I just tell people it's because I'm locked into a timeshare that was left to me in my uncle's will. "I'm not smart enough to get out of this timeshare so I just make the most of it" 🤷
I am not a fancy diner but the food at Carbone looked amazing! I wish my husband had the desire to go to Vegas, he is not a traveler lol he’s a homebody but Vegas is my happy place 😊 what a great first day
Fun times, you guys know how to work the strip! Glad you like Carbones, our experience back in February was horrible. We told each other we would never return, after seeing your video maybe we'll give it another try? Thanks for sharing....From Canada with luck!
Love that you guys went to Istanbul Mediterranean, it's been SO long since we've been there and we LOVE their shawarmas and that they are open till 4 and 5am!!
"Why do you always go to Vegas?" "Because we like Vegas." Most relatable thing ever haha. Loved this vlog! Im new to your channel and will definitely be following along. Keep up the great work
What a great surprise to see this. I just got home today from six nights in Vegas. I agree that April in Vegas is perfect weather wise. On this trip, we stayed four nights in the Aria Sky Suites. If you have never experienced it, you need to. It was beyond amazing! I can't wait to see day two!
A Heavenly Kid reference!! We could be friends!! 🤣🤣🤣. That Wynn match and eventual FB match that y’all will do is a game changer 🤘🤘. My dude Nick works at the Bar at Carbone but it looks like he wasn’t working when you guys ate. That is on my bucket list of Vegas … cuz we are cheap Del Taco eating folks …. Unlike Bougie Dave 🤣🤣… just kidding 😘😘. Excellent stuff as always y’all 🤘🤘
Lol! Glad you’ve seen that movie!! One day you guys have to try Carbone - totally worth it! We plan on using the FB credit in November so it will definitely come in handy then!
Aww, thanks so much you guys! Funny thing, we didn’t plan the drink of wine at the same time but it definitely turned out that way! Lol Maybe being married for over 20 years will do that 😆 Thanks again for subscribing! Cheers 🥂
Awesome vlog guys! I always enjoy the mix of sights, sounds, slots and food that you have in your videos! Great rooms at Cosmo. I enjoyed the strip walk and seeing some new slot games along the way. Simone and I love Istanbul Mediterranean at the Bazar Shops! It's always a great choice and never to busy. It reminds me of an Iraqi place we have here in our town. Carbone looked so good. I could make a meal out of the free apps 😋. Thanks for sharing your day! Hope to see you soon in Vegas!
Hey, Andy and Simone! Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ Yes, Istanbul was a fantastic surprise and we have to get back to try more options. One of the highlights was definitely Carbone - been trying to snag a reservation for quite some time. Everything was phenomenal! Cheers, guys! 🥂🎰🍀
I'm so sad that Shalom Y'all is closing! They're my Oregon peeps and I loved that they had a location in Vegas. I must say, Carbone looked pretty fantastic! That carpaccio looked legit and actually made my mouth water 😂
Lol! The whole experience at Carbone was AMAZING! If you guys can snag a reservation there we highly recommend it! We’re super sad Shalom Y’all closed. We didn’t realize they were from Oregon. If you guys are looking for Mediterranean on the next trip, Istanbul Mediterranean at the Grand Bazaar shops by Ole’ Red was fantastic. We have to try more from there! We appreciate you guys watching and will catch up on yours soon!
Yo, Dave and Sonia! Glad to see you back in action and on my big screen. Amanda and I are almost exclusively bar top sitters. Glad you had a good experience. I’d like to do the fireside lounge thingy at Peppermill. I’ll message you!
Love Carbones 😍 We've eaten there multiple times.And will there again next week, can't wait!! I've learned to make the reservations at least 6 weeks out. Great vlog as always!
It was such a great experience! Great advice booking a couple months out before your trip! It’s hard to snag a reservation already so we get it! Thanks for watching!!
Ugh…we know! It was the first ‘luxury hotel’ we stayed at many years ago and feel in love with it. Can’t tell you how many more times we stayed there with friends and family and the memories made. It will be interesting when everything is said and done. We appreciate you subscribing! ❤️
Ok so I am halfway through editing my vlogs and needed a break, so what do I do, I watch your vlog lol. Apart from feeling very inadequate as a trainee vlogger it was great to see you guys doing it how it should be done. I did the fb, Wynn, mgm gold tier match and got my stay comped so it was well worth it. I had a terrible session on mo mummy, I really wanted to love it too
Yeah, we are looking forward to checking out your vlogs this weekend. Hope you had a blast! Yeah, that mo mummy is a tough one to win one but definitely fun! Lol
I love the Carbone experience and 💯 agree with all of it. I went in March and sat at the bar - I almost always sit at the counter and really enjoy it. The little dishes they bring out before the meal are such a nice touch to the experience and good to have with a cocktail or wine while perusing the menu. I had the lobster ravioli too and was really surprised at how much lobster they packed in and on the dish (Hey George the ocean called!! 🤣) and the squid ink pasta is a great choice for the dish. You MUST try the broiled clams next time.
Hi D&S - love the opening travel portion - you could show more. OMG, Cosmo added a queue to the registration/check-in area! They have never had that and we always hated that you had to pick a line and hope it went well. Love the view from your room. Excellent that you take advantage of the tier matching. Great chicken wraps. The bonuses at the Cosmo were decent before going to Carbone's which looked brilliant. Great vlog guys!! Hugs to you both. 😎❤🍻
We always I mean always sit at the bar , and the experience with the bartender and the conversation and service is impeccable , my husband years ago was like no way , now as we are older , he’s like only a bar man for dinner . Another great review❤
Thank you again for sharing your Vegas trip! We love watching your channel and hope to get to see you again in Vegas. We are excited to try Carbone’s after watching your experience and feel lucky to get a reservation for our upcoming June trip!
Hey Mark and Heather! Yes, I am sure we’ll bump into each other again on a future trip! We’re excited you guys snagged a reservation at Carbone! Gotta let us know what you think when you’re there! Cheers! ❤️🥂🎰🍀
We were in town last Tuesday to Saturday. Think I saw on your Facebook you guys were in aria on Saturday, we were too just before heading home. Gutted we didn’t see you to say hello. Hope you had a blast!
Oh man! This was totally a last minute thing for us and we were surprised with the number of peeps in Vegas at the same time. Was total luck bumping into a few of them! Hope you guys had a blast on the trip! There will be more opportunities to connect in the future! 🫶
Really enjoyed this, the start made me laugh. Me and Emily said someone’s getting a text message ( we hadn’t heard that sound in years) then the rest of the music kicked in and we were like o it’s a song 😂😂. Will have to try Cobone, always so hard to get in though. Looking forward to the next one!
😂😂 I have to say the first time we came across it I had similar thoughts, then the track hit. It’s a bop for sure! We appreciate you guys watching ! ❤️🥂🎰🍀
Another great video, guys! Oooooh Carbone - we can’t wait to go. We did have reservations once a few months back but ended up ditching them :) It is definitely on our list, it looks amazing. This was such a fun day full of lots of fun slots, drinks, and food - thanks for sharing 💕
J&G! Yes, you guys will definitely need to experience Carbone - and make sure to sit at the bar too! We appreciate you guys hanging with us on this one! 🫶🥂🎰
I absolutely agree with you guys on Istanbul Mediterranean...it is delicious! We always go for the rice bowl when there! Carbone looked absolutely delicious. Our Italian favorites are BuddyVs at the Venetian and Battistas. But after watching this Carbone is getting added to the list of new places to try! Thanks for taking us along for another fun day in Vegas Sonya and Dave!
Thank guys! We want to go back to Carbone so bad! lol We keep saying we plan on trying new places every visit but I think we will do Carbone again this year 😬☺️ Hope you guys are well!
Great way to start a Friday glad to see you back missed you. We were in Vegas in March, heading out road trip tomorrow Saturday can't wait. We Love Vegas too❤, funny how people always ask "why Vegas" . Can't wait gonna get some pool time in for sure, gambling & great food. Thanks for sharing
WOW!!!! Awesome video. I subscribed to you guys. Super clear quality, excellent editing and you hit alot of places and most of all ITS UP TO DATE. I see so many videos on here about Vegas that are 1-3 years old. I noticed the people that get alot of hits is when they say what casino they are in and mention lots of different casinos while walking on the strip. So many people traveling to Vegas this summer. Its good to know bottles water is cheapest at ABC stores. CVS and Walgreens are good too. And the cheapest ATM machine is on the 3rd floor of the M&M store it has a $2 fee. Casino Royale ATM has a $3 fee. Thanks for sharing your videos. Keep up the good work. Maybe you could do a walk through the strip at night. May want to stay away from FreakMont St at night. lol lol Thanks again.
Thank you, Mr. Scotty! Our editing is self-taught (a lot of YT videos 😀) so we greatly appreciate the kind words! Awesome tip with cheap ATM fees on the strip and staying hydrated in the summer is key! Thank you again for hanging with us on this series - back to Vegas in June!! 🥂🎰🍀
@@DaverrasonTravels I'm in NC so the weather is not bad but June in Vegas is super hot. Stock up on the water eh! Girlfriend and I are heading to Vegas in September. Should be fun. We've been 4 times. Keep the videos coming.
We are blaming you guys for this... We were booked for a quick 2-night trip for Mother's Day weekend... Watching you guys got us so excited for our trip that we just scrambled changing plans and are now flying out a day earlier on Thursday! Lol... (And it hasn't even been a month since we've been there! ) Thanks for the great content and helping us get psyched for all our Vegas trips!
😂😂 This is awesome! Thank you for the kind words too! If we can help get you guys excited to go earlier, then that is a win! We hope y’all have a blast while there and win big! 🥂🎰🍀❤️
We Really wanted to get there and tier match at the Wynn but it just wasn’t in the cards. I always love your tips and reviews. You have made Carbone a must for us. It looked scrumptious. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers!
Love Carbone! Hard to get a reservation the last couple of trips. On a family meal we had there, one of my sons (wise guy) didn’t like the bottle of wine we ordered and complained about it. Our waiter sent for the wine expert who highly recommended a wine. My son said sure, not asking for the price. When I asked for the bill (mom, me, always pays!), the bottle of wine was $500!!!, more than the entire meal for seven people! (Luckily, two of my sons paid for it.) This has become a funny family story. Love Vegas!
Omg I’m so excited!! I’ve kept thinking how I hope you guys have a Vegas trip soon. I love your vlogs so much!! You guys could vlog your day to day life and I’d watch every minute!!!
Another great video guys! My wife and I also love the bar dining experience. We usually do that at Crush in MGM Grand. Always a great dining option! Keep up the great work!!
Yea, this was the first ‘bar experience’ that we recall in Vegas! So much fun and the bartenders at Carbone were all fantastic! We’re going to have to check out Crush now!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 on your winnings today sonia love your haircut whenever I watch your Vegas video's i feel like im always with you being our tour guides sonia ❤t shirt of Texas food look yummy sending lots of support ❤❤❤ paw power and hugs have a fantastic weekend stay safe out there sonia happy mama day weekend early 😊 question did you ever met Vegas low roller or big jackpot aka scott ritcher
Awesome vlog guys! Carbone looked awesome and that block of cheese could just sit on my table for dinner lol. Istanbul was another funny one, we've walked by it SO many times saying we should try it and never do so maybe next trip. Loved the strip cruise to tier match and makign sure you maximize all your Vegas options. Looking forward to the next one 😎
C&A!!! 🫶 yes, you guys have to try Instanbul - plenty of options and next time we’re getting the loaded fries! Our goal this short trip was to tier match and getting Wynn Platinum and FB hold was a highlight! There will be a ton of us there the first week of November (Zorkfest) and we plan of using the F&B at FB then!
@@DaverrasonTravels we are gonna try it next trip and not walk by for the hundredth time. Also we are looking into a November trip and hoping that could line up with a tier multiplier and we would make it happen!
1664 is a great beer I’m glad you got to try it! They also do a wheat beer called 1664 Blanc which I managed to find in some liquor stores and bars but yet to find it on tap outside of Europe! If you like wheat beer like Blue Moon or Mango Cart give it a try!! Also that French toast looks divine! I’ve gotta try it soon, maybe next trip!
Thank you for that! 1664 was definitely light and crisp - perfect for a hot day. We’re both fans of Blue Moon too, but haven’t tried Mango Cart. On it next trip! The French Toast is divine! Always cooked to perfection and easily shareable!
@@DaverrasonTravels absolutely love Mango Cart! Also didn’t know you could get blue moons on the casino floor until I watched your videos! Yes it definitely looks shareable so it’s on my radar now!
Great Video. My husband and I watch both of you on you tube all the time. This time I noticed a swelling on the right side of your neck that you might want to have checked out. I had a swelling just like that and the Doctor tol me it was a cyst. He watched it for some time and it eventually got to be about 4.6 cm.. It wouldn't hurt to have it checked just in case it's serious. Thanks, Pat Romo
Hey guys, do good you were able to take advantage of the recent tier match promos, makes me so sad we live so far away as we're just missed out on all these offers. We are back in the fall but obviously we will miss out on matching offers. You guys had some good food, Chris loves a gyros but we haven't tried Istanbul Med yet and Carbone looked unreal 🤤🤤🤤 we love a good Italian so will definitely have to add it to our list. Thanks for bringing us along ❤
Hey C&J! You guys definitely make up for lost time on your adventures! There are a lot of options at Instanbul and we're dying to try the loaded fries..next time for sure! Carbone is our favorite Italian now and definitely a top 3 restaurant for us - it's worth the visit! ❤️We appreciate you guys hanging with us on this one! Cheers! 🎰🥂
@@DaverrasonTravels the name definitely make us wonder if they do any Turkish fayre so we will definitely be swinging by to check it out. That's a great recommendation for Carbone so thanks for bringing it to our attention. We look forward to watching the next one 😍😍
Just missed you guys as we left Aria on the 24th. 😟 We also did the tier matching at Wynn and returning on May 6th for the Caesar’s 5X tier credits. Can’t wait.
We seen you guys last week i think Wednesday on the strip around the Flamingo maybe??... by the time I realized it was you guys you were past us a few feet and looked like you were on a mission..lol.. you weren't filming ...anyway keep up the good work !!! Love the videos!!
Lol! Yes, Wednesday we were on a missing to capture two vlogs...whew. Hope y'all had a blast on your trip! I am sure our paths will cross again in Vegas, but this time please stop us and say hi! 🥂🎰🍀
I agree, I absolutely LOVED Carbone! (and always love Sam Cooke) Too bad Nick wasnt bartending that night at Carbone, he's so awesome. Did you charge your meal back to Cosmo?
The bar experience was great! We follow Nick on social media and he looks like a blast too! We were able to charge dinner back to the Cosmo so that was a plus as well!
Yay! Another great video. Glad you were able to take advantage of the tier matching. Unfortunately, I won’t be there until July so I will just miss it 😢. Were you able to match to MGM gold?
Another AMAZINGGGG video! Loved it 🥰🥰 Question for you, how did you get the platinum at Caesars? This tier matching stuff is so confusing and what all you need to even start the matching.
Hey, Brittany! So definitely get a players card at any players club desk in the casino and use that when you’re gambling. For Caesars, we hit the second tier (Platinum) and used that to tier match at Wynn to their Platinum card and then took the Wynn Platinum to Fontainbleau to get Gold level. I know…a lot of info… look at the Wynn and Fontainbleau website to get some more details for which cards work for tier watching and what benefits you get. In most cases, it is definitely worth it to tier match when casinos offer it. The amount of food and beverage credit you get is great value!
I’m surprised that bar tenders allowed you to sit without throwing them a $50.00 bill. Carbones is amazing but you can never get a reservation. Even if you book a party of two and your guest can’t make it, they won’t allow you to sit at a table by yourself. Last two experiences with the bar tenders, I don’t recommend sitting at the bar. Apparently, they allow their “locals” to occupy the seats that have the reserved sign in its place. Surprisingly, on a recent Las Vegas Knights game, the locals dressed one step better than the homeless, were allowed to sit at the bar, however, if you’re in a dress/pant suit with your guest in a blazer and shoes, they’ll tell you that you don’t meet their “dress” code. What a bunch of crap.
Wow! Our experience was great. We were promptly seated at the bar and taken care of. We did tip at the end, but didn’t have to front anything just to be seated.
Thank for this video,if you didnt tell me I could tier match to Wynn platinum and then go to Fontainebleau to get cold ,I would just use my MGM gold to get silver Fontainebleau. Thank you for that 😊
We will be there the first week of June with some family and then in November with some friends! But you never know, we like to do quick surprise trips! 😆
What dates in April was this, me and my husband have just got back from a trip and the whole holiday consisted of 'I wonder if we will see the people from DaverrasonTravels' (you are our favourite Vegas vloggers) and its killing us that you were potentially there the whole time 😅. Another great video 😍
Awe…thank you so much! ❤️it was a quick trip but we were there at the end of the month (24th - 27th). We were running all over the place to tier match and grab some content. Hopefully we’ll cross paths in the future! Thank you again for the kind words! 🥂🎰🍀❤️
Yep we were there, left on the 26th haha. What's worse is the dinner option for the same day was Carbone or Din Tai Fung and we chose the latter (which was delicious tbf) We are from the UK so no other plans for 2024 but you never know 🤭. Hope you have a great time!
What do you think of Bang Bar at Cosmo? We enjoyed the u-wraps and yuzu lemonade. Also, make sure the Wynn Players Club lady don't snatch your Platinum Card next year. 😄
As time goes on MGM is ruining Cosmo. It used to be a premier property, but the last three trips I've had issues with facilities and service. The line at check in is ridiculous and I'm a platinum card holder.
Baby bets are the only bets! Lol! We have a higher tier with other resorts since we play there more. Wynn and FB are tier matching so we took our Caesars Plat to Wynn to tier match to their Plat, then to FB to tier match to Gold. We play at a lot of properties while in Vegas so might as well take advantage of tier matching when there.
@DaverrasonTravels was an awesome trip.....slots were the same for us...as tight as a ducks backside haha . Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs Have a guid yin 😁👌
@@DaverrasonTravels If you tier match to a certain level it might get you free parking or no resort fees maybe a free night or two. But real comps are going to be based on play and not tier status. Ask your casino host, I just asked 2 of mine and they both said the same thing.
@@DaverrasonTravels when you check out and nothing hits your credit card. LOL… 5 nights in a suite, picked up from the airport, free play, show tickets, and all meals covered. Believe it or not that isn’t hard to get if you focus your play with one company.
@mrmotel9977 lol! Yes, zero balance on your bill is the best! We wanted to tier match for a couple reasons: 1) higher tier off the bat entices us to play more at a property. 2) some resorts have an aggressive match offer. Fontainebleau offers $150 F&B with their Gold players card (matching from Wynn Platinum). This makes us want to spend more time at the FB resort to build tier credits while having an amazing dinner. Between my wife and I thats $300 in F&B just for walking over to tier match. 3) Wynn offers 2 complimentary Masterclass session with Platinum for 2 people. Masterclasses range in price but we took advantage of that and got 4 tickets to a Masterclass that was ~$1000 complimentary. Between both there are other perks that are available to you IF you are there to maximize the value. I agree, spending time building tier credits with one or two properties is probably ideal, and generally thats what we do, but when tier matching is offered (which isn’t often) we love to take advantage of it to get ‘some’ of the perks!
I get that alllll the time!!!! Why do you always go to Vegas. Blah blah blah. Because I like I Vegas!!! And Vegas likes me!!! lol!!!
Lol! Yes!!! Vegas loves us!!
Same! Where else can I get a free room with F&B credit every month 😂
Exactly 😂😂😂
I just tell people it's because I'm locked into a timeshare that was left to me in my uncle's will. "I'm not smart enough to get out of this timeshare so I just make the most of it" 🤷
It’s just… IYKYK
The Cosmo is the best!
It’s definitely great! I will say the North end of the strip is growing on us. Resorts World, Wynn/Encore, Fontainbleau.. great spots too!
@@DaverrasonTravels I can’t wait to check out fountainbleau
I am not a fancy diner but the food at Carbone looked amazing! I wish my husband had the desire to go to Vegas, he is not a traveler lol he’s a homebody but Vegas is my happy place 😊 what a great first day
If you get a chance to try Carbone, do it! We appreciate you following along on this adventure! ❤️
Nothing better than a breakfast taco and a flight to Vegas. Enjoyed the vlog!
Can’t beat it!
Thanks so much 🫶🫶
Fun times, you guys know how to work the strip! Glad you like Carbones, our experience back in February was horrible. We told each other we would never return, after seeing your video maybe we'll give it another try? Thanks for sharing....From Canada with luck!

Love that you guys went to Istanbul Mediterranean, it's been SO long since we've been there and we LOVE their shawarmas and that they are open till 4 and 5am!!

Thank you again for sharing your Vegas trip! We love watching your channel and hope to get to see you again in Vegas. We are excited to try Carbone’s after watching your experience and feel lucky to get a reservation for our upcoming June trip!
Hey Mark and Heather! Yes, I am sure we’ll bump into each other again on a future trip! We’re excited you guys snagged a reservation at Carbone! Gotta let us know what you think when you’re there!
Cheers! ❤️🥂🎰🍀
Hi, what a great vlog. Thanks for taking me along👍😁. I am exhausted 😂. Can’t wait for the next🎉😁!! Enjoy yourself🎉🎈
😂😂Thank you! We appreciate you following our adventures!
Hey guys glad to see another series posted. Love following you in Vegas. Keep up the great work and thanks for bringing us along.
We appreciate you watching our adventures! Thank you❤️
We were in town last Tuesday to Saturday. Think I saw on your Facebook you guys were in aria on Saturday, we were too just before heading home. Gutted we didn’t see you to say hello. Hope you had a blast!
Oh man! This was totally a last minute thing for us and we were surprised with the number of peeps in Vegas at the same time. Was total luck bumping into a few of them!
Hope you guys had a blast on the trip! There will be more opportunities to connect in the future! 🫶
Really enjoyed this, the start made me laugh. Me and Emily said someone’s getting a text message ( we hadn’t heard that sound in years) then the rest of the music kicked in and we were like o it’s a song 😂😂. Will have to try Cobone, always so hard to get in though. Looking forward to the next one!
😂😂 I have to say the first time we came across it I had similar thoughts, then the track hit. It’s a bop for sure!
We appreciate you guys watching ! ❤️🥂🎰🍀
Great to see you back italian looked amazing thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Hey, Steph! Carbone was phenomenal! If you get a chance, definitely check it out!
Another great video, guys! Oooooh Carbone - we can’t wait to go. We did have reservations once a few months back but ended up ditching them :) It is definitely on our list, it looks amazing. This was such a fun day full of lots of fun slots, drinks, and food - thanks for sharing 💕
J&G! Yes, you guys will definitely need to experience Carbone - and make sure to sit at the bar too! We appreciate you guys hanging with us on this one! 🫶🥂🎰
I absolutely agree with you guys on Istanbul Mediterranean...it is delicious! We always go for the rice bowl when there! Carbone looked absolutely delicious. Our Italian favorites are BuddyVs at the Venetian and Battistas. But after watching this Carbone is getting added to the list of new places to try! Thanks for taking us along for another fun day in Vegas Sonya and Dave!
Thank guys! We want to go back to Carbone so bad! lol
We keep saying we plan on trying new places every visit but I think we will do Carbone again this year 😬☺️
Hope you guys are well!
@@DaverrasonTravels as soon as I get over Covid I'll be well, but currently not so much...but at least I have plenty of time to watch UA-cam 😅
@AGoodTimesProductions oh no! Dang Covid! Yes, plenty of time to rest and watch UA-cam!
Great day 1 guys! Carbone has been on our list. Next trip we are trying it! Looking forward to more!
Yes, do it!
Great way to start a Friday glad to see you back missed you. We were in Vegas in March, heading out road trip tomorrow Saturday can't wait. We Love Vegas too❤, funny how people always ask "why Vegas" . Can't wait gonna get some pool time in for sure, gambling & great food. Thanks for sharing
That’s awesome! We hope you have a blast and enjoy that pool time! ❤️🎰🥂🍀
WOW!!!! Awesome video. I subscribed to you guys. Super clear quality, excellent editing and you hit alot of places and most of all ITS UP TO DATE. I see so many videos on here about Vegas that are 1-3 years old. I noticed the people that get alot of hits is when they say what casino they are in and mention lots of different casinos while walking on the strip. So many people traveling to Vegas this summer. Its good to know bottles water is cheapest at ABC stores. CVS and Walgreens are good too. And the cheapest ATM machine is on the 3rd floor of the M&M store it has a $2 fee. Casino Royale ATM has a $3 fee. Thanks for sharing your videos. Keep up the good work. Maybe you could do a walk through the strip at night. May want to stay away from FreakMont St at night. lol lol Thanks again.
Thank you, Mr. Scotty! Our editing is self-taught (a lot of YT videos 😀) so we greatly appreciate the kind words! Awesome tip with cheap ATM fees on the strip and staying hydrated in the summer is key!
Thank you again for hanging with us on this series - back to Vegas in June!! 🥂🎰🍀
@@DaverrasonTravels I'm in NC so the weather is not bad but June in Vegas is super hot. Stock up on the water eh! Girlfriend and I are heading to Vegas in September. Should be fun. We've been 4 times. Keep the videos coming.
We are blaming you guys for this... We were booked for a quick 2-night trip for Mother's Day weekend... Watching you guys got us so excited for our trip that we just scrambled changing plans and are now flying out a day earlier on Thursday! Lol... (And it hasn't even been a month since we've been there! ) Thanks for the great content and helping us get psyched for all our Vegas trips!
😂😂 This is awesome! Thank you for the kind words too! If we can help get you guys excited to go earlier, then that is a win! We hope y’all have a blast while there and win big! 🥂🎰🍀❤️
We Really wanted to get there and tier match at the Wynn but it just wasn’t in the cards. I always love your tips and reviews. You have made Carbone a must for us. It looked scrumptious. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers!
Hey, guys! Yes, try and snag a reservation at Carbone on your next visit..and sit at the bar! Totally worth it!
Love Carbone! Hard to get a reservation the last couple of trips. On a family meal we had there, one of my sons (wise guy) didn’t like the bottle of wine we ordered and complained about it. Our waiter sent for the wine expert who highly recommended a wine. My son said sure, not asking for the price. When I asked for the bill (mom, me, always pays!), the bottle of wine was $500!!!, more than the entire meal for seven people! (Luckily, two of my sons paid for it.) This has become a funny family story. Love Vegas!
😂😂😬 glad your sons helped pay for it! Those family vegas stories are priceless! ❤️
Omg I’m so excited!! I’ve kept thinking how I hope you guys have a Vegas trip soon. I love your vlogs so much!! You guys could vlog your day to day life and I’d watch every minute!!!
Lol! Thanks, Frank! We hope you enjoy this new series!
Wooo! Thanks for the Vegas fix! Lol. We were supposed to go in March, but had to reschedule to next month. We cannot wait!
Almost there! June will be here quick! ❤️
Another great video guys! My wife and I also love the bar dining experience. We usually do that at Crush in MGM Grand. Always a great dining option! Keep up the great work!!
Yea, this was the first ‘bar experience’ that we recall in Vegas! So much fun and the bartenders at Carbone were all fantastic! We’re going to have to check out Crush now!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 on your winnings today sonia love your haircut whenever I watch your Vegas video's i feel like im always with you being our tour guides sonia ❤t shirt of Texas food look yummy sending lots of support ❤❤❤ paw power and hugs have a fantastic weekend stay safe out there sonia happy mama day weekend early 😊 question did you ever met Vegas low roller or big jackpot aka scott ritcher
Hey, Michelle! Thanks for hanging with us on this adventure! We have not seen Vegas Low Roller or The Big Jackpot yet..maybe one day!!
Carbone has been on my list of places to try for soooo long. Hopefully I’ll be there in November, it looks incredible.
If you can snag a reservation definitely do it! And if you can sit at the bar..do that too! 🤞🏼
@@DaverrasonTravels happy to sit at the bar and just eat the charcuterie and drink red wine. Maybe we should try and go together in November
@huntingvegas sounds good!
Back at Cosmo! Beautiful! I head back to Vegas in 4 days. I hope our paths cross one day! Let's get a mimosa!
That's awesome, Alice! Hope you have a blast in Vegas! Yes, let's definitely get a mimosa in Vegas! 🥂
Yesss! Your video put me in a great mood this morning as I was getting ready to go to work. Wish I was over there though.
lol! That makes two of us! Hope you enjoy it and Happy Friday! 🥂🎰🍀
Loved how you mentioned that April and October are probably the best months weather wise to go. Well April is my hubby’s bday and October is mine 😊
Great video. Looks fun
Thank you! We’re ready to go back!!
Another great video guys. Heather and I are big fans. Good luck!! 🍀 🍀
Thanks you guys! We hope to win a big jackpot like y’all one day!! lol
That was amazing!!
Awesome vlog guys! Carbone looked awesome and that block of cheese could just sit on my table for dinner lol. Istanbul was another funny one, we've walked by it SO many times saying we should try it and never do so maybe next trip. Loved the strip cruise to tier match and makign sure you maximize all your Vegas options. Looking forward to the next one 😎
C&A!!! 🫶 yes, you guys have to try Instanbul - plenty of options and next time we’re getting the loaded fries! Our goal this short trip was to tier match and getting Wynn Platinum and FB hold was a highlight!
There will be a ton of us there the first week of November (Zorkfest) and we plan of using the F&B at FB then!
@@DaverrasonTravels we are gonna try it next trip and not walk by for the hundredth time. Also we are looking into a November trip and hoping that could line up with a tier multiplier and we would make it happen!
Awesome day 1! I just got back a couple weeks ago. There is a Walking Dead machine in The D downstairs to the right of the coffee shop. Enjoy!
Nice! We will have to check it out! Thanks ;)
1664 is a great beer I’m glad you got to try it! They also do a wheat beer called 1664 Blanc which I managed to find in some liquor stores and bars but yet to find it on tap outside of Europe! If you like wheat beer like Blue Moon or Mango Cart give it a try!! Also that French toast looks divine! I’ve gotta try it soon, maybe next trip!
Thank you for that! 1664 was definitely light and crisp - perfect for a hot day. We’re both fans of Blue Moon too, but haven’t tried Mango Cart. On it next trip!
The French Toast is divine! Always cooked to perfection and easily shareable!
@@DaverrasonTravels absolutely love Mango Cart! Also didn’t know you could get blue moons on the casino floor until I watched your videos! Yes it definitely looks shareable so it’s on my radar now!
Great Video. My husband and I watch both of you on you tube all the time. This time I noticed a swelling on the right side of your neck that you might want to have checked out. I had a swelling just like that and the Doctor tol me it was a cyst. He watched it for some time and it eventually got to be about 4.6 cm.. It wouldn't hurt to have it checked just in case it's serious. Thanks, Pat Romo
Thanks, Pat! I do have normal check-ups but will bring this up with my PCP on the next one. Can’t be too careful!
We appreciate y’all watching❤️
Hey guys, do good you were able to take advantage of the recent tier match promos, makes me so sad we live so far away as we're just missed out on all these offers. We are back in the fall but obviously we will miss out on matching offers. You guys had some good food, Chris loves a gyros but we haven't tried Istanbul Med yet and Carbone looked unreal 🤤🤤🤤 we love a good Italian so will definitely have to add it to our list. Thanks for bringing us along ❤
Hey C&J! You guys definitely make up for lost time on your adventures! There are a lot of options at Instanbul and we're dying to try the loaded fries..next time for sure! Carbone is our favorite Italian now and definitely a top 3 restaurant for us - it's worth the visit!
❤️We appreciate you guys hanging with us on this one! Cheers! 🎰🥂
@@DaverrasonTravels the name definitely make us wonder if they do any Turkish fayre so we will definitely be swinging by to check it out. That's a great recommendation for Carbone so thanks for bringing it to our attention. We look forward to watching the next one 😍😍
Another great video.
Thank you, Michael! ❤️
Yay new Vlog! Perfect timing! I leave for Vegas Sunday 😅
No way?!?! We hope you have a blast and win big! 🥂🎰🍀❤️
@@DaverrasonTravels thanks!! I always have a great time.. the big winnings tho… we’ll see 😅
Great video as always! We were just at Carbone! 🍷
It’s AMAZING isn’t it!
Just missed you guys as we left Aria on the 24th. 😟 We also did the tier matching at Wynn and returning on May 6th for the Caesar’s 5X tier credits. Can’t wait.
Nice! We need to start doing those Caesars multipliers!
We seen you guys last week i think Wednesday on the strip around the Flamingo maybe??... by the time I realized it was you guys you were past us a few feet and looked like you were on a mission..lol.. you weren't filming ...anyway keep up the good work !!! Love the videos!!
Lol! Yes, Wednesday we were on a missing to capture two vlogs...whew. Hope y'all had a blast on your trip! I am sure our paths will cross again in Vegas, but this time please stop us and say hi! 🥂🎰🍀
I agree, I absolutely LOVED Carbone! (and always love Sam Cooke) Too bad Nick wasnt bartending that night at Carbone, he's so awesome. Did you charge your meal back to Cosmo?
The bar experience was great! We follow Nick on social media and he looks like a blast too! We were able to charge dinner back to the Cosmo so that was a plus as well!
Yay! Another great video. Glad you were able to take advantage of the tier matching. Unfortunately, I won’t be there until July so I will just miss it 😢. Were you able to match to MGM gold?
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ Yes, we did do a tier match to Gold as well! Hoping to achieve it on our next trip!
Good for you two a little Vegas run to take care of degen business 👍✌️🤟🏼
Denise! Miss you! Always gotta get in the Degen!
You two must dine at the bar at Bavette’s … it’s our new thing - done it 4x now. 🥂
Yes!! I think we’re going to try to sit at the bar as often as possible! ❤️
Another AMAZINGGGG video! Loved it 🥰🥰
Question for you, how did you get the platinum at Caesars?
This tier matching stuff is so confusing and what all you need to even start the matching.
Hey, Brittany! So definitely get a players card at any players club desk in the casino and use that when you’re gambling.
For Caesars, we hit the second tier (Platinum) and used that to tier match at Wynn to their Platinum card and then took the Wynn Platinum to Fontainbleau to get Gold level.
I know…a lot of info… look at the Wynn and Fontainbleau website to get some more details for which cards work for tier watching and what benefits you get. In most cases, it is definitely worth it to tier match when casinos offer it. The amount of food and beverage credit you get is great value!
@@DaverrasonTravels thank you!!! :)
I’m surprised that bar tenders allowed you to sit without throwing them a $50.00 bill. Carbones is amazing but you can never get a reservation. Even if you book a party of two and your guest can’t make it, they won’t allow you to sit at a table by yourself. Last two experiences with the bar tenders, I don’t recommend sitting at the bar. Apparently, they allow their “locals” to occupy the seats that have the reserved sign in its place. Surprisingly, on a recent Las Vegas Knights game, the locals dressed one step better than the homeless, were allowed to sit at the bar, however, if you’re in a dress/pant suit with your guest in a blazer and shoes, they’ll tell you that you don’t meet their “dress” code. What a bunch of crap.
Wow! Our experience was great. We were promptly seated at the bar and taken care of. We did tip at the end, but didn’t have to front anything just to be seated.
Is the Cosmo officially part of MGM now? What I mean is like a full transformation.
No, not yet fully. But they sent an email that by the summer, identify will convert to MGM. So, looks like it is finally happening.
@@DaverrasonTravels ughhhhh I really like the cosmopolitan identity rewards. Thanks
Thank for this video,if you didnt tell me I could tier match to Wynn platinum and then go to Fontainebleau to get cold ,I would just use my MGM gold to get silver Fontainebleau. Thank you for that 😊
Yes, a couple more perks at FB when you tier match to Gold! Definitely worth it!
I hope you do. We will be in Vegas May 27, June 15th, and Aug 5th of ya'll are gonna be there, let me know. We would love to meet
We will be there the first week of June with some family and then in November with some friends! But you never know, we like to do quick surprise trips! 😆
I'm taking the wife there now , carbon looks delicious..
Enjoy!!
Love the vlogs!! When are you guys headed to Kickapoo???
Thank you, Jessica! ❤️ Nothing on the books for the summer…but you never know!
What dates in April was this, me and my husband have just got back from a trip and the whole holiday consisted of 'I wonder if we will see the people from DaverrasonTravels' (you are our favourite Vegas vloggers) and its killing us that you were potentially there the whole time 😅. Another great video 😍
Awe…thank you so much! ❤️it was a quick trip but we were there at the end of the month (24th - 27th). We were running all over the place to tier match and grab some content.
Hopefully we’ll cross paths in the future! Thank you again for the kind words! 🥂🎰🍀❤️
Yep we were there, left on the 26th haha. What's worse is the dinner option for the same day was Carbone or Din Tai Fung and we chose the latter (which was delicious tbf) We are from the UK so no other plans for 2024 but you never know 🤭. Hope you have a great time!
I really felt like I was there. Then it was over. Now I'm sad 😢
Lol! Awe…thank you, Jenny! ❤️❤️🥂🎰
What do you think of Bang Bar at Cosmo? We enjoyed the u-wraps and yuzu lemonade. Also, make sure the Wynn Players Club lady don't snatch your Platinum Card next year. 😄
Dang Rebecca!!! Lol! Bang Bar is bomb - everything we’ve tried has been 🔥🔥
I35 neighbors!!!!
Hopefully we can hook it up and take Vegas!!!! Hit me up guys!!
As time goes on MGM is ruining Cosmo. It used to be a premier property, but the last three trips I've had issues with facilities and service. The line at check in is ridiculous and I'm a platinum card holder.
Yeah, I am worried about how much more it will change. That’s one reason we have started really playing more at Venetian/Palazzo and Wynn/Encore.
How make Plat w/ the baby bets y'all ?
Baby bets are the only bets! Lol!
We have a higher tier with other resorts since we play there more. Wynn and FB are tier matching so we took our Caesars Plat to Wynn to tier match to their Plat, then to FB to tier match to Gold.
We play at a lot of properties while in Vegas so might as well take advantage of tier matching when there.
@@DaverrasonTravels Yes, cool I get it but how ever get PLAT Caesars to begin with w/ said babies ?
We use the Caesars credit card for purchases. It helps build tier credits.
What were the dates u were there?
We were there the 24th - 27th.
Cool....just missed u then. We left on the 23rd.
@TheKrisliv hope y’all had a blast! Slots were tighter this trip for us.
@DaverrasonTravels was an awesome trip.....slots were the same for us...as tight as a ducks backside haha . Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs
Have a guid yin 😁👌
Running around Tier matching is a waste of valuable Vegas time... If you didn't earn it you won't get the comps...
Not true! We talk about it on It’s Vegas Y’all - found on all major podcasts apps.
Take advantage when tier matching is offered!
@@DaverrasonTravels If you tier match to a certain level it might get you free parking or no resort fees maybe a free night or two. But real comps are going to be based on play and not tier status. Ask your casino host, I just asked 2 of mine and they both said the same thing.
@mrmotel9977 thanks! Just out of curiosity.. what would be considered a real comp?
@@DaverrasonTravels when you check out and nothing hits your credit card. LOL… 5 nights in a suite, picked up from the airport, free play, show tickets, and all meals covered. Believe it or not that isn’t hard to get if you focus your play with one company.
@mrmotel9977 lol! Yes, zero balance on your bill is the best!
We wanted to tier match for a couple reasons: 1) higher tier off the bat entices us to play more at a property. 2) some resorts have an aggressive match offer. Fontainebleau offers $150 F&B with their Gold players card (matching from Wynn Platinum). This makes us want to spend more time at the FB resort to build tier credits while having an amazing dinner. Between my wife and I thats $300 in F&B just for walking over to tier match. 3) Wynn offers 2 complimentary Masterclass session with Platinum for 2 people. Masterclasses range in price but we took advantage of that and got 4 tickets to a Masterclass that was ~$1000 complimentary. Between both there are other perks that are available to you IF you are there to maximize the value.
I agree, spending time building tier credits with one or two properties is probably ideal, and generally thats what we do, but when tier matching is offered (which isn’t often) we love to take advantage of it to get ‘some’ of the perks!
Yayyyy Your Back!!! So excited to watch the new series. Thank you!!
We hope you enjoy it! ❤️
