    Thank you for showing this particular resort. When my mom was still alive, this is the resort she would stay at every summer for a bowling tournament. I've personally never been to this resort, but have always wanted to go since she spent so much time there. It was her birthday earlier this week, so this video was extra special to me. Thank you for always sharing such fun adventures with us!! 💜

    Aloha Bill and Lisa: Thank you for taking us along for your dinner meal at the Ping Pang Pong Chinese Restaurant. That soup is called Gee Kwat fu-jook tong, which is a pork-bone broth with dried bean curd sticks. They added some carrots, pork meat, plums and ginger slices. The soup is a staple in my house hold. Looks like you both had a great time at the Gold Coast and Ethel- M. Glad to see that Ethel-M is just the same as the last time I visited. Looking forward to your vlog and adventure! Best wishes and much 🤙!

    The cactuscyou were referencing is called Aloe Vera. Used for medicinal purpose. My mom used to cut it and apply the yukie substance on cuts, bug bites sunburn. Good for many other things!

    Ping pang pong is my favorite Asian restaurant in Las Vegas. The only complaint with the restaurant is they sometimes add a 18% gratuity to your check. Getting a refill on your drink is almost non existent. This casino is usually busy and they have good food choices. We’ve used the bowling alley. I’m a Vegas local

    That's one way to start a video.
    Always buy Ethel M's candies at the airport when heading home. We did the tour back in the 1990's. Cactus garden has grown since then. Need to check it out again.
    We grew up with the nopal cactus. They sell alot of nopalitos in El Paso.
    Gold Coast looks like a really cool hotel. Need to go visit it next time in Vegas. Glad you went back to Ping Pang Pong and tried Noodle Exchange. Mouthwatering!
    Looks like Lisa had some luck on this trip. One of my fav slot machines is the old Stinkin' Rich. You can win alot on the bonus spins.

    Almost every time I am in Vegas, I go to The Gold Coast to eat n play bingo. I have dined at Ping Pang Pong numerous times. This past May, when leaving the casino, we noticed everyone who was eating at that noodle restaurant had a hot pot. We decided right there, that on our next trip we are going to try it. Thanks for the review!

    Thank you for this video. I did not know that this resort was a Boyd property. My dad is Cantonese , we called that soup foo jook tong. Ours also had some chicken thighs in it. We always took out the chicken thighs before they fell apart and poured a hot oyster sauce and oil sauce over it. That food looked delicious and the restaurant is open until 3 am.

    I miss back in the day when Gold Coast had a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Their breakfast buffet was SO cheap! Like $4.99 for adults and it had a wide variety of foods! This was like in the early to mid 2000's, so not that long ago! Such a bummer that all over Vegas they've gotten rid of these cheap but good buffets. Thanks for sharing another great video!

    • @billandlisa

    Love the food, looks authentic Chinese and home type cooking, what a wonderful dining experience, so happy to see a win or two, hot pot looks so inviting, you should try the herbs, it makes all the difference to the flavour, the chocolates were to dye for!, the 🌵 cactus thing was called aloevera, it's great for your skin and hair, and the pulp is so good for your health to eat or drink, also the red cactus fruit is also edible, it's called nopolea, one of the most delicious fruits you could ever try, trust me!, be careful of the prickles, it's great for arthritis too, have fun guys, glad you enjoyed yourselves, this was a good one, I enjoyed it*🍓😋🤗😁**
