We are going to try this place when we reschedule for September ... chose to make it a Birthday trip ..... Great video!! You guys are so so great... i'm a forever supporter ...❤
Your support through views and comments means the world to us, Malik! We’re glad to hear you’ve rescheduled your trip. We’ve been thinking of you and hope things are looking up:)
I’ve stayed there twice. Very nice and comfortable. Good location. Once had a room like yours. Once had a room facing Koval. It was smaller and pretty noisy but we had a great view of the New Year’s fireworks from our balcony! Yes Gold Mine was good.
We actually toured this property last year. Never stayed though. It is nice and can’t beat the location for an off the Strip property 👍! That is a whopper tub 😮😅! Thanks for showing us around. 👍👍👍
Great video! Just wanted to let you know my brother and tried the Irish pub between Luxor and Mandalay Bay on your suggestion, FANTASTIC choice! I will be taking my wife there next trip!
We’ve only had a car once while staying here. We weren’t charged for parking, but it was years ago. I think parking is usually free at the off-strip properties.
Maybe you’ll get the regular tub. We’ve stayed here several times and this is the first odd-sized tub we’ve had. Either way, we hope you enjoy your trip and thanks for watching!
The video shown does show a table in the corner,I have seen another video with a table and chairs and a fridge directly behind it!,have they revamped the rooms since?,What room is featured in the Video as there are quite a few combinations?.
Just checked out the floor plans available on their website and it looks like this must have been the one bedroom deluxe. If you click on each room, the floor plan is at the bottom of the description. Weird, because I don’t remember booking a deluxe and our reservation said we were in a studio! That’s definitely not the case. Sorry for the confusion:)
We took a tour of the Holiday Inn Vacation Club, last year. We have IHG rewards, so we did the tour. Very nice place, but we didn't buy. Thanks for the video!
@The Midlife Ride It was definitely 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours long. We were expecting that. It was actually a very interesting presentation, and while we had to sit through several pitches, I didn't think it was too aggressive, compared to some others we went on at least 10 years ago in Gatlinburg. We got our $200 cash and left. The only one we ever seriously considered buying was a timeshare at Myrtle Beach by Marriott. It was nice. Sorry, for the long answer!
We weren’t doing a presentation. We exchanged points through RCI for the week. We have a timeshare that we took over from a family member (we didn’t buy it ourselves and would not recommend buying one.) We have heard from some guests here that the timeshare reps can be pretty aggressive, so be prepared for that. If you aren’t interested in buying, start practicing your NOs now:)
@@TheMidlifeRideloved this review. We were PRESSURED so hard to buy into this timeshare. Too good to be true…was too good to be true. If you don’t mind sharing how you got this from a family member that would be great. We would love to give ours away😂
@@theverch1 Chris’ parents bought a timeshare in FL years ago. It was paid off and they didn’t want it anymore. So, they transferred the title to us and now we’re paying the maintenance fees every year. We were using it a lot, so it worked out for a while. But, we can’t anymore because of our dog so we’ll probably try to get rid of it, too.
Go Knights Go! 🏒 Wow we stayed here last year and our room was different... First of all we didn't have that crazy large tub/shower, and our fridge door opened the wrong way towards the wall 😆 Overall though it's a pretty good property, thanks for your tour👍
We’ve stayed here several times and never had a tub like this either! The fridge door sounds like ours at home. It’s up against the wall and we can’t open it past 90 degrees so we can’t get the fruit drawer out to wash it. So annoying!
My goodness, I see now why you keep Cathryn under wraps. She is absolutely stunning in that quikee tease shot of her by the pool. Your vids are entertaining and informative. I can appreciate the fact that TMR doesn't try to capitalize on Cathryn's sexiness, because Lord knows you easily could. Much respect to you both, keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much for watching and for the compliments:) A quickie shot here and there is all I can handle-and only if the pools are empty. I prefer to have all my parts covered while in public!
@@paulbruton1981 Do you know where Ellis Island is? This property is on the same road. Just one block away, behind the Linq Promenade. When we walk to the strip, we enter near the High Roller.
We don’t usually mention cost because they fluctuate so much. The link is in the description so folks can check prices and availability. A week I checked this month was about $250 a night after taxes and fees.
I stayed there in 2023 & 24. I took the presentation in 23 & as a business owner, foundvit to br a no brainer to buy into their "timeshare". It's not the traditional type that you buy a week of time. You buy points that can be use anytime or converted (for a fee) to use at IHG hotels. As i go to Vegas for a business expo, I purchased this for business purposes.
It’s a really nice property. We have a timeshare in FL and purchase the point system through RCI. Definitely seems like a better deal than just using one week a year. We’ve gotten so many weeks with points all over the country and beyond. Unfortunately, we’re unable to use it much anymore because very few properties allow dogs.
My spouse and I are highly interested in taking a week vacation in Vegas, I earn IHG rewards through my hotel stays for work..the plan is drop the bomb on free vacation and get loose.. Question did you submit the video from the restaurant at Holiday inn?
Thanks for watching:) We didn’t film our food from Gold Mine. We had a lot going on that week and just forgot. We took our food to-go and ate in the room. Think we got the quesadilla and the cheesesteak. Both were pretty good and the prices weren’t too bad either. The restaurant itself looked like a nice place. Small, with regular tables and bar seating. Quite a few folks watching sports at the bar. We’ll definitely go again on our next stay!

Stumbled on your channel last night, enjoyed it. Good luck, will spread the word.
Nancy! So nice to hear from you. Hope you’re doing well. We’re in Vegas right now:)
@@TheMidlifeRidethats awesome, my next trip is at the end of October!!! Retirement is awesome!!!
@@nancymarinaro47 Glad you’re enjoying retirement! October is a great month for Vegas:)

Beautiful couple, love the vlogs!
Thank you for watching and commenting:)
I'm staying here in 2 weeks. Thanks for the tour. I'm glad they have that side door for the restroom.
We hope you enjoy your stay and thanks for watching!

Yes Gold Mine was good.
Glad you enjoyed your stays. We bet it was a great place to watch the fireworks! Thanks for watching:)

It was nice to be away from the strip, especially on this trip. Thanks for watching, Tina:)
Gee, that tub was peculiar. 🤣
@@courtneykirk478 nice to hear from you, Courtney:)
Great video! Just wanted to let you know my brother and tried the Irish pub between Luxor and Mandalay Bay on your suggestion, FANTASTIC choice! I will be taking my wife there next trip!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know:)
Very informative, thank you. I would like to know if parking is included in the price or extra.
We’ve only had a car once while staying here. We weren’t charged for parking, but it was years ago. I think parking is usually free at the off-strip properties.
Nice! Just discovered you guys. Great video! Was this the signature room or just a standard one bedroom king? Subscribed!
This was just a standard villa, not signature. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Looks nice. I'd definitely stay at a non-gaming off strip property.
It was peaceful and we really needed that this time around:)
Thanks for this. I’m staying at this resort in March. I will not fill the tub.
Maybe you’ll get the regular tub. We’ve stayed here several times and this is the first odd-sized tub we’ve had. Either way, we hope you enjoy your trip and thanks for watching!
That’s a sick room! I’ve always wanted to go to Vegas cause I’m from Australia and I’d love to compare it to the outback
You should definitely visit Nevada if you ever have the chance:)
Looks like a nice place, I haven’t stayed there before.
It is really nice, especially if you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere after a long day on the strip:)

@@FrontiersmanAdventures $200 for 3 hours? That’s actually not a bad deal at all! (Chris would kill me, though)
@@TheMidlifeRide - I agree! That it was not a bad deal, not sure how Chris's mood would be afterwards!
Were you doing timeshare presentation? Going in a week and wondering what to expect.

How tall is Chris? He looks 6’ plus in real life then stepped into the “tub” and appeared to shrink! Lol. Massive bathing situation there.
I’m around 6’1”, and hardly ever encounter a shower head that high. That tub/shower definitely has a way of making you feel smaller :)
Great video👍🏻👍🏻. Assuming time share property? Have a great weekend you guys😎
@@chadperley7736 Yes, they do offer timeshares, but the rooms can be booked by anyone. Thanks for watching:)
How far of a walk is the strip from here? Is it a safe walk at day or night? Thanks in advance

We booked the signature 2 bedroom going memorial day weekend
Nice! Enjoy your trip:)
What room is this ?
This was a standard, one bedroom king room.

You are a mysterious man, Michael. The Good Place was a great show:)
I like the large tub. It lets my mind wander. 😅
😂
Id definitely get creative in there
@@figurinechamp6881 That was my first thought, too, but it might be a little too big (that’s what she said)!
@@TheMidlifeRide 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yuck, Mr. Chris.
But it's F#$@%&$ Vegas baby!... in the words of Gwenn Stefani.., lol
So, we’re both thinking you’ve had a bit too much Tito’s and diet squirt before commenting on this video :)
