Tom Reeg, CEO at Caesars, has made so many cost cutting changes that it's not worth making Diamond anymore. MGM caters to us, though. I was surprised that you guys went to Lift Bar and paid versus going to Gem Bar. 😅 Congrats to your brother! I love those handys on minimum bet! It seriously looked like an amazing day. Enjoyed it as always, guys!
Wow... what a great day in Las Vegas. Like a few others that have commented, I also felt sad with the last walk through of the Mirage. Twenty years ago... I had my first $1,000 hit there. As for the Paris drink incident, I think it was the bartender. Most properties give you the first drink. Really enjoying your channel.
Thank you, Laurie❤️! It was great to read through some of the Mirage comments from others - definitely a lot of memories for a lot of people there! We agree, it had to have been the bartender. Almost always they immediately give you the first drink without question. Thanks so much for watching!
Any marketing team for restaurants or hotels or really anything that is in the service industry should be watching videos like this for ways to improve! I love people giving opinions and showing the experience.
@@DaverrasonTravels Not at all, I have watched many different travel channels and I watch a ton of Vagas videos. Im my opinion you both bring a calm and respectful energy. You both give good vibes. Keep it up till you don't enjoy doing it.
Hey, hey, hey! Another fantastic video. Congrats to you guys and Dave’s brother on your hand pays. So much fun watching your videos. Simply can’t wait for the next one!!! Thank you 😊

Hey guys, letting you know the algorithm is working for yous. I’m based in Scotland and my wife and I are doing Vegas for the first time in September. Thanks for all the food tips, we will definitely be checking them out.
Hey Andrew from Scotland! Thanks for checking out our channel! How exciting that you are going to Vegas for the first time! Hope you have an amazing trip! If yall have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us! 😉☺️🤘
You guys did have a busy day! But, it was also alot of fun watching you guys having big fun. Thanks again for bringing us along and sharing your trip with us.
So nice to see Britney make an appearance in this one 😏💁🏼♀️. Yeah you gotta stay away from those scam-bingo-pots, brutal machines! So nice to see a handpay on 75c, there is hope for us low rollers! I wish there was just a blanket rule across the various hotel groups around their comp drink policies on bar tops, a bit of transparency all round 👀👍🏼
We never learned our lesson with scam pots - even after you shared the RNG with 2c! Lol! You will see on the next one. 0.75¢ handpays definitely give us hope it’s still possible! Agree completely with transparency at bartops - Caesars seems to be the worst at it… Hope you’re doing well, Kevin!
Thanks ! Another great vlog - was laughing so hard about "slot math" thats a struggle for me too - especially after a few espresso martinis ! You continue to be my fav couple. 🤩
Love the content as always you two!!! Thanks for the “Vegas Fix From Home” lol 😂 We get back to LV in a few weeks (8/11) & CANT WAIT!!! Thanks again Dave & Sonya
Good Friday morning thanks for dropping your Friday vlog! A few good breakfast places @ Linq Maxis & Americano very good. Of course Beer Park is yummy & fun. We went to Gem bar when we were in Vegas July 5th & Frenchie was off But the other bartender whipped us up pistachio martinis, they were delicious & comped & friend had a handpay $1210...$10 over on keno. Keep the vlogs coming.
Thanks Christine! I’m glad to hear that you were able to get the pistachio martini comp’d when Frenchie wasn’t there! What an amazing hit on keno! Sounds like a great trip! 🥂🫶
Hi D&S - Nice B-fast. "Hasta la vista Mirage" - we've said our good byes. Nice to spend time with family. Caesars Entertainment has become too penny pinching - very "nickel and diming" for comp'd drinks. Curtis loves the beer-cheese pretzel (especially at Hoffbrau Haus). Andy & Simone are the best. Congrats on your brother's hand pay. Cheers!!😎 🍻
Hey, K&C! You're definitely right about Caesars! How is the Hoffbrau Haus overall? We've seen a couple vlogs about it and are curious to check it out one day! We love Andy and Simone - such an awesome couple! Hope you both are well!
We love Hoffbrau Haus, fun atmosphere, good German entertainment and pretty authentic Bavarian food. We’re doing well, hope all is well with all y’all.
I seriously have to try that Cleopatra machine at the Aria high limit! Next trip is Labor Day weekend - can't wait!! We enjoyed every moment of your vlog while drinking our crispy mimosas 😄
Liquid IV’s are a lifesaver in Vegas, bringing the Gatorade zero packets next month to give them a spin. So glad you talked about the complimentary drinks at the bar top machines, we have never played them and have always been curious, and we are MGM fans too, so will have to stop by a bar and give it a shot. The Beer Park pretzel 🤤 Great Friday watch, thank you!
A crispy mimosa sounds amazing right now 😂 I love scam pot games lol Awesome vlog as always! 🎉 the Mirage was the first resort I stayed at when I started my love for traveling to Vegas in 2021, still my favorite place to this day!
Yes, so many memories for us at The Mirage! She will definitely be missed! Enjoy that crispy mimosa - it is the weekend! Scam pots…we love to hate to love them 🙃🙃
Great day guys! You got to love those low bet handpays😀 I havent given Ceasers 10 cents in the last 2 years for the reasons you brought up especially the capped out amounts on their machines, seems odd and not sure why they do it. I dont miss playing in any of their properties lol Thanks for sharing!!
I actually got misty eyed with your farewell to The Mirage. So many memories at that property. Sorry to see it go. I once hit an $1800 handpay on a quarter bet at The Showboat in Atlantic City on a 10x machine while waiting for a table at The House of Blues. I was kicking myself for not hitting max bet.
❤️ Yes, we will miss The Mirage too! Hope HR keeps the coconut smell when they renovate it! We totally get the max bet thing! But At least you still got a handpay, that’s awesome!
When getting free drinks. I go to the bar where there is a video poker machine put $20 in hit max bet twice and get the free drink from the bartender. It’s better than waiting for a waitress who never comes by.
I used to be a Caesar’s fan around 2019. We stayed at 2 of there properties now they were in Louisiana. I told my wife we’ll never stay at one of there properties again and they were free. They’ve changed so much since eldarado bought them out.. Great vlog. How lucky have you been this trip!! Wow!!
Hey, Josh Ray! We’ve tried a couple CET hotels in Vegas and, starting with the check-in process, they’re almost all the same. We bottom tier platinum so if you’re a higher level I am sure it’s fine, but disappointed with a lot of the things they do. We saw you’re heading to Vegas soon?? That MGM deal sounds good. It’s a litlle further down the strip, but you’re close to other MGM props. Have a blast when you go and let is know your thoughts since its been a while since the last visit! 🥂🎰🍀🍀🤘🏼
I LOVE that he hit that on .75cents....I'm about to do that next week, starting to manifest this immediately after watching this 😂 Did the macaroons make it home?👀
My OCD was kicking in with that one beer left in your fridge in the container…. Thank goodness Sonia threw that box out 😂😂. Great Caveman win too 🤘🤘. Phenomenal video despite the Andy Goodspeed appearance 👀😂😂😂😂. Loved the Vdara outro …. We will be there in 10 days 🤘🤘🤘
10 days??? Man, to be that close to Vegas! Vdara has definitely grown on us - great access to multiple venues just a quick walk away. Gotta live the Goodspeeds❤️! Hope y’all have a blast man!
loved watching your videos keep up the good work. My husband and I just got back from Las vegas we stayed at the Venetian my husband played in the hight limit room the Huff and more Puff at $10.00 bet and got the mansion feature filled up the whole screen of mansions got a hand pay of $4,295.00. I have to upload the video to my youtube channel. Have a great weekend.
Comped drinks is one reason why we now prefer Fremont. MOST casinos there comp at the VP bars as long as you are playing. On the strip it depends on the casino, the bartenders, the lights, whatever. It is not a good guest experience IMO.
Awesome as always Dave and Sonia 🤩🥳🥳🥳 won’t be long and free drinks will be something of the past unfortunately. Here in Canada all Casinos are cheap - no free drinks depending on the Province. In BC you can get free pop or coffee 😂. Tomorrow I’m going “Bank Rolling “ at the slots ( at our local casino) to build my funds for Vegas. Congratulations on your Handpay BTW - cheers ! Chef Bari 😊
Hey, Chef! The reservation casino here in Texas is the same. Relatively decent price drinks, but not comped. Best of luck tomorrow! Make that bankroll for vegas!!! 🎰🍀🍀🥂🍸
37:26 So did they comp you the drinks at Gustoff's ? Over Memorial Day week we were waiting for our table at Amalfi ( Caesars) and went to the VP bar next door to Amalfi and my wife put in $100 and I put in $20. The bartender gave us 2 drinks ( hers was expensive off the bar menu, mine was a mich ultra ) and the bartender kept walking by mumbling something to me and I noticed my wife's glass had the comp receipt but mine was empty, finally he came out and said what I thought was I had to play more or he had to charge me. He most likely said I had to put in more $$. I had played for at least 20 minutes @ $1.25 a spin and finally he said I was all set and put the receipt in my glass. I thought it was a bit weird but didn't think anything of it until after the Abstinth show ( which is hysterical ) when we played VP again at the main Caesars bar near Check in. As we sat down at the bar the bartender said it was $40 in for a comp drink which explained my problem at the previous bar. Now we didn't see the $40 in at any other Caesars casinos the entire week ( We left June 1) but my guess is $40 in is going to be the new requirement for comp drinks ( maybe after a certain hour which would explain why you had no problems earlier that same day) while playing VP at CET casinos. It's not a big deal and I'll just put $40 in each time ( or a voucher of $40 plus) and cash out when I'm done playing but if this is a new policy they should have signs. Oddly enough when I put in $20 I play until I hit $50 or down to zero so now putting in $40 I may cash out before $20, I may save $$, lol Sadly this is all a result of people who just sit down order a drink and leave the bar.
Very well said! You may be on to something about $40. Just like you guys, we’re okay with $40 over $20 and might also consider cashing out if I get down to $20 too lol! My only beef with this is that is why they have the light systems. Based on your play at the bartop, the light system notifies the bartender that you now ‘qualify’ for a comped drink. The first one, within reason, should always be on the house because they want you to sit and play. After that, if you want another drink, the light turns green based on play. Maybe it was just the bartender or, like you mentioned, the time of day and they are more strict about comp drinks..? It’s just bizarre if you’re asking for a beer and still get pushback. I had a Blue Moon and you ordered an Ultra - I could be wrong but I would think simple beer orders wouldn’t come with the same expectations as a handcrafted cocktail from the menu. Vegas is always evolving and as long as people are willing to pay extra then the comps we’re used to getting from back in the day will disappear. This may be a sign of the times.. Great feedback though! Definitely got us thinking! 🥂🎰❤️🍀
When I played Keno at the Bar in Cromwell in February I hadn’t even done 3 pushes of $1 and I got a comped drink. And a contrail at that. So to not even comp you a beer after playing $20 is terrible. I’d be taking my money elsewhere for sure.
I think when a drink gets super popular, they may need to find ways to make them in batches to keep the service going. If they have a manager that is about speed and not so much quality. We are a society of fast services and unfortunately that may take away from the quality.
@@DaverrasonTravels I hope this mind set starts coming back, and humanity learns how to stop.and smell the 🌹. I feel we are too fast pace in our day to day life so vacations you should definitely relax. I hope you both take time for yourself and help humanity heal at the same time. BALANCE IS KEY.
Yes I love ceasars but Damm. I asked for a red bull they ask for my diamond card I ask for a shot of patron while playing they ask for my diamond card. When did that start.
Unfortunately we can't claim the win/loss statements anymore (as we don't itemize anymore) to offset wins so now have at least Federal taxes taken out of any wins.
Yeah not a fan of caesars properties either. They will only weekday comp. Their payouts are lower then MGM Properties. Under new management for awhile now, and they are really getting cheap. You have to play every 6 months to keep account points. I was active and they zeroed out my acct i had something like 200k in points. I complained and could prove i was at a caesars property playing in the right amount of time, but they still wouldnt put points back on my sccount. I know i was at the property because we had dinner at the steakhouse receipt to boot. But they didnt care. So now i will go for dinner maybe but not gamble much in caesars. Bachanal for dinner maybe, but gamble very low at any caesars property. Rather gamble at MGM property because comps are much better.
Oh man! 200k and they couldn’t do anything about it? We agree with grabbing a drink or eating at a restaurant on CET property, but government them limited play. Have you considered the North Strip? From Venetian to Fontainebleau that side of the strip has grown on us. Majority of play is still MGM, but we enjoy those properties on the North end! Gotta mix up the portfolio, right? Lol!
Tom Reeg, CEO at Caesars, has made so many cost cutting changes that it's not worth making Diamond anymore. MGM caters to us, though. I was surprised that you guys went to Lift Bar and paid versus going to Gem Bar. 😅 Congrats to your brother! I love those handys on minimum bet! It seriously looked like an amazing day.

It’s true! We should have went to gem bar but we are a mission to finish a slot challenge so we just bought the mimosas 😆

@@DaverrasonTravels I had to ask. So if you do self pay they prob wouldn't take taxes out
Yeah not a fan of caesars properties either. They will only weekday comp. Their payouts are lower then MGM Properties. Under new management for awhile now, and they are really getting cheap. You have to play every 6 months to keep account points. I was active and they zeroed out my acct i had something like 200k in points. I complained and could prove i was at a caesars property playing in the right amount of time, but they still wouldnt put points back on my sccount. I know i was at the property because we had dinner at the steakhouse receipt to boot. But they didnt care. So now i will go for dinner maybe but not gamble much in caesars. Bachanal for dinner maybe, but gamble very low at any caesars property. Rather gamble at MGM property because comps are much better.
Oh man! 200k and they couldn’t do anything about it? We agree with grabbing a drink or eating at a restaurant on CET property, but government them limited play.
Have you considered the North Strip? From Venetian to Fontainebleau that side of the strip has grown on us. Majority of play is still MGM, but we enjoy those properties on the North end! Gotta mix up the portfolio, right? Lol!
F Bumblebee. He called me fat and told me to go eat a salad 😡
What!?? No way!
Not exactly sure, it was one of the transformers. But yeah they said that 😮
