Why You Should NOT Stay at The Best Las Vegas Hotels (Unless Comped)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video we a discussing some travel tips and advice to help you stretch your budget further when you are here on vacation in Las Vegas, particularly when it comes to looking at the best hotel options available. Many people, especially first timer visitors (aka. Vegas Virgins), come to Las Vegas, and really love the high end resort casino properties. Although these hotels are beautiful, there's only so many high end customer clientele looking for a luxury room to stay at, whether on the strip, off the strip or in downtown near Fremont St. Your dollar will go a lot further if you get a suite at a mid-level hotel property than if you were to get the cheapest room at a place like Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Aria, Wynn, Encore, etc. Also, you can enjoy many of the great amenities at high end properties like restaurants, pool parties, night clubs, dat clubs, lounges, spas, etc. without actually having to stay at that property. Now, I do no recommend staying at a place that seems to cheap or run down or sketchy. You can find a nice middle ground where you can have a quality room and enjoy other aspects of the hotel like free parking, lower or no resort fees, better comps, etc. without necessarily having to stay in a property than many people considered to be the best in Las Vegas.

Who uses this strategy when planning a Vegas vacation?
I 100% agree with this strategy. Planet Hollywood has been my go to mid tier property since 2004.
Hi Jacob. We always stay at these hotels, New York, Luxor, MGM or Mirage. All we do is a upgrade and it only costs maybe 20 more a night and we've been very satisfied with everything. To us it's worth it just to spend a little more.
Jacob I have been doing exactly what you said for over 30 years when I go to Vegas. Back in the day, for me it was the Frontier the Riviera the Hilton. Now today it's been the Sahara, The Flamingo, and the Westgate. You're right I'm out and about why spend big bucks on a room when you're not going to be there as much.
Not me! I don’t gamble so I have never been comped 😂
Awesome video Jacob!!! I partially agree with you. You should be flexible with where and when you stay in Vegas. You should compare multiple options when planning your trip. You should combine hotel and airfare. I am coming to Vegas on September 12 and I am staying at the Venetian for 4 nights. I am bringing 2 friends with me. The total cost for the trip with resort fee included is 1,817.38. This includes 2 hotel rooms and airfare for 3 people. I did not use any points or comps to get this deal.
I was the asshole screaming at you from the Audi! Love ya brother!
I am a older single guy, I really don't give a crap what people think. I have two Sons in or very close to their 30's. My go to place is Flamingo with a King Bed, Strip view. Flamingo is Center Strip. Like mentioned before, it gives me an extra chance to see a show, gamble more, eat more etc.
Good deal Lance!
Loved the flamingo! We were just there last week!
Flamingo is so garbage man. Seriously just look into Mirage or a mid tier. Flamingo is literally so bad.
Mirage is just as bad as Flamingo. Hated it there.
@@youdontknowme2915 I heard that you might find somebody standing at your bed! I stayed there for a week, never again!
People who stay at those high end property do so because they want to and can afford it. Your hotel stay is a key element on any vacation regardless.
Yes. For me my first time in Vegas I stayed at Silver Sevens and I was happy. My upcoming trip I splurged on a week stay at Bellagio because i wanted the experience of a nicer hotel. I saved up for it and I’m planning on spending lots of time relaxing and in the pool this trip so it works perfectly for me!
@@armin2changs For me, Bellagio rooms were a disappointment. Their lobby and garden are awesome, but their rooms not so much. Not that the rooms are bad, but they are not awesome. Of course, try out the Bellagio room and see for yourself. But for a luxury room experience I would recommend The Wynn or The Pallazzo. It helps if you have the Amex Platinum or the Chase Sapphire reserve credit cards, as those cards also give you extra perks like free breakfast and early check in/late check out if you book through their fine/luxury hotels program.
Well i stay at mid tier because i choose to.All i need is safe and clean,and like the mix of people .I cant stand putting on airs ,now called boojie.
Its a lot of people cramped into 1 room
Yes and No to an extent. Depends why you're there in Vegas. In the busier times where they can markup the hotel price and you want to be close to the action (New Years Eve), you're paying because a big event.
One "hack" is always use the resort's player card when playing machines. They will send you "special" offers and comps, especially at the nicer hotels. Often with these specials, you can stay at nicer hotels for a comparable mid-level price.
For my First time staying in Las Vegas. We stayed at the Delano. It was real nice and the staff was super helpful.
Value properties allow me to see an extra show and/or splurge on a 5star dinner and of course gamble more. Great video Jacob.
Good planning! Thank you Neil!
Same reason we stay at cheaper places,If all i want is a clean normal room to sleep in,Leaves more money to be spent else where a lot better.
Stayed at the Bellagio last trip. Hated it, beautiful hotel, mediocre rooms and service. Staying at the flamingo this time. Can’t wait! Looks like a great location and saved enough on the rooms to enjoy my vacation even more than last time .
I've stayed at Bally's twice and it's literally in the middle of everything. It's a great location for a good price and you're not compromising much.
bally's stinks, has gone ghetto, but yes good location.
Ballys is my go to hotel.
@@downieduck2414 I guess it’s not the place for racists that wanna avoid seeing black and brown people.
YUP. I like the El Cortez's vintage rooms. Used to stay on Trop at the Motel6.
Absolutely love the way you design your videos, especially having fun on a lower budget. Many people have families, increasing costs of everything. Thanks so much, Jacob! I got a great flight/hotel deal at the Excalibur (first time staying there) this spring, was funny how you quickly mentioned the Ex in this vid 😂
Such a good video. Don't forget the other chain hotels.. Homewood Suites, Doubletree, Courtyard Marriott, etc. No resort fees. In non covid times, many even offer shuttle service to the strip. Save a bundle by staying just on the other side of I-15.
Been going to Vegas for 25 years now. Best bang for your buck is ballys center strip. Big standard rooms and very affordable. Paris is a good bet as well as is Planet Hollywood. Book at these places save a ton of $ and then visit Bellagio or Ceasars.
Great video Jacob! I like your strategy
I have been to Vegas 12+ times. Downtown Grand provided some great value and the rooms were super nice. However, if you don't care about luxury, I would highly recommend the d or the 4 queens. 4 queens has no resort fee. Hotel Apache at Binions also has great value. The rooms are old but very clean, there's security in the hallways and the rooms are very quiet.
I always stay at 4 queens
@@tg8170 I was there in May. Loved it!
How is the Ex? I got a great flight/hotel deal there this spring. Never stayed there before. Thx!
@@boneyn3661 Have been inside the Ex one time. They pump a chemical through the vents to mask the smell of mold. Have heard not good things about the rooms. However, you should try it out yourself and form your own opinion.
@@superman26755 😂 Cheers, thanks for your input, Aaron!
Flamingo on the strip and Plaza on Fremont are my 2 low end favorites!
Agreed! I only used my room for sleeping my last few times in Vegas. That usually means I crash in bed about 2AM, or later, and then go down to the food court the next morning because I just want something quick and can be very moody!
Great advice,thanks Jacob!
Great info and considerations for first timers. Location can be really important plus pools (if pools are important to you). Booking ahead is fine, it is great if you can be a little versatile on the exact days. Usually Sundays thru Thursday nights rock. If you are in town for more than three nights and can rent a car for at least one afternoon, Red Rock loop is a must.
This is a great strategy. A great hack to this is stay at a centrally located property. I love Flamingo because you get the pool access.
Good advice, Jacob, thanks - and applies about anywhere, not just in Las Vegas.
Hi Jacob Thank you for sharing your videos. Great information
Hi katy
Jacob, great video. I agree for newbies and people that haven't built up comps I would stay at the places you mentioned. Now that I have some comps Mirage is good for that upper middle class style... semi fancy but affordable!
Hi Jacob from Melbourne in Australia. Thanks for the video today. I never thought about it that way before.
You're welcome Neil!
@@JacobslifeinVegas 😊😊😊
Very interesting video Jacob! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
@@JacobslifeinVegas No prob man!
You should do a video about bed bugs, bed bugs peaked around 2015, but now it’s hard to figure out what hotels might be ignoring or neglecting bed bug problems.
Excellent advice taping tonight. Value property for me once while scouting condo's once was Silverton at an unbelievable price. Pool, restaurants, casino all onsite and a hop to the strip in my new Hyundai SUV. Valet at Bellagio and all the amenities and poker room without paying nearly $200 weekday and forget about it on Friday and Sat. ONLY for special occasions do it. Save up, do it. But not flying in to hit the town monthly or so.
We were there for Psycho concerts. All 4 nights was comped. No resort fees either. We have had several free rooms at several very nice resorts. Love it.
I go through Expedia and found great deals on many of them, but for my dates, the El Cortez was the best! And if I want to see the other Hotels, I can take the bus or walt all up and down the strip.
Another great video. Thank you.
Great info and so true. Thanks and take care.
Thanks, you too!
Great video Jacob, strategies we are gonna use when we are in Vegas next.
Thanks Winston! Hope the trip goes well! (Whenever you're finally able to get across the borderr)
To me Vegas is a relative bargain even at the fancier resorts. Look at prices at high-end hotels in SF or LA, astronomical plus they usually add on an amenity fee just like Vegas.
Good point
especially san fran ... holly spaghetti !!!
@@spurskie7774 here in LA is just as nuts 🥵
Great video! Great deals and right on the strip: Bally’s, Treasure Island (TI), NYNY, Luxor, Excalibur (it’s still fun), and sometimes Mandalay Bay and MGM. Have fun, stay at a very famous property that’s an awesome huge resort, and still save some money!
Thanks Eric!
my favorite hotel is Excalibur, we always stay there when we see family in Vegas
Great tips ! Thanks for the video
Glad it was helpful!
Hi from the Bay Area. Good tips, as always. My wife goes to that church in the background when we are in town on the weekends 😬
Thank you!
Recently stayed at harrahs…I had way more fun on this trip compared to the times I stayed at Aria.
Everything you said is spot on, at least for me. The more I go to Vegas the less I care about my room because if I'm not sleeping or showering I'm spending 0 time in my room. What I always look for is location, casino and if it's hot maybe pool that's it.
Not a bad plan pedro!
I love this video.. I do this when I come to Vegas.. I'm only in my room to sleep....
Very good point Jacob! You are only going to use your hotel for sleeping. So no need to reserve/get a room at the high end properties if you are looking to save some $$$ and maximize your trip to Vegas.
Just came back from there! Spent 2 nights at the Hoover dam lodge. Casino, eateries all the same. And went to other ventures at the same time. 110 bucks a night. Greatness.
Great information Jacob! I typically get comped when I am in Vegas due to the gambling I do at the Caesars casinos near me. Everything you said makes sense so thank you for the share😊
De nada Sherri 😃
I only stay at Caezar’s property since it’s comped. I agree though for people that aren’t comped. In my 20’s I always looked for deals & divided with my friends. We hardly slept anyways.
I've always tried to tell people on their first trip out to stay at a Ballys or Harrahs and the like. Then explore more of the higher end places and see what they like or prefer for when they come out again.
Not a bad suggestion!
Real talk man. I've been to Vegas 3 times and each time I stayed at a different hotel, PH, The Strat and The Luxor. I'm going to stay at a higher end hotel the next time I'm there in part for the experience and the atmosphere.
Resort fees at harrahs are $45 per night so add that to your receipt.
When I go to Vegas....I always get complimentary rooms; free-play and no resort fees. I guess they like me.
Good video Jacob. I usually stay at Excalibur and spend most time at bars and restaurants in NYNY (usually couple hundred difference between properties but not in room quality). Always looked at a room just being somewhere to stagger into at daft o'clock so why spend ridiculous money on one especially when its costing £700+ to fly from UK its expensive enough as it is. Used to stay at Imperial Palace, great location and was dirt cheap. I get it if your Vegas trip is a once in a lifetime thing and you want it to be special, but if you come a few times don't waste your money on the higher end properties.
Great Video
Thumbs Up !
First trip to Vegas i stayed at Park MGM as i was seeing the Queen and Adam Lambert show there. Did not have a clue where anything was and had a great time walking up from that end finding everything. Last time i stayed at Hooters just before it became OYO. All staff in both properties looked after me very well and am looking at either one of them when i make it back over from UK again.
You hit it right on Jacob👍 Going to Vegas next week ,( whoo hoo) first time in Vegas . We are staying at Bally’s. We figured that we don’t need high end cause we are not going to be spending much time in the room. Tons to do in Vegas ( not big gamblers ) Bally’s is perfect , right on the strip and we got a great deal ( fir a week stay ). You really don’t need to spend a lot of money on a hotel cause you are not going to be in the hotel room very much. Great video , love your channel , hopefully we will see you around in Vegas 😁
Bally’s is still nice and usually a good deal too… It is center strip, right across from The Bellagio and next door (and connected to Paris Las Vegas, and all around it is always very lively! Have fun!
@@ericdudley4169 Thank You ! I surely will 😁
Was that the international airport behind you in the last part of your vlog? Once again another great video mate.
My value places are Luxor, Harrahs and Flamingo. Casinos are great, good food on site or nearby and awesome bars!
I’m staying NYNY end of this month . Stayed once a while ago. Pretty excited to stay again
get a mlife credit card & build your points ... you might get a comp in the future even if you don't gamble ... that's what i told my friend who don't gamble & he's got one ... I'm lifer since last year,but I gamble (not a high roller) & I've got free room reservations from my comps until june next year ... & I started building my points @ caesars rewards & now I got comps (on weekdays but I have to pay the resort pay) ...
Good tips. Thanks.
You bet!
I get what you are saying. But you can usually find very good rates for the 5 star resorts. Most are much cleaner inside and the rooms are much cleaner also. And it kinda weeds out the trashy people
Hi Jacob, this was posted on my birthday! I normally stay at the Excalibur, but I stayed at the Stardust for many years until it closed down, then at the Rivera until that closed down, after that I stayed at Circus Circus a few times and I tried the Harrah's a few times, I stayed Downtown twice at the Plaza and back staying at the Excalibur. The resorts fees don't really bother me, it's only the free parking that matters though because it's hard walking to far places I wanna go. Next time, I visit I will keep in mind on your great tips! 👍🏻
Thank you Suzy...and happy birthday!
Great tips Jacob. -S
I usually stay off the strip, my number one stay is at the Marriott around paradise rd. Just alot less traffic and you have coffee in the rooms as well. Theirs about three of them off paradise rd alone, all have restaurants to include a bar. But if I had to fly in to Vegas, I wouldn't mind Treasure island. Plus no resort fees or any other hidden fees that you would find on the strip. Usually for me I leave the hotel room late, probably around noon, and I'm an early morning guy so I like to stay in a very comfortable room. Marriott does a good job everytime.
Jacob, one you might add is the Signature @ MGM {the towers behind/North of MGM. While actually not on the strip, they do connect to the strip thru MGM Grand. The best thing about the Signature is that most {all?} rooms have a full kitchen {full size refrigerator/stove/microwave} so if you are staying for a few days, you can save on breakfast and it is a great place to store the leftovers from the fancy dinner. We come to LV 6-8 times a year and usually stay at the Signature since buying drinks at the local Smith's is a lot cheaper than paying $4.00 for a Coke. Plus if you are a plane junky like me, get the balcony overlooking the McCarran and watch the planes at night.
good choice
Man I’m getting addicted to this guy’s videos lol
I tipped a bartender at mirage and they shared the deal about veterans getting free parking. You have to get your players card upgraded to show your vet status and then parking is free at aria cosmo videra mirage etc
For ME, I completely agree. I care about a clean room that's as quiet as possible. (Quiet is hard to find downtown.) All I do is sleep there. Paying for any other luxury is a waste of money. Now, I don't have the budget that some people do in Vegas. I'm not a huge gambler, so I don't get a ton of comps.
I stay at the Wynn or the Bellagio every time. My favorite restaurants are in the hotel so I don't have to leave the property to eat, there's not a bunch of annoying kids like at the cheaper places and it's a better atmosphere all around. I don't spend a lot on gambling or on partying so a $300/night room is well worth it.
Nice Dominic! I can see your reasoning why you would choose to stay at the nicer properties
You make a very good point. But at my age location and convinces over rides cost. So it Aria, Nomad, Vadra and Bellagio for me.
We LOVE staying at The LINQ. Center of everything, cheaper food, great atmosphere. Harrahs isn’t bad either. Planet Hollywood was a little out of the way for places we normal hang out at (Caesar’s, LINQ) but still a nice place to stay.
First time I went to Vegas I had 2 nights comped at The Sahara because they have a sister property in Reno which is closer to where I live in the bay area.
I'm a new 7 star at Caesars and have to say is definitely one of the best membership I've ever had.. I haven't spent a dime on a room/suite in about 13 stays in past 4 months!! With free casino play and gifts
100% I always stay at the nicest comped hotels I get. I've stayed at Delano and Vdara for free and they are really nice, but normally I'm stuck at NYNY, Park, PH,Flamingo or even Luxor and Excalibur! A bed's a bed!
thank you informative
My go to cheap property is Flamingo. Booked a mini suite with a strip view for $60. Great casino, great pool, amazing location
Great video and some interesting points and I love reading other peoples comments about it i've been planning a trip to Vegas for a year and a half had to cancel three times now due to travel restrictions to your country now I'm thinking of going to a apartment complex instead of a hotel because now I'm planning for a 14 day visit because I want to explore Vegas and I want to explore some of your country I like The desert Rose property which I think is quite near to where you are doing this video do you know anything about this property
I'm not a high roller but do come with a grand or two. Have not paid for a room in Vegas for over 12 years. I started out at Luxor but found being a large fish in a small pond has paid off nicely. Go to places The Orleans Rio and my all-time fav. Green Vally Ranch and Red Rock. I like being off the strip as the strip for me is WAY too many people and I get better comps off.
Weekday rates plus free credits makes a higher end resort more valuable. Wynn and Venetian are amazing properties. You can decide to split your rooms between deals.
I stayed at Wynn with family a couple months ago. I found the experience underwhelming.
Thank U for what you do! One of UR best vids ever! ObieJuanKaNoBee!
We liked staying at Sunset Station in Henderson comped and drove rental into the downtown or strip for the day.
You're better off gambling there than on the strip.
One time I was in Vegas for a conference at the Convention Center. The room at the main hotel was on the order of a Truck Motel Stop quality. And that was the main hotel for a major conference which usually happens at Caesar's or MGM Grand or Paris at a discounted rate of $219/night. I went online, found a 2 room suite at the Flamingo for $139. Got the rate because it was a same-day rate for a room that was going to be empty. Best conference room I ever had. Came with a full kitchen with dining area, whirlpool tub, living room area with a couch and 2 large chairs, desk space for 2 people in addition to the large bedroom and large bath with 2 sinks. You can live a lot better when traveling on company business without breaking the bank.
Going this Sunday May 22 Got two rooms at the Venetian for 76 and 69 dollars a night. I’m an Excalibur kinda income guy so being able to grab those rooms at that price was a once in a life time. Now I’m afraid I’m gonna get spoiled. But I like the cheesiness of the Excalibur so I won’t complain.
Jacob. You should do a video on how to get free parking everywhere. The M life offers free parking with the pearl card and Caesar’s offers free parking with the platinum card. These cards are easy to get.
I’ve stayed a few places on the strip but I’ve had WAY more fun when I’ve stayed downtown. The Deuce is easy and affordable to get down to the strip for a show or dinner and Fremont has WAY more fun in a 4 block walk than a mega hotel on the strip.
I always stay at PH for three days, then do a five -six-day stay at the Elara in my timeshare. PH and the Elara are great locations being Center Strip across from City Center and the best of value properties to the right and left. Excellent info given for Vegas travellers.
Just stayed at Ballys for 4 nights. Great location and a monarail stop at the hotel. Room was perfect because all I did was sleep there. Otherwise like you said in the video you are out and about checking things out 😉 I can't justify spending the money to have a room at bellagio or ceasars 🤷🏼♀️
Hey Mandy, did you check-in at the normal time 4pm or did you do the early check-in or do they allow earlycheck-in again??? Bally's is my go to when I'm down there.
I usually like to stay at Hampton Inns, as they are off of the strip and are a good value for me and my wife. I also like the hot breakfast you can get there and save some money on one meal while in Las Vegas.
It was once before where these strip hotels would have bargains prices for rooms but it was only over the days of Sunday through Thursday, it can be done if you are able to take a week off as a vacation week from work.
I completely agree! I always stay in the cheapest rooms (to a certain level) bc I'm hardly in my room, why pay so much to sleep & shower? BTW, Derrek Stevens owns Circa, The D & Golden Gate (where I like to stay). The Fertitta's own the Nugget.
I stay at MGM. Get 4 nights totally comped plus hundreds in play money and food comps. Round trip airfare non stop cinci to vegas was $120 each!
I love staying at The Elara because the bang you get for your buck is amazing and totally worth it
Mandalay Bay for being on Strip is the best value going! Far enough away but right there. Best pools by far!
When in Las Vegas I usually stay at Hotels in Downtown / Old Las Vegas
I usually stay at either Excalibur or luxor with 4 nights comped (except for resort fees and taxes) and i always have a great time. Last weekend i stayed at planet Hollywood and i still had fun but i felt out of place. I'll stick with my end of the strip methinks.
I got a good flight/hotel for the excalibur this spring. Never stayed there before. Is it ok? Thank you. I value quiet room and hard beds.
For me it’s tshirt and shorts the entire time! And Sam’s Town!
I spent less than $100 gambling the last time I went to Vegas. Booked 2 comp nights at Park MGM in November for the Roman Main Event basketball tournament through MLife, which is good because I still haven’t touched my MyVEGAS rewards yet.
Good advice on the rooms, their only purpose to me is just somewhere to sleep, shower and change clothes.
I had to stay at one strip property with well known Nevada name in gaming, I let you figure it out. The room I got didn't come with shin guards & the food was left over banquet. Many of my counter parts said the same thing, lousy food, couldn't wait to get out of their system. On the morning of my departure, I ate at another, bigger resort up the street. In subsequent trips to LV, I've stayed at the Strat (no); TI, impression was mixed - lines; I did at the Tuscany & found it more to my liking. I didn't encounter lines at the coffee shop, large rooms, no need for shin guards, parking is outside & not covered it has been a few years since there last, resort fee at the time was about $15. Best to just not go by the name but what suits you, room size; avoiding lines at the elevator etc.
I love Circus Circus everytime I'm in Vegas I usually stay at Circus Circus AWESOME!!!!!
If you are a somewhat frequent visitor to LV, find a couple of properties/owners you like, and then figure out which offers will suit you best for your next trip. Myself I stay at the Golden Nugget, or MGM properties, and get decent offers at each. Next trip we will be staying at Mandalay Bay for the first time, got a offer I couldn't refuse!!
To me, "location" is what I look for. That means, hotels such as Mirage, Caesars Palace, Bellagio as my favorites. ((But Luxor and New York/New York are good values...just away from the "center"))
Harrahs flamingo and Bally’s are super central AND Budget friendly! Caesars, Bellagio, cosmopolitan are really nice to treat myself with but I’ve honestly found myself staying at the Harrahs more often than the others! go there if you haven’t already and are looking to be central.
“Location” is an illusion on the strip… the strip isn’t that big, don’t be lazy… just take a walk or the tram or bus
@@lifeandloveabundance663 eh, I prefer to walk either way! I could walk the strip all day/night but I just love being able to step right outside and be in the middle of all the “action”
@@yoitsdaman that’s also an illusion, because the strip can have action all up and down , anywhere. I know what you’re tryna get at, because I just stayed at flamingo recently and they have that little alley between the linq that has all those restaurants etc (and the high roller wheel) … there’s a lot of people over there but basically just a bunch of tourists , just like yourself that are drunk and or trying to showboat their arrogance…. I prefer downtown (The D hotel) or even staying off the strip totally, like alliante , red rock or Summerlin
@@lifeandloveabundance663 everything is an illusion with you. David Copperfield over here… 😂😂
You’re not wrong about being a tourist getting drunk n showboating our arrogance. Nailed that one on the head.
Can’t justify staying off the strip though. Had a couple in my group last time that did stay off the strip and the red rock was gorgeous but I’m young and just prefer to be on the strip. But hey, maybe one day!
I do want to stay in downtown sometime though!
I don’t drive to Vegas anymore so that’s a factor. Don’t wanna Lyft everywhere or rent a car. Not worth it to me. I fly in, lyft to my hotel. And That’s typically all the time spent in a car till I head back to the airport.
I came to Vegas a couple months ago with family for my birthday. My brother who was organizing the trip refused to stay anywhere but Wynn. Anything like Luxor is considered complete trash to him. While the hotel was nice and I had some good food there, I thought the experience was excessive. We were only in the room for a few hours a day so I saw no point to the expense. Due to the extreme heat we also spent more time driving due to being on the end of the strip.
I used to stay at Imperial Palace (cheap, now Linq), Flamingo, and Harrahs, all decent deals. Also Caesars a couple times when they gave me a deal. Best deal I’ve received is Rio, free. Now staying after South Point, strip too expensive. I’ll visit center strip for the action.
Thank you
I usually stay at Flamingo for just that reason. It's a good hotel with an excellent location. You can walk easily to Venetian or Cosmopolitan.
@Sox Rox
You should have discussed more of the options away from the Strip and DT. Red Rock is probably my favorite. But, there are the Station Casinos, Cannery and other big chain hotels without a casino. Granted, you may have to rent a car. But, it still widens your options. Especially, where to eat at a bargain. If you're into table games, the casinos on the Strip tend to have higher limits with the minimum bets of at least $25. Newbies with a tight budget would be better off away from the Strip and DT for those reasons.
Sams Town, alliante and Green Valley Ranch casino
@@GaMeBoYDaN1 - Alliante is nice 👌
Orleans and Gold Coast are always good $5 3 Card Poker at night makes for a fun evening with always full tables.
That would be a story for another vid
Jacob! Did you go to the Arizona - BYU college football game at the new Alligient (Raiders) stadium? It would be fun to see a video on that new state-of-the-art football stadium!
Even to this day ! 6 years later I been coming here and now live here, I still want to stay at a sleek and sexy hotel lol -but now your right I stay at Bally’s or PH now and if on a real budget lol Ellis island if I’m going out to party 😂 or the D on a week day of course - never come to Vegas on a weekend room double or triple in price- to much for my little Canadian dollars 🥲
