Kudos to Shae from a fellow Saskatchewanìan, for gifting Paula and Dale with The Cromwell staycation!
Another friend here from Saskatchewan 👋
HELLO from NORTH DAKOTA - USA
@@Variety1985 Hello neighbor!
Nice to see you back, missed you last week!
I think you two have such a life experience worth sharing. I’m happy to hear from you both each week… you are the grandparents of LV!
Loved the Barbary Coast. It was a special place on the strip for sure! Who could forget Big Elvis? A very nice guy! I have not been to the Cromwell. The last time I was in Las Vegas (2006) it was Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon
$85 for breakfast !!!!!!!!!!! Wow
That's outrageous and unjustified.
@@otrebla8944They had cocktails too remember.
Way too much. Even with drinks, that is absolutely outrageous.
Our Chicago Brother in Law took daughters suggestion yrs ago for wife's BD : $800 with Bellagio view and light dinner and wines. Good thing he won $800 back in the casinos on the Strip!
I miss the Barbary Coast! It was a great casual place. We used to grab a couple hotdogs in the casino and then see Big Elvis perform and now breakfast costs almost $80. Cromwell isn’t my kind of place, but it was nice to see what it’s like.
The Barbary had an amazing Chinese menu in the coffee shop!
My daughter and I used to play nickel draw poker, grab a hot dog, and listen to the live bands. Ah....those were the days.
Ah, the old Barbary Coast, one of Mchael Gaugahns first hotels, had a great mentor in his father, Jackie. They had great service there, I remember Big (Pete Vallee) Elvis singing at the casino Bar, there, it was always full, very entertaining. The place is small, but it seemed very cozy, now it's not bad but it seems colder, more institutional, a bit less friendly. Great stuff guys, thank you very much Dale, thank you very much Paula, you two are the best!
We LOVED Big Elvis! We saw him on our anniversary one time and he sang to me. He sounds so much like the real Elvis. Miss those days.
@@nancyg1329 he still performs at Harah's
Thanks for the great tour I really enjoyed it! Those framed chips from the Tropicana are a great gift wow!
So nice of fellow Canadian Shae to gift you a stay at The Cromwell!!!! And the breakfast at Giada’s looked absolutely delicious 😍 Also, I’m not a big sweets person, but I do like Coffee Crisp and I had NO idea that they didn’t have them in the USA! Scott and I will have to bring you another bag of Coffee Crisp chocolate bars when we come back in December ❤️
OMG, a Vegas room with a coffee maker! I totally love the look of that room with the deep purple and what a great Strip location. 💜
I used to love staying at both the old Barbary Coast and Bill's Gamblin' Hall. Right on the Strip, clean rooms, $9.99 sirloin steaks, cheap prices (I once stayed 6 nights for $150 total!), and Big Elvis in the lounge! Those were the days.
thanks for the tour dale and paula as always awesomw
Thanks for sharing i can't wait to get back there ❤
Cheers 🥂🥂
My first ever stay and gamble was at the Barbary Coast!! I often wish when properties go through their remodels and such that the new version keeps some rooms and features as they were under the old. I'd check into a throwback/vintage room for sure.
A great video of the latest in Las Vegas from you this morning, and then tonight it will be a look back at Vegas history in a new episode of CNN's series, "Vegas: The Story of Sin City." What a combo! 😀
That Ole Red restaurant looks so cool, it's going to be full during the NFR.
Your videos are always top! They're so beautiful and so clear! Top quality 👌👏👏👏🤩💯
What a wonderful gift to you both! . Thanks for showing us the sights and sounds. We will check out ole red on our next visit! Stay well, best to you both❤❤
What a great gift from your Tropicana friend!
best sport to watch a sports event
So good!!!!! May have to watch this one again❤
We had room service at Caesars Palace for 2 mornings and it came from there. It was a great breakfast!
Really enjoying showing
I am originally from Montreal, Canada and Coffee Crisp is my favorite candy bar. I can find them sometimes in Specialty Candy shops in the US. Missed you last week. Look forward to your wonderful videos.
Love the Hotel Room :-)
We make it a point to request Rachel every visit. Giada's is our favorite place in Vegas, and Rachel makes it even better. ❤
Great video. Never done Cromwell. Really informative. And I think that’s a new hat Dale? Well done Shaye. Coffee crisps for the win.
Great show guys thank you!
Always informative and fun to go along with you guys. First class vids for sure. Tks. Karla in Cali.
what a wonderful gift I went to the trop when they had the foesbigetebut what i hope is that theyll not destroy the ceiling
New to this channel. I really like the way you give tours and just both of your personalities. Keep doing what you're doing. KUDOS.
Welcome aboard!!!!! So glad you liked the video. 😊❤️
Happy St Patrick s day
What a fun video!
We have so many great memories of the Barbary Coast. Loved playing $5 craps! Thanks and I really enjoy your vlogs. P.S. I had to look up the recipe for those lemon smashed potatoes. They look yummy and I hope to make soon.
Good luck and thanks for the tour. Mike in Oregon
So great to see Ole Red!
That is an amazing gift. Folks were kind and you did a great job.
Always enjoy your videos. Full of information.
Yet another great video you two!!! Thanks for taking us along. 😊
The Cromwell looks amazing, thanks for the wonderful video 😊
Great Video! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for another great video.
Thank you guys!! 💜
Hey friends 👋👋! We almost stayed at The Cromwell once… but Walt changed it at the last minute … imagine that … Walt changing his mind 🤷♀️😂! We always like to dip into the Casino on a hot day walking the strip to cool down with some slot play and great AC 😅! Giada’s looks quite elegant 👌! Absolutely can’t wait to check out Ole Red on the Strip! What great nostalgic gifts… so sweet🥰! Hope you guys have a great week! Love and miss you both! ❤️
Great video! 😊
such cool gifts you got there! great vid guys thank you
Always enjoy your informative vids. Headed to Vegas tomorrow!
Great video ❤️☘️
Great show
Wunderbar euch wieder zusehen 😊😊
Happy Sunday Dale & Paula 😊
Blessings always to Shae! What a generous person. xoxo
You guys are so great. Just adorable couple. Dale is funny.
My all time favorite place to stay in Las Vegas was The Barbary Coast. Stayed there countless times. Don't think I'd care to stay at the Cromwell, however. Just not my vibe anymore.
The only place we haven’t stayed yet! Might do it next trip! Thank you!!!
I loved the glass with cowboy hat. Love the bougie French room. Tres magnifique! Nice wins… congrats!
Loved the video, Giada’s is yummy, thx for showing us Ole Red . Missed you last week❤️
I love these recent staycations you guys have been doing! They are informative and entertaining! I love the rooms at Cromwell! They are so swanky and romantic looking. I wish they were a better price range and I also wish there were more options for both gambling and food at the Cromwell. I think that's why I have never stayed, but this vlog definitely has us reconsidering our thoughts. Thanks so much, you guys are great and hope to cross paths in Vegas with you someday! We will be there in June so who knows, maybe we will catch one another!
Just a great Video. I have been watching on a regular basis just haven't said much
One last it you two are Legends
Loved the video but I would have loved to see the menu at Giada. Maybe I'll just get the frittata, it looked so good.
I remember Bill's. If I am not mistaken, they had an Elvis impersonator right in the lobby/bar area.
Yes, Big Elvis! He played there for years, and he still does - but now he’s up the street at Harrah’s Piano Bar. Still draws big crowds.
Hubs & I frequently had breakfast at Cromwell when it was Barbary Coast - way back when they had about the only place open for food at 3 am! He raved about the decorations in the men's restroom...and was disappointed when it was "modernized". Haven't stayed in the hotel, but have always done well in their casino.
Now you need to try Hawkins Cheezies only from Canada yumm great vlog you two ty
I’m going to have breakfast at Giada. It looks wonderful. I always stay in that general area but never go into the Cromwell. Thanks for the tour. 36 days and counting 🎊 🎉
Really love the intimate Cromwell casino and the super friendly staff there. If you're looking for a cocktail prepared with old school flair, the Bound Cocktail Lounge is a must!
Love the Bound Lounge, I go there for my Comped drinks being a Diamond Plus card holder.
What a beautiful Sunday to start with your video!
As always excellent and thank you again for your hard work cheers from M and S from Toronto 🇨🇦 …🇨🇦❤you 💕💕💕
I may prefer MGM properties, but man, what Caesars is doing with Horseshoe and Grand Bazaar Shops is pretty awesome. Also, thanks Harry for sending and sharing the Tropicana mementos!
Love your stuff. Thanks
Trying to figure out the connection between the name Cromwell and Paris.
LOL we don’t see it either…
KENO ... KENO ... KENO ... JACKPOT
Dale, you both do a good job and you have a pleasant voice. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, that’s a terrific compliment 😊
So very cool gift!!! As always its great to see your smiling faces. I am very impressed with how good your editing has become.❤
Thank you - that’s a great compliment 🥰
Beautiful Gift 🎁 From Shae😊
Another great video as always! Will never forget Big Elvis at the Barbary Coast. Also remember Dale at WW Ho where I went four times a year to their events like HoWaian Luan and Grubsteak, & loved shaking hands with Hans Dorweiler afterwards..
Dale and Paula=BULLETIN for your Keno Players. We recently drove 12 hrs. to Harrah's New Orleans on an offer, only to learn that the STATE OF LOUISIANA has outlawed all Keno. (they said its too much like Bingo) We did stop halfway in Tunica, MS which still has Keno. I played a ton of four card last May in Harrah's NO, after our river cruise but all Keno has been ripped out since then.
Will always remember our brunch with Paula at Encore Jardin. All our best, Jim and Becky
This is amazing news about the keno, we had no idea - thanks for telling us. And Paula says hi! 👋
👍👍
Bravo on another fine edition of LVIAO. I applaud the wow production values;-)
Thank you, that’s a great compliment 😊
You both are most welcome😊
Bill's is where I hit my first fire bet on their craps table
Love the video as always! Dale has got to switch to Video Poker 😂 It’s at least better odds.
Another great video as always! And congratulations on your keno winning streak.. here's a new video idea! How about a four-cardino instructional video?
Hey Dale and Paula …somehow TH-cam unsubscribed me and I didn’t realize it . I was wondering why I hadn’t seen a video of yours in a long time. I’ve subscribed again so I’m happy . Great video. I’ll be at the Bellagio for a week in April so will definitely check out Ole Red . Going to miss Blake Shelton by a few days dang it . 😎😎😎
We are so glad you’re back with us - and the vids are always there on our channel for you to catch up… 😁
Wow! I love that room, so many chic touches. The tile job on the shower is incredible!! My husband liked gambling at the BarbaryCoast (30 years ago). Is that area where the Maxim hotel was located? We stayed there. Love your channel. 💕
Thank you for watching. 😊 Barbary Coast was in that spot in 1979 - Maxim was further down the Strip.
@@DaleMcKenzie🎲 Thanks to both of you!!!
Barbary Coast was the best
We absolutely love all your videos. How do you guys feel about Water Street in Henderson? you Must try the Triple B Dinner @ the Rainbow Club Casino! Best service and Great Food at the best rates, must try it!
This is Paula - yes!!! Water Street is on my short list, I think it would be very fun, interesting, and different content…sort of like we did recently with the Southwest Las Vegas vlog. Stay tuned!
This has been discussed elsewhere by other Cromwell guests, so I will ask. Did you notice that you can see into the shower from the bedroom? It is supposedly a tricky two way mirror to provide extra decadence. In my case, the view would be less than optimal. Lol
Yes!! Forgot to put that into our voiceover, but yep that is a two way mirror, and you can lie in bed and watch the other person shower!
Just ordered my coffee crisp minis off Amazon. Everything is within reach on Amazon lol.
Thanks for another great video. I have heard that Cromwell can be noisy when you are trying to sleep. Did anyone have that problem?
We stayed on a Sunday night, so Drai’s didn’t have anything going on the rooftop. We left that bathroom window open all night, and honestly all that bothered us were the occasional police sirens going by on the Strip! 🤪
Do you have to pay for parking if you stay or gamble at the Cromwell ? If so how much is it?
Wonderful video thank you for the tour.
Thank you for watching! Yes, even though we stayed in the hotel, we still had to pay for parking. It was $25.
Are you guys going to do the recent conservatory tour?
Next Sunday! Tea and Tulips 🌷 🫖
Hi folks, long time subscriber here❤. Do you guys do your own editing?
Yes, I do all the editing - in fact, it’s my favorite part of the whole process. 😊
Wait so... Ive been out of the news lately. Did the A's official sign the deal to build on Trop's land? Last I heard is the deal fell thru.
Nope, it’s all full steam ahead…we’ve seen new renderings this past week, and the Trop demo is being planned, from what we hear.
What dale is not included with the room? Here i thought so this is where Dale hides.
🤣🤣
Next implosion… Cromwell, Flamingo. Sorry kids … it’s getting old!
Sad but true
Circus Circus and Excalibur should go, too!
@@otrebla8944 No 😩I LOVE Excalibur! It was the first place I stayed in Vegas right after it opened. I would love to see someone bring it back to its original glory.
give me The Barbary coast
Is there a Keurig for 2 ??
This is Paula - we called it that because the water reservoir only holds one cup’s worth. There are larger models (especially the older ones) that hold far more. I write the scripts, so you can blame me…
How was the noise level from Dra's nightclub in your room? I have heard from others that you can hear it well into your rooms and late. What was your experience? Thank you
Well, we stayed on a Sunday night, and Drai's didn't have anything going on - so we can't really speak to that. We did leave that bathroom window open all night, and the distant sounds of traffic from the Strip was kind of restful. :)
Was the noise an issue with Drais on the roof? Any street noise?
We stayed on a Sunday, so Drai’s didn’t have anything going on that night. We left the bathroom window open all night, and all we heard were distant traffic sounds - actually nice for sleeping.
@@DaleMcKenzie Thank you 🙏
Is Keno easy money or is Dale just having good luck?
This is Paula - he only shows you the wins lol! He has had a pretty decent run of luck this month. 🍀💵
And did y’all go to Drake’s Dre’s for the after hour party? I could just imagine y’all in there., LoL
🤣🤣
The Cromwell has one of those pathetic gaming floors in the history of the strip. Caesar doesn't disclose individual properties performance, but I would guess any Dottie's in Vegas outperforms this casino. Walk in there anytime day or night and you will see an absolute ghost town. Who exactly was this hotel/casino designed for? It's like walking into a library, fun factor of zero.
This is where the homies stay , thugish behavior happens at Cromwell
