- Опубліковано 8 сер 2024
- While a trip to Las Vegas can be a fun and enjoyable experience, I asked my followers about things that can make a vacation less enjoyable or experiences that can sour a fun moment. The responses ranged from crime and homelessness to street maintenance and more.

Jacob.. this is Aeric.. I met you the other night on your live feed with the stripper (Did you just call her that lmao 🤣).. anyway man.. I have an office I just bought in Vegas.. I will be moving out to Vegas soon.. I’m a creator also but I do it just for fun.. my family is in clothing and design. I will be doing my live stream sometime, we should meet during both live streams.. or we should hit the club or coffee or something. Talk to you later.. Aeric
I was robbed of my fun by the staff at TI literally stole 1000 dollars from our room while we were in the room. I’ve tried to get it back and been shut down. It was 100% this lady and we have proof but I live in Ireland and it’s impossible to get in contact. They are ignoring my emails now
Valid concerns Jacob brought up, IMHO:
Broken escalators, occasionally the crazy homeless people, quality of food on the strip has definitely gone down.
Which concerns seem like nonsense to me: No buffets (Good!), Taxi long haul ( Take buses or Uber/Lyft ), card handing out people ( Run into them on the sidwalk: nothing they can do about it if they are in your way.), driving congestion ( Do not drive in LV) , photo bombing people on the sidewalk ( I would not be taking pictures there anyways. )
Also every time I try to go swimming in the fountains, some you tube guy keeps yelling "hey get down from there...". Party pooper
🤣🤔😂
@Bucky Barnes - Ohhhhhh ... you are SOOOOO funny !! (Not!)
@@warriormanmaxx8991 Nobody cares about your opinion, Karen.
GFY
Hey it's Green Shirt Guy!!! LOLOL
Back home back in the day we used the cheap powered laundry soap. Now a days the kids just throw in a couple tide pods….I won’t do it now but wouldn’t mind seeing it😏
I've been coming to Vegas since 1995. My 3 biggest pet peeves since then are 1) change in gambling odds, 2) resort fees, 3) increased amount of vagrancy.
Yes, resort fees!!!
I'm sorry I couldn't help but laugh about the guy trying to go to swimming, I talk to my kids in the same tone of voice.
Vegas was so much better when the Mob ran it. The Mob realized to attract Tourists, keep the prices low and the quality high. Crimes was less because the Mob didn't play.

Stay away from Rhumbar at Mirage if you want to keep your good streak of customer service going. Rhumbar hostess sat us down and we waited 20min before someone asked us how we are. Not what we wanted to drink. but how we are. She disappeared for another 10min then asked us about drinks and took forever to bring our drinks. I worked in service. i know busy. yes it was busy. i also know she only had four tables to service while everyone else had their own tables. i watched her. she was just really slow. not going back even though another influencer said she loved Rhumbar. not me.
The mob never ran Vegas they influenced it
$2.99 Steak n egg days were the best!
Yeah it’s clear by my first time here in 20 years that everything is designed to maximize profits and take as much as your money as possible.
When the MGM owns countless hotels, they also own all the food prices and a $6 bottle of water at one hotel is also $6 at the other hotel. Comes across as price fixing. And the convenience store at Mandalay Bay didn’t even post any prices, which codes across as dishonest.
I admire your honesty in dealing with the real issues in Vegas. I think the problem will always be the very nature of Vegas itself, from drinking to gambling - they are all vices that many people simply let get out of control. It's like trying to enjoy a walk in the forest with everyone playing with fire to some degree, you hope no one burns the forest down but most likely someone is always trying.
My last trip to vegas was in 97, went with a friend and his dad (we were 15) his dad lost everything and even pawned the car we drove there..lol.. we went from ballin & cruisin to broke & homeless in less than a week.. his grandma drove like 11 hrs to give us a ride home.. never did see his dads car again🤭
Aww no lol!
That's actually really sad dude
😭😂🙄🤣 dang you only hear and see that in movies. I hope he stopped gambling.
You are completely right when you say triple 0 roulette is a RIP OFF.
yeah I'd stay away from a triple-zero roulette wheel like its an Ebola ward.
Double 0 is a rip off too, you seem like already got used to being ripped off.
There are rip-off versions of every game and they keep coming up with worse rip-off versions.
@@sexygeek8996 6:5 blackjack is another great example of an obvious rip-off like 000 roulette.
I have lived in Vegas for almost all of my life, and most everything is pretty true. The craziness seeps out of the strip a little bit.
You yelling at that guy trying to jump in the water, made my f****** day
🤣
I miss the old Vegas. I used to get comped suites, meals, show tickets, and all kinds of other stuff. Once the Corporations bought out the Mob, Vegas went downhill. When they made it family friendly also killed the cool vibe it had. You used to be able to get these coupon books that had decent coupns for free chips, match play, and casinos used to cash paychecks for free. I can remember if I had to pay for breakfast it was like 99 cents or some other low price. Now they nickle and dime you for everything and act like they are doing you a favor if they give you a Tee shirt. I also remember penny slots... cheap way to kill time.
I brought 4 or 5 people with me to the PBR world finals in Vegas for 21 years in a row. I paid for all. I used to love it. Then came the resort fees. Then the parking fees. Then the buffet prices went through the roof. Then the minimums for table game went sky high. This was all before Covid. The final staw was the PBR finals left for Texas. Thank GOD. I'll never set foot in that rip off town again.
I had a wonderful casino host when I used to go to Primm. The first I knew of him he actually called me in my room and wanted to know why I never asked for any comps. I told him I didn't know I could. He then had me and my 3 friends relocated to a suite, gave me (and friends) free food at their fine dining restaurant, free booze, and so on. Every time I went after that I was given a suite and fabulous food. It made me feel really special. I miss those days. The comps are horrible now.
Sounds like Primm took care of you very well back in the day Sherrell!
@@JacobslifeinVegas they did for sure. And I literally never lost there.
Primm? Going to Vegas but stuck at primm n that's your whole vacation. That's not a comp, that's a trap for you.
In the 70’s for $20 dollars a person I could fly round trip from Orange County. Private bus round trip to the Sands Hotel. Free lunch at the cafe.. All you had to do was play $5 blackjack for 4 hours out of the 8 hours you were there. Did that many times and at Christmas time the Sands gave me $50 in chips, without me asking. I was not a high roller. I took about $400 to gamble with. And if you brought 10 people with you your trip was free. This deal was advertised in the newspaper for anyone to sign up for. Also the casino host would meet you at the Orange County airport and fly with you and always be around to help you. You could even leave the Sands for 4 hours if you did your 4 hours of playing $5 a hand blackjack. They put a little number on your shirt so the pit boss could keep track of you. It was as fun as It sounds.
Yes, that homeless problem is real. I stayed at the Hilton next to Resort World on the LV Blvd and as I was pulling into the parking lot, a homeless looking guy dropped his pants and took a dump not more than 10 feet in front of us. Instead of parking, I drove to let the parking guard know what just happened and he immediately got on the radio. Wow, what an eye opener.
Where's Oceans 11 when you need them? My Grandma (rip) said Las Vegas was better and more classy when the Mob ran it. In fact lot of people's grandparents say that.
My parents say that as well. And I totally believe it. I think society in general has deteriorated.
I remember it as a small child in the 70s. It wasn’t meant for kids, but it wasn’t awful for families. I think you’d need to be out of your mind to take a family to Vegas now-or anytime in the last 30 years.
6 to 5 blackjack payout should be a crime!
I have to agree with Jacob on the rude employees, there are a lot of people out there who save all year long just to go to Vegas for 1 or 2 weeks tops so I can't imagine how disappointing this kind of situation must be.
Luckily, as a Canadian I've always had really good luck meeting good Americans whenever I travel down south matter fact, I find the American people to be generally a lot nicer then us Canadians especially in the Southern states lol
@TJ Wolf - re: "lol" = What is so funny about your statement? Do you write "lots of laughs" at the end of every social media comment?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 Hi, Karen.
GFY
But the media would have you believe that the south is just a bunch of inbred, mouth breathing bigots.
UA-cam Teezy T Pandemic Struggling. Song says it all. Real music
Americans aren’t rude we just aren’t agreeable. We do our own thing
I'm waiting for them to charge a use fee to use the bathroom in casinos.
Cleaning fee.
Environmental disposal fee for the water used to flush the toilets.
Attendant fee for when you don't tip the attendant.
Plans fee for hiring a designer for remodelling.
And remodelling fee for converting buffets to bathrooms.
If they start charging fees for the bathrooms, people won't use them: they'll just piss and shit on the floor.
@@sexygeek8996 They’ll add it to you hotel, restaurant, bar & cabana bill.
Another outstanding video. I miss the days of comps. Now it seems every casino wants you to get their players card and you need to accumulate points. I am a "Boomer" turning 21 in the 80's. I can remember playing craps and blackjack getting comped with meals quite often and they really pushed the drinks. Vegas has changed over the years, so have I. Jacob, on one of your upcoming videos on things to do in Vegas, show us the inside of that "Hall of Fame Pinball." I think I read that the owner donates profits to Vegas charities. Keep up the good work!
Pinball hall of fame is LEGIT
You still get meals comped. It's just digitized now. We get comped all the time. We get a room, food, and a show comped every trip. We just pay for the flight. I buy in for $500-1,000 per session on tables and bet $5-10 a spin on slots.
@@steveh5307 What a badass high roller
@@shawnpugh6052 yeah! tim is awesome!
When corporate bean counters took over from the mob, it went in the shitter. especially when they started charging to park. Its like they don't want you there!
I think part of the problem is that people come to LV expecting a Disney World resort, and it's not - it's a working city with all of the problems all cities have. As someone who has spent a fair bit of time in New York City as a tourist, I would say that the tourist experience in LV is better than NYC
Interesting perspective Hg. Thank you for sharing!
AFAIK, NYC and any major California cities are the lowest bar to compare to.
Yeah I enjoy the grit. Traveling is not supposed to be safe lol just stay home if you hate cities
Beyond the fees for me it is 6 to 5 Blackjack and the homeless that suck the fun out of Vegas. There were always homeless in the Downtown area, it was expected, but now it is everywhere. People passed out in front of the Bellagio fountain is not a good look, Vegas looks more like San Francisco every day.
As someone who's always been a high tipper from the moment I arrive, it's still appalling that the attitude of so many staff in Vegas is that they are doing you a favor by showing up for work. DO NOT EXPECT CUSTOMER SERVICE IN VEGAS unless you are ready to TIP BEFORE anything is done for you. Very few have listening or communication skills. The theme of Vegas is: "we don't care, we're here to rip you off in any way possible, now get T.F. out".
🤣
Sounds like you had a very bad confrontation in LV. Next time bring stacks of $1 bills and feign a big tipper !
I have ran into a few rude staff but mainly in the eateries of hotels.
@@Mdmc9738 Nah, that poster is right. I tip nonstop, but before you get a chance to tip you often get attitude right off the bar. In Vegas or anywhere, cynical bitter service industry folks create self-fulfilling prophecies
Facts!!! Just the fact I'm a 7 star at Caesars every time u show the card people expect tips for anything and everything
This was very informative from the customers perspective. I'm actually going to move to Las Vegas at the end of this year and work as a Casino Host for me the customer experience is the highest priority along with amenities. Well done. Look forward to future uploads.
You there now? How is it going?
Yeah pretty sure it looks okay but
My family and I want to move somewhere near Las Vegas. I’d love an update on how you’re liking it there as well as how working there is.
Lmao! “Hey No swimming!”
🤣
That was funny though. Lol
@@JacobslifeinVegas not all heroes wear capes and one of them is named Jacob.
@@steveh5307 No, bs tho. (That was pretty cool and funny).
The best thing about it, is that you get the feeling this was not the first time he's had to do that lol.
Jacob, your videos are getting ever-better! I get lots of enjoyment reviewing the sentiments a professional blogger like you have about the high-roller city without digging a hole for yourself. This town continues to define itself.Our experiences can be unique ones, and mine is no exception, but I could only give high marks for making each of my trips memorable and enjoyable ones! Will I be back; most likely! Have I seen or heard things I'd rather not repeat? Most definitely, but there are only a few incidents, and not serious flaws that changes my opinion, either. The good outweighs the bad!
I experienced rude employees a few times on my last trip to Vegas. This just blew me away considering so many have their hand out expecting tips. Be rude to me, I def won't tip you. Its almost hilarious.
The locals yelling at you because you are not playing hands the way they want. Just a great time.
You're right about crime especially in North Las Vegas. At night, a walk through naked city feels more eerie than East Oakland.
I totally agree about finding a Lyft pick up spot, when I was at the New York New York back in January, I had to walk all the way in the hotel/casino and it took a while to find it.
It ruins my fun in Vegas when someone screams dont go swimming at me.
I had a homeless guy follow me while I going for my morning walk on Fremont and when I confronted him he threatened to shoot me. As far as I could tell, he didn't have a gun on him but I know if I had punched him, the bleeding hearts would have accused me of being the bully for picking on this "poor homeless person."
You should have punched him! If the 'bleeding hearts' care so much about mental health, perhaps they should consider locking these people up into an institution they can get help. I'm no saying bring back the 1950's mental asylums, but a modern version of some kind of institution. People shouldn't feel this unsafe going about their business.
@@missd2657 You can thank Ronald Reagan and his administration for cutting off funding for state mental health hospitals, effectively shutting them down. What we see now is the legacy of that horrible decision 40 years later.
@@scottjohnson5415 That's BS. You cannot FORCE someone to go to a mental institution or a drug rehab. You could have institutions like these on EVERY block but no one can be forced to go. These people are where they are because they choose to be there. I got no pity.
@@scottjohnson5415 LOL try again Scott.
This happened to me in D.C. but the guy didnt know I do executive protection and had my D.C. concealed carry license. I flashed my peice and he immediately started going the other way.
100% agree with you on the triple 0 roulette and 6to5 blackjack absolutely ridiculous how greedy the casinos are getting and also since the pandemic table minimums have gone up a lot even in slow hours
6 to 5 blackjack on specialty tables like blackjack switch or free bet I understand, but on a standard table blackjack payout should never be 6 to 5.
I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago. Not only were the homeless numerous, they were as aggressive as I have ever encountered. In four days, we had half a dozen encounters but two were significant. Walking mid strip about 6-8 black guys basically cornered the myself and two buddies. They claimed to be rappers and wanted to give us some sort of mini CD. Then they said they work “for tips” and basically demanded money. It was tense and they were WAY inside of our personal space at this point. My buddy gave them $20 to appease the animals, but it was a mugging sans the weapons ( which I am sure they had.). The second was on Fremont street while we were watching a band on the stage near D hotel. A homeless black guy wondered next to us at the front near the stage, turned his back to us and slowly backed into me. I nudged him with my shoulder to let him know he was in my personal space and he turned looking upset. I told him he bumped into me and the blank glassy eyed stare back told me everything. He was either on drugs and/ or a mental case. Anyhow, he started to approach me two more times and each time I pushed him in the chest and told him to get back. Finally one of my buddies noticed and basically got in between us and the homeless guy eventually wondered away. What made me most uncomfortable was not the prospects of a fight since he probably weighed 120 lbs and was malnourished, but he constantly was fidgeting in his jacket pockets. Could have easily taken out out a weapon which would have changed everything obviously. Beware when you visit Vegas ppl.
dude...the f;in shines who are 'struggling rappers'. ....just awful. I will never return and your story gave me PTSD....BTW I didn't part with my $10 even under gangsta pressure...BLM???? nope, not in this case
lol I voluntarily gave 15 dollars to random homeless people. They didn’t approach me though I went up to them haha
That's what liberals call "cultural enrichment"
carry a handful of change and toss it, see if they chase
That first guys arrest record is equivalent to getting arrested once a week every week for the last SIX AND A HALF YEARS.
Don't vote blue but support the blue
I wonder why euthanasia is not considered at his point.
Lifeguard Jacob: HEY! NO SWIMMING! 😂
Really informative vlog Jacob. I agree 100% with all of them.
Also, too many Casino's have permanently closed poker rooms which has definitely made for less choice. If you are a poker player, it's really disappointing. You mentioned less Buffets - the affordable ones closed down leaving the very expensive Buffets open. I'm hoping more attention is being spent on Hotel room cleanliness which had gone right down the drain as housekeeping staff got laid off, quit, left Vegas. The examples of dirty rooms and grossness was captured by several You Tuber's I watch and it was something I'd never seen in Vegas over the past 20 years I've been going. Disgusting!
Nice! My wife has a nail polish convention there this weekend and I'm not really a Vegas guy, but I am a pinball junkie and can't wait to get to the pinball hall of fame! We've probably watched a dozen "fun things to do in Vegas" and none mentioned it man thanks!!
Glad to hear it Luke! The place is pretty cool, and you can easily spend hours in there for very cheap. Enjoy the trip!
I was there for the regrand opening on the Vegas strip, pinball finally arrived! Enjoy
@@JacobslifeinVegas the money goes to charity and he still has the 1 buck popcorn machine I believe
Jacobz. Efficient, personal knowledge, great watcher interaction and respect. Enjoyable Thank you Wian
Was at pinball hof in October for the first time. Awesome place.
The reason for ugly casino carpet is not only to repel the eyes of the player and put them back onto the machines etc., but to hide the myriad stains that naturally happen over time. I have a friend who described the typical casino carpet design as "pizza vomit." LOL
Spot on info. Moved here from the east coast first time from 2009-2011 and then permanently from 2017 when my daughter got hired as a 911 operator at LVMPD. Big shift in crime, living expenses, road conditions and accidents, amount of people and vehicles, fees, panhandling, scams, drug usage.
must be an exciting job
I really do like you content, just found you and going to be binge watching even more to learn as much as I can on Las Vegas and see if this is still where I want to take my daughter. Thank you for the honest reviews/information/advice/tips/warnings!
Ignore the homeless folk or anyone annoying or Sus. You’re not required to give them money or use their services.
Exactly, I have no problem ignoring lowlife degenerates. I would not give them money if their lives depended on it. I don't even acknowledge their existence.
Fantastic video Jacob, I definitely noticed a bunch of these when I was there last time.
Thank you Zach!
With the escalators the biggest problem is the desert sand blown in them constantly by the wind. They run 24/7 in a non-climate controlled environment. Compare this to the typical escalator that is inside. That said did not realize that sometimes 50% are out of service. That is sad.
Yea I noticed the homelessness was horrible last Sept when we flew in. So sad.
As a guy that owns a power wash company, not in Vegas but love to travel to Vegas. Love that you gave the washers praise haha it is dirty but no way to keep up , no one would pay the $ to have it clean every night 😂✌🏼
It's not a glamorous job, but it has to be done, and is very important
Hey Jacob, great video. Coming out next month to stay at NYNY for a few days. Can’t wait to visit!
Thanks Mitch! Good timing on the vacation here. Enjoy the trip!
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
I just wanted to thank you for your good insight and informative videos! Have seen so many over time. Helps me with some good ideas you have when I come from Kelowna Canada. I will copy and paste to a few vids of yours that I watched just tonight. 3 in fact! Thanks, Nol, Canada. Nov 17th. Be safe!
Your videos are worth viewing over and over!
Hi Jacob,
Excellent video!
Thank you for all the hard work you do to help people to have a safe trip in Las Vegas …
JimmyUSAF 🇺🇸✈️🙏⭐️👍
A comment on the food thing.... Last visit, we noticed that there are few "in-between" restaurants/eateries. They were either very expensive, or burger joints.
But.... I finally got to try an IN-AND-OUT burger. And it was everything it was bragged about!
P.S. Jacob, could you do an update on the water levels in lake mead, and the repercussion of shutting down hoover dam turbines and drinking water?
Originally, shows, restaurants, and other attractions were loss leaders. They attracted the crowds, many of whom would then gamble. But since Vegas went "family" in the late 1980s, they moved to a structure where each venue at the casino must be profitable. So, you don't get to have a great bargain at the buffet in order to get you to gamble.
Going to Vegas--with crummy gambling, expensive attractions and restaurants, resort fees, parking fees, and all the rest--is like getting pecked to death by a pack of ducks.
Spot on
The city feels like it has more tension than ever to me. I've been coming for 15+ years and the homelessness feels like it's a feverpitch. I mean you can't go to a restaurant at a strip mall or go to walgreens without being approached by multiple homeless people from multiple angles.
I really enjoy your videos. I think they’re done with great taste. Great facts great information. Keep up the good work.
Yes you hit the big one for me! We come once maybe twice a year and we save our money our hard earned money to come and relax and enjoy a well deserved vacation. And all the items you talk about have been getting worse! Much worse to the point not wanting to come once a year. :(
Then dont come... its a ton off other places that Are more fun than las Vegas
Love your tips on scams and hassles. Helpful as.
Great video. I totally agree with a lot of them. Keep up the good work. Excellent video and topic. Karen
Lol
Thanks Jacob for producing a video that makes the case for visiting Reno/Tahoe instead.
Love your vidz man thx for all the info you provided I’m moving to Vegas this December
Seriously, good video, thanks for making them
Good job. There's no excuse for the crime. They need more undercover, anti-crime units to curtail bad behavior. Judges need to be held accountable for releasing animals back into the public as well.
They only do prostitution undercover
Too many Californians moving to Las Vegas voting in CA style politicians and DAs. Soft on crime.
Signed, a Californian.
Jacob, love your videos.....just watched your video on the 18 things that rob you of your fun........the first thing you said was crime........but you didn't give any advice on how to keep yourself safe. Great videos Jacob
Hey Stevens! I've done a video on the subject before, but I have more coming in the future.
Green👕Shirt Dude! I was at that Livestream. Good Times Jacob! Thanks for this great video. Have a super Sunday.
You're welcome V to C! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
@@JacobslifeinVegas Thank You😁
Last time i was in Vegas, we had a bit of a night out. Went bar hopping from Mandalay Bay and back to Cosmo. Near MGM Grand i was standing outside waiting for my friends, and some guy comes over to me and offer me a whole menu of drugs. I said no thank you, and he was fine with that. Then we just started talking. He was a very nice and polite guy. Moved down from washington because he was tired of cold weather. :p
Sounds like he was quite the chatty drug dealer 🤔
Typical Police always want you to think dealers are violent.
@@Fastgt2003 hollywood too :)
Great video Jacob ! For us it's walking along the strip and some has thrown up... pretty nasty.
This list is so true from my recent trip a few weeks ago it is crazy
when i was a kid there was cops in yellow shirts and on bikes everywhere on the strip now i barely see them it sucks cause as a solo male traveler i deff feel unsafe alot more then i used to in vegas
I followed your tips last time I went to Vegas and they helped me out so much! I'm watching more vids for my upcoming trip in June.
Glad to hear it Alfonzo! Enjoy the trip in June!
Cool! I’m going back in June as well!
How was your latest trip?
RESORT FEES, RESORT FEES, RESORT FEES...STOP THIS SCAM...
Coming to Vegas next week. I've always enjoyed your videos and always learn so much.
Great video Jacob 👍 really good advice as always.
Thanks UA!
You need to do a shout out to the Neon Museum. Last time we went to Vegas we went there, at night, no less, it was an incredible, inexpensive thing to do.
I’ve mentioned this before on your UA-cam channel, I’ve been to Vegas 50 times since 1979. I’ve concluded it is done.
I've been to Vegas twice. This list is pretty accurate but as far as casino employees being rude, I get it. I worked in the casinos in Atlantic City and some of the attitudes from the visitors can wear you down mentally. You can always tell a long time casino employee by the far away look in their eyes. I've stayed at the Silverton and Treasure Island. The employees I interacted with at both properties were very friendly and helpful. Even the bellman at TI told us about the daily bus pass. Easier to get up and down the strip and much cheaper than a cab.
Went to UNLV in the 90s, it was so fun back in those days.
Keep them coming...nice nuggets..👍👍👍!!!!
Thanks! Will do!
I’ve been coming to Vegas for over 30 years. I can’t remember ever experiencing a rude employee. I treat people with kindness and respect which I think is why an employee hasn’t been ‘rude’ to me. Karens will complain that everyone is ‘rude’ to them.. no coincidence there..
Go to New York New York. Guarantee you’ll have a handful.
I very much agree. I'm interested to see what Vegas is like. I work in hospitality in the mid west and have for 8 years. People (customers) have gotten extremely rude and demanding and entitled. If you are calm and patient and don't blame employees for things out of their control, I bet you'll get better service.
San Diego Ca. complains a lot about the Homeless. It was 10 times worst in Las Vegas.
The table minimum limits were to high. $25 to $50 for 7 deck Blackjack.
I got "Long Hauled" once, as we rolled up to the Casino, I called over the Head Casino outside and told him what happened, He said that should have been a $20 ride, he would take care of it and did.
Las Vegas is a lot more dirty then it use to be.
I actually went to Vegas for a couple night in July of 2020, right as things were beginnging to partially reopen. The staff everywhere I went were fantastic!
Hola Jacob, saludos, another great video, love your videos lot of information, gracias Jacob I hope you’re doing well!!
Hola Anastacio! Todo bien señor 😀
My first time in Vegas, was in 2014, and in 2017 I moved to Vegas, from Milwaukee, WI. The three biggest problems I have with the strip are :
Homeless people
Scammers - especially the ones that stops and tries to throw a CD / DVD in front of your face.
Litter Bugs - Pick up your trash
Sin City local slang for tourists ..., 'suckers'!!
Much better thumbnail 😛
You yelling at the dude was pretty funny not gunna lie good on you👍
Vegas was definitely way better in the 80’s and 90’s.
Used to frequent the strip back in the day but the price the parking and the rude behavior keeps me away anymore.
Since we have a house there now when we do go gambling or even stay at one of the hotels it’s almost always at one of the locals places like Red Rock The Stations Rampart etc or downtown. Even though downtown is getting beyond dirty and nasty. Way more than it used to be.
I like this channel. Good job
Hey! No swimming! You’re a hero, friend. Keep on keepin on
Thanks for the video! I would have to say (almost applies to all locations) are the crazy concession and VCF fees charged for rental cars at BOTH LAS and hotel locations.
Can you get your room and call the local Enterprise to pick you up to avoid the fees?
Lol no. No where in the usa anymore. Car rentals R $400 A day now. Lack of new cars to use as rentals.
I was in Vegas for the first time for 5 days and I can certainly agree with a a few of these. Food is really expensive and hotels being really greedy. Stayed Caesers palace got complementary late check out no problem,Flamingo and Harrahs nope but certainly offered to pay for late check out. Also the homeless are every where especially in strip Hotspots and on the bridge crosswalks. Now let's talk about the card handers mannnn I ended up with a whole deck by the end of my stay 😂
that was 3 days too many lol
The smell of weed was my favorite part of the vacation. I could literally smell it from my room in mgm all the way to Fremont. I hate the tobacco smoke however.
Hahaha I'm the same. Love it
The smell of weed is a wonderful thing.
@@banhammer3904 I'm allergic to tobacco lol
You know I live here. And I interact with a lot of people on the strip. Most people have a good time. You can take any city and said the exact same thing.
Just got back from Vegas it was pretty dead, dirty, and too many beggars. Staff in most places were pretty rude. Bus drivers, security, staff... everyone seemed be in a bad mood.
Cost of food and beverages has become a very serious problem in casinos everywhere ... the quality and portion sizes has plummeted so dramatically it has fundamentally changed the LV experience
We're visiting to enjoy the place? They (have to be) there. The workers don't know you get more with a Smile than a Growl !
This perfectly summed up my last trip to Vegas. We are (or were) considering celebrating my 40th birthday in Las Vegas.. but after my last trip, i don't know if we will. It's too expensive, too crooked, and too many people trying to hustle you.
Another very good video Jacob. I agree it is becoming more difficult to get comps. And...if you do get one, you end up having to spend first to receive it. But the one that takes the cake is, where hotels are charging for cleaning rooms. It should be free....the resort fee should be part of that care.
Oh wow. What hotel is this so I can as n avoid it
Which hotel is charging to clean separate from resort fee?
Please share. What specific hotels are charging guests for cleaning rooms?
@@minecraftbuilder3110 Ita appearing to be bullshit at this point
Hey @Monika Demel - re: "cleaning fees" = Could you name hotels who are charging to "clean rooms?" Something you read as a joke on social media, while you believe true?!? Ehhh?
Alot of good mentions there. My top 3 annoyances would be the cost of food and beverage these days. The stench of weed in the casinos and guestroom hallways and the idiot card slappers.
Oooh..crime! I was watching a live random LVB street feed - can’t remember the name! - which is stationed across from NYNY - and when the camera panned directly down I caught a drug deal go down live! Could. Not. Believe. My. Eyes!! I’m no innocent cookie but that just seemed so brazen!
Jacob every time I see a new video of yours always make sure that I give a thumbs up and frequently I send the link to my sister who was with me right after the pandemic season ended and I met you in the lobby of the flamingo🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
That's awesome! Thank you Patrick 👍
Good vlog. So true about weed.. I don't smoke it but it's always overwhelming downtown and the strip. 😮
As someone who doesn’t drink or gamble it does make me laugh when people say weed bothers them in Vegas 😄 we all enjoy Vegas in our own ways I guess, which is what’s great about it.
