When I was a student at UNLV I worked in the showroom here (when it was the Las Vegas Hilton). Best job ever. They treated their employees very well. And as a starving college student, one of the best perks was the “Help’s Hall”. Basically a copy of the buffet with unlimited food. It was open 24 hours a day for the employees and they didn’t care if you were on or off duty. I took advantage of that fringe benefit all of the time.
Love the parts about Elvis. I never got to see him perform, but I'm from Memphis and he lived there too so sometimes I saw him driving around. His favorite barbecue restaurant was in the neighborhood where I grew up and sometimes late at night just before closing is when Elvis went to get food so neighbors would catch a glimpse of him. That was very exciting.
Thanks Doris! Glad you enjoyed the video That's amazing you got to see Elvis just driving around. Thank you for watching! Ever been to Westgate Las Vegas?
We loved our stay at the Westgate. I was baffled, at the time, as to why there were no crowds. Then I figured out how far we were from the strip. It's a way under rated resort. For the record, Barry Manilow did surpass the Elvis record and I got to see him in concert. What a guy!
Amazing!! I ❤ Elvis! Thank you for the tour of his suite, backstage, and the elevator he took to perform. So nostalgic and spiritual, I could feel his spirit with you . The restaurants look fantastic too . Your room was super sweet as well, loved it ALL!
@@TurnItUpWorld Hey Tanya and Dave, Happy Holidays!!🎄🎅🏼💗 I have never been to the Westgate, but I’ll have to check it out, thanks to your awesome vlog! Now THAT is the OG Vegas! So much history there, and that Tuscany Villa…oooh I’d love to stay there (but don’t think I’ll ever afford it lol). But, I wouldn’t mind the room you had there too. Definitely gonna check out those restaurants there though, Fresco looked good especially with the awesome singer! You two sang so beautifully together! 👏🏽❤️💯
We are coming out this Sept. to stay at the Westgate for Bender Jamboree and also GET MARRIED after being together almost 20 years!! wooooooooot woooooooooot! wahooooooooooooo! Going to be one heck of a honeymoon, nonstop music for 4 daze/nights!! Can't wait!
I remember visiting the Star Trek Experience exhibit way back when the place was the Hilton. That was Quark's Bar that you were standing. The Star Trek Exhibit was massive and immersive. Loved it! The Westgate Hotel is a great price and I like that monorail is so close by. Once you're done walking around the Strip, visiting the other casinos, the trip back to your hotel is just a short ride back on the monorail.
Years ago we used to stay at this hotel often, we loved it. We weren't lucky enough to see Elvis in concert in Vegas, saw him twice elsewhere but no one can beat Elvis for a great concert experience 😀
I've been staying at the Westgate starting in 1994 when it was the Las Vegas Hilton. I fly in 4-6 times a year and I still love it. Great relaxing environment, wonderful places to eat, awesome staff from Bell-Hop to my Casino Host. It's changed a lot over the past 4 years... but I'm glad it's still here.❤🎉
Thanks for this. You made my night. Heading to Vegas in February to celebrate Hubby and I’s 20th wedding anniversary. We are going to see Barry Manilow concert first night. Super excited. Funny when we were there last April it was Barry’s only week off so we missed him that time. Upper dupper excited. Hopefully we’ll run into you guys as well.
You're welcome. Happy Anniversary. Barry Manilow at Westgate Las Vegas puts on a great show. He still has it Thank you for watching. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for up-to-date content, Las Vegas tips, new merch, and more. www.turnitupworld.com/newsletter Thanks
Thanks for the tour. I'll be staying at the Westgate late next year. My Mom was a huge Elvis fan and growing up I also became a fan because the music was playing often. I wish I could tour the Elvis suite in memory of my Mom. That would be so awesome.
The Osmonds played there too. In fact Merrill Osmond played his last two US shows last year at Westgate as he prepared to retire. I am hoping to see Barry again this year. Love the Benihana restaurant onsite. So pretty.
This is an awesome video . You covered the Westgate Hotel perfectly. I have never been at the property before . I might consider going now . I almost forgot about the bed test j/k . I like how they call the rewards center WOW ! Loved the duet with the server Tanya . You definitely Turned It Up
@@TurnItUpWorld I honestly can’t choose a favorite, too many! I did walk down the aisle to Can’t Help Falling in Love at my wedding so that’s always at the top of my list 💙 gonna need to convince my husband a stay at Westgate will need to happen soon!
Great camera shot with Dave doing the Elvis pose. I stayed at Westgate summer 2022, and I liked the place. It's technically off-strip, but if you like watching sports or shows, it's a good resort. I would visit again.
Barry may hold the record but Elvis is still king 😉 Great video Tanya and Dave!! Westgate may not be the best hotel but with cheaper rates and direct access to the monorail, it’s a great option for some peeps! Tanya looked like a natural on that vespa 💜
Hi Dave and Tanya, thanks for the video. Elvis is my favorite and I am actually an Elvis Tribute Artist lol. It's about time to do another live right? Lol! Darealdeal
I've always wanted to stay at the Westgate for the same reason that Elvis use to preform and stayed there! Great video, I loved the tour of the resuratnts, room, pool and Elvis' Villa ❤️ you guys never disappoint
Favorite Vegas Icon, Sammy Davis jr, favorite Vegas performer that I was able to see live was Danny Gans, he was Amazing, he is missed. I saw Rodney Dangerfield also, and he was Great as well.
I got to perform Harry Belafonte's Jump in the Line on that stage during the Las Vegas Hilton employee talent show years ago with my friend who was dressed up like a hula dancing gorilla! Always thought a lowly cage cashier performing on the same stage as Elvis was kind of surreal but it was an experience I'll always remember. By the way, love your channel guys! Liked and Subscribed!
I worked there in the late 90s when it was the Las Vegas Hilton. I'd have to call my team on the house phone when I'd get lost. Got some amazing behind-the-scenes perspectives as an employee versus as a tourist- many moving parts. Favorite is Benihana's!
@@TurnItUpWorld have not, but I love getting to see the different hotels through your eyes and imagining where I might check out next time I go, so I appreciate these a lot ❤️❤️.
I love your channel guys. It’s been my go to for learning about Vegas. Question, is a reguskr eorosn able to get a tour of the Westgate theater? The backstage area that you went to? I love seen other people do the tour but I didn’t know if you had a have a you tube channel to be able to get in. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for everything .
Loved this video. I am a huge Elvis fan. I have seen a few shows there at the Westgate including Barry Manilow's show. It was awesome. I have stayed there just in a standard room. It was large and comfortable. I agree underrated hotel.
I stayed at the Westgate 3 1/2 years ago. There was good and bad. The entertainment - great! Barry Manilow sounding like he was still 25 and George Wallace, very funny. I got lucky and hit a $750 jackpot on my first hand of Video Poker so we went to Benihana and had a fabulous (although expensive) dinner. The room. Hummm....the room. We had a room that was about 5 doors down from the elevator so walking was not bad. But the room.....We had ghosts that continually opened the dresser drawers, a bathtub that had continuous running water and a hum that sounded like a roller coaster. We finally figured out the hum was actually the elevators............5 doors down! Maintenance came and tightened the water in the tub, but as soon as we used it, it was back constantly running. Another thing I found annoying was every time we got off the elevator we were accosted by a salesperson trying to shove a product in our face. Nothing we were interested in at all. I told them I would never stay there again, and I haven't.
Glad you guys made over to the Westgate!! I told you it was a "hidden gem". Why didn't you give us a shoutout tho by telling Micheal (Fresco) that Smif. & Laly sent ya... 😥 SHARE THE LOVE GUYS. 😉👌🏽 Lol 🤣🤣
What an absolutely horrible fate for the Star Trek Experience 😭 Although the footage of the Strip aged poorly, it was the most immersive and most professionally staffed attraction of its kind. I still miss it every time I visit Las Vegas.
It was announced today by the Clark County Commission that they are going to rename Karen Avenue which is directly behind the Westgate. The new name will be Liberace Avenue.

The Star Trek experience was probably the best "Dark" ride ever... All the human actors evolved to produce this was something out of the world...

@0:37 that's Michael Douglas playing Liberace
Yes. That's right. Thanks
You two always know where to get the best food. Love Tanya's singing before the meal. Yum yum want some 😋
Thank you!
Love Elvis!
As a CRAZY HUGE ELVIS fan this video was amazing!! I got chills watching the elevator and back stage part. Thank u so much for sharing this!!
Erin, you need to Tour both Elvis Tupelo Boyhood Home and Graceland. It’s unbelievable especially Graceland.
We so glad you enjoyed the video. We were very excited to share this with you. What's your favorite Elvis song?
@@boogitybear2283 I’ve been to Graceland, one of the best experiences I’ve had, will never forget it!!

SUPER SWEET!!!!
I get to see Barry perform on 12/2/2023 with my cousin. It's going to be a magical night! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Elvis, I still remember him. X
Hi Dave and Tanya, thanks for the video. Elvis is my favorite and I am actually an Elvis Tribute Artist lol. It's about time to do another live right? Lol!
Darealdeal
Hey Neil! Elvis rocks. Glad you enjoyed the video. It's about time for sure.
These two are a breath of fresh air or a sigh of relief. 😊
Thank you.
One of your best videos to date! I enjoy all your content. Keep up the great work!
Wow, thanks! 🙏

Thanks so much! Yes, it was very cool to be able to explore the places inside Westgate where Elvis had walked and performed!
I really love the tour of the former Elvis suite. Have you ever considered visiting his former Suite at the Astro world hotel in Houston?
Most definitely The King💖 I never got to see him live💔
Right on! We were very excited to share this experience with you. Thanks for watching.
Elvis is my favorite!!
Elvis rocks.

Love the nice little central sink in the kitchenette…I hate when I have to set up a place to rinse dishes in the bathroom. A dishwasher is a dream

The Wonder of You. But there are many others I really love. Especially the more rare songs.
Awesome video happy holidays turn it up world 🎄🎄🎄⛄️❤❤
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Great video
Thank you!
Elvis!
Dave is Elvis from now on.... Great vlog still one of the better adult traveling channels.
😂 Thank you!
I missed the bed test! What a cool resort and the room is a surprise!

you look so pretty today , love your hair...and that white blouse
Wow What A Fun Place To Eat At😊
I wanna walk in Elvis’ foot steps. ❤
Your life seems amazing
Get Singing 👏🏽
Glad you guys made over to the Westgate!! I told you it was a "hidden gem". Why didn't you give us a shoutout tho by telling Micheal (Fresco) that Smif. & Laly sent ya... 😥
SHARE THE LOVE GUYS. 😉👌🏽 Lol 🤣🤣
Someone needs to book the waiter on Broadway. Nice voice Tanya. 👌
Elvis would be my favorite. I really want to try the Westgate and go to Barry Manilow
Elvis is awesome. You definitely should. We think you'll enjoy the Westgate.
Wow! I love Barry Manilow.
I really enjoyed the segment on Elvis. Westgate is a nice hotel.
🙏 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. We really enjoyed sharing this experience with you.
Michael at Fresco is an amazing entertainer!
What an absolutely horrible fate for the Star Trek Experience 😭 Although the footage of the Strip aged poorly, it was the most immersive and most professionally staffed attraction of its kind. I still miss it every time I visit Las Vegas.
The Westgate is my favorite
So glad to hear that. Westgate is definitely a hidden gem.
That was not a photo of Liberace. It was Michael Douglas dressed like him.
Glad I wasn’t the only one to notice! 😂 Loved the. Idea otherwise!
It was announced today by the Clark County Commission that they are going to rename Karen Avenue which is directly behind the Westgate. The new name will be Liberace Avenue.
we need MAWR dancing doo-rags for the intro like this one!
The only entertainer I saw at the Westgate (Hilton) was Elvis back in 1972
Not a bad only one to see lol! How was the Elvis show?
@@TurnItUpWorld The dinner show was very good. He was on form both physically and vocally. I had a seat right next to the stage.
Can anyone do this tour of back stage where Elvis preformed? or was it just special access for you guys?
That’s a great question! Not sure!
You are the cutest couple
Contemplating this hotel for a quick last minute trip, price is too good to pass up
The King will always be the greatest performer Vegas ever had. I like the Westgate but it was the place to be back in the day.
Michael Douglas in that inserted photo not Liberace.The one on the wall is tho
Yes. That's right. Thanks!
this is their standard room? looks cozy
Don't believe it's the standard room. It was nice!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like the Westgate, except the elevators.
What Elvis achieved in 7 years took Barry Manilow 20 years to achieve
Why's it look so empty?
The Westgate was not empty at all, it was actually pretty busy when we were there!
Stayed there many times when it was The Las Vegas Hilton to see Engelbert Humperdinck....haaahaaa
nobody knows Manolo here, ELVIS OF COURS, number one in the world.
People go to the Westgate because of Elvis .. not Barry Manilow
Renovating where Elvis stayed seems like a total business mistake in my opinion.
The head on the statue of Elvis is not accurate and makes him look bloated, they could have made it more slim and long.
The Elvis personation was terrible when you said thank you very much good luck next time
It's 2022 by the way
Very nice
Thank you. Have you been to Westgate Las Vegas?
@@TurnItUpWorld no but i been to ballys & flamgo & one next to flamgo it a hilton & i stay at la quita on pardise rd it is pet frindly too
