay at the hotel.

You will love it!

This was last mouth😢

Yes. More young than old but definitely a great mix of older folks too.

Yes. Definitely in comparison to NOLA. lol. I grew up in Jackson, MS, so we traveled to Biloxi often. Very nostalgic! Such a hidden gem.

Topless is optional.

You will love it! We go every year.

They had the foam party 3 times while we were there. So I’m thinking every other day.

And is! 🤣

The crazy thing is there were leftovers!!!! People brought Tupperware and there was plenty left. So, while the portions may seem small, they were not.

😂😂. He was just there for the ride. He didn’t know Darius and just wanted to eat. Lol.

Thank you! When we went, the experience was $175 a person. You are right though. Before all of the controversy, I was actually a big fan of his. You can tell from my excitement in the beginning of the video. I had purchased all of his cookbooks, and had been following him for years. I was a fan, so it was not only paying for the food - it was the experience and meeting one of my favorite blogger/chefs at the time. Also, we live in New Orleans- the food capitol of the world. We eat great food regularly! I’m originally from MS, so Im a great cook on my own. We dine out often, and our tab is more than $350 for less food and horrid company. Sometimes though, we want something different. The experience was great, and I stick with that! The video is just a snippet. There was hours after we all finished eating where people danced, and Darius sat down and entertained and talked to every person there at every table. He’s actually quite witty (bet ya didn’t know he used to be a comedian and currently has a comedic album out still). The music, the drinks, the ambiance, my people - it made for a great combination of things that just made it work. Some of the details couldn’t be shared because of a copyright claim. The house we were in was also gorgeous and in an amazing neighborhood in New Orleans. It wasn’t just the food. He put a lot of thought into all the details Now does he have a lot of questionable things coming out now -ummm yeah. But all in all the experience was A1 and well worth it. And the food was GOOD. Seasoned to perfection. Seriously. No one can determine what is $200 plus worthy for me. That’s your opinion from your experiences. My experiences are different than yours. That $350 really was a very small amount TO ME. People will go to Ruth Chris and pay $100 for a steak and $20 for each side, $20 for each cocktail, then complain when a black chef charges $175 for his experience. That’s sad in my opinion. Thanks so watching and also for your honesty.

@@yourfavoritelawyer5082 the private chef I hired was Black as I believe in supporting Black people and not only did we pay for the experience we tipped extremely well because I am a Black business owner and want to treat people the same as I would like. The money isn’t the issue. My issue is the service and the food - which in my opinion is highly unimpressive. I don’t mind paying for anything if it’s done extremely well. I believe for 200+ dollars there is a level of service I expect that in my opinion this dinner would not have met that standard. I assumed most of the women there are paying for the experience with Darius because they like him. After all that has come out I wonder how many of them feel about that now especially as it pertains to Black women.

@@hannahdrake628 they probably feel the same as I do - shocked that he would be capable of such terrible things. Also, it’s important to note, your opinion is just that - yours. I’ve had dining experiences around the world, and tho you may not agree, this event was fun and worth it - my opinion. Would I do it again? No, but not because the experience wasn’t unique. I wouldn’t do it again because now I question who this guy really is and his character. I also run a lucrative black owned business. I wasn’t smitten with Darius. My husband was with me at the event. It was a simple matter of me being a fan of his work which I had followed for many many years. If Tabitha Brown threw an event, I would do the same thing! Also, there were many married couples there, and many men. I’m not sure why people try to suggest women are just obsessed with Darius. Some may be, but I’m not. I’m a foodie who has made it my mission to try almost anything once. It’s also important to note that this event is not billed as a “private chef event.” It’s billed as a unique dining experience. I found that it was just that, and my husband enjoyed as well. And $175 pp is not a lot to pay for a full night of eating, dancing, laughing, camaraderie, AND he tells u to bring ur Tupperware bowls to take as many leftovers as you’d like. I literally have about 2 hours of unused footage from this event that’s not even included in the video. If you don’t agree that it’s worth it,, your opinion is based on who he is as a person or on what u have heard - not actually experiencing the vibe, people, food, music, drinks, etc. How can u say “from what I’d expect” like everyone’s standards are the same? I didn’t go with the expectation that it would be a 5 star dining event. I’ve been to Emerils in NO to a tasting event that cost much more, was family style, and people had no problem with it. I don’t like what he is being accused of or many of his actions, but I can’t say that fact changes the fact that we had a good time at his experience. Also, why do people care so much about why people were fans of Darius? It’s almost like the people who hate him are just as obsessed as his fans. If it’s not affecting their pockets, why are people so obsessed with the reasons why. It’s a lil crazy to me - people hate him but wanna know what’s magical about him?! Weird. It was simple to me. I’d watched him for years and wanted to taste his food , and clearly I wasn’t the only one cuz it sold out in minutes.

@@hannahdrake628 and girl what do you expect for $175pp in NO? Clearly you don’t do fine dining often cuz that’s nothing.. you specifically said it wasn’t worth $200 so how is it not about the money now?

Did it come with drinks

@@hitthefloor5687 yes. There was a white Sangria or something. I can’t remember what it was.

Thanks for your sweet compliment. I stand by what I said about doing your OWN research then reaching a conclusion. This experience was well before this recent wave of accusations (some of which are old and have been disproven). I will continue to do my due diligence as I sure you have done. Thanks for watching!

Yes they do. They offer food and drinks upon arrival and departure. The first part of the video was the food and drinks we had upon arrival. They also get your checked luggage while you partake in the food and drinks.

@@yourfavoritelawyer5082 thank you!

Dec 2019-Jan 2020

No. We arrived the day after Christmas 2019 and left Jan 3, 2020.

Thanks so much!!!

Yes. If you book Riu Palace, you can visit all 3. That was the rule when we were there in dec 2019. They are currently remodeling Riu MB.

Only if you book at the Palace.

Thanks so much! We canceled the July trip because if COVID. We will be going back though as soon as we feel safe enough to do so.

Thank you so much for watching!!! We were scheduled to go back Jul 7 and had to cancel! We will be back 2021!

Ro Valentine Reggae was definitely a younger vibe, but honestly we had more fun at Palace. The Aqua Bar at Palace was live every night! (With many single people). We also liked the fact that if we got bored we could walk right on over to Reggae. We would pregame at Palace, then go to Reggae where the party started much later. I’m my opinion, the food was also much better at Palace.
