$12 for a slice of pizza and they have the nerve to charge extra for a crappy little packet of dressing? Uh, no.
$2 Steak, Baked Potato, Salad, Dessert & Beverage In ‘90’s At Downtown “Horseshoe” Replaced Nearly $15 Slice Of Pizza
As a non-local, I would say that Fat Tuesday is worth it. You get to keep the container, and you can reuse it at any Fat Tuesday location. I have one that I bring to Vegas every time, and I've saved a lot of money since refills are cheap. I have the mug shaped one though - much easier to carry around. I also have a vintage yard arm from my first trip to Vegas in 2008 that I'm thinking about sporting on my upcoming trip 😂
Fat Tuesday is the best bargain in town. 32 oz refill for $16 A couple of those and Vegas gets real fun.
They're so worth it. I recommend mixing the hurricane with octane 90. During the pandemic, fat tuesday sold the syrup mix online. Unfortunately, they stopped. If I would have known, I'd have 30 boxes of that syrup in my refrigerator right now 😢
@@The_El_Guapo
That what i usually drink.
I didnt know they used to sell the mix.
Love the video. I also really enjoy your new channel.
As a non local, I liked Gordon Ramsay's Hells kitchen. The beef wellington was delicious, and it was cheaper than the steak house.
Tyvm Norma. Luv your Vegas tips. I'm heading out your way in 4 days for the 80th time so I'll be boning up on all your videos. Please keep up the good work & Happy New Year to you & yours!
Boning up your videos is a crazy way to describe binge watching lmao
Great video, thanks!
I’m just wondering, at Dick’s can the customers be rude back? My husband is sometimes rude to wait staff and it makes me so mad, so maybe I’ll take him to Dick’s next time we go to Vegas, and not tell him about the rude servers before hand. They can put him in his place. Haha! Great video!
The editing with Lidia with that slice was priceless. Would’ve been more priceless if you said abracadabra and suddenly the slice was actually $5.99 😂😂😂😂
Great video Norma
Thank you Norma 👍👍👍
Thanks for the shoutout 😂 the ActionKid wax figure was spot on
I was hoping it would be at the Vegas one too 😂
Appreciate the honest reviews, Norma! Prices are always welcomed! We're always looking for new things to do in Vegas when we visit so we're always excited to see your vlogs!
Thanks for your Vegas videos. One thing to point out is that the Tastes around the world at the Coca Cola store had very limited hours. Noon-6p and we never got a chance to come back to try it due to our schedule. 😢
Omg Norma you are so funny when you said shrek was ripped 🤣🤣🤣 oh man. As always I love your videos! I love Las Vegas! When I was there when we met this last August at Posh Burger. I put in just over 102,000 steps! I hope you have a great weekend!
Awesome job Norma drop like and keep on going
Living in England, UK and never having been to Vegas I find your channel full of useful information and facts and it's so up to date which I love, you give such a fantastic insight as to what to expect when I do actually get there.
Thanks for sharing everything and look forward to watching everything that you share.
Get saving and go, it’s a great place to go, any age, any budget, you will find loads of fun things to do
Thanks very much for the encouragement, it’s something that will have to be done andI’m looking forward to it!@@stucam8110
This video reminds me of the time l tried to conquer the Coke Cola trays. It was an experience, sugar&caffeine rush x 100 as l honestly thought my heart was going to explode, so l wouldn't recommend trying to clear the trays!😂. Great video as always, with guest appearance of Lydia a bonus.
Awesome video Norma!!! My suggestion for a tourist attraction would be the Pinball Hall Of Fame!!! It is free to get in!!! Just bring your quarters and money if you want to buy a souvenir. It is definitely worth it!!!
Love seeing new videos from momma G!
Another great video from Norma!
Happy Thanksgiving Day 2023 🦃 Norma
Norma i’ve been following you since you started your the best at letting people know all the different things that are available for people to do in las vegas and your funny and a pleasure to watch keep up the good work. good job again Jim
Thanks for going over these places!! Keeps us from spending money on things that might not worthy ❤
none of that stuff seemed worth it. america got too greedy kinda sucks now.
I love your perpetual smile. My first time to LV we went to the sign, stood in the line and took a pic, yippee! You forgot about Fremont street, I like it but how many locals visit compared to tourists.
Outstanding reviews 😊
12 a slice is pretty nuts. Ranch and pizza is great.
the people who own las vegas are so greedy. i hope that place goes out of business someday.
@@buttface9434 oh yeah beer prices are ridiculous all over the strip now too and parking prices sky rocketed.
Hello Norma great video I remember taking my nephew to MM World in 2002 when I also took him to the Nascar Race there in March. It was fun Wishing you all the best Take Care
Always great content. And I agree with pinup pizza as I always stay at PH and it tastes great while watching sports at the Sportsbook
I didn't know that there was a dicks' damn I missed it
hi Norma! i will come to vegas on may 24. i hope to meet you! :) love your vids, thank you for the content :)
Great topic for a video
Protip for the M&M Shop, it's got a Bank of America ATM on the 4th level, so you can avoid the pricey third-party ATMs if you need/want cash
Yes, never buy a fat Thursday, its like 50 bucks for some ice and one shot of cheap vodka
I would love a video about Lydia’s favorite brands of Ranch
Norma..You’re the best
VIVA LAS VEGAS 🤗🎰
you are absolutely right about how sugary the fat tuesday drink is. i really wish there was any options of the same size but with just basic ingredients like just tequila, lime juice, crushed ice and maybe a dash of some jalapeño extract YUM!
Even a small size premixed frozen drink makes me feel so bad. They can definitely ruin your day.
Norma just you doing Vegas is good just walking around being able to see the strip and in and out of these places is good
Great video as usual!! :)- As a resident of Las Vegas for over 12 years now and as a rideshare driver for 10 years I have seen more than enough. I think the F1 race hurt Vega$ as it was the sole purpose to cater towards the WEALTHY Kudos to YOU!! :)-
The m&m store has a bank of america ATM too. Save on ATM fees from the casino ripoff fees. I dont know what other banks have ATM on the strip. Maybe a video topic to review best and worst ATM fees and what banks have their own machines.
Loved this clip much better than Travel Ruby.
Hi Norma, You should have asked for a free sample of the gelato. They should let you sample a few so you can get something you like.
xD. cool video. miss Norma
We have always waked into the M&M shop, and I agree it's overrated. I get bored. However we were there in June 2023 and got to go into the stranger things exhibit. My daughter was with us and she was floored. Anyway, carry on. Haha! Thanks for the video!
The Giant praying mantis, and the Moving Mannequins are cool
8 dollars for a scoop of icecream... wow! Dark red looks good on you Norma.
Yea and it wasn’t good lol
vegas is a massive ripoff. honestly i do not get the appeal at all.
@@NormaGeliTipping at fast food places like an ice cream/gelato shop is unnecessary. No shame in not tipping there. Nevada isn't a tip credit state so restaurants servers get paid hourly at least the minimum wage or more which $12 per hour, but most jobs pay at least $15 per hour.
That pizza though 😍😍
Thanks Norma great video. I have been to Las Vegas many times and have never stopped by the Las Vegas sign to take pictures. One day for sure, if not too crowded. I might have to try Pin Up Pizza next month it looks good. Periwinkle.
Great video!
I love touristy things so would do all these things but you really showing them has helped me to decide what everyone I am going with would like to do.
Definitely going to to the Tastes of the World tray but share it with 5 people!
Keep up the great work Norma 😊
Back in Uk now 😢 loved Vegas. Hopefully me and my dad will be back soon. Thanks for the selfie 👍 great videos
Hope to see you both again!
Wow, so many touristy spots in Vegas to choose from, so thanks for showing us a few to either take off or put on our list of things to do. The Bodies exhibit looks so interesting, but kind of creepy seeing real dissected bodies. Hmm...I'm wondering if the M&M store has any of my favorite periwinkle colored M&M's. Really fun video. Great job Norma!! 🌠
I hope they’re pink lol
They have every color
Thinking about buying Norma a slice of pizza when she visits Az.! hahaha :)
I think the Showgirls statues at Arts District or at the Strat would be a better photos for a five minute or less wait. The Peppermill cocktail lounge and restaurant is great atmosphere, food and service with easy parking - The Golden Tiki on Spring Mountain is great Polynesian bar with live music 🍹
that pizza looks pretty good!
Visiting next week maybe ill be in a norma video!!!
The Gelato at the Venetian is the Best👌. I worked there in their Design & Construction hidden offices behind the Sports Bar Walls for a year..and I would eat breakfast & Lunch at their Food Court everyday😋
Norma, have you ever rode the rail bikes? That looks like fun. If not can you do a video on that. ❤ hi Lydia 👋
Great video! Some places I should go visit again.
That Horseshoe Hotel was that the Hooters before?
I have been going to Downtown and exploring there.
Horseshoe was Ballys before
@@NormaGeli thank you.
I like how your videos are fun and make me smile.
@@NormaGeli And it was the original MGM Grand years ago.
heading out to vegas on monday! can’t wait. thank you so much for these videos they are super informative and hypes me up for my trip🎉
The Yard Drink Mai Tai is a must before going into a club.
Fat Tuesdays is a staple for me but I rarely get the yard anymore. The smaller cups are best. They go down easier and they're easier to pace yourself with. Take advantage of those extra shots though.
Thanks for always entertaining and informing me, Norma. Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and got to eat some periwinkle.
Good 👍 show
Definitely want to try that Jamaica coke!
Norma, can you do a video talking about how to get local discounts (where, which days, how much) for Las Vegas locals?
Personally I liked the travel tours outside Vegas for so many reasons. The freebie walks like M&M is fine...just see it. We did Madame Tussands..got half price because the check lady was from Wisconsin like us 👏👏👏😅 so thoroughly enjoyed it. Like you said...hit/miss, Do/don't. To me..going to grand canyon/Boulder dam/shows are musts. Nice cover again M.S. Norma + Lydia! 😊
I love the Beverly!!!
Pinball Hall of Fame definitely worth a visit for anyone remotely into pinball, or of a certain age. Highly recommended!
Great Stuff NG....Always Fun and Informative🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😎😎😎
Pin Up Pizza isn’t that bad of a deal considering the size. I’d rather walk across to the Cosmo for Secret Pizza tho
Thanks for the tour Norma 😊 ! Enjoyed the bodies 👍
I love fat Tuesdays lol. Though it is sweet. Never been to madame taussade and I’ve been to Vegas a million times. I’d like to see the hunger games exhibit. Maybe next time you can check that out. Neat video. Can’t wait to go next week
Wait, I think you do have a video with the hunger games exhibit. I will look for it.
Norma, you made a grown man cry….. but thank you for sharing your last experience with the entire entourage. Mirage will be missed. I myself stayed at least a total of 34 times
Dick's had a location in downtown San Diego and suddenly closed without tell the folks who work there. Some showed up for work and the place was closed, no warning, no nothing. It was kind of a Dick's move.
I love the M&M store and the Coca-Cola store - better than the Pepsi and Reeses store. Save your money, go to Italy and have gelato while you are there.
Great video! One you didn't cover, but is definitely definitely worth it, is the Pinball Museum. Great family fun and you can easily kill an hour or two if you need a break from the "madness".
True
Yo Fat Tuesday is the FIRST STOP in Vegas. I got the mug not the yard stick and just sip on that and it's fantastic.
This video is great perfect for a first timer travelling from the England. Please do more of these tourist trip videos 👍
The OmegaMart billboard behind the Las Vegas sign is another tourist spot
I actually have never been inside of Dick's Last Resort restaurant?😢 And I worked as the Project Manager's Assistant with Penta on building this restaurant in the early 2000s, I live here in Vegas!🤔 Thank you for reviewing it..
hi again norma can you please let me know, when are you in vegas(schedule), i plan to come to vegas anytime, if you can post your schedule, i appreciate it.
Big Coke fan who went to store. Bought the vintage coke glasses. Love them. ❤️
coca cola is the number producer of plastic waste on earth and also has given millions of people diabetes. they are a garbage company and should not be respected.
I think the aquarium at Mandalay Bay is touristy but my son loved it.
Kens ranch is 80% of restaurants. Needs to be the buttermilk style tho
We saw Madame Tausauds in Manhattan and London
1:16 That's what some pizzerias are charging these days for big slices, unfortunately. Spinelli's Pizza on Mill Ave. in Tempe, AZ charges about the same. It's the reason we don't go there anymore. It makes more sense to buy a whole pie, get more for your dollar.
Hi Norma! There is an ice cream shop located by the gondolas at the Venetian's Grand Canal mall. How come you never rated it? It gets 5 stars from me. Give it a review, as it is a must visit shop for anyone with a sweet tooth! Overlooking the gondolas is a bonus. Keep up the good work! :-)
I’ve been to Vegas like 5 times and have yet to go to Old Faithful lmaooo EDC weekend might be my shot lol & Tacos El Gordo has always had a line big enough dónde ni se antoja so I go next door jajaj
I remember paying only $7 a slice at Pin Up around three years ago!!
Very Fun🎉🎉😂❤❤!!!!
I think the gelato in the belliago is better if you want one
Thanks Norma! Love this video!! 💚
I love the Tall drinks at Fat Tuesdays..and they do last all day!! They're delicious..😋😋😋
I just spotted you Norma in another LV TH-camr's video.
If interested: The Laughing Lion's video titled 'Durango Casino and Resort Las Vegas, Grand Opening day, walk through' I saw you at the 17:33 mark as he walked right by you.
Small LV world, eh? 😀
Happy Friday!! Thanks for the tips. Looking forward to another adventure. Had a great time "Nora" 😂
I would recommend seeing the Titanic Exhibit over all these and also she doesn't point out you can can get multiple attractions at discount rate .. we did CSI, the Titanic and Shark aquarium for like 65 dollars and other bundles of others also ,, One of the main reasons to go to Fat Tuesday's is the refill of the souvenier size choice cup you choose.. I have the 32 oz and that has been going to Vegas last 8 yrs and pay half price for all margaritas . Wash out daily n refills for 10 days when we go ..
All these r 1 time visits unless ur getting gifts for family or bringing kids
A1, Keep the dark hair. Looking Great, Dude Dutch Dystra!
I feel like the m and m are tastier at the store vs bag. Lol anyone agree?
Been to the Coca-Cola store with a friend and we enjoyed the taste test. The Jamaica drink from Mexico was both our favorite. As for the Beverly, it's an... acquired taste.
For me as a guy not much into pop culture, Madame Tussaud's was not worth it. The one exception was the Vegas room with all the performers, although I did annoy an employee by mis-naming S&R as Penn & Teller.
Barclay ,Barry, Bert, BORT!! Ah C'mon! Bort!! damn mugs
