My family and I recently booked 9 nights at the Excalibur. Upon walking in, we were hit with the smell of cigarettes and pimps. On our 2nd night there, my 2 daughters were using the restroom in the casino area and one of the cleaning ladies entered the restroom. After my older daughter came out the restroom, she noticed that her phone that she placed on the bathroom counter was missing. When she asked the employee about her phone, she became very defensive and called for security. When we went to talk to the security, they were automatically defending her, and was so rude to us. Coincidentally, there was another guest complaining about her missing phone and she said that she suspected that it was also a cleaning person. The ended up trespassing my daughter because the cleaning lady said “she was in fear for her life”. We all decided to leave at 2am to find another hotel. One of the security officers name Keith was one of the biggest assholes I have ever encountered! We will be sending a few emails and making a few phone calls. They treated us as if we were staying in their hotel for free
Stay off the strip! South Point is awesome!
This is exactly the sort of experience I had.
That hotel is a CESSPOOL😡🤮
you should call her phone
@@mroie Yea no kidding....that's literally the FIRST thing I would do.
Went to Vegas last fall and stayed at the Bellagio. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and expensive as hell!! But I’ll definitely be staying there again for my next stop again. I’ve heard the horror stories about the outdated, crappy hotels in Vegas.
If you dont mind no casino i highly suggest the Vdara. Also owned by MGM but it's a hidden gem beautiful hotel with a mini kitchen
Too much to ask for these hotels to update their rooms and such? They have the money, so why sit on it?
I fully agree with your assessment of Tropicana. I was there a few months ago and it was disgusting. The carpet in the room had several stains. The chair had stains on it. The tub in the bathroom was cracked. It was truly awful. I stayed one night and had to move hotels. Do not stay there if you can help it!
A fight broke out in the next room from mine and my at the time boyfriend’s, security banged on our door and tried to enter, we told them “Wrong room! Next door! Leave us alone!”
you don't go to the trop for the "spectacular room" you go there to use the pool. back in the day it was the coolest in the world, with swim up bars and swim up black jack tables and tons of b1tches. who gives a fvuck about a stain on the floor?
Why would they remodel the place when it's being tore down
I think one often-overlooked point about Excalibur is that just like Circus Circus, there are a lot of children there. Now that might not be a problem if youre bringing kids yourself or dont really care, but a lot of people dont really want to be surrounded by kids for their Vegas vacation. Something to consider when deciding to pay a little more for a better hotel
Hey brother, I like what you are doing, your opinions are unbiased and even reviews. Could you do most overrated or overpriced hotel?
I couldn’t remember the hotel I went to in Vegas when I celebrated my friend’s birthday some years ago. And when you said “Excalibur”, I said, “THAT’S IT!” You were SOOO on point when you mentioned how it smelled like Newports. It really reeks in there. My friends had to get their room changed because of bathroom/ water pressure issues. But we had a great time overall in Vegas & we used the hotel to just sleep.
Born and raised in Vegas. I don’t mess with the old hotels. I get grossed out seeing old decor and stained anything. Mandalay, Venetian, Encore , Wynn are at my top.
OYO is a hotel company from India. The OYO Las Vegas was their first hotel in the US after they bought it from hooters. It’s common for foreign hotel companies to open their first US hotel in Las Vegas due to the high competition for hotels in the area. There was a lot of anticipation for the changes coming when it opened but of course they did nothing.
Oyo home lodge in Atlanta for the unsavory. Opened 2 years ago.
OYO should sell to someone from SAUDI ARABIA. That would fix their problems real quick.
@@coriander_shea Then they'd have to get rid of the casino
@@talalasad538 ugh what? wealthy saudis especially sheikhs spend MILLIONS a night in casinos if you think im wrong just google it and see the tens of newspaper / video / blog proof xD
Well, considering the ownership, they probably consider it to be top notch.
I feel like Circus Circus should have been higher on the list. Just thinking about that place makes me break out in hives.
Right! Circus Circus and Strat are trash! They were the first two spots I stayed on my first trips in Vegas.
Good ting U are a nurse 👩⚕️
@@chantayk Circus Circus is the first place I stayed at in 2002. Never again.
After YEARS Circus Circus is finally considering renovating the hotel.
I agree!!! Circus circus is just disgusting!
I lived in Vegas a few years ago and had some friends come into town to visit. They decided to stay at the Excalibur. The hotel is definitely very dated and dirty but that wasn’t the worst part. I went into their room one night and saw a bug crawling on the bed. Now I’m not saying it was a bedbug but it was a bug and it was on a bed 🤷🏻♀️
😂😂😂😂
Excalibur opened up cheap. What does one expect???
Wow sorry you had to experience that!!🥺
Yup it was a bedbug
Yikes
Of the hotels you mentioned, the Rio really had the biggest decline. In its heyday, it was one of the best hotel/casino. The club upstairs was popping. The World Buffet was the standard for Vegas buffets. I went back last year, got three free nights, I left two hours after checking in.
That is so sad to hear. The Rio was my go to for years. I loved the room size and won lots of $ there too. 🤗
Rio is absolutely horrible now but I agree many years ago was nice.
Thanks for sharing this, what do you know about plaza hotel & Casino and Mandalay Bay and platinum?
For awhile the Rio was the place to be seen with suites that many wanted to stay in. And the Mardi Gras parade up near the ceiling was something not to be missed. The performers hung from a track, and did some nice interesting performances. Don't know if that was brought back or not. A half mile walk up to the strip, if you didn't want to ride in the shuttle I believe they provided for free.
Yes I remember what a shame it has become, I heard they're going to try and remodel the whole thing and it's been sold
I'm scheduled to go to Vegas in 2 weeks. I was going to stay at the Excalibur hotel. Thanks to you, I canceled that and staying at the Signature. Your review was very helpful. Thanks a lot!!!
Signature is a nice spot
Hell no don’t stay there , try Paris , Bellagio or the Hilton Elara
Nothing wrong with Excalibur. It's one of my preferred hotels.
Went to Vegas for motherday weekend and stayed at the Strat it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst will definitely know better but I'm now thinking of relocating there. Looking for a nice condo to buy.
The signature is amazing! Only hotel I would stay in when visiting Vegas.
These kind of videos are very important. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. 👌
I've stayed in every hotel on your list, except OYO, which I'd never heard of. It was a long time ago. The Tropicana would have been my #1. Rooms were dingy and small. Driving into their parking lot, which was toward the Hooters restaurant, There was a stop sign, where your car is facing the window of a downstairs room. I saw a couple of ladies who appeared to be getting dressed. When I went inside, I knocked on their door, to let them know that anyone driving by could see them undressed. It was a group of Asian young ladies. They thanked me for my concern. As I walked away, they had a good laugh. It turned out they were pros, advertising their wares, in the window!! 🤯 I was shocked and embarrassed, with my naive ass! 🤣🤣🤣
This sounds terrible. Can you give me a Google Maps Pin 📌 so I can make sure the shenanigans have stopped.
(😹👍🏿🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
The ladies probably once worked in the red light district in the Netherlands😫.
My fist trip to LA I saw the nightlife, I said to my group, this is such a "happening" place, look at all the women having fun down the sidewalk at 1 am. Years later I realised they were working the street. This was the 80's and I was 15 and I came from a rural area.
What can I say? America has a lot of opportunities for people from all over the world! 😄
@@lorrainelamour7224 I wish more Americans would appreciate that.
My wife and I were very disappointed by the Rio. For all the reasons you mention, and more. Initially, we chalked it up to being in Vegas not long after restrictions were lifted, but after more time, and from talking to others who had been there in recent years, we realized that it was in a steep decline. Rooms were dated. The sofa in our room was broken down. Our shower didn't drain very well. Dark and dingy casino spaces. Very few table games. Much of the staff was rude and unwelcoming. However, I will say that the Voodoo Steakhouse, Comedy Cellar and bed were nice.
Thank you for saying this cuz I was just about to book a suite with the tub in the room... thank for saving my money, time, and experience.
So glad to see that others have terrible experiences in Vegas. Went to Vegas for the first time during the pandemic. Still lots of people everywhere, but my daughter booked us at the Golden Nugget on Fremont. The ONLY reason she booked there is because she wanted to see the swimming pool with the shark tank in the middle. She was told that the pool was closed. It did not state that on their website, unlike other motels that posted all their COVID information When we got to our room we discovered that we had double beds instead of queens (it was my daughter, myself and her son) so two of us would be sharing a bed. The room was tacky, dirty, and there was a hole in the wall under the bathroom sink. The entire room smelled moldy. We opened the curtains to discover all of the air conditioning units directly under our window. My daughter went back down to the front desk to protest that she had booked a room with queen beds and not double, the room was dirty, and the AC units were very noisy. The clerk was rude and said that they could not refund her and we would just have to deal with it. We were there two nights and she wouldn't even refund the second night. She finally conceded and let us have a roll away bed for no charge. Thanks for nothing. IF I ever go to Vegas again, I will definitely read all the blogs, reviews, etc. before making a choice of motel.
You messed up when you booked a room
At the Golden Nugget of all places…
I really don't recommend Vegas for a vacation it's not like nice or fun anymore, it's overpriced and the workers are just mean
@@cartierwhite_lasvegas its because you go to cheap places. i can already tell because you are complaining about price. i go there and spend money without stress, because im blessed. its not expensive to people like me.
@@fernandostudebaker5861 loo
Scratch that. Did not mean to comment.
I have been to Vegas several times in the past 25 years and have stayed at four of the five hotels in this video and I have to agree with most of your comments, the rooms and casino is very old looking. The biggest disappointment for me has been the Rio, I have stayed there several times and watched it dropped from a great hotel to a so-so hotel.
When you described the scent inside of Excalibur I started laughing cause it smells JUST LIKE THAT!!!! 😂😂😂
Agreed, to be honest though the smell of cigarette smoke hit me in the face the moment I stepped off the plane in Las Vegas.
@@oldgoat50 Okay,...nonsmoker here, I can't differentiate the brands. just meant that Las Vegas was the only place I've ever been to that the smell of cigarettes permeated the insides of everywhere. At least it seemed that way to me.
@@oldgoat50 Gary native too, lol understood.
I love the Park MGM for this reason! No smoking!
Stayed at Tuscany Gardens earlier this year. It was great. The rooms are dated but clean,the employees were pleasant and helpful.The pool area was great and the restaurants were all great🤗
Groupon always has deals for Oyo! I’ve never been to Vegas, but I’m planning a trip. I used to love the idea of a Hooters hotel, it seemed genius! This was a very enlightening video 😅
Hi Tim..., I totally "agree' with you on your list of the ( worst ) Hotels & Casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, for 2022. * Tim..., you were spot on, correct... I would ( NOT ) stay at those flee bag Hotels..., even if you paid me. Excellent video and very informative and honest opinion, and thank you for sharing the video... Mike in Montana :)
I went to Las Vegas with my mom back in 1990 and we stayed at Excalibur and when I see how far the hotel has fallen in terms of customer service and how it looks on the inside now it breaks my heart. Some of the hotels have become so sketchy in Las Vegas it makes me think back to the scene in war games where they decided to Target Las Vegas
I took a Uber to Circus Circus one year to visit the Fundome. The driver told me as I was exiting his vehicle “under no circumstances should you eat anything here from any place” . Once I entered, I fully understood.
That uber driver is wrong. They have one of the best steakhouse restaurants called the THE Steak House its really good.
@@savagelouie4498 agreed!
Dramatic asf 😂
We had to stay at Excalibur after a shady Airbnb vendor tried to pull a bait & switch. Needless to say this was not how I wanted my first trip to Vegas to go. Horrible, poorly maintained, shabby, DATED & smoke filled property. My lack of knowledge & last minute circumstances are to blame for staying at Excalibur, others seemed to be repeat customers who didn't mind the low end experience. I will never make the mistake of staying there again.
Thanks for the feedback. So the EXCALIBUR needs some deep cleaning.
@@coriander_shea Deep cleaning? The place needs to be cleansed with fire & rebuilt.
Just discovered your channel, and you cracked me up! Especially the Excalibur review 🤣 Subscribing!
I,ve been staying at the Excalibur for 5 years with no complaints.That,s were i,m spending birthday at.Yes it dated,But i happen to love it.i had a feeling it was gonna come up on your list.To me stay where you feel what,s best for you.Enjoy what you do, Do what you enjoy and make the best of it.
Thank you for your review. My best hotel experience in Vegas was at the Four Seasons hotel atop the Mandelay Bay. Worst was the Excalibur.
Wow! Great video. Thanks for the info. My friends stay @ Red Rock and raved about it! I guess my wife & I would try there. Sad. I’m on the east coast near Atlantic City and AC really went down over the years. Sound like Vegas going down.
Lol, I'm in Vegas alot for business and enjoy staying at the Tropicana. It's low key away from all the craziness but just close enough to hit the strip & the other casinos. Plus parking is free.
I've been going to Las Vegas for over forty years and your descriptions are on point. The Oyo I'm not familiar with. Excalibur is dated. Circus Circus is dated. Rio which used to be very nice and lively when they had the Voodoo club on the roof is now a desolate looking building. The staff was nice but it seems like the owners are not putting any money into it. And the Tropicana is a joke. The worst design ever. You should be able to check into a hotel without seeing the casino. These corporations are not spending enough money up keeping these properties. Treasure Island, a nice themed hotel is a little dated too. Save a few extra dollars people and stay at Bellagio or the Venetian, Ceasers etc. It's costs a little more but you'll feel safer because Las Vegas as a whole is a very shady city. Scams everywhere, thieves everywhere, crooks and robbers everywhere. You have to be very aware in Vegas. With that said if you do your research you can get alot of comp things and big discounts for shows and the like. I agree with your list 100%. Alot of people don't realize the moment you land in Vegas the scammers and thieves are watching you. Even the cab drivers will get you. The strip is five minutes from the airport but if you don't know the cab driver will take you on the highway for 15 minutes and charge you more. Truth be told they need to demolish the entire area and rebuild it. There was a time in Vegas if you lost all your money they would give you gas and food vouchers to get home. Since the government forced the mafia out and the corporations took over it's just another business to them and their only focus is to get as much of your money as they can without any loyalty to you. Go to Vegas it's a nice place but definitely keep your 👁👁open all the time.
I know you right. I will be in Vegas in November. And I will be at Caeser's THIS TIME. Because I will be spending the extra coins.
Excellent and very informative video! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Somehow I knew these hotels would be below standard, so I bit the bullet and booked a room for me and my bestie at the Wynn. Definitely no complaints here. The price was worth it (beautiful room with great view) and earned me reward points on my credit cards.
This was a dope video🔥
Floss planning his next trip ✍️ 😂
Been following your channel for awhile. It’s good to see your growth brother. I hope you get a million subscribers man.
That Excalibur roast has me in tears bruh 😂😂
Great reviews! People need to know, and your helping them stay clear from these and maybe motivate the owners to change. Circus Circus smells like Newports mixed with Carpet Freash and prime rib.
Thank you for being one of the few who are honest enough to put the Tropicana on this list. I'm sick and tired of people saying it's good, or even ok. The place has taken a big dump. It literally has zero redeeming qualities. Decor, gaming, dining, rooms, service. it's just bad. Once upon a time the Rio was great, but last time I was in there, it was basically empty and I had a homeless person keep coming up to me at a slot machine asking for money and cigarettes. Security did not care...and the rooms are downright filthy in some cases. I felt like the Excalibur was pumping body odor through the ventilation system in order to try and cover the cigarette smoke last time I was there. Arizona Charlie's on Decatur is the closest I've been to smelling as bad as the Excalibur with smoke. And there is still a big honking Hooters sign on the front of the OYO, they still have a restaurant inside. I think they sold it because they realized they had no business running a hotel/casino. The Flamingo is trying its hardest to creep onto this list too
The Marriott is a great place to stay, it’s a “vacation club”/hotel so the rooms are like apartments fully loaded with everything you need full sized kitchen with everything, I absolutely love the place.
We stayed there, not bad. We used Marriott points, I think we got a night free.
Just got back from the Marriot Vacation Club last Saturday. I’m a Marriot and Hilton gold member and needed a suite for my son tonhave his own bedroom. Had a two bedroom “villa”. It’s no villa but check in was a breeze , nice full kitchen , master bedroom jacuzzi tub and a walk in double headed rain shower. Really sweet. I originally booked the Hilton but after the reviews about horrible service , bad check in, and theft, I cancelled the Hilton and stuck with the Marriot. Glad I did. I Stayed there with my 17 year old son after a 2 week RV trip around the southwest and was very pleased. It’s right across the street from the miracle mile so easy access to PH and stores ( really for the daily slice of Pin Up Pizza) and a short walk to the Mirage and Strip. Can’t beat the location and the service was top notch - walk up check in and two bedroom suite ready hours early. It also was 1/3 the price of the Hilton who wanted $900 / night for a two bedroom. We were around 350/night before taxes and fees at Marriot
Wow Tim really enjoy this video I am surprised that you listed Circus Circus as number four I thought it would be number one but I have thanks for the heads up on the worst hotels n vegas
My company would always book us at the Circus Circus. I always said it was like sleeping a Walmart...same eclectic group of people, same discount products. I'm surprised that any hotel beat Circus Circus.
Bwahahaha… “sleeping at a Walmart” 😂💀
PERFECT description!! Truly a Wal-Mart feel and the SAME type of people. Very blue light special type of crowd!!
@@paige4128 that's k mart 🤪
Hey I want to thank you for these videos you have posted. I haven't been to Vegas since they remodel circus circus, lhh(1988 to say). But I'm heading back to visit family that stays there and never said anything bout the Rio hotel. You have given a lot of pointers and even through my mom found you and she normally stays with family she and I love this information your given out, thank you. You help my plan my next trip for labor day weekend
You had me dying the whole video. Thank you for the review. Just subscribed! 🤣🥰
If you are cheap, stay at the Linq or Flamingo. Center strip and budget friendly!!
Don’t stay at the Flamingo the Linq has updated their room’s
Thanks for the info. Was planning a trip to LV this summer, will definitely look at all other options. Thanks again for sharing
Excalibur and Circus Circus always amaze me how they have a solid base of families as clientele but somehow they don’t invest in these properties to make them nicer. I visited Circus Circus for the first time last month after visiting Vegas for over 10 years and I actually found it interesting. It had stuff for kids to do but also the rotating casino floor, the slots a fun, buffet, stores, arcades and the amusement park. My first impression was how much would it cost for the owner to throw down some new carpet add some new paint maybe a few new restaurants and update the rooms. Looks like per Wikipedia Phil Ruffin is dumping 30 million into Circus Circus to make it nicer.
My sentiments exactly!! There’s a lot to do at Circus Circus with her shops, Aventuredome, etc., but they put NO money into updating the exterior, interior and definitely not the rooms.
The Jockey Club is a hidden gem. Literally hidden. (Tucked between the Cosmo and Bellagio) It would've been torn down ages ago had it not been for it being a timeshare place, but like most timeshare places, they also function as a hotel because they want to fill their empty rooms last minute.
The rooms are literal apartments with bedrooms, bathrooms, and full kitchens. (Full size fridges, ovens, microwaves, with cabinets full of dishes.) It's a little quarkery but definitely worth it. All for the price of a room at the Cosmo or any of the other surrounding properties that may not even have a mini-fridge. I have never owned a timeshare but when I visit Vegas, I always try to get a room at the Jockey Club.
Stayed there with my friend once. It definitely was tucked away. Lol. But nice. We had a two bedroom/ two bath, and a nice big living room.
I have a timeshare and I stay at jockey club and polo towers, good bargains with full kitchens, eating areas, living rooms and multiple beds.
Polo towers is like that too and it was pretty nice. I have not been there in years tho.
We JUST got back from staying at the Jockey Club. It was AWESOME. We had a one bedroom with a full kitchen. It was sweet. Beautiful view, comfy beds, two flat screens. It was nice.
@@chantayk I have seen itbut didn't realize what it was. I was thinking it was some kind of strip club. I'll have to check it out
Bro if you show more clips from the properties while you describing them, it would be way better and entertaining ! :)
What can u expect from an amateur vlogger trying to do a review? He will b better next time
Very valuable info.now we know & tk u Bro.
Man thank you so much, I am planning to trip to Vegas and was trying to fine a nice updated hotel room. You were a huge help Thanks again
I always stay at Excalibur….works for me… I still have to agree with a lot of your takes especially the overwhelming cigarette smell…it’s pretty bad…
Great list Tim! Cheers!
Great info,thank you......
Thank you for sharing your video. It's valuable & helpful TIPS. I appreciate you greatly! Looking forward for more videos to come.
Im a local here in Vegas. Your apsoloutly correct. Thanks for being so honest.
Good list I think. I know people who actually like Excalibur but I have never been one of them, even when it was just a few years old. Fun video Tim.
Vegas Tips and Tricks yep I know people who like Excalibur and will disagree with this list, which is perfectly cool with me. But I also know that most people don't like Excalibur lol and I've been in there enough times to rank it 2nd worst
The Vegas Paradise thanks for mentioning the bad hotels. 🏨 Planet Hollywood is the best!
I recently stayed at Excalibur in April it wasn’t bad it looked like it had been renovated and I’m picky. My group decided to stay in Vegas one more night and we chose this hotel for our last night I wasn’t expecting anything luxurious for the price but I have to say it was a decent room for the price.
I heard there were renovations going on there, but only in certain parts. You got lucky I guess
I stayed at Excalibur in 2018 and the room wasn't bad, I believe it was renovated. The hotel itself does need some work done to make it look modern
I stayed last October and my room hadn’t been done but the bathroom had, it wasn’t bad. My kid absolutely loved the arcade there, not going to lie so did my husband and I. We stayed at Luxor too, we had a way nicer room there, but we still had more fun at Excalibur.
I enjoyed my stay there last year 🤷🏾♂️
My problem with Excalibur was it’s smell. Something about the smell was so off putting to me.
Great channel thanks!!!
I do agree about the Rio,it's off the strip and so not many people go off the strip.back in the day it was a blast.
Thanks for sharing! I've never stayed at these hotels, but have seriously considered the Tropicana several times, but decided against it, especially with having to pay for the resort fees. Now practically every hotel charges resort fees, even if they're not located on The Strip! I've never stayed at Downtown either, but have stayed off as well on The Strip. I've stayed at The Orleans the last two times I flew to Vegas. It's okay and I'll stay there again in a few months.
I guess you don't recommend eating at restaurants in these 5 hotels either, right?
Tropicana and Excalibur are actually nice hotels, great bars
I'm thinking of staying at holiday inn express on Tropicana E no resort fees
I stayed in the newly renovated side of excalibur with my family a few years ago. It was awesome. My sister in law stayed in the other tower and had a completely different experience than me and my family. Great list too by the way
Great video!!! Agreed with everything you said… I have been fortunate enough to of never even heard of the OYO and now I know!!!
I just got back from a long-ish stay at the Rio. The room was very big and it was clean (although there was one stain on the carpet). The a/c and the fridge worked just fine. The food at the Hash House, All-American Bar and Grill, and the Indian buffet were all very good; however, the Starbucks lineup for breakfast could take forever to move through. The "logo store" prices were pretty high but that's expected; I sometimes went to Walgreen's across the street for sandwiches, or to Chick-fil-A or Del Taco. The bus (the 202 Flamingo goes right by) costs $5 and you get a 24 hour pass. I agree certain sections of the Rio seemed a bit empty at times and a room right on the strip might have been better logistics, but all in all the hotel was far from the worst aspect of my trip
I totally agree as I have stayed at The Rio a few times & gotta say I think the Strat could've taken the place of the Rio on your list. I stay in the Super Suite when visiting the Rio for a stay and the room is nice & updated...the part of the casino going to thr lyft does look deserted but I think the hotel on a whole is not as bad as others you've stated. I travel to Vegas once or twice a month. I've never stayed at any of the others on your list except Circus Circus 🎪 which was back in 2007 which was my first trip to Las Vegas.
Resort fees have ruined Vegas. I remember staying in Vegas for $19/night back in the day. Now it's $19 + $50 resort fee + parking fee. Honestly, I'd rather sleep in my car.
I stayed at the OYO last October, agree with everything stated. The good things I’ll say about it is the drinks are fairly cheap at the bar by the sports betting area and that it is one of the last FREE parking lots on the strip.
excellent video and so very informative. thank you.
Fun story travel Ruby got stuck in the oyo hotel elevator in her recent stay
Great video Tim! I would which places of Circus Circus with Excalibur.
I agree with your list and thanks for the warning lol..... Keep up the good work and honest reviews
THANK YOU, young man, for a very informative & interesting video ! Kudos ! Good work ! It really is true : you usually get what you pay for !
So sad what happened to Rio. I used to manage a frys electronics and every year we would come down for CES. It was poppin back then!!
Best Tips. Visiting.
1) Make Sure you Request NO WIFI Service or get Charged Extra
2) Bring Your Own, a)water, b)towels, c)soap, d) wipes, e) sandals.
I watched this video without having seen any of the others from this channel, so watching it with no preconceived notions as to what to expect other than my own experience in Vegas, and I have to admit this gave me a good laugh. I was in Vegas four weeks ago. I stayed at New York NY and had such a miserable experience there that I checked out half way through the trip, got some of my money back, went over and stayed at Excalibur and had a MUCH better experience there. Yes, Excalibur's rooms seem older, but their AC worked, their plumbing worked, and they kept their rooms clean - none of which New York, NY could claim. Aside from not always having plumbing and finding my room dirtier each day than when I left it, the building also made lots of noise. It would hear the pipes creak and something that sounded like construction work in the distance that would keep me up at night (may have been the roller coaster outside). The New York does have a great casino and lobby, though, and yes, the Excalibur casino does have this 1970's booze and cigarette smell to it, so I agree with that. Comparing notes with others, I think the MGM would be the best in the area to go to, but if someone needs to save money, Excalibur isn't bad for that. I've had other friends on tight budgets stay there and they didn't mind it. The trick with Excalibur is just don't hang out in the casino. Jump over to the New York or Luxor next door for a good casino experience.
OYO looks like a hell hole, so I won't argue with that one. But it is the only hotel on the strip with $1 and $5 card table stakes, so if you want to do some cheap gambling it's worth stopping by (as long as its in the daytime. I definitely won't go there after dark).
I'm sad to hear how run down Rio has gotten. It was something special, back in the day.
Yeah, it was nice years ago.
Last time I was there was in 1999, it was great then.
It’s horrendous
The Rio does have a great view of The Strip, from your room.
Harrahs/Caesar’s never put any money into the Rio for updates or even repairs. I always felt like they wanted to drive their customers to one of their Strip properties so they could sell The Rio and be done with it.
Stratosphere needs to be on this list!!! 😂
We stayed at Stratosphere in Dec 2016. The rooms were clean and modern, we had free passes to go up in the tower. The food was good. I did not see anything wrong.
They have updated rooms as well as old ass rooms.
@@kelleyhelms3826 The neighborhood around the Strat is a dump and it us just hard to walk anywhere. The hotel itself is not that bad.
The rooms are pretty cool.. ive always had the updated suite. The neighborhood is whatever. But i live in Las Vegas so it doesnt bother me.
The Strat was my very first stay in Vegas years ago. It was decent then. It has since upgraded and definitely can be tolerated!! Dont sleep on the Strat. It's on the bad end. But for the money. I would choose it over Harrahs and Ballys among others in a heartbeat. This is from an 8 time visitor from NC. Just make sure you do the upgrade "sandwich" it will get you a nice room on a nice floor for a 20 spot!! Trust me!! Lol
GREAT PRODUCTIONS💯🎥thanks for sharing and giving the insight 🏆 CHAMP
thank you! I hear you about this hotels, very good advice! Thank you!
I stayed at Hooters back in 2018 or 2019, my first time going to Vegas as an adult. Even though I wasn't in the room that much, I was always on high alert when I was. I have only visited their Casino one time since then and that was during the daytime. That whole area is sketchy....as are a lot of the off strip areas.
Hooter is the best! Quality!
I just went to Vegas a few days ago with my kids and ur right it’s definitely not a place for kids 🤦🏻♀️ we stop by Circus Circus and it was horrible! On the way there sketchy people were passed out or going crazy, never again! Adventure Dome was terrible and falling apart.
@Mr. Nishimoto yikes 😳
Vegas is definitely a place for kids
Just admit you didn’t plan correctly for your child
@@aionnacasey1346 If I didn’t plan right what do you care ?
@@danielle_lb because you saying Vegas is not for kids because YOU didn’t plan right . Speak facts . Don’t lie because you don’t know what to do In Vegas with kids
This review video is spot on! I have also stayed at Excalibur and I agree! Its so bad!
You are spot on about these properties. Very informative video.
Your list is spot on.
I get everything you are saying and I agree with your ratings. However, the reason I go to Vegas is to have fun and I am not in the room all that much. My company has paid for my rooms for the past 2 decades sand I have stayed in the best of the best, however, once I have to pay for my own rooms, my budget at the time will unfortunately dictate where I stay. I can’t work extra shifts because I am retiring in December. If I have to stay at one of these places, I will make the best of it and party on. I appreciate the information, though, because I will try and use these as a desperate last resort.
Congratulations on your retirement!!
Thx 4 tha heads up 🧐🤯
I just got back a few days ago from Vegas and stayed one night at Excalibur because it was like $80 on a Thursday night. My partner and I actually really enjoyed it. That may be since neither of us have stayed in a "nice" hotel but we truly had a great time. We got a free upgrade to a larger room on the corner tower facing New York New York with a large bathtub in the in the corner of the living room. It definitely smelled more like cigarettes than any other casino that we went into but we both grew up around smokers so that part didn't bother us. Bottom line, for $80 a night we would both go back, but their weekend prices reaching $600, absolutely not.
Thanks! Bring us more. I didn't know VEGAS rooms were this bad
Was waiting to rip into as I was watching this. Bang on with all except #2. I've been to Vegas 43 times since 2012 and have stayed at Excalbur 22 times. Handful other places worse than them..Linq, Harrah's, I'd even put Luxor there too
Thanks for your insightful reviews
You are right about the OYO , that elevator scared me . I always stayed there because I couldn’t find a room for my son and every time I had to get on that elevator it made Rumbling sound and I was afraid it will fall or we get stuck
I had the opportunity a few years back to go to vegas for New Years, the only catch was I had to stay at Excalibur. I stayed home that year. 🤣🤣
Mike 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I stayed at Tropicana last year and honestly I don’t think it was that bad. I thought their pool was pretty nice and the hotel is in a pretty good location. I actually enjoyed my stay there
Yeah same
Yeah Tropicana got a huge renovation it wasn't bad at all
U right i dont know what this dude be talking bout
I actually agree with his video. I stayed at Tropicana when it was newly renovated in 2011. It was amazing and clean. I went back in 2017, and it was disappointing. It looked more unkempt In the main areas. I actually had to switch rooms because the first room was disgusting, and when we went to the second room it was also disgusting.
I liked the pool there. It was refreshing in the Las Vegas sun
your list is right on the money.. not one person of sound mind would stay at any of these hotels. They are better off renting in car and sleeping in it if they can't afford to stay at a decent hotel instead of the ones on your list.Thank you for sharing. I think you probably saved a lot of people a lot of money and for sure, you saved them a big headache and discomfort. keep up the good work.
I wasn't sure about your video but after watching it, you are 100% accurate. Thanks and well done.
I'm heading to Vegas for my bday in a month been multiple times but not since 2019. I've not stayed at any of theses locations but was considering the Tropicana. Decided on Park MGM since I'm seeing Usher there. Glad that worked out !
Good choice Bro, the Trop sucks....
Park is excellent and very freshly done and most of all safe. I loved it.
Absolutely loved Park MGM. I went to see Silk Sonic at the Dolby in May. I'm going back to see Usher in September. I will stay at the Park MGM again. It's excellent. Great rooms and service. I ate at Denny's across the street and on the strip. Have a fun time.
Good review 👍
You're so well spoken and I liked your video it would have been great if u had some videos to go along with this video at least some pictures..
Thanks for the tip.
I agree with you on Oyo, but I would of put the others in another order:
5. Excalibur
4. Tropicana
3. Rio
2. Circus Circus
I happen to like Excalibur, here's why. it's close to the airport, a 7-10 minute drive. It has a Starbucks, which I like, and if you don't, they have another generic coffee stand right at the elevator entrance to both the Resort or Royal towers. It does smell like tobacco starting in late afternoon onwards. ALL casinos smell that way to me! If it bothers you that much you could take the tram/walk to Luxor or Mandalay. Right outside the front door is the pedestrian bridge to cross the street to New York or MGM. The Duce bus stop is a very short walk from MGM. I like that it's at the end of the strip, less people. The food court is decent enough. I have been to vegas many times and don't feel the need to spend money on a lux hotel room.
Hahaha! You were cracking me up! We go to Vegas 9 times a year and when we 1st started, I would get those feelings often because I didn't know what was good or bad.
You have such a calming voice! Thank you for your video!!
I allllllllmost stayed at Rio. It was before I watched ANY Vegas content and yep it was the price that got me..soooo glad I decided to look at some vlogs. We ended up at the Palazzo instead. Much. Different. Lol
