this place back in the day when it was owned by best western it was call best western mardi gra, now it's just called mardi gra, during covid i stayed there for 2 weeks and they were housing displaced people and the cops where there all the time, but at one time it was a awesome place.
4 Queens has no resort fee and I believe the Downtown Grand as well. The actual reason these hotels charge resort fees is because they have to pay a percentage of the room rate to the third-party booking platform such as Expedia. So if the room is listed as thirty bucks, Expedia only gets a percentage of that. The resort fee is collected and one hundred percent of that stays in house. Sooooooo, they politely ask their customers to bend the $%^ over and accept their dishonest fees. Not much better than car dealers with their dishonest fees.
I used to travel a lot for work and now I solely work from home. I have to admit I miss the new places, the hotels, meeting new people, being the interesting stranger in town, and just the solitude of being a lone traveler. There’s a peace that I cannot explain but being in a place where no one could find you gives you a really nice feeling of being safe. Being anonymous I guess
I don't travel to Vegas all that much. Honestly, I have better fun in Reno. When I do go I always stay with friends who have a home in Henderson. I also have them pick me up at the airport and I rent a car off the airport property if I am going to be there for more than a day. The "fees" charged to travelers all over the US have gotten out of hand.
I stayed at the Paris Hotel in Vegas last month,pre payed for the room 2 months in advance, and when we checked in I was told there was a $50 per night resort fee. I was told that the city of Las Vegas enforced the charge.What a scam
There is security. They may be walking around but I know they usually stand in the casino area. Cant believe the name has stayed the same. Dont leave anything of value in rooms🥴 Bad area in general.🙏🏼🙏🏼
I don't like how businesses take advantage. A resort fee is just another way of all of LV hotels to add an extra charge. Everyone does it, so lets all do it.
The resort fees were originally put into place to cover costs for amenities. You know the indoor pool costs. The spa and gym equipment provided. Also to service bars at the patios need to be staffed. Reliable high speed internet for you laptops connection in their business center. Oh, and don't forget the guest information desk were you can get advice on concerts, tours and hotel escort services. Wow five dollars covers all that! Amazing.
Wow. This looks like where I used to live. lol. I had a PO Box that shows up in records, but I forgot the address of this place...always meant to go back. I will always remember signing a lease (monthly) that warned me to not run a ...well, "business that has johns" out of my apartment. Never had that disclaimer on any other lease in my life, but that's the only one I signed in Vegas.
If you are still in Las Vegas could you go to the oasis motel and do a story on Stu Unger. One of the greatest poker players ever to play the game the best Gin Rummy player in the world . Passed away broke at the Oasis Motel in Vegas. Also if you could go visit his grave if possible 😎
Lamont. Word from the wise. I enjoy your videos, but stop telling people where you are all the time and especially your room number. You are very popular on TH-cam, and people are nuts out here. Just be careful.
He tells people where he is but posts his videos after he has already left. Even when he does a “live” he is vague about his exact location. He is pretty savvy.
Yeah but that place is such a dump and dangerous as hell. Free entertainment with all of the drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes in the parking lot. I especially enjoyed the police activity at the apartment complex across the street. Oh, make sure you check under the beds for trash from past guests. SMH.
Resort fees are t cover internet, at 5.00 for resort fee can’t expect the best internet, I work for a resort in Florida our fee is 22.00 covers internet, cable tv, parking
I like the entrance how it's on the outside and you can get in instead of having going inside a hotel to get to your room because I like to put My clothes in trash bags because I don't wanna get bed bugs and I wanna just throw away the bag when I get home instead of putting it in luggage where bugs can go in and dirt can go on it It work it works it's lightweight you know you throw it away when you get home the bag. I know it's weird This 1 time we we stayed at the Mirabella hotel solvang And you know how hard it was to To sneak in the trash bags without people seeing it cause it's embarrassing But we managed to do it
I don't think the the hotels/motels don't have control over the resort fees. You need to get yourself an RV, you can avoid the fees you complain about. Or start paying a little more for better quality. Like the ole saying goes "you get what you pay for" but, I think you enjoy finding the dumps so you can have something to complain about.

Thank you for this review. Because everybody always does reviews on the nice hotels, but we need more reviews on the budget hotels/Motel
Yes, please do a vlog on the sphere 🟤

Do a Sphere video@!
Yes
Love your videos ...and the down to earth "everyman" feel they bring .....thanks for all your content across all your channels .
I love when you do reviews. Restaurants and where you stay. 😊
Thanks for the tip. Be careful and try to stay safe.
At least it was clean. Looked pretty good to me. Stay safe Lamont.~~~~~~Sherry
Lamont! I haven’t seen you in years. I’m glad you are still doing your thing. 👍👍👍
Love your reviews!!!!!
Bless you brother.
Thanks for the advice. I hate those resort fees. I stayed at Planet Hollywood last time I was in Las Vegas
The resort fee is like how car dealerships add fees to their car prices?
Bless you!
Thanks for giving me a good laugh!
A video where Lamont isn’t bitching ?? I’ll finally give a like.
I love a hotel with some character like that one.
You need to find a drive-in movie theater, Sleep, wifi, Watch a movie, and you'll feel right at home. If you could find one.
Resort fee?? U on an island?? Beach?? WTH resort?? 💚
He's in Las Vegas
Every hotel in Vegas has resort fees
I notice that wen there's a convention or a major event them fees are high
That Sphere thing is fun to watch I think! Hope I have a view of it when there in May.
4 Queens has no resort fee and I believe the Downtown Grand as well.

You are correct for the reason for resort fees. Too bad the maker of this video doesn't understand that...
God bless you Lamont

Lamont's Real Estate qnd affordable living.
When I went to Las Vegas 5 years ago I stayed there. It was really cheap and close to the strip
hey lamont u need too do the story of leslie palacios murder here in vegas…im surprised u haven’t done it i know her family
Silver Sevens is better about 10mins away

Hmmm . . . I guess it's dangerous as hell right there . . .
I hope you find some stories from Southern Oregon & come to vlog, I love your work :)
Bless you
I really like Mardi Gras hotel. I've stayed there about a dozen times over the years!
I just got surprised with one at Excalibur, I pre paid through a service and got hit with a $75 resort fee and $100 security deposit.
Last time I visited Vegas was when my daughter turned 21 which was 2014. Homeless beggers everywhere.
I lived in Las Vegas in a bad neighborhood years ago. I don't miss it at all. 😜
👋🏼 Lamont! Be careful out there ❤
That place was recently renovated
😮
Skkkkkketch...
I stayed at the Paris Hotel in Vegas last month,pre payed for the room 2 months in advance, and when we checked in I was told there was a $50 per night resort fee. I was told that the city of Las Vegas enforced the charge.What a scam
They lied. lol. It is a scam so hotels list a cheaper price in mostly online reservations while hiding their real price. It is nefarious.
If you booked online, it tells you about the resort fee in your reservation.
Nice big tip for the housekeeping….very generous sir
Thumbs up friend 🌈
At least its not by the strip traffic
In the good old days you could get rooms right on the strip for next to nothing. They wanted to get you there to get you into their casino.
There is security. They may be walking around but I know they usually stand in the casino area. Cant believe the name has stayed the same. Dont leave anything of value in rooms🥴 Bad area in general.🙏🏼🙏🏼
I know in Laughlin sunday to thursday they charge about twenty five thirty dollars but fifty for deposit but we got it back.
Hopefully you also left a tip for the housekeeper! I like the Sphere, nice view!
I don't like how businesses take advantage. A resort fee is just another way of all of LV hotels to add an extra charge. Everyone does it, so lets all do it.
Always use a debit card at a hotel and always charge back if they try to scam you...worked 3 times for me already I get around

@@00pinkman00I don't believe that no way 🤥
Try Flagstaff Arizona. Charging $50 "resort" fees in the winter.
Last year stayed at Paris they put a $450 "Hold" which I would get back on check out. After several calls nothing they kept the $450
You should have ask for a room with with an ocean front view
In Vegas? 😂
Good one
Looks shady
Oh no! What did people do before the TV remote?😂
That’s what kids were for back in the 60’s and 70’s.
Paradise Huh
Wow. This looks like where I used to live. lol. I had a PO Box that shows up in records, but I forgot the address of this place...always meant to go back.
I will always remember signing a lease (monthly) that warned me to not run a ...well, "business that has johns" out of my apartment. Never had that disclaimer on any other lease in my life, but that's the only one I signed in Vegas.
Lamontus
So many things happened there
Booking now! 😂
you should do a video about the sphere
Not to complain like” I normally do “😂💀
It’s for the 🎉 bar mitzvah
Charge
Hi Lamont be safe
Wish you interviewed that 5am chick
in tacoma washington....
The "stupid sphere thing", tell it like it is Lamont. That's why I like your channel.
God Bless You 😂😂😂 🙏 For The Sneeze . You Sound A Little Nasal ,Maybe A Head Cold 😔 Feel Better Soon
Hope you left a nice tip
ALWAYS CHECK FOR BED BUGS!!! BEFORE YOU BRONG YOUR STUFF IN!
Everything is so risky 👀 🦉
Yes, lift up the corners of the mattress and look there.
And spy cameras, a lot of creepy people out there.
They can take that$ 5 Resort fee and buy remotes for TV'S that don't have them lol
Why don’t you stay in one of those nice Hotels in Vegas and do a video.
Come to Knoxville tn man
Yesterday in Las Vegas....a guy in downtown LV killed another guy and ate his eye and ear.
Is that the U2 Sphere ??
Totally agree with you Lamont. Would be a great advertising line - no resort fees as it is a sore point with most travellers.
Hotel Apache downtown does not have a resort fee. I had a horrible experience though. I'd love to see you do a review of it
What is that Spear thing?It looks pretty cool
Sphere. New thing in Vegas. Google it.
Lamont, do you really believe that the plural of "fee" iinvolves an apostrophe?
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Hopefully you didn't inhale any bedbugs in your lungs, Lamont.
Black Light Uncle ???
🙄 Oh for God's sakes, stop calling him "uncle", it sounds stupid!!!
I've never heard of a resort fee. But I've never been to Vegas.
If you are still in Las Vegas could you go to the oasis motel and do a story on Stu Unger. One of the greatest poker players ever to play the game the best Gin Rummy player in the world . Passed away broke at the Oasis Motel in Vegas. Also if you could go visit his grave if possible 😎
Be safe and take care lamont

yr on paradise and twain😅 not boulder hwy this time lamont
Must be a dusty room 😂😂
Say Lamont on the run really cool video what's the name of this hotel and how much for a night
Sphere is not stupid
It's very stupid
8.8
If you started doing cruises also, this would expand your market on TH-cam.

Police substation is right behind there literally

Vegas is a dump...just saying-
Now, you can enjoy the resort perk, whatever that might be being as you can't watch TV or use Wi-Fi.
Love ya Lamont 😊😊❤❤

How much did they charge you per night?
