Not much the older hotels can do about the size of the bathrooms. Small is how they did them back in the day. This was a nice looking remodel for that small space.
I was thinking the exact same thing , can't move the pluming but they did a great job with what they had to work with and great job on all of the rest.
The Fremont is my favorite place to stay in Vegas. It's gotten even better with the room renovations and the new food hall. Glad you liked it there. Definitely a hidden gem of Vegas.
I spotted a legend at 04:28, Mr. Anthony Curtis! If you want to know about gambling (specifically advantage); AC is the person to talk to. Although, I suspect he prefers the buffet to the new food court. Video poker it's important to pay attention to the pay tables. The ideal pay table for bonus poker is 8/5 (coins for a full house/flush). You were playing 7/5 bonus poker. Invest in a video poker simulator to ensure you are playing the optimal strategy and practice, practice, practice. The royal flush in my pic was on a 9/6 Jacks or Better (99.54% expected return) at a Chicago casino. Luck favors the prepared.
We stay at every few months. Love it there…1 . Plus on the bathrooms…yes they are small…but the new shower has a shower head that is flexible..and my husband is over 6’5”. And he can use the shower head comfortably
We were just in downtown the week of 1/15/23 celebrating my 65th birthday. We always get comped at the Golden Nugget. During our stay we visited the new Fremont food hall. It was so nice, clean and fresh. We enjoyed our favorite, Steak n Shake food. I just wish the Freemont had better minimums on the table games. We are 5-10 dollar gamblers. Thanks for your review!
Was that The "OG" Anthony Curtis (famous card counter and publisher/host of the Las Vegas Advisor) throwing away trash at the food court @ 4:27? That dude has been bringing Vegas junkies all the news from the dingiest casinos to the palatial palaces of the strip since before the internet! I believe he also advises Mattress Mack on his sports bets.
It was I know Him and I had to check. Met him a few times thru is LVA newsletter. He has to eat as well LOL I was there on Jan 24/23 for the day (Fremont steet) stayed at MGM not a fun place
Fremont Hotel has been our go to hotel for years. My wife and I love it there. All the employees are incredible! We've never had an issue with anything. We were out there this past September and will be back again this year.
I've never stayed downtown because I thought the hotels and casinos were a bit of a low end experience. But with more of these videos I watch, I'm thinking I will give downtown a try. Plus the strip is getting expensive.
I use to be a snob about downtown till I started getting offers for rooms & tried them out. Now I only stay downtown! I have more fun & the money lasts a lot longer. Slots are looser & comps add up faster downtown & our rooms are always free. The only food we pay for is our Dunkin donuts & coffee in the morning 🌅!
The only downside to Downtown is the pool situation. Only Circa and Golden Nugget have a big pool area. The others (that actually have pools) are more like your standard Holiday Inn pool.
I don't know if you noticed, but Anthony Curtis from The Las Vegas Advisor is at the left of the screen at the 4:26 mark, turning away from a counter. Very cool to see in the same video another Vegas TH-camr we watch (and of whose Advisor are members with)
Thank you for this video. I appreciate your work, so I subscribed. Steak & Shake is a great option, I enjoy their breakfast. I'm sharing this video with my wife, we'll definitely consider staying here.
Thanks Ms. Ruby !! Downtown is a great choice to stay if you like the Historical aspect of Vegas. A lot has changed, but the "memories" are still there. I appreciate the great reviews !!!
If you are staying in Vegas in the winter non pool season and just going to gamble and drink and on somewhat of a budget then you just want to stay somewhere in a good location. Not sure I'd do the Fremont unless I was getting a real bargain but everything is so close downtown it really doesn't matter where you stay you can walk across the street to gamble unlike the Strip where across the street can be a 15-20 minute walk sometimes. Ruby, please review the Downtown Grand sometime. Have heard its a small but underrated gem and nice with low room rates and cheap table minimums.
trying to convince my wife to stay downtown when we come to town..she likes spending a day there, but not sold yet on staying there for our trips there. I personally love El Cortez; it's close to freemont without being on freemont and has a great old school feel.
Wow! Super impressed with the room renovations and the new dining options! I am a Vegas local...haven't stayed at the Fremont since 2020...great to see the new updates and looks way better than the last time I stayed there! Love all your videos !!!
For video poker try Jacks or Better and max bet. Have you guys ever stayed at Four Queens? Rooms are bigger (in the tower away from Fremont), recently renovated and NO resort fees. You can use the rooftop pool at Binion's too.
Thanks for the review Ruby. l like the fact that food options are reasonably priced and casino looks nice and clean. The hotel price of $90 per day is reasonable for downtown.
Hearing you say the old downtown hotels don't have pools makes me think of how exciting it must have been when the Strip built it's first hotel with the big pool out in the back yard. WOW. Then very soon after the second resort was built with an even bigger fancier pool. The hotels on Fremont must have seen a severe drop in customers at that time. It's so cool to think of the incredible excitement people must have felt with being able to swim in beautiful pools for the first time in their lives probably, in beautiful surroundings, because I get that same excitement and wow feeling when I go into the Mirage pool!!!!!!!!
Glad you had a good meal. I ate at Tony Roma's in September. Had the top sirloin. It was the worst steak I've ever had anywhere. It was so tough. I chewed each bite, but couldn't chew through the toughness and had to spit it out. Left a pile of chewed meat on the plate. Couldn't flag down a server, so just left hungry. Prime rib may be better, but I'm not anxious to go back.
I stayed at Fremont a few weeks back. The new food court and sportsbook were really cool upgrades. It looks like they are still working on upgrading the casino. It's our go to spot when we stay in Vegas. Really great video. Great job!
I have stayed at the Fremont multiple times. Last time was a year ago I stayed in one of the new renovated room. Way toooo small I thought it was a joke I went to complain and they told me all new rooms are the same size. And the charge resort fees now. Ruby got a big room compared to what I got. I love downtown but for the smaller rooms and bigger price I’ll stay somewhere else downtown. I love staying downtown
The problem with Fremont for me is the blaring noise until like 3am. On the 3rd floor you definitely gonna hear it big time. Tony Roma's is pretty good and not that expensive.
Not just loud but super loud.. -- I've been in that area different times and stayed in hotels and it's like they're beating a bass drum about five feet from your window.
@@judyfroemming7756 Shows you everything you need to know just by the fact that these places stay in business. A room with a bed to sleep in, but having extreme noise going on sounding like it's right out your window until 3am. Makes sense. What is wrong with people? How can any normal human being sleep in those conditions? It's freaky as hell.
I love King rooms, they are for the most part so unpredictable at times. I feel like these are hidden features and are very subtle between a King room catered to one person, and then a little more spacious for a secondary!
My dad is a major fan of the Fremont. I’m glad that they renovated the rooms. In the past, i remember experiencing dust from all the paintings and the bathroom (though still tiny) looked mature between a cross off a public restroom and an airplane bathroom. I’m hoping to stay there on my next visit.
Travel Ruby! The wife and I absolutely love your videos and content. You do such a great job on your videos. Thank you for the content and inspiration! BTW you should do a meet and great with yourself and Mr. Ruby, we would definitely attend! Take care!
re: video poker, Triple Double Bonus has the best payout, some places just don't have that game (i.e. Southpoint) but a lot of places do. If they don't have Triple Double Bonus then Double Double Bonus is the next choice. Good Luck!
Ive worked security in a few Fremont St casinos, here's a tip get a room up as high up as you can and do not i repeat do not get a room facing Fremont St if you want any sleep. Ask for a room on the back sides of the property.
Well done.... looked like fun and not packed. The dinner looked so good as did the lunch. Price for food was reasonable with good portions. Thanks for doing a great review.
My sister & I have stayed there many times & the small bathrooms don't bother us at all! Our rooms are always free & no resort fees! Haven't seen the food court since the renovation, looks really nice 👍. We like getting D.D. in the morning. Thanks for the update, Ruby!
I miss all the great restaurants and gaming in Vegas,I drove from Dalton ga. To the west coast every week for 26years, and Vegas was one of the main stops for carpet conventions.
@@edwardeighth1948 no lol. Look up Las Vegas advisor. He has a TH-cam channel too. He was right behind her while she was eating in one of the restaurants
Hey Ruby...Your videos are great and informative. Did you happen to notice the guy in the background at the food court is Anthony Curtis? Las Vegas Advisor creator?
I stayed at the Fremont over 10 years ago with my daughter. Our bed was on the floor. The closet was a hole in the wall with no door. The bathroom looked like a crime scene.😂😂 I was ready to go when we arrived but my daughter just loved it.🤯 The room was $19. That $99 is a huge jump!
Hotel vlogs are back babyyyyy!
_"Yessss....." -Morpheus_

Thanks Ruby. Your our goto for info on LV. Always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

You shouldn’t spend much time in your room when in Vegas. Even less in the bathroom!
@@hoofhearted1833 Depending on how much you have to drink. haha
As long as nice shower it's ok.
Thanks Ruby I’m at the Fremont now for St Patrick’s Day ☘️ location location location the room is great btw !
It’s Anthony Curtis ( Las Vegas Advisor ) at 4:27 !!
Tony Romas worth the wait price is good Prime Rib and Steak Lobster a must
The Fremont is my favorite place to stay in Vegas. It's gotten even better with the room renovations and the new food hall. Glad you liked it there. Definitely a hidden gem of Vegas.

Love that you are starting to cover the sportsbook at each of the hotels!
Yes !
Nice job Ruby. The room looks nice. 90 Bucks is a great price.
Very nicely done. Loaded with lots of useful information. Thanks!

Great video. No one goes to Vegas for the hotel room. All you do there is sleep and shower, All excitement on the Strip. Thank you. God speed
Ruby, thanks for going to all these different places to stay! Gives me so many options when visiting. Thank you.
Excellent review Ruby! Really like the Huey Magoos option! THANKS

Ruby. The reviews are always amazing. Hands down.
I do really like Fremont… I like the hotel and casino!
Ruby is correct. For the price point, Fremont (and downtown casinos) is an excellent value.
But it's noisy. You have to request a room away from Fremont St.
Looks like a good winter hotel. But in the summer, it's the Golden Nugget because of their great pool area.
Do sleep very well at Fremont close to everything good food good help great comps
oooh niice update to the rooms!!! thx for sharing!
Thank you for pointing out the table minimums on 3:2 blackjack. Nice touch, good info.
Was that Anthony Curtis in the food hall?
Ruby can get video poker tips from AC.
Thanks Ruby! For a great video of new eateries at the Fremont hotel.
Looks very fresh and clean nice room to be in Fremont 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
At 4:27 - Is that Anthony Curtis? Las Vegas Advisor? What a small city Las Vegas is.
Yep, U beat me to it.
So happy that your videos are now coming regularly, I was missing them.
Excellent review Ruby! Love video poker. Good way to chill at the bar.😊
Great video. Really balanced review. Thanks as always
Glad to see another hotel review it’s been a little but really enjoy them
Excellent review. Moved along and was not boring at all. Thank you.
I LOVE that you're always dancing in the elevators!!💜
Ate there 6 years ago and it felt like I time traveled to the 70's glad they renovated
Keep going Ruby!!! Love it!
thanks for a great video and fremont is a great choice for down town thanks again.
Wow! Super impressed with the room renovations and the new dining options! I am a Vegas local...haven't stayed at the Fremont since 2020...great to see the new updates and looks way better than the last time I stayed there! Love all your videos !!!
The Tony Roma’s in my area of my city shut down, I didn’t realize how much I missed it till I saw your food 😂
Another great review keep em comming Ruby!!!
You really do a good job on showing and visiting casino hotels and restaurants. Thanks
I like your channel and your personality! Keep it up, Mrs and Mr Ruby! :)
wow surprisingly the rooms are super nice.
Thank you for your info. Love the waves in your hair. I wish I knew how to do that.
Grew up in South Florida with Tony Roma's... its a chain but still good. Next time... get the Onion Loaf... that's the way to go!
Nice job on this video!
Also love the hotel vlogs. We visit 3 or 4 times a year and love to see dif places to stay nd enjoy. Thx again!!!!!

My uncle stayed at Freemont, worst mistake, noise too loud so he went to nugget in middle of night
Double Double Bonus Poker is my favorite! Extra payouts for different types of 4 of a kinds.
Thanks for the review Ruby. l like the fact that food options are reasonably priced and casino looks nice and clean. The hotel price of $90 per day is reasonable for downtown.

Thanks for the tour. We have a family reunion planned at the California in December.

I like these shows with Ruby.
Great Review Ruby glad they are back. Keep them rolling visiting Vegas in May cannot wait greetings from the United Kingdom.
This was a fun one. Please try to stay at Binons and their steakhouse down there. Fab!
In video poker, look for a "9-6 machine," which means you look for a pay table of Full House-9 AND Flush-6.
Cool, it's been eons since I stayed there. Thanks for another great vid. Much love to you and the Mr.
Miss the buffet there but the rooms and the food court look nice!
I lover Tony Roma's , unfortunately they closed all of their other locations around town several years ago , not sure why but their ribs are the best.
I stayed at Fremont a few weeks back. The new food court and sportsbook were really cool upgrades. It looks like they are still working on upgrading the casino. It's our go to spot when we stay in Vegas. Really great video. Great job!

Try Hennessy’s which is close by- it’s an Irish pub, which has great food and live music most nights!

My parents stayed there in the 1980’s. The rooms back then were the size of a closet. It looks ok, now.
My go-to VP game is JoB, then DW. Thanks for the vid - the Fremont looks like it is on the up.

Very good price!!!! It is a nice place to stay now that is has been updated.
I havent been to Las Vegas since the shutdown, This makes me want to plan anew trip. Thank you!

Tony Curtis of Some Like It Hot?
@@edwardeighth1948 no lol. Look up Las Vegas advisor. He has a TH-cam channel too. He was right behind her while she was eating in one of the restaurants
Great 📽Video Review Of The Fremont 🏩 But No Adjoining Door Room For Me I Remember The Old Movie 🎬 Vacancy 🥶🤣
love your travel channel thanks
I've always stayed on strip but I may try out staying at fremont hotel. There are a lot of variety food options in downtown.

😆😆Over 10 years ago? Heck, back then you could probably get a Prime Rib dinner for $3.99 and table minimums were $5. Covid changed everything.
