Really appreciate your cost breakdown videos. While the Wynn, Venetian, and so on are fantastic resorts , it’s good to see that there are some lower cost options that are still very nice. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate knowing how much I've saved by being a Caesars Diamond member, which until now I obtained from hotel chain status matching. My upcoming 4-night stay at Flamingo will cost me $73 as for some reason Thursday was more expensive than usual. Before covid they started to renovate the hotel rooms, so one of the towers has new rooms, and the other doesn't as they stopped when travel diminished during 2020. I almost never eat here. Breakfast at Ellis Island is a good deal, and a relatively short walk. In summer best to go early before it gets hot. McDonalds for breakfast is a short walk down the strip and opens at 7. For late night, Stage Door down the street has beer and a hotdog for $3. One reason Flamingo is my favorite hotel is how central it is for walking to other casinos.
You know what I like about you? You pay your way and give honest advice and reviews. No comped rooms and perks because you shill for the casinos like others do. Just total honest stuff. Maybe you have a rich Uncle somewhere because the meals you eat are beyond belief. But you are very entertaining and tell it like it is.
As someone who works in bars, we appreciate you always verbally saying that you tip on the bills. Especially in Vegas, and I do it too, people looking for the best value deals. But you gotta remember to tip
Canadian here. I liked your tour and cost reviews. Nice! Thanks for being so straightforward about having fun and enjoying the stay. WE WANT FUN.! Lol. Our first Vegas trip so we have this and Paris Vegas on the radar. I like the low key and closeness to other places for La flamant rose. Lol. Our vacay pkg is $2100 CA for hotel, flight and flight cancellation. Was that Hells Kitchen Ramsay next door!? I’m in. Thanks again. I haven’t watched if you did Paris Vegas yet but I will. Take care.
My first trip to Vegas I stayed at the Flamingo so it holds a special place in my heart. I’m in Vegas now, have been here for a week and I love Margaritaville as well. I try to go every trip.
I just went back thru your videos and appreciate how you have evolved your channel. Would you consider a stay at Ballys in LV before it's transformed into the new "horseshoe" concept? It's location on the strip is perfect and shares a bit of the same history as Flamingo. Also, a review of Paris would be appealing if it interests you? Be that as it may, I enjoy your content and enjoy your posts!
Thanks for the breakdown of the cost. Last time visit Vegas was Dec 2017 that is when they start implementing the parking fees and resort fees. I agree that they should get rid of the resort fees or just add to the hotel cost.
loved the flamingo vlog especially the prices of dinners thank you for the vlog we own a condo there and are always looking for new places to eat as there as so many. happy summer to you
We love your videos!! The costs of going to Vegas are sky high and it’s great to know in advance what you’re getting into. My heartbreak happened at the bellagio this time-my husband and I have this tradition where we go have wine and cheese in the bellagio lobby piano bar where we first decided to get married. The cheapest glass was $40!! IMO they need to clean it up a little bit to command that kind of price. It’s become an over-run Disneyland. The street performers are super aggressive. They need to clamp down on that. It’s never a good idea to chase strangers from behind and not consistent with a walk to an $800 dinner. If they want to be elegant, they need to create more of this experience. Vegas has always been wild, but it’s become more like Disneyland.
Thank you for all the information, will be staying there in August, good thing is to have points for complimentary nights, 4 nights for us, will be paying the reservation fees, but it's less than $200 for 4 nights.
I always thought a high-limit machine should at least spit out a drink ticket when it burns through without a single hit. They could call it "Drown your sorrows"!
You should check out the happy hour at Herbs and Rye, and do a stand alone video on it. It’s a steak house and I believe at happy hour everything is half off including the food.
Dude I just checked my rates for a random week in August I am comp’d Sunday-Thursday and Friday is a $25 night. When I checked out which rooms were available the first room I came to that they wanted to charge me $25 a night for was the Go Room. There were 4 other options above it that were all comp’d Players cards are were it’s at! I was just at the Flamingo last month it was $400 for my room including all fees. I got a day bed at the pool which was $550 plus an extra 100 because the 4 of us went over the minimum of $250 we had to spend plus tip of our waitress was probably $700 (worth every penny) We also ate at B&M for 4 people we got the seafood tower plus a couple of drinks the bill was $400. Mainly gambled at the hotel started off with $1000 got down to less then $100 then my 3 card poker hit and I was back over $500. I came home with $750 so lost $250. We didn’t make it to Margaritaville this trip but love their nachos and the best damn Margarita you want to hit that place during happy hour. I’m with you as far as C&C not that impressed ate there once haven’t been back since
I use to go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, ah, that was in the 90s, then Wall Street bought the strip. Leave the finance guys to up invent resort fees. when I was shooting dice the pit boss would offer me a $25 voucher for any of the property. Now I live in Mich. and we have our casinos and no fees whatsoever
Again, if you get the Diamond Card, there are no Resort Fees & with MGM Rewards, there are no Resort Fees for Royal Caribbean, upper tier members (status match to Gold).
What is your zodiac sign? You remind me of a Taurus I have couple friends who are Taurus and they love fancy foods and fancy lavish things. I’m just curious. I’m a Virgo and I like fancy things but not to your extent. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you!
Pretty cool video and channel. I have two questions. One, given all the food you consume during these hotel stays, how are you not morbidly obese? And two, what do you do for a living? Given the expensive nature of your hotel stays, I find it hard to believe you are paying your bills from viewership. The world is waiting for your answer.
It makes more sense to go to the drugstore they're all over the place, especially if you rent a car. It's a must that you pick up a lot of bottled water because you can't drink the tap water there for sure. The weight of it alone in your shoe case is too much.
1) I have two 70 pound suitcases and two carry on’s at 30lb each. That’s 200 pounds of luggage already. It’s not humanly possible to carry or bring more luggage. 2) You can’t carry-on drinks anyway 3) There’s no economical sense to doing that - the costs savings are minimal
exactly, especially if I make one run per hotel stay. That would be 9 runs total and several suitcases full of items. For me, that theory doesn;t work for a litany of reasons. If someone was going for a shorter stay and had room in their luggage, it would make sense.
I love your costs video's. Hold up, I like all your videos. Great work sir
Appreciate it Leon
You are the only Vegas reviewer that does cost review videos. So incredibly helpful, thank you !
Awesome videos! You shine light on places that I would’ve overlooked. Keep it up!

I look for your content, DAILY ! 😀🇺🇸
I’m trying to bring the daily videos 💪
Solid video!! Can't wait for the Bugsy & Meyers review
I really like your videos, Coolist you have become one of my favorite travel vlogs. 👍👍

I really enjoy these vids. VERY helpful. Cheers!
Dang those power bars must be pricey. $110 at CVS. Loved the video!
You never forget your first. Long live the Flamingo!
My first trip to Vegas I stayed at the Flamingo so it holds a special place in my heart. I’m in Vegas now, have been here for a week and I love Margaritaville as well. I try to go every trip.
Ever tried the $20 sandwich trick at check in? Build that into your repertoire. Could save you resort fees, room upgrades, etc.
Try a 50 now in Bidens America

Great video. I tune in to all your work!
Appreciate the support Sean
Love seeing your CVS runs, gives me some ideas.
It looks like an expensive run and i guess it is, but spread across four days that’s only $28 to stay satiated and hydrated.
@@Coolist 💯. We are going to the Elara Monday through Friday and have already been plotting our course thanks to your vids.
loved the flamingo vlog especially the prices of dinners thank you for the vlog we own a condo there and are always looking for new places to eat as there as so many. happy summer to you
I love your videos too. You look like you're having BIG FUN!
thanks renee 😃
Enjoy the videos! Would definitely stay at Flamingo again. Your review was spot on!!
Thanks Becky 🤙🏻
I recommend (Aqua Panna Water) from Tuscany if you haven’t tried it.
We love your videos!! The costs of going to Vegas are sky high and it’s great to know in advance what you’re getting into.

Thank you for all the information, will be staying there in August, good thing is to have points for complimentary nights, 4 nights for us, will be paying the reservation fees, but it's less than $200 for 4 nights.
So how much was it in total? With the security deposit and all deposit for your stay?
I highly recommend the Stryker Special. He's a great bartender!
Love the videos
Heading there tomorrow, pumped!
I found the Flamingo pool noisy but fun.
Prefer the beach at Mandalay Bay or the MGM pool.
Love the habitat at the Flamingo.
you dont miss a thing,very cool!
Hellyeah Margaritaville is always fun!!! 🙌
Love your videos!❤
😃 Thanks Lorie
Please stay at Planet Hollywood if you can 🙏🏻 been curious if it’s any good.
Great content, great videos.
You need to hit up that fairly new target right there on the strip, way cheaper
Flamingo best Pool in Vegas!
I'll be there next 2 weeks,, and didn't expect that much $$$$
I always thought a high-limit machine should at least spit out a drink ticket when it burns through without a single hit. They could call it "Drown your sorrows"!
You should check out the happy hour at Herbs and Rye, and do a stand alone video on it. It’s a steak house and I believe at happy hour everything is half off including the food.
love your videos but you need to find a target or walmart close by and stock up for much lower prices
HI bud thx for all or vids
Encore or Wynn? And can you do a top five of both resorts
Thanks
Shoutout to that person who covered up that smoke alarm 😜😂

4 nights real nice!
Flamingo my hotel when i go to las vegas👍
My favorite Bar there is Bugsy's.
Ticket to fly, I need to try it.
You rock.
Hey, just wondering where you are from??
Do you actually eat everything you order?
recommend to try the "rio" one of the large rooms with a view 1100, 1200, or 1600 sqft would like to hear your review on the room, establishment
Rio is ghetto
I use to go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year, ah, that was in the 90s, then Wall Street bought the strip.

do you ever rent a car on your travels, and go to the local grocery store, stock up there
This is hotel really cheap and do they have hot tubs in there room?
What tier are you at Caesars?
Love all your videos! I wish you would quit winking at me cutie! Lol
masquerade suite, 1 king, strip view, 1600 sq ft :) at rio
Did you say you bought a "melk"?
How much do they hold on your card for accidental fees?
Man, I think $150 a night. Somewhere around there...
What is your zodiac sign? You remind me of a Taurus I have couple friends who are Taurus and they love fancy foods and fancy lavish things. I’m just curious. I’m a Virgo and I like fancy things but not to your extent. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you!

Staying there in November
early november is one of my absolute favorite times to visit LV
Here now. Never coming back to this place. Rather stay at Ballys
Must be nice to be rich 😮
If you are an M life card holder the. those properties refund your resort fee.
Ouch. 20 dead spins in a row. I've been there.
first
Resort fees such a rip off. I can't eat raw steak.
How do you afford to spend $300 for a dinner?
Isn’t that where Elvis used to stay?
Man, this guy needs to think about becoming a friend of Bob's. Were he to skip the booze, the tab would be cut in half!
Why not just pack a second carry on packed with your favorite snacks and protein drinks so you can skip the $100 cvs run🤔
It makes more sense to go to the drugstore they're all over the place, especially if you rent a car. It's a must that you pick up a lot of bottled water because you can't drink the tap water there for sure. The weight of it alone in your shoe case is too much.

@@lisah5784 I drink the tap water and put in propel powder. Just fine for me.
Vegas has become a tourist trap!
$1,500 if you're not a gambler. Add at least another G if you are! Lol lol
