- Filmed on June 7, 2018: This has been a TOTAL OF THREE casino hotels on the Las Vegas Strip with their elevators I have seen so far on my trip that are in the process of getting modernized!!!!! Sadly, you would have to show your room key to a security member in order to get on the elevators, but I spoke to 2 security guys standing in the corner of both elevator lobby entrance ways about my hobby and if I could get a quick video of the original 1993 Dover Traflomatic IV elevators before they are all gone, and they both let me! :D During the time I recorded this, at least 1-2 security personnel members were on their break time, so I am SO GLAD I got a FULL BETTER HD TAKE on these BEAUTIFUL, FAST Dover Traflomatic IV elevators!!!!!!!! :D :D :D These are definitely one of MY MOST ABSOLUTE FAVORITE elevators in Vegas!!!!! The cabs have been redone since I last filmed here back in 2012, but I LOVE the big square buttons!!!! :D I do not see any point of why they are modernizing these as they run just fantastic and are in perfect shape. Esp. being only 25 years old. As I rode the modded elevator (Otis Gen2Mod system) during the middle of this video, it traveled pretty slow that you do not even feel the pressure other than the old ones (Dover Traflomatic IV). The old and original elevators traveled WAY FASTER than the modded ones. See? That basically PROVES you how newer elevators today run and why I hate mods! Old high-rising elevators from the 1920's all the way to now were super fast like an amusement park ride and had real characters in them (original fixtures, motors, and other relay-logic equipments), and THAT exceeds my strong, valid definition is what REAL elevators are unlike the modern today ones. With that said, enjoy a final ride on these beautiful Dover T4 elevators before they are going bye-bye. Installed in 1993, to be modernized in 2018-2019 and so on.

BEAUTIFUL ELEVATORS!
I HATE TH-cam’S COPYRIGHT POLICY!!! THEY MUTED THE SOUND JUST BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC!!!!! 👎🏻😡😠🤬😤
Love those fixtures!
ANOTHER DESTRUCTION THROUGH MODERNISATION?! This is getting silly now. Awesome video as always!
I like those elevators that makes me happy :)
I (might) stay here at the Treasure Island this spring break! I have a bad feeling they all got modded, btw, I'll make it for your birthday, because I know you like Otis!
Yeah but I like the vintage ones better now. anything vintage.
@@JimLiElevators4/3/24 update: They all got modded. :(
The good news is the parking elevators are still original! :D
Sigh, so elegant, so awesome! The old elevators. I remember when I rode these in 2013 and so fun!
Music was muted due to copyright
That’s correct. Just the music that I needed to mute.

Gotta love the modernization!!
Love the mod... WHAT!? I thought you hate mods.
I was just kidding... lol!! Anyway, I am kinda disappointed that they are replacing these one-of-a-kind fixtures with these bland and boring buttons!!
When I was here last time, one from high-rise and one from the lowrise were both broken down.
The elevators are just fine original. Modernizations should be done when the elevator is in bad condition or renovations of the building are being done.
LittleRockElevators Renovations are being done.
I would not agree with the last reason, especially as many renovations alone are needless
WHAT!?!? I've never got a chance to push these buttons. I think the High Rises are not Gen2 mods because of maximum of 28 Floors. Eh, I guess the Series M2 is fine, but I prefer the Dovers. They use Innovation Bar PB 10 Buttons. They're DOVIS
Yep I’m not so happy about it. Treasure island is fully redoing their hotel
The lantern at 3:53 looks like an Old Otis lantern
Otis mostly always use the CE Electronics floor indicator when modernizing elevators.
And don't forget the Series M2 fixtures as of late.
Love the videos. FYI, Gen2s aren’t usually used on modernizaions. So i dont think these are Gen2s but I could be wrong. These have Series M4 buttons as series 7 /newer series 2/4 are not used in modernization packages, but yet another pointless mods
WHAT!!!!!!!!!! I never got to push the Dover T4 buttons
Dang everything is being modded
Were the original fixtures Armor?
They look like to be some Armor type, but I don't really think those are actually Armor fixtures. Got to be some type of custom buttons.
They nearly sound like Otis chimes so I think they used to be an older Otis then modded by the dover and then the newer otis
Sigh, another Vegas classic is being destroyed. I loved the beautiful call chimes for up and down. A shame that these are getting modded. More and more of Steve Wynn's works of art are slowly fading away. Wynn and Encore had there custom TKEs modded with MAD BS already. Mirage and Belliago are lucky to have them mostly intact. (btw, i found out that all banks of Mandalay now require a key to operate 24/7)
How come every few seconds the sound was cutting out?
I actually muted the audio. There were music playing really loudly and I could definitely get a copyright notice although not a strike.
@@JimLiElevators ohhhh. I thought it it was a glitch
Hey to avoid copyright claims I claim in my videos all music is the property of its rightful owner and I have never gotten sued
I stayed at Treasure Island in June of 2019 and the high rise elevator were the same fixtures
Do you know what's the current state of these elevators? In other words, are the mods finished?
The low rise elevators were all finished but the high rise were in bad condition and they haven’t even started to do the modernization.
Were there any Otis technicians when you stayed at this hotel? So the high-rise ones are in the process of modernization? Do you know how were these in bad condition? When I was here in 2018, I did not see any signs of wear at all.
There were no Otis Technicians at Treasure Island but there was a Otis truck at Caesars palace and the reason I say they are in bad condition is because the elevator button letters were torn off and my floor which was the 30th floor the elevator door paint was wearing off and the down button looked like it was punched in because It was stuck in. Also the indicator on one of the cars was broken. When I stayed in 2019 the high rise weren’t getting modernized but I don’t know if they are modernized now.
So you did not see any technicians when you were in Vegas the whole time? I actually saw like 13-15 of them when I was in town back in 2018. I also saw a ThyssenKrupp van off at Caesars as well. Mainly are Schindler technicians, but I've met 4 ThyssenKrupp technicians and one technician from this local company called Progressive Elevator.
How did you get past the room key guard?
Did you not read the description?
@@JimLiElevators sometimes I forget to read those before watching the video... That's cool
At least they didn't get modded by Schindler with the crappy buttons that the Paris Hotel got
Ive Went Here in like 2018
Do we need a key to use this elevators ?
You have to show your room key to a hotel staff personnel standing right by the entrance to the elevator hallway lobby.
@@JimLiElevators thank you are any hotel around this one that you don’t need to show you key and you can just come and walk in ?
Paris, Bally’s, Planet Hollywood, all towers of Caesars Palace, Westgate, Cosmopolitan, Flamingo, Circus Circus, LINQ, Harrah’s, Mirage, just to name the most are the ones I know of that are easily accessible.
Rip the Dover elevator
Why do they have to replace the motor with a slower one? Sure, it saves a little electricity, but it is much slower.
I have no idea. Slow elevators in a high-rise building just don’t make sense.
JimLiElevators i kind of hope that the SkyRise system for the high rise bank will be much faster
Yeah so I was here a couple weeks ago and only the low rise was modded. No sign of the high rise being modded
I ride the 16-27 elevators at the hotel 124
Same as 2-15
These aren't Gen 2. Its an Otis M2 elevators. They kinda have Gen 2 voices but it says "Floor 24". Also M2 does not travel more then 700 FPM. But it is just sad they are getting modded. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
DOVER WITH US CHIME
I don’t trust dover to take me…
But don't you like gen2's
Just the early ones from the 2000’s, not too much of the ones from the 2010’s.
Well I found an 1850s Otis which was modded by Dover but it was the same year these were built
Not gen2 mod. Gen2 mods don’t exist.
Yes, they actually do. Just search it up on Google and they will have plenty of results. I’m not lying. There is even a video on TH-cam relating to that too.
@@JimLiElevators ok
Yup I am so unhappy with this mod, these got modded by otis😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I wish I got the parts
The New Mod is so generic, boring and slow compared to the originals!!! And they ran just fine!!! Such a pointless mod...
That is what I EXACTLY said in the description if you gotten a chance to read it. I stated a VERY STRONG, valid definition of what a REAL elevator truly is. So LET ME ASK you this, what did you think of my strongly valid definition I stated in the description below?
Agreed.
@@JimLiElevators I totally agree with it!!!
Floridian Elevators And this video also visually proves it as well.
At least the speed travel is the same(500-800 fpm),and really needs a better indicator,you almost don't see anything,and better lighting buttons,will have voice,once you ride this modded one,you will love it,plus the new lanterns are awesome
