** you can definitely have your phone out and use it in the casino. Just not at the table. I often stand up and step back just a few feet to use my phone. I text or make calls. Once im finished, i go back to my seat at the table. Dont be scared, just be smart while you are in there. If you do not know a rule, just ask.
Another what not to do: Do not, I repeat; do not walk from past the Wynn to The Fremont Experience. My friend and I thought that it would be a good way to get some steps in and enjoy some of the sights that would culminate at Fremont street. BIG MISTAKE! There were tons of homeless, mentally insane yelling things at us and shady characters trying to walk uncomfortably close to us. We walked this area in the middle of the day (I couldn’t even imagine at night) and we are incredibly lucky that we did not get attacked or mugged. I had no idea that there was any part of the Strip that was unsafe but that area is extremely sketch. We did this walk this year in January, I’m not sure if it has improved or used to be safe but anymore it is absolutely not!
As a 26 year resident of Las Vegas I could tell you - you have no idea how lucky you probably were actually. That area has been bad since at least the 70s. Back in 96 they thought the new Stratosphere Hotel would help clean up the area but it did not. They have tried upgrading and updating some of the complexes around there. Those have been affordable housing since the 1930s when most of the Hotel employees lived there due to being a close to drive to work. Part of that walk (around Strat) is known as "Naked City" because thats where all the showgirls lived and would sunbathe publicly by the pools. After a few years they could afford some of the housing popping up around the city off the strip and then a new crowd moved in. Its gotten worse and worse ever since! DO NOT WALK NORTH OF THE WYNN
I’ve walked from the strip to downtown multiple times and from the golden nugget to the mgm grand just last week. It’s a nice 6 mile walk and the arts district is actually pretty new and not bad at all. Much better than it was even a couple years ago in my opinion. Idk I don’t fear that kind of stuff
I live in Las Vegas and most everyone else that lives here thinks is really annoying when tourists and vacationers clog up the street. I know it’s annoying but don’t just cross the street whenever you feel like it because you’re drunk and you don’t feel like waiting at the crosswalk. Sometimes we get a greenlight but the tourists won’t stop walking back-and-forth and they don’t abide by the street signs or crosswalks at all and we have to sit through multiple lights sometimes..... it’s rude don’t be a douche bag. It’s tempting for some of us to just run you guys over..... you have to understand that for those of us that live here some of us have to cross the strip to get to and from work, or carry out their daily lives in the city that they live in. Also I can’t tell you how many times Visitors from out of town come to Las Vegas drink too much and drive and they end up hitting somebody that’s just trying to get home from work or going to work...Or a family that is just trying to get from point a to point B etc.... if you’re looking for budget it might be a little bit off the strip but station casinos are a good place to start and their buffets are not bad. You can also register for a station casino card and that will give you additional discounts. If you’re looking for something fun and more family friendly, try out Fremont Street. We take our kids there all the time and we have a blast every time. You can get some pretty eclectic and special Souvenirs that won’t cost you very much from street performers and artist etc. Also, lookout for pickpockets it is becoming a real issue even for those of us that live here and know better.
As a fellow Las Vegas resident, while reading your comment about the people crossing the street back and fourth Im picturing in my head the light by MGM when you want to turn right. Its next to impossible to turn there and they look at you crazy if you try to move forward! But yeah, I work on the Strip so I can relate with a lot of what you said.
You're wrong about the bus. The deuce is for jumping one or two resorts up and down the strip. Like say from ceasar's to NYNY. The express only has a couple of stops and takes like twenty minutes to get from MGM grand to freemont. The deuce stops at every stop, the express only has like 4 stops. And they both run on the same pass which costs like $20 for 3 days. I can't imagine spending $10-20 every time I wanted to go somewhere. Who can afford that?
I was just there last week and for some reason, I believe due to COVID, they have eliminated the SDX route and altered the DUECE route a little for when you are in downtown. So unfortunately there is no express way of going downtown from the strip at the moment. Hopefully they change it back later as I have taken the SDX in the past.
The only time I’ve been to Las Vegas was when I couldn’t gamble. I was still in high school. My oldest sister got married there. Even though I couldn’t legally drink or gamble, it was still cool to explore, see shows, and hit up the buffets.
You forgot one: when wanting to stop in the walk paths, to take a picture or answer your phone, get off to the side and don't stop right in the middle.
One tip I’ll share. I purchased a money bank to bring to Vegas, it’s a wallet sized metal case that you can slip dollars into but cannot open without the key. So I leave the key at home, when I win money, I’ll put it in the bank so that I’m not tempted to spend all my winnings! Then when I get home I’m sometimes shocked at how much is actually in there, it’s an almost guaranteed way to leave with some money 😉
I live,, work as a musician,, and game in Vegas.. I have no idea how I even came across your video, but I watched the whole thing! You guys are so cute ❤ I hope you stay together till you're old and grey, like me! Lol Hugs!
Casinos rarely enforce the "no photo" policy anymore, but they are adamant about the "no phone use" at the tables. And Las Vegas averages over one pedestrian/motor vehicle fatality per week, which is why they're overly aggressive about jaywalking. Pretty good common sense advice.
From a retired dealer, he said when the mob ran Vegas, everyone was happy. You got juice, you move on up. Now the bean counters are running the place and so much has changed. He retired right after Corporate moved in, glad he left when he did.
You're spot on about when the mob ran Vegas, entertainment was cheap and the buffets were cheap with some good quality food to boot at some of them. Now greed has taken over Vegas.
@@elcajondavid1 I wouldn't necessarily say it's greed. More accurately the number of people who come through Las Vegas is astronomical compared to earlier decades. No other city in the world gets as many events and conventions and these people gamble very little if at all. Also Las Vegas has become so diversified even tourists come here with no intention of gambling. It's the gambling that paid for that $2 buffet.
So I'm binge watching or listening to your playlist from the beginning while I work as I have to have some background noise while I work and I can't believe how much healthier you look now Maddie! I'm so glad you're feeling better. I have similar issues with food allergies so I can relate. I also think your videos have come a long way. Good job✨
Yes avoid airport gambling. I went on a boys trip one year and one member of our party never made it out of airport. 2 grand lost in a matter of hours.

That's not the one specific reason. But that is a good reason. I know this because I've been to Vegas many times and I don't do any gambling. And nobody has ever asked me to put away my phone. Clearly, they're a little more sensitive about your phone when you are gambling.
You are so right about the deuce bus. My sister thought that was better than a Uber since we were staying on Fremont. It was horrible since it stopped at almost every corner and it was hot and crowded. A big no no.
You guys are awesome. Very informative and helpful. You deliver the content so well and make it look easy. I am a caregiver for the developmentally disabled and have had to plan a trip for 4, 2 with disabilities to Vegas and have watched every video you've put out in your recent Vegas series and all have helped me out so well. Thank you very much and happy traveling.
Thanks for the video! I can't wait to return to Vegas. I don't know how to play the games but the city is nice and you can drink free on the streets like Brazil. Greatings from Brazil!
Hike Red Rock Canyon, Shooting Ranges, rent a boat at Lake Mead, Ski/hiking at MT. Charleston. Cirque shows, Fremont Street, cocktails at the Stratosphere at dusk, (very nice).
ugh not really there Vegas videos aren't even that relevant lmao they are based on opinions from people who visit.not based on anyone who actually lives here lmao.for example the buffets aren't open.they mention they liked the Wynn ugh they closed to lmao.no longer open either they were re open again for a little while but no.i live in Vegas but for better Vegas content watch this guy th-cam.com/users/NotLeavingLasVegasaVegasVideoChannel he is pretty good🎨
Totally agree about riding the bus on the Strip. I was staying at the Tropicana and I had friends that were staying mid-Strip. Even in the mornings (when traffic was lighter), it took a very long time to get around. Paradise Rd. would have been better, I think. It's a cheap way to get around, but don't be in a hurry. Glad to see you guys back in Vegas!
Agreed on the buffet situation - usually paying a bit more yields way better quality... except at Aria (in my experience) - super disappointed there. The food was so bad we actually complained which I would never normally do at a restaurant. Wynn, Bellagio and Cosmopolitan (Wicked Spoon) have always been awesome.
If you have a free room at Wynn/Core, you can opt out of the resort fee if you don’t use WiFi in your room and the gym. WiFi is free in the lobby/casino.
For the buffets, I ate at the mirage, go around 3:30pm and pay the lunch price. Grab a plate of food, then take your time and wait 30 minutes and get the dinner items, but pay the lunch buffet price. This worked in 2011, not sure if they’ve since clamped down on that or not.
I didn’t realize the motorized scooters being abused would be an issue till I saw it for myself. Saw 4 drunk women swerving all over the sidewalk, doing donuts & figure 8’s almost hitting everyone. They were total idiots.
I love you guys so much. Your videos are perfect and you are both incredibly genuine and likable. Taking my girlfriend to Vegas for the first time in April! We are watching a lot of your videos together to get excited!
Hello Maddie & Jordan! So glad to see you both! I love your turtle shirt Jordan! Maddie, hopefully people will listen & not take out house credit. Money is easier to spend than it is to make. The casino I visited at the Meadows in Pennsylvania was neat! 1st & last time. My Aunt & I each had $20.00 on our card to use in the machines. We happily played the penny machines. I played the one game called "Dam Beavers". Waitress come around & we had bottled water. We don't drink alcohol. I noticed there was a sign with a toll free number for people who had a gambling problem to call. I guess there are signs like that in the Casinos there also? Very nice place. Very exciting atmosphere. Have a nice day!
I'm glad I found your page! I'm a east coast AC resort guy, I'm a Casers Platinum card holder. I'm very interested in coming to Vegas to see EVERYTHING! this page is very informative!
From an anthropological/sociological perspective I find Vegas fascination. I know this is probably the nerdiest post here, but really, it's an interesting place to study the human animal.
A lot of good advice, but I have to disagree on using Airbnb. Currently because of the lack of people, some hotels have low fees. For example, Harrahs has $10 rooms plus resort fee. And as long as those kind of rates are available, it will be quite cost effective to reserve a hotel. However, the last time I was in Vegas I stayed at an Airbnb for four days for $130. I would suggest that if you do rent Airbnb, try to get a rental near Flamingo Blvd. I took the 202 bus to the strip with a $5 dollar all day pass. From where I stayed, It took me about 10 minutes to arrive on the strip. The $5 pass does cover the Deuce, but like they said, if it's the weekend, you're talking slower than molasses, lol. However, the rest of bus system is quite efficient and fast. I used the 202 to ride all over Vegas (off the strip) with the necessary connections.
Can you guys do like a what to do your first time in Vegas video with suggestions and tips of places to go etc, alot of the things you said in this video I never heard before and Ive watched all your las vegas videos. Im going with my husband for the first time end of October. Staying at the Cosmopolitan. Cant wait 😁
I've lived in LV for nearly 21 yrs,..Well when u first arrive,u will find everything so large&the Hotel/Casinos are like Maize's (they really don't want u to leave,unless u have no $$$$ left) ..But the first thing u should do is get a "Players Club card"each Casino has it's own,all they want is ur ID and should receive a complimentary 5or 10$ to play with+ future offers of promotions via email..But each time u play a machine,u stick the card in&accrue points.. Also try&locate the nearest Walgreens along the strip for Drinks/Snacks for ur Hotel room(much cheaper)..And I would discourage anyone frm using the Casinos ATM(of course I've done it when boozed&incoherent)U will get charged a ridiculous fee 4 to 6$$, or something&then ur Bank hits u up as well and meanwhile ur spending that dough at the very same Casino! ..So bring enough cash(or ur CC)..Anyway that's a few "long winded"pointers for u to ponder! ..Enjoy ur stay&stay healthy..Oh and I nearly forgot,it's easy to be distracted while at these Casinos(Sensory overload is the order of the day here)and the Bums &Hustlers are always scoping out Potential victims..So stay vigilant👍
A lot of great info and advice on here guys. Thanks! I did have one question. I don't care for buffets so much but rather prefer the coffee shop experience where you just go in sit down and get waited on. Haven't been to Vegas in 10 years but I assume they are still in existence?
I love your videos, really helpful to know some things about Vegas that I have not been told, I’m visiting next month so this is exceptionally helpful! Thanks 🙏
Treasure Island offers the best odds on Blackjack on the strip they're one of the very few that pay 3 to 2 at any denomination table and they also allow surrender. Which most places don't.
If your going for more than 3 days i would consider this.Car rental cost $15 a day. If your a real drinker youll need good booze without being ripped off. (Off strip) Also groceries (off strip) makes trip much more enjoyable and hang overs more bearable. Quality resturants some phenomenal and affordable are off strip. Best odds off strip. Free parking at many hotels. Sight seeing. No uber fees for every little trip (airport alone). Cup of starbucks at strip hotel 10 dollars. Cup of starbucks a mile off strip 4 dollars. If you need legal weed youll need a car as well. No shops near strip.
You ain't kidding about the Wynn Casino having the worst machines on the strip! When we were in Vegas last month my Uncle stayed at the Wynn, he has a lot of money, but he said not once did he win anything while staying there for the weekend! He had better odds at the El Cortez and the other Casinos in the Fremont area. But he did say that their Buffet is awesome!
Your so right about not going overboard with those Fat Tuesday Drinks...I did that my first go around and while I still had a good time I had the worst hangover ever the next day...I didn't even do all the things I planned to do because I was so hungover. Don't do it..Just pace yourself.
I did that my first go round 😆 I could not even drink half the cup, I just bought it as a souvenir and did not plan to drink all of it due to me controling how many drinks I have also kept in mind I already had two drinks that were different and did not want to mix because its not a good idea.
I was just in Vegas at the same time you guys were. Never made the Strip this time. We were out by Red Rock Casino. It was very interesting to see all the different Covid precautions casinos were using. Some almost seemed like they were more for show than effective. One place(won't name the place) was showing some of the customer temps as low as 90 degreees and when I asked the guy he said the wind was effecting the readings. I thought that can't be good when trying to determine if someone has a temperature.
I have to disagree about the airport when we were in vegas we did pretty good at the casino's but the real treat was when we were flying out we had about an hour to burn and decided to go smoke and play so slots and my wife hit 5,900 on a red white and blue machine right before we left. the whole 7 day trip after all our winnings cost us a whopping 33.00 dollars and that was the bill for long term parking at our home airport, so had a great time there.....
Hi ! so glad to find and Share your Channel, Looking for reasons to " Leave " Las Vegas and " Sinking " vegas I came across this video__ So Love the Name of Your Channel also. Thank You Both . Have Fun and Stay Safe. ml po
Adding to the car situation. If you decide to go to the grand canyon or something off strip most casinos have a rent-a-car company in them. You can also take an ride share to the rent-a-car place at the airport. As well. So much cheaper by far than renting a pointless car.
Do one buffet, one time. Just for the experience. You will over eat. Over eating in Vegas is stupid. Feel like shit, gotta walk a long way. Unless you’re there for a long time (which also sucks) then it’s a waste of your weekend or few days there too be full as heck walking around in that heat stuffed to the neck with buffet food.
The one thing that few travelers do, during their trip to Las Vegas, that I highly recommend.... get OUT of Vegas for a day! Rent a car and get out of the city for one day, to explore anything and everything outside the city! Take a break in the middle of your trip and just go for a drive. There's lots to see and do outside of Vegas too!
We were in Vegas last week, stayed at Paris. I don't mind spending more there because you're not just paying for overpriced drinks and food, you are also paying for the unique experiences that you can't get anywhere else.
Do you play tables or slots? We have never been there. Looking to try a new place or 2 on some of our yearly trips. Do they have spa tubs in the suites?
Don't forget, all the casinos charge you for parking, even though you are staying at the the hotel ! Last I was told the parking is around $35-$45 for parking, valet is even more expensive ! Also I believe that the buffets are closed, due to covid19. There may be a cafeteria style of buffet restaurant open, not sure though 🤔
Hey guys! I'm not a Vegas person, but I so enjoy your videos that it doesn't matter lol. You're definitely a bright spot in this weird covid existence. Maddie, girl, you're rocking your post explant self with that adorable halter! So glad you seem to be doing great. Thanks for the vids, as I use your Mexico vids to keep me inspired while I plan my years-long dream to move there!
Just finished binge watching all your videos! I REALLY enjoyed following all you're adventures and now I'm sad that I'm up to date! You are such a cute couple and of course Laska is absolutely adorable!! You're video quality and content are great ! My family and I LOVE Mexico, in fact we will be vacationing in Riviera Maya next week....can't wait!! Looking forward to more videos, keep up the great work!!
When I was in Vegas I stayed at the MGM really enjoyed it. I don't gamble much when I do it's mainly 21 I play. I mainly go to the shows and attend the NFR. I really enjoy spending time on Freemont. I do have a question, do you ever go to Key west? I went there 5 years ago but only got to spend 2 days, planning on going back soon. Just wanted to know your opinion on key west if you have been there and yes I'm a big Jimmy Buffett fan a true pariothead LoL 😆 thanks and be safe on your adventures.
AS A VEGAS LOCAL... i can tell you that the bus routes on the Strip are NOT slow or crowded... nor do you have to wait a long time for the bus... our busses run 24 hours a day ~ There are 2 bus routes on the strip.... one or the other arrives every 6 minutes ! The DEUCE(double decker) that makes 34 stops in 7 miles The SDX (Strip Downtown Xpress) that makes 17 stops in 7 miles ... only at every 3rd hotel PLEASE DONT BELIEVE HER INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT it does not take 90 minutes to go the length of the strip, from the airport to fremont street downtown You can also purchase a 24 hour pass for the bus for $8.00 and is good for all 44 routes in the Las Vegas Valley
I had the Bacchanal buffet at Caesar's like 4 times and the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmo twice, but I've heard positive things about Wynn... how would you compare it to the others?
Just got back from Vegas a couple days ago, last time I went was about 5-6 years ago, seemed like their was a lot more drug addicts and really messed up people hanging around on the strip

That's not the one specific reason. But that is a good reason.
I know this because I've been to Vegas many times and I don't do any gambling. And nobody has ever asked me to put away my phone.
Clearly, they're a little more sensitive about your phone when you are gambling.
Very informative! I am a first time viewer of your channel, and subscribed immediately after watching this video. Thanks!
Thanks and welcome, Michael!
You are so right about the deuce bus. My sister thought that was better than a Uber since we were staying on Fremont. It was horrible since it stopped at almost every corner and it was hot and crowded. A big no no.
You guys are awesome. Very informative and helpful. You deliver the content so well and make it look easy. I am a caregiver for the developmentally disabled and have had to plan a trip for 4, 2 with disabilities to Vegas and have watched every video you've put out in your recent Vegas series and all have helped me out so well. Thank you very much and happy traveling.
Thanks for the video! I can't wait to return to Vegas. I don't know how to play the games but the city is nice and you can drink free on the streets like Brazil. Greatings from Brazil!
Thanks Alessandra!
I like the last two what NOT to do in Vegas videos. The next one I want to see is WHAT TO DO IN VEGAS. I haven’t seen that one yet.
Hike Red Rock Canyon, Shooting Ranges, rent a boat at Lake Mead, Ski/hiking at MT. Charleston. Cirque shows, Fremont Street, cocktails at the Stratosphere at dusk, (very nice).
You guys make some of the best Vegas videos I've ever seen! I hope to run into someday on the Strip 😃
What a compliment. Thanks Andrew!
ugh not really there Vegas videos aren't even that relevant lmao they are based on opinions from people who visit.not based on anyone who actually lives here lmao.for example the buffets aren't open.they mention they liked the Wynn ugh they closed to lmao.no longer open either they were re open again for a little while but no.i live in Vegas but for better Vegas content watch this guy th-cam.com/users/NotLeavingLasVegasaVegasVideoChannel he is pretty good🎨
Totally agree about riding the bus on the Strip. I was staying at the Tropicana and I had friends that were staying mid-Strip. Even in the mornings (when traffic was lighter), it took a very long time to get around. Paradise Rd. would have been better, I think. It's a cheap way to get around, but don't be in a hurry. Glad to see you guys back in Vegas!
Agreed on the buffet situation - usually paying a bit more yields way better quality... except at Aria (in my experience) - super disappointed there. The food was so bad we actually complained which I would never normally do at a restaurant. Wynn, Bellagio and Cosmopolitan (Wicked Spoon) have always been awesome.
I always get a kick out of the hit the bell button ...very creative.
If you have a free room at Wynn/Core, you can opt out of the resort fee if you don’t use WiFi in your room and the gym. WiFi is free in the lobby/casino.
For the buffets, I ate at the mirage, go around 3:30pm and pay the lunch price. Grab a plate of food, then take your time and wait 30 minutes and get the dinner items, but pay the lunch buffet price.
This worked in 2011, not sure if they’ve since clamped down on that or not.
Don’t forget that the ‘off strip’ hotels have free shuttles! (You can stay on the outskirts and ride back and forth to the strip and Fremont Street❕)
Also, you don't know what they put in some "stuff" if you do find a procurer. You don't want to wind up with oregano or be on some weird "trip".
I didn’t realize the motorized scooters being abused would be an issue till I saw it for myself. Saw 4 drunk women swerving all over the sidewalk, doing donuts & figure 8’s almost hitting everyone. They were total idiots.
I just pictured that. Made me lol
Didn't know that the ATM's can break bills. Good stuff.
They typically say ATM / Bill Breaker. Not all of them on the strip do, but it’s almost certain if they’re on the casino floor
I never knew a knitted top would look that good . WOW
I’m going to Vegas in 2 weeks! So excited, thanks for the information!❤️
I'm from NJ and I like when I meet people in Vegas from Philly & NYC
I love you guys so much. Your videos are perfect and you are both incredibly genuine and likable. Taking my girlfriend to Vegas for the first time in April! We are watching a lot of your videos together to get excited!
Aw thank you! Hope you guys have a ton of fun!!
I like your crocheted top. Did you make it?
Thanks! Got it from Amazon
Hello Maddie & Jordan! So glad to see you both! I love your turtle shirt Jordan! Maddie, hopefully people will listen & not take out house credit. Money is easier to spend than it is to make. The casino I visited at the Meadows in Pennsylvania was neat! 1st & last time. My Aunt & I each had $20.00 on our card to use in the machines. We happily played the penny machines. I played the one game called "Dam Beavers". Waitress come around & we had bottled water. We don't drink alcohol. I noticed there was a sign with a toll free number for people who had a gambling problem to call. I guess there are signs like that in the Casinos there also? Very nice place. Very exciting atmosphere. Have a nice day!
Very informative!...Compliments on your yellow blouse 😎
I'm glad I found your page! I'm a east coast AC resort guy, I'm a Casers Platinum card holder. I'm very interested in coming to Vegas to see EVERYTHING! this page is very informative!
From an anthropological/sociological perspective I find Vegas fascination. I know this is probably the nerdiest post here, but really, it's an interesting place to study the human animal.
Very true! The people watching is amazing
What
you may want to mention that going to Vegas primarily to gamble is silly because you can gamble on the electronic device you're using right now
A lot of good advice, but I have to disagree on using Airbnb. Currently because of the lack of people, some hotels have low fees. For example, Harrahs has $10 rooms plus resort fee. And as long as those kind of rates are available, it will be quite cost effective to reserve a hotel. However, the last time I was in Vegas I stayed at an Airbnb for four days for $130. I would suggest that if you do rent Airbnb, try to get a rental near Flamingo Blvd. I took the 202 bus to the strip with a $5 dollar all day pass. From where I stayed, It took me about 10 minutes to arrive on the strip. The $5 pass does cover the Deuce, but like they said, if it's the weekend, you're talking slower than molasses, lol. However, the rest of bus system is quite efficient and fast. I used the 202 to ride all over Vegas (off the strip) with the necessary connections.
Go with people that are fun - or that you actually like. If not you probably gonna hangout in the mile mall- eat mall food - & stay in your hotel room
That yellow top is 🔥🔥🔥 I didn’t realize Vegas was so open now.
So true...hot hot hot!!!
Lots of good info here and a good way of presenting it. Thanks. Subbed👍🏻
Can you guys do like a what to do your first time in Vegas video with suggestions and tips of places to go etc, alot of the things you said in this video I never heard before and Ive watched all your las vegas videos. Im going with my husband for the first time end of October. Staying at the Cosmopolitan. Cant wait 😁
I've lived in LV for nearly 21 yrs,..Well when u first arrive,u will find everything so large&the Hotel/Casinos are like Maize's (they really don't want u to leave,unless u have no $$$$ left)
..But the first thing u should do is get a "Players Club card"each Casino has it's own,all they want is ur ID and should receive a complimentary 5or 10$ to play with+ future offers of promotions via email..But each time u play a machine,u stick the card in&accrue points..
Also try&locate the nearest Walgreens along the strip for Drinks/Snacks for ur Hotel room(much cheaper)..And I would discourage anyone frm using the Casinos ATM(of course I've done it when boozed&incoherent)U will get charged a ridiculous fee 4 to 6$$, or something&then ur Bank hits u up as well and meanwhile ur spending that dough at the very same Casino!
..So bring enough cash(or ur CC)..Anyway that's a few "long winded"pointers for u to ponder!
..Enjoy ur stay&stay healthy..Oh and I nearly forgot,it's easy to be distracted while at these Casinos(Sensory overload is the order of the day here)and the Bums &Hustlers are always scoping out Potential victims..So stay vigilant👍
Just found you guys great tips. We frequent Vegas a lot and you guys are spot on ! I learned a lot of that the hard way lol 😆
Forgot one don't check your pocket when you see a sign that says stealers in the area
What do you mean?
Great top ,Mattie!
A lot of great info and advice on here guys. Thanks! I did have one question. I don't care for buffets so much but rather prefer the coffee shop experience where you just go in sit down and get waited on. Haven't been to Vegas in 10 years but I assume they are still in existence?
I love your videos, really helpful to know some things about Vegas that I have not been told, I’m visiting next month so this is exceptionally helpful! Thanks 🙏
You know I don't travel at all and I just really enjoy watching these kids videos
Ive Been In Vegas For 35 Years . My Best Advice Is : Don't Go To The Strip ....
Treasure Island offers the best odds on Blackjack on the strip they're one of the very few that pay 3 to 2 at any denomination table and they also allow surrender. Which most places don't.
If your going for more than 3 days i would consider this.Car rental cost $15 a day. If your a real drinker youll need good booze without being ripped off. (Off strip) Also groceries (off strip) makes trip much more enjoyable and hang overs more bearable. Quality resturants some phenomenal and affordable are off strip. Best odds off strip. Free parking at many hotels. Sight seeing. No uber fees for every little trip (airport alone). Cup of starbucks at strip hotel 10 dollars. Cup of starbucks a mile off strip 4 dollars. If you need legal weed youll need a car as well. No shops near strip.
Love watching you guys. I didn’t know you were in LV. Recently moved here a yr ago. Next time your in LV would love to meet you
Oh yeah I stalk yall on TH-cam let’s hang out 🤦♂️
Thanks for another great video. I always love the Gonging of the bell! 🛎
Lots of great 👍 Las Vegas advice! Nice 😊 yellow top!
You ain't kidding about the Wynn Casino having the worst machines on the strip! When we were in Vegas last month my Uncle stayed at the Wynn, he has a lot of money, but he said not once did he win anything while staying there for the weekend! He had better odds at the El Cortez and the other Casinos in the Fremont
area. But he did say that their Buffet is awesome!
Whoa!
The Paris buffet is excellent.
The prime rib is really good and they had lots of desserts.
Bold retro choice with that crocheted top, you pulled it off though.
God job guys . Thanks for the updated info .
Your so right about not going overboard with those Fat Tuesday Drinks...I did that my first go around and while I still had a good time I had the worst hangover ever the next day...I didn't even do all the things I planned to do because I was so hungover. Don't do it..Just pace yourself.
I did that my first go round 😆 I could not even drink half the cup, I just bought it as a souvenir and did not plan to drink all of it due to me controling how many drinks I have also kept in mind I already had two drinks that were different and did not want to mix because its not a good idea.
@@whywar1986 Yeah that's where I messed up. Had two shots of Bombay Sapphire before I got it. I was lit.
She reminded me of the girl from how I met your mother
Half of the buffets mentioned are GONE now. Some have gone to brunch only. Very few buffets left in Vegas.
Have to disagree on buffets. I know it's closed for now, but we lovelove Main St Station's buffet, which is so pretty and nice and also inexpensive.
I was just in Vegas at the same time you guys were. Never made the Strip this time. We were out by Red Rock Casino. It was very interesting to see all the different Covid precautions casinos were using. Some almost seemed like they were more for show than effective. One place(won't name the place) was showing some of the customer temps as low as 90 degreees and when I asked the guy he said the wind was effecting the readings. I thought that can't be good when trying to determine if someone has a temperature.
I’m inclined to agree with you!
I have to disagree about the airport when we were in vegas we did pretty good at the casino's but the real treat was when we were flying out we had about an hour to burn and decided to go smoke and play so slots and my wife hit 5,900 on a red white and blue machine right before we left. the whole 7 day trip after all our winnings cost us a whopping 33.00 dollars and that was the bill for long term parking at our home airport, so had a great time there.....
Hi ! so glad to find and Share your Channel, Looking for reasons to " Leave " Las Vegas and " Sinking " vegas I came across this video__ So Love the Name of Your Channel also. Thank You Both . Have Fun and Stay Safe. ml po
Adding to the car situation. If you decide to go to the grand canyon or something off strip most casinos have a rent-a-car company in them. You can also take an ride share to the rent-a-car place at the airport. As well. So much cheaper by far than renting a pointless car.
That is a lie I live in Vegas and they allow you to have your phone out
Do one buffet, one time. Just for the experience. You will over eat. Over eating in Vegas is stupid. Feel like shit, gotta walk a long way. Unless you’re there for a long time (which also sucks) then it’s a waste of your weekend or few days there too be full as heck walking around in that heat stuffed to the neck with buffet food.
The one thing that few travelers do, during their trip to Las Vegas, that I highly recommend.... get OUT of Vegas for a day! Rent a car and get out of the city for one day, to explore anything and everything outside the city! Take a break in the middle of your trip and just go for a drive. There's lots to see and do outside of Vegas too!
The absolute best bell ring yet!!!
What does that mean?
We were in Vegas last week, stayed at Paris. I don't mind spending more there because you're not just paying for overpriced drinks and food, you are also paying for the unique experiences that you can't get anywhere else.
Do you play tables or slots? We have never been there. Looking to try a new place or 2 on some of our yearly trips. Do they have spa tubs in the suites?
@@c7adventures376 Yes they do have spa in some of the rooms. I played craps but it's been a while. Great atmosphere, I highly recommend it.
I have never failed to buy "STUFF" in Las Vegas nor had any trouble doing so.
Thank you so much for the info. I’m going with my wife and our son in June, my parents are doing a family reunion there.
I am so here for the Turtle shirt! 😍🐢
Don't forget, all the casinos charge you for parking, even though you are staying at the the hotel ! Last I was told the parking is around $35-$45 for parking, valet is even more expensive ! Also I believe that the buffets are closed, due to covid19. There may be a cafeteria style of buffet restaurant open, not sure though 🤔
I'm not a Vegas person, but lots of good info.
I was there during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic lots of stuff was closed. I would recommend going after all that is over or not as bad.
Great tips and insight!
Great advice, listen People👌
Before COVID - renting a car in Vega was like $20/day and Ubering would cost more than that if you went to a few places
Just discovered you guys on the 5th of july,2021..will use your tips,THANKS MUCH WHAT A CUTE PAIR YOU ARE...AWE
Awesome vids, love watching all of them!
I live in Vegas I didn’t even know there was electric scooters
Hey guys! I'm not a Vegas person, but I so enjoy your videos that it doesn't matter lol. You're definitely a bright spot in this weird covid existence. Maddie, girl, you're rocking your post explant self with that adorable halter! So glad you seem to be doing great. Thanks for the vids, as I use your Mexico vids to keep me inspired while I plan my years-long dream to move there!
Just finished binge watching all your videos! I REALLY enjoyed following all you're adventures and now I'm sad that I'm up to date! You are such a cute couple and of course Laska is absolutely adorable!! You're video quality and content are great ! My family and I LOVE Mexico, in fact we will be vacationing in Riviera Maya next week....can't wait!! Looking forward to more videos, keep up the great work!!
Born and Raised here in Vegas, and everything you said was SPOT ON!!! Many blessings to you both from Viva Las Vegas. Semper Fidelis, Captain T, USMC
When I was in Vegas I stayed at the MGM really enjoyed it. I don't gamble much when I do it's mainly 21 I play. I mainly go to the shows and attend the NFR. I really enjoy spending time on Freemont. I do have a question, do you ever go to Key west? I went there 5 years ago but only got to spend 2 days, planning on going back soon. Just wanted to know your opinion on key west if you have been there and yes I'm a big Jimmy Buffett fan a true pariothead LoL 😆 thanks and be safe on your adventures.
AS A VEGAS LOCAL... i can tell you that the bus routes on the Strip are NOT slow or crowded... nor do you have to wait a long time for the bus... our busses run 24 hours a day ~
There are 2 bus routes on the strip.... one or the other arrives every 6 minutes !
The DEUCE(double decker) that makes 34 stops in 7 miles
The SDX (Strip Downtown Xpress) that makes 17 stops in 7 miles ... only at every 3rd hotel
PLEASE DONT BELIEVE HER INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT
it does not take 90 minutes to go the length of the strip, from the airport to fremont street downtown
You can also purchase a 24 hour pass for the bus for $8.00 and is good for all 44 routes in the Las Vegas Valley
I had the Bacchanal buffet at Caesar's like 4 times and the Wicked Spoon at the Cosmo twice, but I've heard positive things about Wynn... how would you compare it to the others?
Just got back from Vegas a couple days ago, last time I went was about 5-6 years ago, seemed like their was a lot more drug addicts and really messed up people hanging around on the strip
They have cleaned it up a bit, they are still around but not like the old days
