We agree! Even though it was updated, it still retains its vintage appeal, and we feel like we are stepping back into Old Vegas...with Dan Tanna just around the corner...
Old Las Vegas is what attracted me to Fremont Street. I drove down Fremont back when it was Glitter Gulch in the '70's. The lights! Thought it was fantastic. When the Fremont Street Experience opened in the early '90's I was able to convince Penny to go to Vegas. She never liked the huge hotels on the Strip and Fremont Street was perfect. Even though it was cleaned up a bit the history was still there. We enjoyed The Golden Nugget, Binions, the Fremont, the Plaza, the Las Vegas Club, and the California Club. I thought the 4 Queens was an amazing place, but we didn't go in much as we played Keno and those other places had more choices than the 4 Queens. Ate at Magnolias when Binions was closed for a while and it was indeed excellent. I'll be eating there when I come back in October for the Notre Dame - BYU game. Great video as always.
Hey Bob...OMG I always love when you share a bit of your personal Las Vegas history with us. 🥰 You are so right, if you want history, and the ability to wander from casino to casino with no need for a car, they Fremont Street is your place - no matter what decade! I have found myself spending so much more time there since we started this channel than I ever did before, and my appreciation for it has grown a lot.
Staying at 4 Queens for a quick turn around trip in a few weeks and I loved the video. As a younger guy it's great to see this wholesome content from a lovely couple. Keep it up guys!
I love all the old casinos in Las Vegas. My grandparents visited frequently and I have a fun collection of cocktail stirrers from their visits. Hugo's Cellar is on my list of places to eat on my next trip. I hope you both are feeling better!
G'day Guys from Australia I'm finally heading to Vegas after watching you're Vlog of The Palms I'm staying Thier in May 2023 Reay enjoys the tour and opening of the Palms 🤲
Oh wow, we are so glad you got to join us (virtually) for the big grand opening hoopla! We hope you have a wonderful stay at the Palms - we really really love that property!
I loved this video. The Four Queens represents the 'old downtown (classic) Las Vegas'. I hope it never changes. Part of what made Fremont Street so special in the pre-canopy days was the neon signs and the thousands of light bulbs. The first time I was in Las Vegas was in 1982 and I loved Fremont Street! You could walk down the street and pop in and out of the many casinos. None of the half-mile walks between the resorts on LV Boulevard. I am so glad that I got to experience that on a couple of trips. As for your breakfast Paula, you and I have something in common! I like my eggs 'over hard' or scrambled. I do not like runny eggs. Ugh! If I ever get back to Las Vegas, I will most definitely want to visit Four Queens. In fact, it might be fun to stay downtown for a few nights. Thanks once again, Dale and Paula, for your wonderful channel 👍
And thank YOU, Mike, for sharing your own precious Old Vegas memories - we love reading how our viewers have just as much nostalgia for the good old days as we do! ☺️
I’ve stayed at both towers before . I like the people watching windows of Fremont Street Experience . I got the side room above the stage so it does get loud . I one time got the windows to see the downtown events center and got to see the concerts that night for free in my room view . I saw Kevin at Binions he asked me if I wanted to be on the show I was scared and said no . Thank You for you thorough informative videos very story telling cool . I got my room booked for August at The Golden Gate 50 % percent off Deal . Viva Las Vegas . 🎲🎲🎰💰❤️
First, I love your screen name! And second, seeing concerts from your room is an unadvertised perk, lucky you! We know you will enjoy your Golden Gate getaway...great views from there too!
Big fan of Four Queens and its sister casino Binion's. Such an excellent job describing all that Four Queens has to offer including the interesting history. I love Hugo's Cellar and it's definitely the place I recommend people go to impress a date.:)
After visiting and vlogging both of them recently, I am a big fan too! It's fun being in those two places, I feel very Old Vegas in there. As for Hugo's, yes, that's a great recommendation!
Wow, I can remember a couple years back when that Prime Rib Dinner was $9.99, my how things have changed. Great history to the older Casinos. Thanks for sharing some insight to the downtown area.
We enjoy taking the cameras downtown now and then, mix it up - and we know we have a lot of viewers out there who really love spending part or all of their vacation on Fremont.
Perfect! Thank you just booked Four Queens for first night of NYE trip before we switch to Paris since we get in late evening we aren’t Fremont visitors we prefer Strip
I'm a local. Appreciate all the work you've done in producing these videos! An excellent job. I find very few UA-cam videos of interest, well done, or worth watching. Yours are outstanding. You highlight places many locals may not even know exist: some of the breakfast spots, steakhouses, etc. All it takes is time 'n money. I've got the time.... workin' on the other one.
Oh Golly, I remember all the hotels even on the strip had their coffee shops. It was the first time I realized that people ate steak and eggs for breakfast. You make me want to stay there in the North tower. No resort fees!!!!! I'm in.
LOL you are going to need to stay longer, to fit in everything you want to see and do! And yeah, what passes for a "coffee shop" in the Strip resorts is a far cry from Magnolia's lol! I mean, technically, is the Grand Lux Cafe or Sadelle's a coffee shop?? 😂
What wonderful commentary. I love the history I didn't know, I've lived here over 40 years and I learned something today. I will be staying at the 4 Queens first time this weekend.
We have visited Vegas at this time for the last 12 years. This is the coolest and most humidity we have ever experienced here. We have experienced flash floods here before but nothing like this last storm. Lucky for us we were visiting the Gold Coast and the emergency weather alert came on our phone. We waited out the storm and only saw minor flooding on Las Vegas Blvd. on our way back to Silverton. Loved the history about the Four Queens.
You may be right - these temps are very cool for this time of year. Although, we have experienced monsoon season many many times, and the rain and humidity are not that unusual for late July, early August. It's unpredictable though...last summer we had zero monsoon at all, and this summer it's like living in the Amazon rainforest!
Another great video. I remember in the early 90's they had a lounge singer named Dondino, who sounded like Engelbert! We would pause our Keno and go listen to him in the afternoons. He was great. We will see you guys in August. Jim and Becky.
Please Feel Better guys!!! It was really bad here in las vegas- the floods were AWEFUL!!! I enjoy Magnolias great for a filling and late night food I always share bc its too much 💛💜
Thanks so much, all on the mend over here. 😊 Yep, the floods were very bad, and the cleanup is going to be worse, we feel for everyone who has to fix everything that got messed up.
Thank you so much for this awesome review of Four Queens. Your videos are so informative. I love how you give us so many historical details. I’m happy that you’re both feeling better and of course I’ll be looking forward to your next Sunday adventure!
I have stayed there before and love the North Tower. When you walk off the elevator, you are literally 15 steps from Fremont Street! Excellent video, as per usual :-) !
I really think that is a huge part of the appeal of Downtown Las Vegas - no rental car, no Uber, you just step outside and it's all right in front of you!
So glad you both are feeling better. 4 Queens is my hubby and my favorite casino. Always stay there when we’re in Vegas. We like the old school atmosphere and always eat at Magnolia’s. In fact we don’t venture too far from downtown. My hubby flies radio controlled planes and helicopters so he will be out at William Bennett field, and I will stay in a nice cold casino. Doesn’t get any better for me. Take care
Never have stayed downtown and never had a desire too...but wow you two are definitely changing my mind. 4 Queens and Circa look amazing. Thanks for opening my mind. ❤❤❤
We love doing that on this channel... and even if you choose not to stay, maybe you will go for the afternoon, or a meal, or a concert. Downtown is a very vibrant part of our city, and worlds away from the Strip - amazing that they are literally just a couple miles apart.
@@paulamckenzie we love visiting Fremont, so looking forward to staying down there on our next visit. Stayed at Mirage back in April before it gets imploded. Love your you tube channel ❤️
I'm starting to lean towards staying downtown these days. The prices are out of hand on the strip especially if you have already been to Vegas numerous times and just want to go there to stay up late drinking and gambling and maybe go to a steakhouse. You can always take an Uber to the strip one day. Downtown is a better value and if you go during Summer you won't burn yourself out walking since everything is so close. Not sure I'd stay at the Queens though without a pool.
This comment makes a whole lot of sense - so thank you for laying out your reasoning so clearly! You make a great argument for vacationing in Downtown Las Vegas!
Fantastic video my friends. 👏👏👏You always do an amazing job on your videos. 4 Queens is iconic, such great history there. I haven't stayed there since 2004 but glad they still have no resort fees. Thank you for the history lesson, good to hear Vegas stories. And congratulations on 41 years of marriage.
One thing I like about your videos is that you include a lot of history. My late wife used to love to go to The Golden Nugget. We ate at Lily Langtry's quite a few times. We always seemed to pass on The Four Queens. Those restaurants seem nice.
A nice history. of the 4 Queens. Hope the colds is better. I hear that the storm raised the water level at Lake Mead by 3 inches. Nicely presented and videoed.
DEAR DALE & PAULA, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 4TH OF JULY OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. I LOVE YOU DALE & PAULA. ( CHRISTMAS IN JULY) 🙏 SINCERELY PETER
We have been watching about the recent flooding! We really enjoyed our stay at 4 Queens! We stayed in the Royal Suite. It was quite nice 😊! We have eaten at Magnolias and Chicago Brewing👌! The coupon book that you get when you stay is a great little perk👍! And NO resort fees is Fantastic👍👍! The story about the owner is intriguing. I love the fact that he named it after his 4 daughters…so cool! You guys always give us the best history and information. Thank you for sharing as always. Miss you both❤️!
We knew you had a great stay, but didn't know you had booked the suite - we think those suites are great, and I have a feeling the views are terrific! About the coupon book - if I had known what a sweet deal that was, I would have wanted to mention it in the video.
Love the Four Queens! Back in 1986, my wife hit her first slot jackpot there! When in Vegas, we always stop in and play at the Four Queens! Thanks for the video.
These are not as bad as August of 2003...when the worldwide news was showing fire trucks floating in water. THAT was worse than this one, I think...because it affected the whole valley, not just the resorts.
I have always wondered about the Four Queens. I never hear anything about it. Thanks for enlightening me. Looks decent. Worth a visit inside next time.
I hope both of you are feeling better. Those summer colds are no fun. The floods are no joke. I hope you all are staying safe and dry. We love the history you provide us 💜. We have learned so much. Get some rest and let us know how you are feeling.
We are doing much better, Debbie, thank you! We are safe and dry, yes, and glad of it! We too love history, and are glad so many of you are loving it along with us. 🥰
LOVE the history you include in your vlogs and the slow but easy pace (including menus) that you take as you let us peruse *through your eyes* what each casino offers. Will def be checking out the playlists!!
The history you guys give us is so great and informative. I have said it before but I would love to sit down with both of you and just talk and visit! Thank you so much for your videos and all that you do! You two are the sweetest couple on UA-cam! Be safe!!!!
Ohh Todd, this is SUCH a lovely comment, thank you so much! 🥰 We truly love reminiscing and talking about Old Vegas...and we are so grateful that there are folks out there like you who get into it as much as we do.
That's funny Paula with the steak n eggs 🥚 🥩🥓 at 8am I'm originally from upstate NY but living in Vegas since 2003 I still like to eat it once awhile all though haven't lately
Wow, thanks for the 400+ videos and playlists! The 4 Queens was my Dad's favorite. When I worked at the old City Hall (now Zappos) we'd eat at Magnolia's-good food and service! Hope your'e feeling better.
What a beautiful place in Reno! A funny side note when my kids, who are grown are talking to me and we're making like a grocery list I will always say to them anything else Paula? And they just look at me like I'm crazy and then I explained myself one of my UA-camrs says that! I think it's funny!!
I am in St. Louis and we have had our share of flooding this week as well. We had a year of rain in just a few hours and then 2 days later more rain and flash flooding. Love that you showed the front of the hotel. Usually we just see the side from the fremont experience. Will definitely have to check out that's lobby and coral reef!. Thanks for another great video! ❤️❤️❤️
Whew, Linda, I hope you are all good and dry over there! There is a whole lot of water this week where it shouldn't be, and it's causing tragedy and heartache, that's for sure. We do love to walk around these places outside, give you a feel for where they are - because as you say, too often you only see that one side, what's under the canopy.
4queens has special place in my heart the only property IV stayed in downtown and I enjoyed my stay and magnolias is great too. I think it's time for u2 to have a break and get back to Scotland it's well overdue Paula.... Dale's salmon is waiting for him... Stay safe u2
LOL ohhh do NOT tempt me with the whole Scotland thing...I don't think it's in the cards anytime soon, so put that salmon on ice. 😄 So glad you have good memories of the 4 Queens, and happy to have taken you down memory lane with this one!
I've stayed at the Four Queens many times through the years. Always enjoyed my stays there. The employees are the best, from Front Desk, Cashier Cage, Restaurant Servers, they are great. Something I found out a year or so ago, Magnolia's has another dining room behind the Veranda area so it's much larger than it looks.
We love hearing endorsements directly from our viewers who have had good experiences at these spots - thank you for writing! And yes, I did see those other rooms and did a quick pan of them, but they didn't fit into the piece very well so we didn't include them.
Yep I think there's a lot of that going around - not as bad as January, when everybody everywhere was sick, but still annoying. Hope you recovered fully! 😊
ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS FROM YOU GUYS. THE FOUR QUEENS IS MY VERY FAVORITE PLACE TO STAY, EAT AND GAMBLE IN LAS VEGAS. I STAY AT THE 4 QUEENS AT LEAST 6-8 TIMES A YEAR. THE FOOD THERE IS SOME OF MY TOP CHOICES WITH MANY OTHERS CLOSE BY. THE CHICAGO BREWERY IS DELICIOUS TOO PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU CAN SOMETIME. THE PIZZA AND FILET SLIDERS ARE MY RECOMMENDATION. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT CHICAGO DOG WITH FRIES FOR JUST $7.99. UNFORTUNATELY, DON’T GET THE CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA. SADLYY, IT’S JUST MORE DOUGH, NOT THE REAL DEEP DISH LIKE GIORDANOS ON THE STEIP BY BALLYS. THAT’S MY FAVORITE IN VEGAS AND CHICAGO. THANKS AGAIN F0R THESE AMAZING VIDEOS.
You are most welcome - and thank YOU for such an enthusiastic and helpful comment! We haven’t eaten at that Chicago Brewing, but have had dinner lots of times at the stand-alone location out on Sahara and Fort Apache…terrific! 😊
I HOPE YOU BOTH ARE FEELING MUCH BETTER. SUCH A NICE HOTEL AND THE FOOD LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK. WOW 41 YEARS OF MARRIAGE SO AMAZING. 👏👏👏
I have eaten at magnolias before and I was quite satisfied. When I come there in October I will be staying at the four Queens so this video was very beneficial for me thank you forgive me all this great information. Always another great video Dale and Paula I greatly appreciate you two and the music 👍🏾
Back in the late 80s and early 90s in the 4 Queens Casino there was a stage and on Friday nights and Saturday nights a Jazz Big Band played and it was simulcasted on a radio station in Las Vegas!
Your videos are a great source of information for anyone!! I've been to 4 Queens for a stay once or twice 20 years ago. It was a very small comfy room. I wonder now with all of the bands if it's so quiet...
I can't say from experience - never having stayed there - but some of our viewers are commenting that it's noisy, others that it's not. It must depend which tower and which room.
So glad you guys are feeling better. I was worried about you guys when I heard about the flooding. Glad you didn’t float away. My nephew lives there also and said it was just crazy. By the way, great video! I love the Four Queens, another Vegas icon. Take care.
It was crazy, yes! Honestly we were shocked at the footage we saw the next morning, but still we are lucky when you compare it with what is happening in Kentucky....
I am glad you are both feeling better! I loved gambling at the 4 Queens! I always stayed at the Golden Nugget, but I made the rounds to all the downtown venues. I loved eating at Hugos Cellar...a first-class steakhouse! Thanks for sharing a blast from the past! You are so appreciated! Love the new playlists!!! Hugs!
So glad you are a Downtown fan, and that you have personally enjoyed all it has to offer. We ourselves have gained a new appreciation for it, just by making vlogs for you guys! Glad you think the playlists are helpful! 😊
You’re so right about the storms on Thursday. We’ve lived here 10 years and that was a pretty big one. It sounded like rocks hitting our bedroom windows. We actually had dinner at Magnolia one time with a relative and it was pretty good. We still need to make our way to Hugo Cellar and check that out. Talk soon! J&K
Believe it or not, we have never been to Hugo's either, go figure! Now the floods in August of 2003 were before you arrived here, but they were really bad because they affected the entire valley, the neighborhoods, not just the resorts.
We have stayed there in the south tower, nice rooms. The food is good, we do visit on our trips to LV, but now stay at The Plaza. Anyway The 4 Queens is a very nice property, but they need to start updating their rooms and control homeless bothering guest. Wow saw the flooding on the news, here on the Texas Gulf Coast it has been dry and humid making the air heavy with 106 feel like weather. Already have our B-day trip planned and yes will visit The Four Queens
I am sure you speak from personal experience, with regard to the need for updating, and controlling the bothering thing. We have never stayed there, so we trust the input from you guys out there on stuff like that. It is much more humid than usual here, and hot - which makes it feel like we live in the Amazon rainforest!

Magnolias has been our favorite breakfast place for years
I can see why! It’s a classic, and such a cute room too.
Four Queens is such an icon! I love visiting there every time I come to town. It reminds me of that great 1970's TV show Vega$.
Great show. Good call
We agree! Even though it was updated, it still retains its vintage appeal, and we feel like we are stepping back into Old Vegas...with Dan Tanna just around the corner...

I 100% agree! The old casinos and hotels downtown are so cool. So much history. I've been filming them a lot lately
Love that you guys were able to visit Vegas before it became more popular and can tell us more fun facts
I agree that watching your videos is a history lesson and very enjoyable. Well done!
Thank you Joe - we are just glad you that watch us enjoy the history…because we sure do 😊
Dale is very conscientious about LV history and the places you visit.
We always have breakfast there. We are there so often we've gotten to know some of the staff. My favorite. Good video poker.
Ok so that’s great - when the staff gets to know you, they will always make sure your food and service are top notch! 😊
Love your 4 queens walk through. This casino is one of my favorites on Freemont. Such a classic
Thanks so much - this one really struck a chord with so many of our viewers - we had no idea it was such a sentimental favorite! 😊
G'day Guys from Australia I'm finally heading to Vegas after watching you're Vlog of The Palms I'm staying Thier in May 2023 Reay enjoys the tour and opening of the Palms 🤲

I have a denim Four Queens jacket from years ago. Watching your video makes me want to dig it out. Thank you very much!
OK so you know that is probably worth something on eBay?! If you find it, would love to see a pic. 😄
Perfect! Thank you just booked Four Queens for first night of NYE trip before we switch to Paris since we get in late evening we aren’t Fremont visitors we prefer Strip
OK this is a sweet itinerary, mixing things up! And being at Paris is perfect to be in the thick of the New Years' action!!
You two take care and feel better very soon. Stay safe - you are a national treasure!
Aww that just make my whole day - we are on the mend, all good here. National treasure??! 🥰🥰

Thank you so much, this is really a terrific compliment, especially coming from a local. 😊
Thanks for another great video. BTW, I have it on good authority that scotch will cure the very ailment with which you were afflicted.
LOL don't think we didn't try it! My Dad used to swear by a shot of Cutty Sark to cure a cold!
Oh Golly, I remember all the hotels even on the strip had their coffee shops. It was the first time I realized that people ate steak and eggs for breakfast. You make me want to stay there in the North tower. No resort fees!!!!! I'm in.
LOL you are going to need to stay longer, to fit in everything you want to see and do! And yeah, what passes for a "coffee shop" in the Strip resorts is a far cry from Magnolia's lol! I mean, technically, is the Grand Lux Cafe or Sadelle's a coffee shop?? 😂

What wonderful commentary. I love the history I didn't know, I've lived here over 40 years and I learned something today. I will be staying at the 4 Queens first time this weekend.

Please Feel Better guys!!! It was really bad here in las vegas- the floods were AWEFUL!!! I enjoy Magnolias great for a filling and late night food I always share bc its too much 💛💜
Thanks so much, all on the mend over here. 😊 Yep, the floods were very bad, and the cleanup is going to be worse, we feel for everyone who has to fix everything that got messed up.

HI there Donna - and thank YOU for always being out there watching and leaving lovely comments. We do love our history lol! 😁
I learn more and more about Vegas and it's land marks. thank you for these videos..
We love it that you come along with us for the tours and the history lessons! 😊

FYI, it’s two for one meals on your BIRTHDAY at Magnolia’s🥳. Can’t beat that.🤩
No kidding!!! THAT is a deal!
Thanks for sharing the "old" Vegas that I love!
Clearly you can tell, we love it too!! 😊
So glad you both are feeling better. 4 Queens is my hubby and my favorite casino. Always stay there when we’re in Vegas. We like the old school atmosphere and always eat at Magnolia’s. In fact we don’t venture too far from downtown. My hubby flies radio controlled planes and helicopters so he will be out at William Bennett field, and I will stay in a nice cold casino.

That sounds like a lovely vacation itinerary to me!! Totally relaxing! 😊
Never have stayed downtown and never had a desire too...but wow you two are definitely changing my mind. 4 Queens and Circa look amazing. Thanks for opening my mind. ❤❤❤

You are so kind, thank YOU for the lovely comment! 🥰
I'm starting to lean towards staying downtown these days. The prices are out of hand on the strip especially if you have already been to Vegas numerous times and just want to go there to stay up late drinking and gambling and maybe go to a steakhouse.
You can always take an Uber to the strip one day. Downtown is a better value and if you go during Summer you won't burn yourself out walking since everything is so close.
Not sure I'd stay at the Queens though without a pool.
This comment makes a whole lot of sense - so thank you for laying out your reasoning so clearly! You make a great argument for vacationing in Downtown Las Vegas!
Once you do you wont go back to the strip, the entertanment value is way better dn town.
We are at Magnolias now - all because of your video. It was great!
Fantastic video my friends. 👏👏👏You always do an amazing job on your videos.
4 Queens is iconic, such great history there. I haven't stayed there since 2004 but glad they still have no resort fees.
Thank you for the history lesson, good to hear Vegas stories. And congratulations on 41 years of marriage.
Thanks so much, 41 years has literally flown by, and I mean it! We do love our Vegas history, and we love sharing it with you - glad you enjoy it. 😊
100% agreed. The 4 Queens is SUCH a classic. I'm a big fan of it and El Cortez
One thing I like about your videos is that you include a lot of history. My late wife used to love to go to The Golden Nugget. We ate at Lily Langtry's quite a few times. We always seemed to pass on The Four Queens. Those restaurants seem nice.
A nice history. of the 4 Queens. Hope the colds is better. I hear that the storm raised the water level at Lake Mead by 3 inches. Nicely presented and videoed.
We heard that too - woo hoo!!! The silver lining to all this.
DEAR DALE & PAULA,
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 4TH OF JULY OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. I LOVE YOU DALE & PAULA. ( CHRISTMAS IN JULY) 🙏
SINCERELY PETER
We have been watching about the recent flooding! We really enjoyed our stay at 4 Queens! We stayed in the Royal Suite. It was quite nice 😊! We have eaten at Magnolias and Chicago Brewing👌! The coupon book that you get when you stay is a great little perk👍! And NO resort fees is Fantastic👍👍! The story about the owner is intriguing. I love the fact that he named it after his 4 daughters…so cool! You guys always give us the best history and information. Thank you for sharing as always. Miss you both❤️!
We knew you had a great stay, but didn't know you had booked the suite - we think those suites are great, and I have a feeling the views are terrific! About the coupon book - if I had known what a sweet deal that was, I would have wanted to mention it in the video.
@@paulamckenzie we were surprised by the coupon book as well. It really came in handy for our stay. Some pretty good deals on the restaurants👍👍👍👍!!
Love the Four Queens! Back in 1986, my wife hit her first slot jackpot there! When in Vegas, we always stop in and play at the Four Queens! Thanks for the video.
We love it that so many of you have fond memories of times at this venerable and historic casino!
I heard about the floods in Vegas. I'm from Las Vegas and that was crazy. I don't think I remember ever a time that bad
These are not as bad as August of 2003...when the worldwide news was showing fire trucks floating in water. THAT was worse than this one, I think...because it affected the whole valley, not just the resorts.
I have always wondered about the Four Queens. I never hear anything about it. Thanks for enlightening me. Looks decent. Worth a visit inside next time.
Yes, I think it kind of runs under the radar, being next to Golden Nugget and The D, but it's very cozy Old Vegas.
Thanks Folks ! Great Las Vegas History ! Feel better and stay safe ! Thanks for posting. Rudy and Kat
And thank YOU as ever for watching, no matter what the topic!
Hi to both of you and I wish you two a great Sunday.
Hey Bill, thanks for watching our little tour of the 4 Queens!
I hope both of you are feeling better. Those summer colds are no fun. The floods are no joke. I hope you all are staying safe and dry. We love the history you provide us 💜. We have learned so much. Get some rest and let us know how you are feeling.
We are doing much better, Debbie, thank you! We are safe and dry, yes, and glad of it! We too love history, and are glad so many of you are loving it along with us. 🥰
It's so funny that you are showcasing the Casino I always stay at, including this August 20th. LOL
Not funny, Bill, just getting on the same wavelength with you...feel us reading your mind lol? 😂
@@paulamckenzie Sorry Paula but you must know you are dealing with a nut case. LOL
I sure hope you both get well soon!
Well thank you - I am back to normal, and we are working on getting Dale's stuffy nose cleared up. We'll be good to go in no time! 😊
Big hug for you both :)
Yes the four queens one of my favorite places !! Thank you Dale and Paula !!!
We are reading that from many of you - a little bit of an unsung hero, it seems! 😊
WE stay at Four Queens 4 Times Love the Hotel and staff,Magnolias good ist great,Hello Paula and Dan from Elisabeth and Max Straubing Germany 👍
You have stayed there 4 times?? Wow, you must really enjoy it - this is great to hear, it makes me really happy we featured it!
Another great video! Enjoy you guys so much- Be well soon!
Thank you Ginger - on the mend and back to 100% before you know it!
Another great video! We all appreciate you creating it while not feeling well. Thanks so much!
We do love doing this - it keeps us occupied in a good way!
LOVE the history you include in your vlogs and the slow but easy pace (including menus) that you take as you let us peruse *through your eyes* what each casino offers. Will def be checking out the playlists!!
Aww this is such a terrific comment - it means we are doing it right! Thank you 🥰
Thanx for the Four Queen's vlog...Nice to learn the history...glad to see you are feeling better...Best wishes from Cheshire, England..
Hey Amanda, thanks for watching! 😊
I love the style of the Four Queens lobby. I like that feel of an older, smaller casino. 🙂 Thank you for the tour!
I think the lobby is really pretty too - and in fact, I thought the whole place was charming.
it's such a cool old classic casino hotel!
The history you guys give us is so great and informative. I have said it before but I would love to sit down with both of you and just talk and visit! Thank you so much for your videos and all that you do! You two are the sweetest couple on UA-cam! Be safe!!!!
Ohh Todd, this is SUCH a lovely comment, thank you so much! 🥰 We truly love reminiscing and talking about Old Vegas...and we are so grateful that there are folks out there like you who get into it as much as we do.
Was there in 1984, loved it. Thanks for the video
LOL I bet it hasn't changed a lot - and we love that about it!
4 queens is my favorite n all o vegas
You know, we are hearing that from a bunch of you - a lot of loyal fans of that place!
Glad you guys are feeling better! We so enjoy your videos. Stay healthy and keep up the good work! Hugs!
We love it that you are always out there watching, no matter what the subject! 🥰
That's funny Paula with the steak n eggs 🥚 🥩🥓 at 8am I'm originally from upstate NY but living in Vegas since 2003 I still like to eat it once awhile all though haven't lately
Wow, thanks for the 400+ videos and playlists! The 4 Queens was my Dad's favorite. When I worked at the old City Hall (now Zappos) we'd eat at Magnolia's-good food and service! Hope your'e feeling better.
Oh you must have some fascinating stories to tell! ☺
Always good to see these places, alother one to try out! Thanks
At this point, we have done almost all the big casino/resorts, so we can focus now on the smaller and maybe less-covered ones like this.
Glad I stay your channel! Thank you for the wonderful history and your. God bless you both. ❤
Love the 4 Queens.
We are hearing the same from lots of you - we are glad we chose to feature it!
What a beautiful place in Reno! A funny side note when my kids, who are grown are talking to me and we're making like a grocery list I will always say to them anything else Paula? And they just look at me like I'm crazy and then I explained myself one of my UA-camrs says that! I think it's funny!!
Ok this made me laugh! If they have no context, they must wonder who the heck is Paula?? 🤣
I am in St. Louis and we have had our share of flooding this week as well. We had a year of rain in just a few hours and then 2 days later more rain and flash flooding. Love that you showed the front of the hotel. Usually we just see the side from the fremont experience. Will definitely have to check out that's lobby and coral reef!. Thanks for another great video! ❤️❤️❤️
Whew, Linda, I hope you are all good and dry over there! There is a whole lot of water this week where it shouldn't be, and it's causing tragedy and heartache, that's for sure. We do love to walk around these places outside, give you a feel for where they are - because as you say, too often you only see that one side, what's under the canopy.
GET WELL SOON
Thank you, and yes I am all better, Dale is coming along too 😊
Thank you for so much history!!! I absolutely love it
We have somehow managed to find such a great audience out there, who gets into the Old Vegas history as much as we do! 🥰
Love your videos glad you are ok
Thank you for all of your hard work!! I really appreciate all of the history you search for and find☺
Thank you! We love sharing it with you, and you all really seem to enjoy it as much as we do!
I love watching your videos! Hope you both feel better soon!
Thank you so much - we are so glad you like our content 😊
I hope you both feel better...Thankyou for another great video😊
Thanks Linda - on the mend over here! 😊
Glad you both feel better you lookgreat! Love your Vlogs entertaining and educational thanks❤️
Thank you - such a lovely comment!
4queens has special place in my heart the only property IV stayed in downtown and I enjoyed my stay and magnolias is great too. I think it's time for u2 to have a break and get back to Scotland it's well overdue Paula.... Dale's salmon is waiting for him... Stay safe u2
LOL ohhh do NOT tempt me with the whole Scotland thing...I don't think it's in the cards anytime soon, so put that salmon on ice. 😄 So glad you have good memories of the 4 Queens, and happy to have taken you down memory lane with this one!
Beautiful victorian lights!!!
Feel better 🥰
Thanks pal - I am back to normal, and we are working on getting Dale all better too. 🥰
@@paulamckenzie ....good to hear 💕
I've stayed at the Four Queens many times through the years. Always enjoyed my stays there. The employees are the best, from Front Desk, Cashier Cage, Restaurant Servers, they are great. Something I found out a year or so ago, Magnolia's has another dining room behind the Veranda area so it's much larger than it looks.
We love hearing endorsements directly from our viewers who have had good experiences at these spots - thank you for writing! And yes, I did see those other rooms and did a quick pan of them, but they didn't fit into the piece very well so we didn't include them.
Thank you!
We thought we had a cold but it was Covid. You take care and thank you for another great video!
Yep I think there's a lot of that going around - not as bad as January, when everybody everywhere was sick, but still annoying. Hope you recovered fully! 😊
Happy Sunday Dale & Paula 😊
Hey to our pal Christine - it's Tuesday already, so happy Tuesday! 😊
ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIDEOS FROM YOU GUYS. THE FOUR QUEENS IS MY VERY FAVORITE PLACE TO STAY, EAT AND GAMBLE IN LAS VEGAS. I STAY AT THE 4 QUEENS AT LEAST 6-8 TIMES A YEAR. THE FOOD THERE IS SOME OF MY TOP CHOICES WITH MANY OTHERS CLOSE BY. THE CHICAGO BREWERY IS DELICIOUS TOO PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU CAN SOMETIME. THE PIZZA AND FILET SLIDERS ARE MY RECOMMENDATION. THEY ALSO HAVE A GREAT CHICAGO DOG WITH FRIES FOR JUST $7.99. UNFORTUNATELY, DON’T GET THE CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA. SADLYY, IT’S JUST MORE DOUGH, NOT THE REAL DEEP DISH LIKE GIORDANOS ON THE STEIP BY BALLYS. THAT’S MY FAVORITE IN VEGAS AND CHICAGO. THANKS AGAIN F0R THESE AMAZING VIDEOS.
You are most welcome - and thank YOU for such an enthusiastic and helpful comment! We haven’t eaten at that Chicago Brewing, but have had dinner lots of times at the stand-alone location out on Sahara and Fort Apache…terrific! 😊
Glad you two are ok
Yep, dry and comfy over here, thank you!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND LOVE DOWNTOWN THANKS
I HOPE YOU BOTH ARE FEELING MUCH BETTER. SUCH A NICE HOTEL AND THE FOOD LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK. WOW 41 YEARS OF MARRIAGE SO AMAZING. 👏👏👏
LOL sometimes we can't even believe it ourselves - how the heck did 41 years whiz by???
I have eaten at magnolias before and I was quite satisfied. When I come there in October I will be staying at the four Queens so this video was very beneficial for me thank you forgive me all this great information. Always another great video Dale and Paula I greatly appreciate you two and the music 👍🏾
Really? Wow, this is great timing, and we are so glad to be giving you a little advance preview! Hope you have a wonderful stay!
Back in the late 80s and early 90s in the 4 Queens Casino there was a stage and on Friday nights and Saturday nights a Jazz Big Band played and it was simulcasted on a radio station in Las Vegas!
great seeing you guys you all make my start for the week thank you and the tour was awesome
We love making the start of your week a little brighter, Tony - welcome to August! 😊
Your videos are a great source of information for anyone!! I've been to 4 Queens for a stay once or twice 20 years ago. It was a very small comfy room. I wonder now with all of the bands if it's so quiet...
I can't say from experience - never having stayed there - but some of our viewers are commenting that it's noisy, others that it's not. It must depend which tower and which room.
Great video, we always stay downtown they are great casinos thanks for posting
Yes, Downtown Las Vegas has a passionate and loyal following, and for good reason! So much history, on that one street!
Awesome video guys! Love it! Happy Sunday!
Thank you for watching - happy Tuesday! 😁
My parents and I just Ate at Magnolia’s thank you for the recommendation! The French toast was AMAZING!
Loved this presentation. Always organized and great information. Thank you!
This is such a terrific compliment - thank you VERY much! 🥰
Hi Dale and Paula be safe out there today it storming ⛈️ flood alert again today
Hello Tonya - looks like you commented many times! Let me go read them... 😊
So glad you guys are feeling better. I was worried about you guys when I heard about the flooding. Glad you didn’t float away. My nephew lives there also and said it was just crazy. By the way, great video! I love the Four Queens, another Vegas icon. Take care.
It was crazy, yes! Honestly we were shocked at the footage we saw the next morning, but still we are lucky when you compare it with what is happening in Kentucky....
I am glad you are both feeling better! I loved gambling at the 4 Queens! I always stayed at the Golden Nugget, but I made the rounds to all the downtown venues. I loved eating at Hugos Cellar...a first-class steakhouse! Thanks for sharing a blast from the past! You are so appreciated! Love the new playlists!!! Hugs!
So glad you are a Downtown fan, and that you have personally enjoyed all it has to offer. We ourselves have gained a new appreciation for it, just by making vlogs for you guys! Glad you think the playlists are helpful! 😊
You’re so right about the storms on Thursday. We’ve lived here 10 years and that was a pretty big one. It sounded like rocks hitting our bedroom windows. We actually had dinner at Magnolia one time with a relative and it was pretty good. We still need to make our way to Hugo Cellar and check that out. Talk soon! J&K
Believe it or not, we have never been to Hugo's either, go figure! Now the floods in August of 2003 were before you arrived here, but they were really bad because they affected the entire valley, the neighborhoods, not just the resorts.
We have stayed there in the south tower, nice rooms. The food is good, we do visit on our trips to LV, but now stay at The Plaza. Anyway The 4 Queens is a very nice property, but they need to start updating their rooms and control homeless bothering guest. Wow saw the flooding on the news, here on the Texas Gulf Coast it has been dry and humid making the air heavy with 106 feel like weather. Already have our B-day trip planned and yes will visit The Four Queens
I am sure you speak from personal experience, with regard to the need for updating, and controlling the bothering thing. We have never stayed there, so we trust the input from you guys out there on stuff like that. It is much more humid than usual here, and hot - which makes it feel like we live in the Amazon rainforest!
Love that place that Cafe their prime rib is awesome 🥩
