Covered all the bases!
Thanks !
You always say catch an Uber. Is there a problem with the bus? I have visited Vegas twice in the past 4 years and always rode the bus. How come you prefer Uber over the bus? I know the bus would be cheaper.
Absolutely! 👍
Recycled content
Uninteresting, Boring, Bland, Unprofessional, Old Content.
I’m so disappointed in what’s happened to Las Vegas. I was late teens early twenties when I first started going in late 90s- all the rooms cheap, food deals were insane, was not sooooooo damn crowded, NO place charged for parking, etc etc.. now it’s just a joke ripoff on every single aspect- I wish millions would boycott LV for many months forcing them to bring back down to earth and value the customers.
LIke the casinos don't make enough!
I live in Florida. I say the same thing about the parks (Disney. Universal..etc)and beaches here..lol..Too many damn people
Not hating
but just a heads up to anyone watching this , I’m from Vegas
37 of 43 years ( I always come home 😁) and I’ve not ever seen Four Card Monty or any of that type Hustle in Vegas ever in My entire life
The casinos will get that BS out of there from around their properties in an instant
Also , I have not ever had anyone try to pull the scam of trying to hand me something “ for free “
That’s a scam hustle
Neither way you look at it I haven’t ever had that happen
But I have in NYC but I wasn’t falling for that BS
Just be aware and you’re all good
Even the dudes trying to get people into clubs
They’re usually gonna tell you the truth unless they’re dumb af
So it’s always possible
But most of all they get paid for You to go in so they just want you to go in and kick it
Some of them will still cost You $20 for entrance but just ask
If they say they’re getting you in free then they are. Bet that
They’re just trying to get the clubs packed and of course the club assumes that means they’ll sale drinks for $15 + ea. but a lot times you do not even have to buy a drink, I know at Mandalay Bay You didn’t have to
But I’m not 100 really anywhere else on that 1.
For Dudes, the strip clubs
They’ll get your group in free and the ride
Real Talk
They expect you’re going to start spending once you get there but you usually don’t have to
Just ask before you have them come pick you up or not
Once you get in there with the females you’ll start drinking & tipping though
It’s inevitable 😁
The casinos are the biggest scams out there
Not anyone out on the strip
Just like the 1st comment
The hustles are the Disneys’s & all that BS
They’re making insane $ & people still pay that BS
People need to stop going and make them come down
But … I get it
If you have the $ it’s better paying more because then there’s less & less of the undesirables there
So…. If you can afford it then it is worth paying it
That is exactly why I won’t go there b/c it’s too expensive & too crowded. I refuse to go anywhere with resort fees. That’s a scam, especially since not everyone uses them.
The timeshare scam in Las Vegas is at an all time high🤬🤬🤬
All timeshares are scams to be fair. I got caught out once. Never again!.. You live and learn.
Yep
I’ll be attending one wish me luck
First time in Vegas late 90's... 7-11 had a massive board with a million photos of missing girls... that's when i knew Vegas is dangerous!
Love that you showed the scams and actually showed us how the scam is played, beside you both are such a cool fun married couple,
1 million views, congratulations you guys did a great job on the video. Excellent
This is the best review of Vegas I have ever seen thank you.
Thanks so much David!
You can park free at resorts world by just getting a players card. As soon as you sign up for a player card you can park free, no minimum tier level required!
If you have any sort of street smarts, coming from a big city, new York, Philly etc, some of these you already know
My parents went to Las Vegas for years in the 70’s-90’s and stayed at the Westward Ho next to Circus Circus. Westward Ho was a Motel with only two stories. We would get 99 cent shrimp cocktail. A whole cup of those tiny shrimp with sauce. I was a Flight Attendant in the late 80’s and would go to Slots A Fun right in that same area for their $2 Black Jack tables and the dealer and people at the table would help people learn to play. Give the waitress $2.00 as a tip and she would bring any drink you wanted for free. I would walk back to my hotel off the strip with many blocks of walking late at night, past a vacant lot, across a bridge to the hotel we were put up in. Was a little scary walking in the dark, but not a lot of Taxis back then. There was a steak restaurant right across the street with an amazing $8.00 prime rib dinner and a tiny gaming area. A place where locals went. The good old days.
You two are such a great couple. Love watching you together. They way he looks at you its obvious he loves you. You both have great personalities.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it!
You two sure do a good job. I’ve seen lots of videos on different towns/destinations and most are almost strictly based on personal feelings. You both give an objective point of view, thank you.
So the impression I’m getting is that Vegas is a terrible place to vacation. $50 for 2 cocktails should be a crime.
From one local to another, great content. I'm on the Strip constantly not only for shopping, but also because I love feeling like a tourist in my own city. Yes, locals DO go to the Strip. Cute couple, too.
I’m a Vegas native and haven’t ever seen a lot of this stuff
No full card Monty
That casinos are not letting MuFu’s do any kind of card stuff anywhere near their premises
I haven’t ever had anyone try to hand me something then charge me for it
I forget the couple other things that had me a like where the heck do people encounter this
The only real issues are the Ese’s slapping the cards
And so many club hustlers
Most of them are legit
It’s just that there can be too many of them out there a lot of the time
Timeshare Resorts have a certain mile radius to sell & market to so the local answer is a good tip!
So sad to see the RIO in such bad shape. I was there in its heyday for a friend's birthday...MAN, WHAT A BLAST IT WAS! We rode in the rooftop Mardi-Graw parade. You could pay a fee,(can't remember how much $, I think it was about $20 or so)we would get into costumes and get into the sky buckets that went on the roof tracks and to join the "Rio Carnivale".There was a cast dressed in full-on Mardi-Graw New Orleans-type costumes and it was a party like no other! You would ride all around the casino in the sky buckets and throw down beads, trinkets, and tokens for free play to the people down on the floor under you. The whole casino had a party at the time and free drinks, streamers, and beads flying everywhere! It was THE place to be in the 90s for sure! The steak house was fabulous and the parties they threw on the roof were legendary! Fireworks off the top roof and great bands would play. The rooms were spotless and reasonable. In those days, all you had to do was show your airline ticket proving you traveled there and they would comp you all kinds of discounts and some free gambling. The old Vegas was much more fun and much classier to come to. The Tiger exhibit at the Mirage and the Volcano was Great! Then there were the sharks in the tunnel you could walk through. It was so much fun before the days of Vegas becoming a daycare for kiddies! There should be NO PLACE in Vegas for babies & kids ---EVER! Vegas was and should have been kept an adult playground. Then the demise of what it has become is all about getting and charging hidden and outrageous fees with the decline in quality and upswing of crime. So very sad that your generation never knew it as it was then.
Wow, that party sounds amazing. Rio (or some other hotel!) needs to bring that back!
you gained a new subscriber!!
This is hands down the best Vegas video I ever seen in my life. I absolutely love your channel!
Thanks so much! We are glad that you enjoyed the video!!
The resorts fees and hidden fees are a « legitimate » way to screw you. I was in Vegas often and after the pandemic they really upgraded them, especially this June 2023.
All very true points. Never have been a fan of resort fees!
This a really great vlog for newbies and also a good reminder for us old folks that like to visit Vegas. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! It’s certainly great for newbies and hopefully very helpful to all visiting, planning on moving here, or already living here.
You don’t mention the Deuce (bus). You can buy a pass for any number of days. That’s how I get downtown when I’m there.
Deuce bus is a life saver. Didn’t know and I was taking Uber
Well, the taxis have set fees now, so I’ve seen Uber be more expensive. The worst complaint I have is the smell everywhere of rotten weed. That smells like skunk.
U serious???
Does anyone remember the 90s in Vegas? Besides the era of Frank Sinatra, i think that was the golden era. Flights were inexpensive, buffets were under 20 dollars, you could get a steak dinner for $5.99. I felt safe or maybe was just young and naive, but it was a great time.
I remember
I lived in Vegas in the 90s and early 2000s. Left in 2005. My ex was a construction worker, so we were living the dream, lol. Moved to Maine where it's quiet and cold but, sometimes I miss the party. I was a bartender at a local bar. Was a lot of fun. My daughter still lives there, so we go back every 2 yrs or so. Stay at a Ceasars property and gamble. Haha. It's so expensive now to eat! Luckily, my current hubbys cousin loans us a car and my daughter keeps us up to date on good locals spots so we don't eat on the strip. Miss them old days!
For low cost transportation and safety, you left out the city buses and the monorail.
If you have only carry on luggage, you can ride the bus from the airport for way less than a taxi. Uber and Lyft may be no bargain compared to taxis. Remember Surge (higher) Pricing when they are busy!
There is a city bus that runs along The Strip. No crazy long routes in a taxi that has a surprise cost at the end. The bus driver is not going to overcharge, sexually attack, rob or kidnap you.
The monorail is limited in that it only goes between casinos for a part of the Strip, but not to Fremont St., old downtown Vegas. It is clean, safe and low cost, but more than the bus.
Don't ride taxis if you want to save money.
Someone just hit 1.3M at the Vegas Airport Slot Machine the other day.
The Rio used to be the place to go. It was lively and close enough to the strip. The buffet was our favorite in the city. It is unbelievable how however is responsible for the decline has let it go. Getting rid of the shuttle bus to the strip was a huge mistake. I wish the owners would remodel, bring back the shuttle buses and buffet and the show in the sky. The Rio was a great place for visitors and locals.
I really enjoy you guys videos! I’m laughing my booties off! Coming to Vegas in a couple of months to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday; taking her to see Usher🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤💙
The Rio is in disrepair. It's old & unattractive. No one goes there. It's a dump. Needs to be torn down & replaced, & I think that it will be.
The Voodu lounge use to be great as well .
always wonder if cesars is doing this on purpose
We wound up there after hearing about it and was very impressive and i myself cleaned out the seafood buffet. Last time we were there the reviews were awful.
Worst SCAM fee from a restaurant is the Tex Mex Tequila Bar. They add an 18% service fee! It is not the tip we asked. It is not anywhere on the menu either or on signage either.
Thanks for sharing! Wow, that’s crazy.
yall are hilarious lol and you guys showed so much, very informative, I truly appreciate all the different aspects shown of Vegas, keep up the good work
I just came back two weeks ago. The Taxi was actually $10 cheaper than Uber. TBH, Check both. The taxis charge a standard fee, so you can look to see which is cheaper. It's nice to give Taxis a fair chance, especially since they are cheaper 😮
Your vlogs are always so well done! I always watch them.
I have lived in Vegas since I was 13 and I'm now 55, So many changes have happened, I really miss the old Vegas in the 80s. Now I dread going to the strip and downtown because of the scammers and the crazy prices of things.
An absolutely fun, informative 2 hours. Thank you from a new subscriber.
First time viewing your videos, and I just want to say I love it!! Your tips are fantastic and money saving ideas. Thank you both so much I will be looking for more videos from both of you regularly 😊
I love how informative the video was, and I also loved how long the video was actually fell asleep to the video it was so comforting 😊
I went to Las Vegas with a really good friend in 2012, and stayed at the Excalibur, we had a really nice stay aside from the timeshare creeps that got us right away. After we left the timeshare mess tour, we had a really good time.
I’m planning on going back this next year to downtown Vegas.
This is so informative! Thank you Tanya amd Dave.❤
Hi Tana & Dave and it's great seeing you both tonight.
Howdy! Thank you. We still have some birthday livestreams in Vegas coming up. Hope to see you on!
So so sorry!!! I been watching you guys for over 2 years and didn't know you pass 100k subs. Congrats did I miss a video of you guys showing your plaque??.. again congrats and thanks for all you do!!!
Good looking out, thanks you two.
First video I’ve seen of yours and you two are the freaking cutest! Thank you for the info! ☺️
Thanks for all the good info!
I hate that everyone always hates on the airport slots. If you want to gamble, take the gamble! One time i won $900 while my flight was boarding!
You guys are seriously the cutest! I love your energy!
When we visited Vegas in 2008, we stumbled across this wonderful steak house in an old strip mall next to "the world's largest souvenir shop" called The Golden Steer. It was VERY old school as and was hands down the most expensive ($100+ per person I think) but most incredible tasting steak I've ever had in my life! I would love to see you guys review it and other old school places like it!
Just watched a series on Binnions and was also wondering how that steak house is.
i like how informative these videos are and how you seem real and not fake enthusiastic lol
awesome show guys and valuable information. thanks mucho ❤
Great video. I like the sketchy areas in the daytime. Nice vintage shops, thrift stores, food and drinks.
Down near the Stratosphere in downtown it's more than sketchy it's very dangerous
I'm glad I found your channel again. Now I subscribed. I like the your presentations
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
This is a great video! Thank you for the information!
Awesome video!
Vegas used to monitor the strip so it was safe ! Why have they stopped making it safe for tourists?
Two hours of pure entertainment thank you
Thank you for the info! You guys are truly a gr8 couple. 😊
You’re very welcome, thanks so much Tracy!
Very informative. Thank you. Just subscribed👍😊
Great video, wow the scams are ridiculous!
Thanks so much, yes, some of the scams are over the top!
Great video guys!!!!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely loved the whole video. You guys did such a good job informing everyone, plan to watch this lots more times!!! Thanks so much!
Fantastic video, your both awesome!!!
The monk is pretending not to speak English.
So good to show the scams.
We visited a friend's time share and wife signed us up for all these presentations. Some of the folks were SO PUSHY and rude. And she's correct about the time spent. We had to lie and said we didn't feel good to finally get her to leave.
One of the places even rang our credit and we confonted them and walked off.
It's bad in Florida too. High pressure and lies.
Great information!🎉
Love your videos very helpful. Love your steakhouse recommendations! Stay blessed and stay safe
Love this video . Thinking of booking soon so watching all your vlogs 😊
$10 a taco is crazy, i get the best tacos from a local food truck for $1.60 lol
We stayed at South Point Casino off the strip the last time we went to Vegas. It was awesome! It changed the way we felt about where we had to stay when in Vegas.
You two are great. Love ya'll and the videos.
i was so happy to see you two reviewing Las Vegas. I absolutely love watching your videos. You two are the best. My friends are now visiting Vegas. I was telling them about some of my favorite spots, but it's been years since I was there. I have been there numerous times, but the last time I was there was 2012. I'm sure lots have changed since then. Thanks for your video. For some added words. A friend and I went to Seattle in April. We were hit up by scammers pushing CDs to benefit kids. They were really aggressive. I was really frustrated with them.
Love the video, thanks!
Love you guys ! Thank you !
Hey there Kyle! Thank you! ❤️
Fantastic video! Thank you 🙏
This channel def prepared me for my trip to Vegas Labor Day weekend.
Glad to hear we helped, thanks!
Ha. We stayed here on our 1st ever trip to Las Vegas nearly 20 years ago. It was fine then and we fell in love with Vegas. We’ve been back many, many times to vegas. It’s so strange that we now stay in skylofts at MGM, penthouses at Bellagio and suites at crockfords and encore. We all have to start somewhere I guess. It was fun going down memory lane. Thanks for the video.
This the corporate take over of the Strip. They have no clue how we were built. We offered excellence for your dollar. When you gambled at a resort, we made sure to add enticements such as free dinners, shows, rooms, booze and whatever else you might want. The amount of free offers increased with your gambling. No one ever thought of charging to park, that came directly from corporate bosses who came from New York. They figured if you want to stay somewhere you will pay extra. My problem is Las Vegas is no longer the only place to get this type entertainment. We just might price ourselves out of business, especially since we are not , as a nation, rolling in the bucks. Having lived here all my life, born here in 1955, with my family involved with all things Vegas...I would hate to see these corporations destroy my town as they have many other things in our country. We no longer have the Binion's, Wynn's, Kerkorian's, Hughes or the Gaughan's or the various mobsters who privately owned their resorts and allowed invention and creativity to develop the city I remember.
Feel like i am in Las Vegas. Video answers so many questions. Really enjoy being along with the hosts. Good job !
Great tip, thank you for the advice.
I want to Thank You for All the Tips!
You are so welcome!
As a Vegas local, you are spot on! I go to Fremont, almost every weekend, and have a few tips to share about that. I would love to meet you guys, sit down and have a coffee together and discuss them. I don't want to put them on your channel without your permission. You two have some great videos, and if you are ever interested in talking to another local, or interview, I would be honored!
Thank You my favorite UA-cam couple. Your videos are so informative. I have never been to Vegas and I really want to go now. VIVA LAS VEGAS !
Thanks so much James, we are glad you enjoy our videos!! Viva Las Vegas!
Thanks for the helpful information. The last time my family was there was before covid. We were down feom Canada and my son was playing baseball nearby. The uber drivers looked after me and my young daughter. They were great about recommending attractions, what areas to avoid and were very reasonable. My husband and I are heading back soon and hope to do a lot of walking and sightseeing.
Your video stopped me from doing one of those seminars for free nights at a hotel. When you said they are pushy and may even come in your room, i cringed. Thanks for the heads up😊
Love the teamwork.
Great video thanks for the heads up.
You’re very welcome Elaine. Thanks!

So glad I found y’all!Thank you for this video , planning on going to Vegas in July. 🥰
Wow thank you so much ❤
Going to NFR in Vegas this Dec, THANK YOU so much 4 this info!!!!
The scammers dressed in Halloween costumes are so annoying! Their costumes don’t even have anything to do with Vegas.I’ve heard that some of them can get really aggressive if you don’t give them money. I just find them to be gross. I wouldn’t give them any money.
I love the way she came out from behind that tree to say “especially, in Vegas.” 😂 Nice touch 🙂
Thanks for the info. We're from Toronto, heading to Vegas on May.
(at the time of the video) . i love that you keep us informed and prepared
Been to Vegas many many times but we no longer go. There are so many casinos now across the country to gamble at and they still have great food and dont stink like pot.
Yay! Another educational and entertaining video. Thank you for making these videos. Love and Light!
I just came across one of your videos and now I'm watching a whole bunch of them I just love you guys
Thanks so much, welcome aboard! We are glad that you are enjoying our videos!
I made it from mandalay bay to luxor to Excalibur and i dont remember even going outside but 1 time to cross a walk about but that was one great time
Thanks Rudolph, yes, there are walkways inside you can take. A nice one between Mandalay Bay and Luxor!
You do an awesome job!
New subscriber. ❤ your vids and you both are so funny, informative, and energetic! 👏👏👏🎰💸
I'm from New Jersey and this is good all this information I needed when I decide to go visit Vegas soon, Thank guys...
