I felt bad for a ‘new artist’ guy selling his CDs in Vegas so I gave him $5 for it. Got back and put it in the player - nothing on it! 😂
💀
Classic 😂
waste of time for them. They could make more in a day at McDonalds probably.
Howard Hughes had a very nice ploy for not getting taken advantage of by the hotel/casino where he was staying. When they were asking/forcing him to check out of his luxury rooms, he bought the place so that he could stay as long as he wanted. This may not be feasible for every tourist but it is worth a shot if you can pull it off.
I have 4 bucks, so Circus Circus is my only option. :(
That made me laugh
First of all, I vote for Option #2.
As far as the $20 trick, I do encourage people to try it as well, but also tell them to book the level of room that they will be satisfied with. If they won’t be happy in anything under a deluxe style room, but they book a lower type of room figuring they will get the upgrade with the $20 trick, they are often disappointed with the outcome and then they have a room that they don’t like for however long they are in Vegas.
For #9, Caesars is talking about an actual fridge that they will bring to your room and you have during your stay for a small daily fee. They are not talking about the fee to remove personal items from the mini bar. However, if you have medical stuff that needs refrigerated, such as insulin, most (maybe all) hotels will give you the fridge for free. Of course, I don’t encourage lying to get a free fridge because they can run out and somebody that actually does need one for their insulin may not be able to get one.
Great insight Mark! Thank you!
I've lived in Las Vegas for twenty years now and only tried the $20 trick once. I was checking in at Four Queens. I handed her my DL, credit card, and a $20 bill. She asked what the $20 bill was for, and I told her it was for her. She looked bewildered, shrugged, and gave me the room I had reserved. I didn't see the point in trying it again.
The $20 trick will almost always fail if you booked via a 3rd party site. If you booked directly with the hotel, give it a shot.
Does the $20 trick work for getting some kind of amenity for an anniversary? or Birthday?
If I needed insulin I would bring my own cooler. Not gambling on the casino having no fridge to give out.
Yep, #13 applies to me. I walked from Planet Hollywood to a convention center clear out past the airport. Got a great photo of the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign along the way. I made it but I took a cab back.
My wife and I went to Vegas a few years ago and stayed at Planet Hollywood. We were taking a co worker of my wife’s and her husband and everything was on us. The lady had just conquered breast cancer and at the desk my wife asked if there were any upgrades for her friend and her husband. The check in lady upgraded them to what appeared to be the whole top floor. We gladly gave her the twenty. We of course had a dinky little room but that was ok, it was all about them.
I'm close to booking an air/hotel package for March spring break, finding your videos entertaining and helpful. Haven't been to Vegas in 6 years and this will only be my 4th time ever going. Thanks for everything, Jacob!
Thanks for assembling these videos that are so informative, the live walks in Vegas are great, but these are a great change of pace!
I definitely made the shoe mistake. I wore brand new sneakers I bought just for the trip and learned the hard way. My feet were covered in blisters. Thankfully, in addition to the bandages I bought at a little shop, my man's mother had packed a huge Ziploc bag full of all sorts of bandages and first aid items for all of us to share. 🙂
I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who pack zip lock bags of travel stuff. Shout out to your mother-in-law
I buy those bandaids that have like a gel inside them just in case. Vegas walking can get brutal.
I frequent Vegas and know that some cabs will try to take a longer route if they think they can get away with it but never knew this was illegal and they had to eat the fare! This happened to my fiancé and I on one of our trips last year. We called the driver out on it but he still went on his way and we paid the fare just didn’t tip. Fortunately most of the cab drivers we’ve talked to are cool people but this is good to know if this ever happens again!
What is a reasonable price to get from the airport to the Cosmopolitan? Going for the first time to a conference in Vegas and will be alone till I get to hotel. Don't want to get ripped off.
We've NEVER done the $20 trick. We always just come out and ask, when checking in, if there are any available upgrades. We get upgraded 99.999% of the time.
The expected return for the trick is to receive "free" upgrade(s); if you had been getting yours for free simply by asking then good for you//
For free? I doubt it.
@@troothhoortz3630 yes, FREE upgrade.
I have gotten free upgrades by asking, but usually after they see my players card. So really, wasn't free.
Lol she never said free upgrades. She only ask if there are upgrades. Of course there are always upgrades
#1 rookie mistake should have been going to vegas with the intention that you’re going to win money 😂
Very good video. All good points. Regarding the burnout or pace yourself mistake, if you are a first timer or someone who thinks I can make one trip to Vegas and do it all you will be badly mistaken. Assuming you decide you like the place, I would recommend 3-5 day stays for most people and plan on multiple trips. And don't forget there is a lot of other things around Vegas to see besides what's on the strip. Taking a day to travel to places like Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, or a number of other outings is a nice way to break up your time while in Vegas. Also, Vegas is a good place to plan a trip around a concert or sporting event.
Excellent points!
Can't believe he didn't mention the time share people in all the lobbies, they will get you!
Hahahahahaha RUN
I want one so bad
They got me in Tennessee but they were why I made it to Vegas in the first place. Best decision I made. Obviously didn’t enjoy the time share presentation but I fell in love with Vegas
Exactly, they got me , I didn’t buy a time share but I wasted 3 hours in a presentation, I finally got my free ticket for a show but they didn’t want to give it up, they are terrible, stay away from anyone who promises you free shows,
No they won’t I’m broke
Fantastic points to consider! 👍 @ 11:33 - Unprepared Gambling - Another option is watching UA-cam tutorials on the games you would like to learn.
Great point. Gracias Luke!
@@JacobslifeinVegas de nada 😉
Definitely get the players card! I’m going back the week of Christmas and they comped 4 nights of my 5 night stay!
My vote is option 2. The fees will continue to rise and it's like the casinos aren't making enough money now
The first thing I do when I go to Las Vegas is get a 3 day RTC pass for $20. This is the cheapest way to get around on the Strip and Downtown. Plus, you can people watch while you ride.
I get it at the airport!
@@paulpeterson1538 You want a cookie? They are available at every station.
What's a rtc pass?
@@lynnmichelle4091 That is for the bus that runs between the strip and downtown. You can get on and off at many different places. The double decker bus runs 24 hours a day.
I've done that every time I've visited. There is a bus that just goes up and down the strip, and you can hop on at nearly every casino. Super useful. The Vegas Monorail...not so much. It dumps you off in the back of the large resorts and in some cases you have to wind through a mile of narrow corridors and poorly-labeled walkways to get out of the maze.
One thing to add about walking distance on the strip is getting from strip to the actual hotel/resort is additional factor example after walking to the Wynn to see 👀 lake of dreams adds to your actual journey and the hotels themselves are bigger inside than new visitors may realize great 👍 job
Thank you Henry!
I’ve done the “go too hard the first night” all my life. Every trip, it’s part of the vacation ritual.
Rookie Tip #14: Don’t ever tip the valet (or anyone) in loose change. I’ve seen it, it gets ugly.
my vote is definetly to bring both videos. I'm from Germany and I wasn't able to come to Vegas for so long...during this waiting time I really enjoyed watching your vidoes....especially because my wife an I plan to move to Vegas in 3-4 years to life there for 6 month every year...thank you so much for your work and the very good job you're doing !!
Don't move to Vegas. In a few years it will run out of water.
Life in Germany is way better than America
Been to Vegas a number of times and didn't make too many of those mistakes. Fortunately, I was usually with someone who had a bit more experience. Never tried the $20 dollar trick, as I thought it would make me look like a rube. Might have to give it a try. While not a rookie, I do appreciate the other tips which I'll keep in mind next time I visit. Your videos are always informative.
The 20.00 trick is not recommended as an upgrade wont be free anyway. Being polite and just asking is better but if thecheckin line is long dont even ask. They truly mightbe close to a sell out.
I don’t live there anymore as an adult but I was born and raised in Vegas with parents that worked in the casinos and I laughed at myself because I still totally say “old Vegas”😂
Probably because that was the Vegas I remember since we never went to the strip as locals
Yeah, so I go there a lot. I say old Vegas also.
But in 2024; I actually call Las Vegas; new vegas because of the change.
1 more rookie mistake is waiting until check-out time to drive back to Cali on a Sunday.. You'll be in traffic for 8 hours. So either leave by 9am on Sunday or just leave on Monday.
I never understood why more people don't fly versus sitting in that traffic. Basically couple hundred bucks round trip.
Yup! I am arriving on Wed and leaving on Sat next time. I don't care about being there on Saturday night, it's really crowded and annoying and more expensive
@@mannygarcia8092 I like to be mobile in Vegas. Plus I lived in Corona, so I could get to Vegas faster than you could dealing w the airport. Also like to stop at the outlets in Barstow and Baker for Alien Jerky 👽 😉
@@baldeagle4710 I agree! I don't care for Vegas when it's super crowded. Very annoying
#13 was all me. I wore improper (i.e. brand new) footwear on my first trip to Vegas and I paid for it. Back then I also didn't know about the $20 trick. I was staying at Vdara and when I checked-in, I told them it was my first time there and asked if I could get a high floor. I got a room on the 40th with a good view so I was happy (and I unknowingly saved $20).
Here are four extra tips:
1. Don't eat too much at breakfast buffets. Naturally, you're going to be hungry and when seeing all the food, you'll probably want to pile it onto your plate, but if you do that your stomach will NOT be happy, and you'll probably start to feel lethargic. So to avoid potential stomach upset, acid reflux, impromptu bathroom breaks, and feeling tired from having eaten too much, moderate what you eat.
2. Check out the restaurants that aren't downtown or on the strip. Sometimes you can find some amazing places that aren't touristy. My wife and I found an Eastern European restaurant that, from the outside, looks very unimpressive (it was in a strip mall of all things!) but inside it was awesome and the food was fantastic.
3. If you're there during the summer, always make sure you have water with you. Hydration is super important because of the heat and lack of humidity. Plus, it'd be a good idea to wear a hat and even apply some sunscreen if you're prone to sunburns.
4. Get some wool hiking socks. I know that sounds weird, but wool can help prevent blisters (unlike cotton) and it's very easy to get blisters when walking around Vegas. I'm very prone to blisters and I bought some wool hiking socks (I believe the brand is called Icebreaker) and the difference has been night and day. These socks won't stop your feet from feeling tired or general soreness, but at least you won't have to deal with blisters.
Wool is also a much better insulator, has antimicrobial properties and just feels nice everytime I put mine on.
Only been to Vegas once,I cannot complain at all about the taxi drivers,they were very nice and got us to our destinations in a timely manner
Great job. You nailed it!
Thanx for the video Jacob! Wow those are Big mistakes! Option #2 would be good. By the way I was laughing so hard with the people waiting for you to move so they could take their pics! And you were like "I'm working, I'm not moving!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
14th mistake is * do not occupy the phototaking spots a long time* allow others the space to shoot as well 😊
Or clap your hands when you talk, never seen a dude do it b4.
@@daveycrocker4466 you sound homophobic and sexist. I didn't know that women were only allowed to do that while talking.
@@daveycrocker4466 you must not get out much because dudes do that too.
The man is giving big time VALUE about Vegas (for FREE).
And how do u know hevdidnt pause in between cuts to LET someone take a pic ... IFFF someone even REQUESTED to do so????
Facts
Fremont Street is my vote! Thanks, Jacob, great vids as always!
Options 2 ,great program Thankyou
Great advice Jacob!
Got two more tips to add: 1. Bring more cash than you plan to bring because atm fees are high and with our current economy, saving $ is more valuable than ever. 2. Any items you bring that fit in your pockets or small bags, keep them in front of you to prevent thieves from pickpocketing you from behind. If they attempt to steal from you, see them face to face.
TIPS!
Stop at ABC store and pickup a 1 liter. Go back to hotel and fill bag with ice from ice machine. Go to room and put bag in bathroom sink. Put it in sink so you don't get water all over when the ice melts. You may get charged for being stupid.
Great tips - thanks!
Great tips. Thank you.
The player's card is really good advice. I keep ending up in Vegas and thinking it is going to be years till I'm there again, and then I end up there again. If only I would have gotten a player's card!
Great video! I vote for option 2! Another big tip would be to visit a liquor store before going out on the town! Can't tell you the number of people looking for alcohol after hours downtown with no luck!
Total Wines and Liquors south of Mandalay Bay in LV Blvd has the best prices. Also the shop at the Gold Coast (with a 10% discount if you have a BConnected Card) has good prices.
Or go into a casino ans play cheap slots and all you can drink for freewe
@@ImZenethen you sit in one uncomfortable place while you drink
Thank you so much Jacot , I really appreciated and enjoy all your videos 👍😊 I really learn a lot on how to spend my money and where to go , I have lots of fun 🤗
Please continue to give us your advice 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for an awesome tips Jacob 👍👍
Jacob - I am sure you are aware that the taxi companies are now required by law to not exceed the fixed fares from the airport to various strip hotels. Also, newcomers are advised to pay cash for their taxi rides, to avoid service charges for debit or credit cards.
Number 2 would be good. Most people don’t know what they’re missing
Good advice!!! Thanks for sharing
De nada!
Option 2. Great job Jacob always!
Walking walking walking!!!. When me and my husband first webt to Vegas in 2012 we were at TI and we could see MGM and I thought it was so much closer than it was. I argued with my husband over how close it was because I could see it. He still picks on me about it. It was 100° outside to boot. 😂
True I walked from mirage to New York New York just to take my kids to Hershey they were tired half way lol
I live in louisiana 100 degrees in Vegas feels pleasant in August
@@michaelsuzio4364 Rofl we are from Southeast Texas. I'll take humidity over dry heat any day of the year too.
#14..never count your money out in public, best to do so inside a casino..but, even then, do so cautiously. #15..once you arrive at your destined hotel, don't open your trunk with all your goodies, take an item, then check in first before coming back to bring out all your stuff..thieves are always watching//
Very good tip!
Where you stay must be vigilant if you gamble there too. Eyes could be following...
Fantastic job Jacob!!! Option2
Thank you for the advice
Great video! I lived out there for 6 years from 2003-2009 and continue to visit every year minus the pandemic and I still call Fremont "Old Vegas" 🤣🤷♀️
😁
Well done Jacob. Very informative.👏👏#2
Great video every 1st timer should watch. I would like to see a detailed video of staying Downtown. I usually stay on The Strip but am thinking of staying there next trip.
About the fridges with the items in them AND the snacks that get charged as well. I call them "Indiana Jones traps"!
That's because if you even touch them or move them, like Indy tried to do with substituting the weighted bag of sand for the idol, you'll get hit, just not by a rolling boulder! :D
But I gotta know whats in the Pleasure Pouch!!
We ended up walking at least 50 miles in a week, at least there are no mountains to scale. We were at Treasure Island and some of our work friends were at MGM Signature. Finding them on the strip at night was difficult, to say the least. Yes, 1st time in Vegas. We also had a cabbie disable his credit card machine so we had to pay in cash. A very drunk friend went over to a couple fake showgirls and we took his picture. They demanded $40 from him and he asked both of them for $ because they got their picture taken with him. My wife won $420 with two $20 bets on the slots. I lost $40.
good shit - subbed.
Great one!
#13 totally got me lol I tried to walk from Tropicana to the Mirage in the August heat, in new shoes, in like 30 mins up and down stairs and escalators on the way. That's 2 miles right there and I nearly died of heat exhaustion. I got there feeling nauseous and had to cab it back with giant blisters. I'm all for walking but it's always farther than you think.
You omitted the biggest I made when I was a Las Vegas rookie. Agreeing to do a timeshare presentation.
Excellent video. Option two please. thank you.
Nice video Jacob!!! Option 1
My tip I'll add is that if you book a limo, be sure to specify "STRETCH" if that's what you'd like. I was so excited for my first trip only to be picked up from the airport by a SEDAN. Our party of four could barely even fit in there. I was definitely annoyed because I thought it was apparent that most people who refer to a limousine mean a stretch limo. 🤦
Good tip!
@@pinkman9465 Shouldn't you be cooking?
rookie
The $20 trick at the Travel Lodge on the strip will get you an extra trash bag...
And a can of bug spray
@@graysonwagner1855 You have to be a VIP to get that...
Hugely helpful! Thanks! 😁
No problem!
Option 2, great video!!!!
I am from the uk,and I think that vegas has become to pricey for us to travel there,first time I visited was 20 years ago and found it to be a great experience,cheap food and buffets,but now the hotel owners have got there strategy wrong,it has put people off coming to vegas,regarding all the add ins,it’s a shame,vegas is going one way,and that’s not up !!!!
Ive worked on Fremont since 2014 and I've seen people make the mistake of thinking the strip is within walking distance of Fremont. But in reality, it's about 6 miles lol
Loved the video ..oh option 2 please
I've learned so much from you man
To all Vegas first-timers: WATCH THIS VIDEO! These are all really good pieces of advice.
Very useful and practical tips. I want to add one more. Tip #14: Don't visit LV without first watching this video.
Great video Jacob! I have been toVegas before. You can always learn something new.
this was awesome, thanks
De nada!
If you want to take a picture at the famous 'Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas' sign and avoid the crowds of people parking there, standing there, and mugging it constantly for their own selfies (as well as the Elvis impersonators and other 'performers' trying to hustle you for photo cash tips) - do it on a weekday like Monday or Tuesday (if you can), and always try to do it early (7am to 9:30am to get a well lit shot).
Do not underestimate the '5 Skull' drinks at Frankie's Tiki Bar either. Having 3 or 4 or more will ensure you're incapacitated for 2 to 4 hours of your day/night.
OK
I love Downtown. So much more fun, everything is so close!
Good stuff. Thanks.
De nada!
Option 2 Jacob and thanks for the tips😊
Very true. I don’t bother with the 20 dollar trick just because the digital check ins are sooooo much faster. Always mile long lines to actually check in with a person. Another mistake I see people make is touching things on the strip like guard rails and hand rails. Outside the casinos I wouldn’t touch anything.
Thanks, I'm a Boomer, but I like digital tricks that make life easier.
I despise self check in/out. Not touching stuff is probably smart.
@@Lengsel7 Why is that?
My first three trips to vegas the $20 trick worked each and every time. And I book through 3rd party (air canada) because airfare alone is often only like 5 percent less than a hotel package.
I was there in the beginning of oct, the place was slow and complimentary upgrades were not an option, at all. I think MGM has told their staff not to do it.
I stay at the signature and the line is always really short, but if I stayed at Ceasar's or something where the lineups take hours I'd probably go for digital check in.
We just tried the $20 trick and it worked great! Thanks for the great tip!
Glad it helped Jane!
Great video!
Those people in the background eyeballing you, though 🤣
Awesome advice sir I just subscribed!
Welcome to the channel Dan!
Pic nic weather for us Canadians. Walked around in shorts everyone was wearing winter coat. This is February.
When I was in Las Vegas in January 2020 the temperatures dropped to the low 30s. Would you wear shorts outdoors in the low 30s?
Thank you for the information! As someone who travels to Vegas a lot, I detect no lies told in this video! LOL! Also I would like to see why stay on Fremont. I just stayed there for the first time Thanksgiving weekend and felt like I have been missing out all these years just staying on the strip! I wish I would have known better! Its way cheaper to buy things and a lot more fun!
I love the El Cortez. Always a nice clean room and affordable.
@@boitoiful have you ever stayed at the Circa. I've never stayed there but it looks very nice.
@@gumshew2007 No I never have.
Option 2,please. Good work!
Great video.
Option 1! I'm interested in 2 as well though.. PLEASE will you do a video on the different types of hotel hold fees? I've heard some hotels do a nightly charge that can be from 100$-400$ per night you stay, and other hotels will do 100$-250$ the whole stay.
I know MGM does a $100 a night hold
First, I vote for option #2.
I will be coming to Vegas for the first time ever in April. I may be a rookie, but I have learned a few things already.
1. Because of the dry desert air, the average person's ability to metabolize alcohol increases by 300% so I can drink three times my limit.
2. A good place to gamble is the slot machines at the airport. Nobody has ever won anything there, so they're due.
3. A great way to get discounts on meals and shows is to go to time-share seminars. These are usually less than an hour and the things they offer are always top notch.
4. Prostitution is legal in Nevada, everyone knows that. So there is no problem with bringing hookers back to your hotel room.
I am going to have a great time Vegas. Mostly because I'm too smart to take my own advice.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great video...I vote option 2!
Lol all facts 💯 great vids
#2. I’ve always stayed on the strip and wanna try downtown next time
I used to stay at the budget inn for a week or two when I came down. The one over by the outlets on the south side. Anyway, I’ve done the walk from there all the way to Ti and back and it was brutal. I now stay on the strip with comped rooms and don’t walk nearly as much.
Good vlog. Option 2 😁
Option #2...great video!
Don't expect any upgrades with the $20 tip if it's a Saturday in the summer or any major holiday. Works best on a weekday when they have flexibility in what they can give you.
Walking around outside is especially tough in the summer when it’s 110.
I'm happy that you mentioned Casino Quest in this video. David and Alex are great people and their staff is top notch
Just found your channel. I come to Vegas a lot but loved these tips/reminders, thanks. Any update videos planned for possible water/power issues that could effect Vegas because of Lake Mead? btw…..I’m from Canada and I always bring a jacket because it gets cold for me too 😉
Just did a lake mead video today 😉
Don’t gamble until the last day you are there
Out of all the things that you said the walking distances is probably the best one. I usually stay at Ti. and I like to go to Harris or planet Hollywood and on a busy night that Walk could take you 45 minutes but it looks like it’s just two hotels away. I call it jagged walking
Harris isn't far from TI bro, it's barley across the street and down a block... but Planet Hollywood can be a good walk. I used to love TI, always comp'd me well. MGM has gone downhill big time since covid
Your videos are awesome. You’re charismatic. Instead of saying “okay” just pause before going into your next tip/idea.
Option 2. Good stuff to know
The only problem with the $20 trick is a lot of the hotels now have the check-in/out kiosks which is making it harder to do that.
The walking part is not too bad if your used to walking. I’ve walked from around the Wynn over to Frankie’s Tiki room and many other spots, but I live in NYC and we walk most places so those long walks actually aren’t too bad, but it’s not for everyone.
Never use the kiosk always a human, no matter what it takes or get the manager oh, that's how you negotiate I've never had to do the 20 and I get two or three upgrades while I'm there, sometimes upgrade each day during my stay. I paid 150 for three days at Bally's Horseshoe with view of strip and upgrade, and I negotiated free parking too
@@rocknroll7400 Is it really worth it if the line is super long, though?
@@smooshiebear80 I never have had more than 6 ahead of me.. I don't check in or out with the herd
@@rocknroll7400 What time do you usually check in? I’ve never been there before so this is all new to me.
@@smooshiebear80 whenever I see few people or not during conferences or convention herds, or at night or early morning and get room for later ocon I fed Mgr last month to wave the half day, (employee wanted early check in fee or full day payment for remaining 6 hours, Hell no!
