I like the way you do your restaurant reviews (show the atmosphere and food and then talk about the experience afterwards) I don’t think there’s a need in life for a blow by blow as you eat. You should get to enjoy your meal and the experience.
Thanks! Ruining the meal is the reason we don’t do more restaurant videos. This format isn’t too intrusive.
I second this. This is why I enjoy the class and knowledge from your channel.
The misses looks Fantastic
Nice reviews! Don's Prime looked great, different presentations than the usual. Komodo also looked very tasty. Glad you enjoyed both. Good to have more dining options on the Strip.
Great reviews! I just want to say I liked how your outfits matched the decor of both places lol
I completely appreciate you guys dressing appropriately for a night out. It’s so frustrating to go out to an elegant dinner only to find a restaurant filled with patrons that are completely underdressed. People have zero respect for such things and have no idea how to act like respectable adults.
haha I like how you guys were matching the restaurant's with the green and gold outfits. And yeah I hate when restaurants have bathroom attendants.
I am literally at Dons Prime as I type this. I have found that this place is amazing, but all the steaks are about $10 more each. Example, the 32OZ dry aged porterhouse is now $205.
Once again you guys hit it out of the park with your presentation. Can't wait to try the restaurants that were showcased in your video. Loved the outfits you guys wore while dinning. I always think a sports coat is the way to go for a nice dinner out. Ashden was beautiful as usual! Thank you for the video.
Thanks as always for watching!
Another winner review! Always appreciate you guys exploring Vegas for us. Going to Resorts World soon and will def stop at Fontainebleau - so curious to compare and contrast these two! Thanks again!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
im a vegas local and bathroom attendants are normal in night clubs and some concerts / dining events, I don't mind it an you don't need to tip unless you use their services.
Thanks!
Appreciate that, thanks so much for the Super Thanks!
I have never seen anyone take a breath mint or get a splash of cologne from the bathroom attendant. And I rarely see anyone tip them. They also hand out paper towels (in fancy places cloth towels), but I just take it without tipping like most people do. Steak places now charge around $80 to $90 for a good steak. That's already $160 to $180 just for the steak. Then appetizers, sides, (now bread isn't free), alcohol, water, and coffee is over $100. Tax is another $50 for a total of around $330 to $350 barring dessert. Now I try not to go to steakhouses, or I go to one that's a little more reasonably priced like Capital Grille at Fashion Show. But I'm sure that will change.
$250 for a dinner a fancy steakhouse? That's definitely a bargain. Lol! We had dinner at Carversteak which costs $400 and Wakuda which was $500. I had dinner at Komodo in Miami and it's very good, I'll check out the one at this place when I'm back in Vegas this spring.
@@davidhaber5304 Yes, I saw what I watched. If they ordered another entree, it'll be another $70 or $90 to their bill and it's still going to be a bargain. I don't care what you and your wife order, your marriage issue isn't my problem bud. Lol!
So nice to hear that you shared your meal…I thought this place might frown on sharing meals. Reservation at 6pm I hope it’s delish😋
What a gorgeous woman she is and she looks spectacular in the gold dress !
We stayed at Fontainebleau over Christmas and ate at two completely different restaurants, so it was really nice to see these two reviews. Don's Prime did look a little too classic steakhouse to me, so we didn't bother going, but I think I will definitely be giving it a shot on our next visit after seeing this. I'm not sure that I can say the same for Komodo though. Mainly because we had one of our most memorable meals ever at KYU. I highly recommend it next time you guys are there! They have phenomenal cocktails as well. And if anyone reading this is questioning whether Fontainebleau is worth it, IT IS 👍😊
You guys are the best !!! Thank You !!! NO RESTROOM ATTENDANT !!!! Lol
🙌🏻
Both places look pretty great, and I really like how you slowly showcase the menu in your vlogs. UGG to the overpriced bottled water as well as the bathroom attendant. Who carries cash on them anymore? Love the green jacket, by the way.
Thanks so much! We appreciate the view and the comments!
That jacket matching the crab cake sauce, nice😁
Food looks amazing! And love the outfits, I need to shop your closet, Ashden.
LOVE your videos, please keep them coming!!!! The bathroom “attendent” is utter boo-$hit but honestly I do tip on the 1st go around a little more than I should, I talk to them so they remember me & then I don’t tip again.
Thanks so much!
THanks guys cracking VLOG and really insightful. Can't believe they charged $11 for a bottle of water but the rest looks really nice.
Here in UK we only have bathroom attendants in Nightclub toilets and they charge a small fee for a spray of aftershave or perfume I still can't believe pay for this or that it's even a thing as every just accepts it's awkward and unecessary.
You both are great. Love following you. My happy place Las Vegas. Don’s Prime looks great. Hotel looks wonderful. Will be in Las Vegas next May 27 for two weeks. Looking forward to checking out the Fountaibleau.
Informative videos, thank you.
Thanks so much!
So Gorgeous 💫 No Bathroom Crap !
Thanks for the reviews! The Asian dishes were pretty to look at, and the steakhouse does warrant getting dressed up to go and enjoy. I think jackets should be required and men take off their hats.
Will check out on our next trip!!
Great review as always! Love your channel and Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Thanks for watching!
High Priest = Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Whiskey, Tempus Fugit Gran Classico, Byrrh Grand Quinquina, chocolate bitters
That's it! I think it was the chocolate bitters I didn't care for. Thanks for watching!
great review guys! keep up the good work
Going there in April thanks to your review!!
Hope you enjoy it, thanks for watching!
Wonderful video and loved ya'lls outfits!
Thank you so much!!
Thank You for sharing. They both look amazing... but a little steep. Also I hate the bathroom attendant thing. Keep up the good work.
One, in Europe it is more common to pay for either still or sparkling water. And two, even the casino bathrooms have someone taking care of the it. Of course they are not stationed there all the time, but if I encounter one, I like to tip them a dollar. Call it superstition, but maybe it will bring me luck by paying it forward.
🌸🌸🌸 You guys look great! xx🌸🌸🌸
Thank you so much 😀
Live the video. Especially the way you edit in the prices. As for the bathroom attendant, I agree with you. I hate when there is one. I don’t tip because I don’t use their services. I think it it’s weird they are there, but maybe that’s just me 😂
I don't NEED a bathroom attendant...but I don't mind if there is one. I always thank them and throw a few bucks their way. As always thoroughly enjoy your videos!
Thanks so much!
Great reviews!
NO to bathroom attendants…
I absolutely hate the bathroom attendant thing. I always feel obligated to tip and sometimes I don't have cash or ones, so it is very uncomfortable. Thanks for your reviews. We are going to Vegas in May and plan to eat at one of these restaurants..
First off, you guys look like million bucks!!! … the night at Komodo I was only 200 yards away from you at bizarre meats at the Sahara… would’ve been awesome to have met you guys!! Next time👍🏽… awesome awesome review as usual!! Both look delicious!… I’m 50-50 on bathroom attendants .. last experience I had with that was at the adult pool at Mandalay Bay.. the first time for the paper towel😂.i tipped ... but not the second time when I came back around.. I mean a buck, right?! For paper towel😂.. it’s definitely “awkward”.. Ashden, I agree .. thank you guys! Look for ward to next drop!!🍻🫡✌🏽Happy New Year!
I prefer no attendant , I can turn on my own faucet . If there is an attendant I always tip . At Blackstones Steakhouse in Melville NY they had the worlds best attendant . He was a very charismatic man who had a way about him that lifted your spirit # wulffdendad
Great video, as always. As for the bathroom attendant, I will pass on that. They seemed better dressed than the guests, lol.
Love your videos great information. You guys look great. Please 🙏 could you tell me where you got that fabulous gold dress. Hubby and I will be in L.V. for Valentines and will be at the Paris first time as you recomended and will visit the new hotels. Thank you
Is it dark in the restaurant? I’ve seen other reviews where it looks darker inside than what’s seen here. I like darker ambiences for restaurants
Such a great video!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!
@@davidhaber5304 keep going, you’re doing a great job of making yourself look like a fool in the comments…
Good lord Ashden! Not looking bad yourself Jordan! Though I totally get not liking to eat in front of a camera. That sounds like it'd make me (and you) wildly self conscious
Prices!🥶🥶🙀🙀
Love the bathroom stewards. Also, love the series!
Great Video
Appreciate it!
Hi guys - looking for vegas hotels in September.. do you think the prices will come down? 😅we maybe way too early looking
Love the videos 😊
It’s too early, but keep in mind if you book direct you can keep an eye on rates and call them if rates come down. Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegas thanks guys!!
Forgive me but I didn't catch your wife's name; just want to say she's extremely classy. Love the dinner attire. ❤🎉😊
Wow the prices 😢. Bathroom attendants is not my thing.
No attendant
Komodo is way too high priced compared to the steak house. No bathroom attendant please! Thanks a bunch for the food tour.
Have you eaten at Barrys Prime in Circa? If so, how would you say Don's compares?
Yes we have! Barry’s is outstanding! Don’s is a little more traditional but we did say in the video they remind us a little bit of each other. Our pick between the two would be Barry’s. Thanks for watching!
Definitely not a fan of restroom attendants. My first encounter with that was Chicago many years ago. Awkward !
By the way keep up the good work . I enjoy your team presentation !
Not filming yourselves eating the food, just showing the food and the restaurant and saying if it was any good. I hope this catches on! 😉
Side-note:
Current science suggests sparkling water is better for hydration. Oxygen requires co2 to penetrates the cells... or something. Just thought I'd throw that out there. ✌
$282. Chinese food? Lmao
I do not like a bathroom attendant, and I will not tip, I will be cordial and just walk out.
Don't like the attendants.
Paying for water 😒
I prefer reviews when the reviewer(s) spontaneously comment on the food while eating. Then give an overview after finishing. All you folks did was the latter. I'll pass on your future mini -reviews.
Fair enough. We're not a restaurant channel, we just decided to make this one because these restaurants were so new. Give our other content a try while you're here, and thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegas ok
Cologne isn't as bad as deodorant. What nimrod is going to spray his pits in a restaurant restroom!! Im sure the date was already ruined. I've seen it all in those places. Totally unnecessary and useless.
What a colossal waste of money.
To each his own. Thats high end dining in Vegas… Thanks for watching.
$22 for a caesar salad with no protein is all I need to know
Didn’t even record the restaurant:( poor video
Both restaurants are shown, including all the food. If by “didn’t even record the restaurant” you mean we didn’t show ourselves stuffing food into our faces, you’re right. Thanks so much for the feedback…
Why do American's mispronounce FONTainebleau by saying FOUNTAINbleau
Sorry Chief, the owners of Fontainebleau Miami Beach decided back in 1957 that this is how they wanted to pronounce it. People in France mispronounce English words too, believe it or not…
@@ShowMeVegas You know your argument makes absolutely no sense. Right? It's a French word why knowingly mispronounce it or speak the English translation. Blue Fountain. I don't care who decided what. You don't decide to mispronounce a word. It's named after the Palace Fontainbleau, in France. And they are spelling it in French. In that case they should change all their signage to say "Blue Fountain" LOL You can keep mispronouncing or Anglicizing the word all you like and I'll keep pronouncing it properly. Passez une bonne journee
In this case it’s not a word, it’s a brand. Names can be pronounced however the owner of the name damn well pleases. Sorry it triggers you so badly, but c’est la vie…
@@ShowMeVegas HAHAHAHA I'm hardly triggered by some UA-cam comments.
@@JMack1746 I didn’t say you were. I said you’re triggered by the fact that Fontainebleau decided how they wanted to pronounce their own name. Clearly you are or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Wow 🤩 you guys looked fantastic
Thank you 😋
Great reviews! As crazy as it sounds Don’s Prime was reasonably priced for Vegas and looked excellent. Thanks for the reviews
Komodo at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas is like the unicorn of restaurants - it's got magical food and service that'll make you feel like you're in a fantasy land! I have gone to restaurants up and down the strip, and I really enjoy this place. We have been there twice and both times the food is just so, so good. The fish is always amazing and the Peking duck is probably the best I’ve ever had. Their specialty cocktail is called the Pikachu, it served in a Pikachu mug. 
Our experience was ok, but we thought it was overpriced. Thanks for watching!
Excellent review. Dons seems like a spectacular place. 2 people for under $300 in steakhouse in Vegas is a steal. I don’t buy bottled water. Yes, very awkward for bathroom attendants
Don's Prime looks like a good choice for steak.
No to bathroom attendant unless you are old & need help 😄
Was it only like 2-3 years ago when a $19 cocktail considered outrageous? I'm I wrong?
Bathroom attendant is worst job I would ever want to have. I would accept skipping meals if I couldn't afford them rather than take that job. Komodo looks interesting.
Komodo- means you will leave hungry 😂🤣😆
Nice score on the wife… you’ll enjoy these videos when you are older. Nice couple.
If I have a few bucks to tip the bathroom attendant, it is not a big deal but it gets awkward if you don't have tip money.
Pass on the bathroom attendant. Don’s Prime looked great.
i don’t like bathroom attendant’s either 😅
Yeah i hate the bathroom person! When i walk in and see him i just roll my eyes! The worst when i come out to go to the sink he sitting there with a squirt soap bottle holding it expecting me to hold my hand out. I can do it myself. I agree on the bavettes comment. Steaks are amazing especially the 40 day age rib-eyes. The best steak i ever had. Sides were just ok. For fountainbleu if you end up going to papi steak next get the wagyu pastrami
Yes! It’s like, “can I get my hands wet first? You know, since that’s the way you’re supposed to wash your hands”.
3:10 Ashden is in the video so people may actually watch, lol
@@MB-rr1fb people are watching either way, but please continue to be a jealous jerk in the comments as often as you’d like. The engagement is good for the channel…
I don’t think there’s anybody on UA-cam that does a better job and showing what you get for dinner and how much it cost in the atmosphere of the restaurant great job guys
no to the bathroom attendant!!! i’m not going to pay someone to hand me a towel.
Or dispense the soap for you! Awkward!
I’m excited they now have a Komodo in Las Vegas. I went to the Miami location and it was delicious. I highly recommend the Peking duck. The skin is out of this world good. Their Miami location also had a bathroom attendant at that location and I can’t stand them. I wish they didn’t exist
That was a class act.. thank you for not gorging in front of us and giving a nice review of 2 awesome restaurants in whats becoming my FAV hotel....
thx for doing this guys i must say that suit suits you very well jordan bit of a don johnson in miami vice style you going for haha
Both restaurants looked great with amazing food. I was surprised at the cocktails, surely they need to improve those.
Got to agree on toilet attendants, get rid of them!! 🤬
The cocktail list at Don’s was pretty good but they didn’t have all the ingredients to make my first selection so that hurt score. Komodo’s cocktail list was small and underwhelming. Oh well. Thanks for watching!
very overpriced food tbh, all that food is just overrated and overprice and i dont care if its high end dinning
Okie dokie
No attendant in the restroom.
High-end restaurants' prices are unbelievably up the roof and customers are too polite to call it a rip-off.
