Las Vegas too Expensive? Not at Ellis Island Hotel & Casino!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- We stayed at Ellis Island Las Vegas for the first time! We stayed three nights, ate at every restaurant, and even did a little karaoke. This hotel/casino surprised us in a good way. Being frequent visitors to the Las Vegas strip we have seen prices for food and drink skyrocket as well as the table minimums. Ellis Island brings those food/drink deals that we have all been missing! And you can't beat their table minimums.
If you want your next Las Vegas vacation to be a great experience, then you need to add Ellis Island to your "places to visit" list.

@@UpUpOurWay Whoo whee! 😋🥰
I think you’re the first vloggers that have reviewed the BBQ location inside Ellis Island.
Going to have to try that and the Village Cafe this Summer.
Thanks, Melissa and Enrique 👍
Great review and very helpful thx. Looks awesome. I would weigh 800 lbs if I lived anywhere near there. Will definitely go there next time we are there. Cheers!
Haha I probably gained a few pounds but it was worth it!
Must go play at Ellis next time. I would love the room with the balcony, at a discount of course!
That balcony was so nice! Of course it had to be raining the day we filmed it though haha!
Very informative video on a hotel casino I would have missed on our extended family holiday coming up in June. Great value. Thanks
Hace a great trip!
I really enjoyed your video. It was so good. I decided to share it with my two sisters.
We’re going to be visiting Vegas in June and based on your view of Ellis Island that’s one of the casinos we’re going to be visiting. Thanks again for the awesome job you did. 👏🏽👏🏽
I hope you all have an amazing trip!
Thank you!!
Awesome video of Ellis Island. That room w the balcony is pretty cool and all the food looked amazing. Much love❤M&E
That suite was nice and LOVED the balcony!
I had no idea Ellis Island had such good food.... It looks like i need to check out these places on my next trip to Las Vegas 😁
I knew they had good deals, but trying as much as we did, we were impressed by how much really good food there was!
This is truly a hidden gem 😁
Hi, Melissa and Enrique! 😀 Wow! Ellis Island looks super affordable and like a lot fun. Thank you for the look at your adventures! ❤❤
It was so much fun! Can't remember the last time I sang karaoke. I actually sang 4 songs LMAO
Melissa and Enrique, wow-what a great vlog! Thanks for your hard work, and sharing your Las Vegas adventure , and your 3 day stay at Ellis Island. Excellent detail, and Enrique's camera work and editing is als excellent.//.
Thank you Bob!
That was a great video. I did not realize the varied menu items you can get there at such a reasonable price. Looks like a great to stay/eat/gamble.
I had been there before and didn’t realize how much variety there was. And food was genuinely good!
I wet there last year. I had hurt my back earlier in the day and had to sit for a minute and an employee said I could not sit in the chair if I was not playing the game. I was sitting for no longer than 1 minute and the casino was only half full at best. I left and will never go back. First impressions are very important and this was a fail by Ellis Island. Nice video though! Thank you. Also, good mention of the shower water pressure. That is important for a lot of people.
☘️😁WOW!!! GREAT!!! VIDEO!!!! 😁☘️ I WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING TO TRY THE FOOD AND DRINKS SOON!!!! LOOKS LIKE A GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND JUST THROUGH THE VIDEO IT FELT LIKE GREAT OLD VEGAS VIBES!!!!! GREAT JOB ELLIS ISLAND CAN'T WAIT TO GO SOON 👍☘️😁☘️
It reminded me of the 90s when we first started going! Such great deals and a mix of old and new. It’s great!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Bradie!
An excellent review!
Thank you Allan! 😃
Excellent Video! We love Ellis island glad you showed it with great information 🫶🏼
Hey guys, I kinda think we were there at the same time! Next time we’ll have to meet 😊
@@UpUpOurWay yes! That would be awesome 🫶🏼
Just found your channel n` instantly liked and subscribed 💯🙏😎
This seems like a really nice local type hotel which is right behind the Paris which we stay at that I never knew existed. Looks better than most of the downtown hotels. The BBQ benedict and breakfast burrito looked really good. Enrique's camera angle made that BBQ palate look really huge or was it? I will donate $100 if a new video with Enrique singing 10 seconds of karaoke is released. 🎤🎶💰
😂😂😂 never happening Mike. He might get up and sing at a family function… IF he’s well hydrated 😉
Solid review ❤
Thank you 😁
I am glad you went here! I’ve seen it through my hotel windows, but didn’t know much about it. It is on my list to check out for next trip. Thanks for another great video!
I hope you do visit! It’s a fun little spot.
Awesome Sauce Video M&E thanks for the tip and fun. ♥️💚🥳
Thank you Tricia!
Love the Video..I'll know where to look next time someone mentions the places.Heyy..DELL Stock went up..!! horrayyy!!!! Love this !! I'll meet you both someday!
I really enjoyed your review.
Thank you Jim!
Great review! I love this hotel and I’m glad they have updated rooms. Also I’m not sure if you recently updated your camera but the footage looks great! Hope to run into you two sometime when I visit Vegas :D
Thank you Keith! Same camera but made some tweaks 😃
Omg that plate is huge 😂
I died when I saw that plate. No camera magic tricks involved! 😂😂😂
Great review! The prime rib dinner they serve is amazing!!!
We had that Prime rib a couple years back and yes, it was good!
Great review as always E&M We're flying in this Sunday We will definitely be checking it out this trip
Sounds like we will just miss you! Have a great trip 😃
All the food looked so tasty! Always wanted to try it all the locals say it is great. As far as staying there we have wanted to find a cost friendly place to stay but worry about it. We usually stay at the Palazzo and are never disappointed.
Great vid guys and it is not too expensive. Especially just off strip. One lady from where I live complained about comps went totally down and I agreed yet you can still find great value.
Very nice review. 🎉
Thanks H Shaw!
Loved this video !!!
Thank you!!
Wow, surprised how great the rooms look. Very nice. I guess I still have the Super8 days in my head.
Yeah, they did a good job with the remodel!
I need to try that Country Benedict! Great prices on those pizza slices too!
I am craving more metro pizza!!!
I want to go to Ellis Island for the Karaoke! You’re a rockstar Melissa ❤
Karaoke was SOOO fun! I sang 4 songs! 😂
Great review & video of Ellis Island. You 2 are the hardest working couple. We just missed you again as we just left Vegas on 4/25 Mark & Jo from Chgo
Hopefully next time!
Very nice video….looks like a great place to play and eat!👍 I definitely will try there and get the players card….the food looks delicious!
You should definitely check it out!
Great Review of the Ellis Island Melissa and Enrique! Be up there in two weeks for EDC. Will definitely stop by for the grave yard steak and Eggs special as well as the Thursday 2 for 1 pizza slice.
I hope you do visit and let us know what you thought! Have a great time at EDC... maybe one of these years we'll muster up the courage (and $) to go.
LIKE your review I liked with a thumbs up thinking of going there is this a good first timer to Vegas ?
I’d say that your first trip should be on the strip. You might try Planet Hollywood for its location. ua-cam.com/video/XisFB9s5N1Y/v-deo.htmlsi=I0z9VD0Urpez2MOU
If you are looking for more budget friendly locations watch this: ua-cam.com/video/C8sALZgTpAQ/v-deo.htmlsi=X6rhCj3rJaKUUD54
Love Ellis Island!
Awesome food footage.
Thanks Kevin!
Ellis Island is one of my favourite places to visit in Vegas 😊
It’s a great little spot! Thanks Neil!
@@UpUpOurWay you’re welcome ☺️
We come to Vegas in September. We have to try that place. It looks good. Everything you’re eating and reasonable.
Yes, you two need to go eat there. You’ll appreciate the good food and the prices.
Ellis Island is a great casino. I was just there on Sunday with 2 of my 4 daughters and we had a good time and enjoyed some pizza. Thanks for sharing...... I am still in Vegas at the El Cortez 🙂
Nice! I hope you’re enjoying El Cortez now! Another family owned hotel. So hard to find and you got two! 😂
Awesome review … I haven’t been there in a while, but I’ll definitely check it out next time I’m in Las Vegas …
Thank you!
Front Yard is fantastic for Drinks , Sports & Video. Enjoy staying at Tuscany which is just around the corner so Ellis is my Go To.
Having a coffee maker in your room is a real plus. I bought my own 1-cup coffee maker, which I put in my suitcase, because most of the strip hotel rooms don't include a coffee maker! I also like the $5 craps available!
Yes, I have seen some rooms with keurigs at a few places but no coffee or water 😂
I heard about the infamous pork belly bites! You can’t beat the value. The room looks super comfy! This place is right up our alley ❤
You must try those pork belly bites. I have been missing out!!!
Fine Job been there ONCE for Cheap Great Food. VERY Great service. I was staying at the Paris.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I Tip very Well Too and the Wait for Dinner Goes FAST !!!!
I agree. We had both great food and service. And at those prices, it can’t be beat!
Boasting about double zero roulette 😂 horrendous odds... the rest of the vlog = very good and informative cheers
Now triple zero another way Vegas robbing everyone
Back in the 70's u could get a steak dinner for 2.39 at Binion's horse. Now Binion's. Alot of good information. U made me hungry 😂. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Saturday. ❤🥰❤
We first went in the 90s and there were still good deals to be found. Ellis Island reminded us of those days.
@@UpUpOurWay would love to go to EI. Hell vegas😂. Have a great Saturday. ❤🥰❤
That country eggs Benedict had all the ingredients I like. I usually stop at ellis island as my first meal everytime I go to the strip and the pints are cheap there too.
Yes, good pricing on beer!
*_Yep like the Ellis Island_*
It’s a great little spot! Thanks Ron!
If you want great food at a good price go to Longhorn.
We Like To Visit At Least Once A Visit..... Great Value
Wolf HOWLS He Seen Pizza
And cheap pizza even!
So glad you do a very nice job on your food reviews.
Another UA-camr just paid $15 for a bottle of pressed juice.
He made some very dramatic sour faces trying to drink it 😂😂
😂😂😂 I know I have made a few faces in some food videos too! For sure my review of Luxor buffet.
Great review! I am a little confused however. Are the restruants inside where you stay and where the casino is? Can you get from your room, to the casino to the restruants without going outside? Thanks again. I just might go there next visit.
Ellis Island was only a casino with restaurants for many years. They bought the motel next door in 2014 and remodeled it. But it's a walk across a driveway and was honestly not a big deal at all. You should pay a visit!
❤❤❤❤
I think you were generous on comparing it to strip food prices, strip prices have gotten out of control
That’s just it! This place is sooo much cheaper. I laughed so hard when we saw that the 4 drinks at karaoke was $26. One cocktail would have been that price on the strip! 😂
Great job, from CT where is this old style LV...
Just a block behind the strip!
Looks like they give u a good portion to
Huge portions!
Hi,
Ênjoyed the video. Have any type of a code for a discount on a room at Ellis Island?
Unfortunately, no
Nice video. Just wish the camera was a tad bit more focused on the property and what you were presenting
I need to go there next time. How far is it from the strip?
It’s about a 10 minute walk. Not too far!
We recently went to Vegas.Stayed at horsehoe with a view of Ellis & part of F1 racetrack. We were wondering what it was like. We'll be going there. Do they have any Video Poker?
They do have video poker!
how are the room rates over all? thanks for review, info
They fluctuate so much depending on season and events in town. I saw rates as low as $35 but I’d count on more like $79 weekdays, $150 weekends
Stayed there before Covid shutdowns and really enjoyed the restaurants. Annemarie (Ellis) is the best Guest Host! I expect to return in Summer, 2024.
I always go there for at least one meal i used to always order the fried chicken or the fish and chips

Local fav of mine…shhhhh
I Been To Ellis Great Food & I Win On The Slots!!! 😎
Winning makes it even better!
Another amazing vlog mellisa. Wow can’t believe you got them pizzas for 6.99 was that a Margerita pizza? Certain things I can’t eat due to my faith but margeritta is fine. It looked amazing. Do you guys know any halal places to eat ok the strip? I managed to find one when I was in vegas that’s about it 😅
One place off the top of my head is Istanbul Mediterranean in the shops right in front of Horseshoe. It’s excellent food and always busy, so you know it’s good. I’m sure there are plenty of options for you!
@@UpUpOurWay oh thanks. Yes actually another vlogger from Vegas told me the same place too. I will give that a go. Even that pizza you tried iis not bad as well. The one place I found was at the side of the Wynn by the shopping retail square but thanks for your help. You guys are amazing 😊
@@aaphotofilm there are so many people with food restrictions or allergies that many places have adapted their menus
@@UpUpOurWay really? Well I suppose you have a point there too. I will see maybe I should dig deeper into my research then lol
We always eat and gamble there. We have never stayed there.
I think that’s pretty common, most visit but don’t stay
The steak and eggs are $12.99 now? It was $10 last time I was there last year. It's still an awesome value. Vegas prices are going up no matter where you go. I'll definitely have to check out Ellis Island. Coffee makers in the rooms? That's a plus for me. Thanks, you two. (Edit: I just saw on Google Maps that an am/pm is real close to there. I can get my power coffee there as well. I always stay at Luxor because of the am/pm close by. How-EVer, I guess I can always change locales 🤔😉)
Haha have to change it up sometimes Jon!
@@UpUpOurWay 🤔🤔😂😂😂😉😉
I'm hungry now
How much are the rooms? Do they have the resort fee?
I didn’t list the rates because they can fluctuate so much with the seasons and events, but I saw weekdays as low as $35. But, yes, there are resorts fees.
Pat Benetar better watch out. 🙂
😂😂😂 I went crazy and did 4 songs! Guns n Roses, Carrie Underwood, and Heart! It was so much fun
Guess its changed? Thought it was very rough. Food was cheap but terrible. O well to each their own.
Maybe the food has improved since you last went. The Front Door is newer and a little more upscale too.
I would never pay $15.00 for a breakfast burrito, when you can get the brisket breakfast for one dollar more.
Fair statement!
Pat Benatar is much shorter than I remember, but she still looks and sounds good.
Haha! #shortgirlproblems
How is the area? Have you stayed at Westgate
We haven’t stayed at Westgate in a number of years. The area by Ellis Island is fine but stay away from side streets at night.
you definitely won't go hungry here... probably go shopping for a new pair of pants.
😂😂😂
I really want to try the ribs. Can I replace the root beer by coke? I really hate root beer.
Haha me too. That was Enrique’s. You can order whatever drink you’d like. 😃
@@UpUpOurWay
That's great! Tried in when I first came to the USA in 1991. Tasted like toothpaste.
1:25 and then at 1:31 she looks like a totally different person, I’m not gonna lie I am high rn but I seriously thought that was a different person! No disrespect intended to homegirl and her channel by saying that 🍻
😂😂😂 I’m a shapeshifter!
@@UpUpOurWayI’m at the pork belly bites, plz no distractions 😂
Will you be there in late May?
We won't be there over Memorial Day weekend because we are headed somewhere else, but might try and take a quick trip the next weekend. We shall see!
How about May 24
@@bradiemcwilliams1102 no we’ll be on a different trip.
Just one bite, everyone knows the rules🍕
😂😂😂
Ill take the briskit bene
It was excellent!
Is it safe to stay there?
I felt completely safe. They had great security. Really nice guys working security too!
I wouldn’t stay there when there are so many better options in Vegas at close to the same point.
@@California_PokerDon't be ridiculous. It's completely fine. It's an awesome place with nice rooms and great food and wonderful prices. Don't give people the wrong idea 🤨 Love love love, Ellis Island ❤
Yes, Ellis Island is safe to stay at very safe 😊
Best value in Vegas, don't go.
Meat looks a little bigger in your hand, camera tricks?
I’m pretty small, so my hands are small too 😂
Place is a dump.
We didn’t think so. Rooms were in better shape than many we stay in. We had so much fun there. Of course it’s not a fancy strip hotel, but I was surprised at how much fun we had there and the deals! Food was honestly really good!
It's not a dump. Why don't you shut the hell up and stop lies 😤
He must be a 🐳.
Great review and a great family own casino. They treat you well and best deals for folks on a budget ‼️👍🏼🏨
It felt like a family owned hotel. There is a non-corporate type of service that is not found often anymore.
@@UpUpOurWay they also own cabins and a clubhouse that was recently rebuilt from a fire ‼️@ MT CHARLESTON . It may be worthwhile to check out during the hot summer? I haven’t been.
@@tonyjaz no way! I didn’t know they owned that!
Great video & review. I've been to the karaoke bar there it's a lot of fun, and drinks weren't too pricey. That brisket looked really good.
Did you sing Pat Benetar too? 😉
@UpUpOurWay No I didn't sing anything I was too drunk 😅😅
Thanks!
Do u get FOOD Deals IF u Stay there ??? In Hawaii 50% off in 3rd party Hotel restaurant during Virus 4***ALOHA😁😁😁😁😁😁
