I did my first collaboration! Let me know what you think! You can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U8j0ISIkWiU.htmlsi=tnCtsYzMvGInti1D
You two had great on-screen energy together. Norma is cool and as RU-vid Moderator I have found collaborative live streams are problematic as her fans and moderators pretty much have no filter. Norma has a lot of friends in Vegas and Im glad you two got together. I would love to see you and Bill and Lisa collaborate someday.
The burnt buns are really upsetting to me. Did they think the were getting away with something or did they just not care? Unfortunately for them, they got busted! It has what you might call a chilling effect on the viewer. I would give their food a skip. Thanks Shin!
No they don't and they are not chefs !! Hourly workers trained by corporate goons.. they are told just send it out .. that place is like eating at a national chain joint . Outback,BJ's , Texas Roadhouse. They all suck . Very low quality food just jazzed up a little bit to fool the poor working class folks that think it's the bomb ... And then ya gotta bend over backwards at the register, lol .
Holy crap. I can’t believe that chicken was nearly $30. I guess they’re banking on people having the drunchies. Kind of looked like Applebees quality food. Just so expensive! Must be a touristy location.
$273 for what? They ought to be horsewhipped for sending out store bought apps, burnt buns, store bought pie and just 2 good meals….thanks Shin for warning people….this is just a big bar….
I do think the saloon side has more to offer. The restaurant section is just very average. I may be returning for some line dance lessons though. It looked like fun. Thanks for watching!
Sometimes. I guess it depends on who's asking. If it's my server, I typically just say everything is fine. I'd rather they go and provide service to guests and visitors to Vegas. I consider myself at work when I'm filming a video and I don't need the attention. I'm just here to make the vlog and report to you guys. I will be full regardless by the end of taping. Thanks for watching!
I would if I was off camera but the point of my visit is to report to you guys. I'm going to be full by the end of taping the video no matter what. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin! Just wanted to say I’ve really come to appreciate how descriptive you are with your reviews. Thank you for that! The way you carefully go through the flavors, textures and personal preferences really helps me have a realistic idea of what you’re trying! After watching your food reviews it leaves me wanting more from other bloggers reviewing their food! 😅 I wish you all the best 🎉 -Yaz
Shin, dude! They burnt The buns on all 3 of you sandwiches! I would not have accepted that. The salmon with broccoli rabe looked delish glad it was. At least you got a couple of palatable sides. Thanks for showing us what this place was like.
Because I'm there to make a video. I'd rather the kitchen and service staff focus on the customers who are there to enjoy their holiday. I'm going to be full by the end of the meal regardless. Thanks for watching!
You confirmed what we always assumed when walking by. With that being said, the salmon and sides did look very good. Too many choices to eat at to experience mediocre food. Your effort is always appreciated. Stay hungry for us!
The salmon was very good. If I ended up eating here for any reason (business, social gathering, etc), I'd definitely be getting the salmon. Thanks for watching!
As a Floridian that KEY LIME PIE is a travesty. Key Limes are Limes in essence but there juice is a cloudy yellow and it is 5x more acidic then a LEMON, if made correctly, the pie would be a bright yellow color. Key Lime Juice being 5x more acidic and bitter then lemon juice creates a unique eating experience that causes a pucker factor as you eat. Gilley's can buy actual KEY LIME juice to make the real version BUT they went kind of DENNY's on you by using Lime Juice in the pie instead. Lime juice is almost half the cost as Key Lime Juice so that is why many places uses LIME juice and just say its Key Lime Pie. So Gilley's RENAME that as a LIME PIE, signed EVERYONE IN FLORIDA! Shin love you as always, if you ever come to Florida you have to get a REAL KEY LIME PIE! You will see the difference. Gilley's gets a 2.7 out of 5 rating. (Burnt Buns did not help you any)
Interestingly enough, despite Gilley's having been around on the Strip since seemingly forever, I don't recall any vlog review on this place. So it was nice to get Shin's take.
Gilley's really has been around forever and I've personally never eaten here either. Just one more to the list of restaurants done for the checklist. Thanks for watching!
Good video shin...I liked the way you showed the menu... explained the ingredients of all the dishes you ordered well,and your honest opinion of each food was very nice..keep up the good work shin..and have a wonderful day
I would if I was off camera but for videos, I don't want to take up the kitchen or service staff's time away from tourists on holiday. I'd rather they get a better experience. I got everything I wanted for the video. Thanks for watching!
Any decent diner will never burn buns. Gilley's is a major disappointment and I'll pass . Shin, I hope you review a more upscale restaurant next Saturday .
Happy to save you the trip! I'm going to do every non-chain restaurant on the strip eventually. I'm kind of going resort by resort on the weekly to get variety. I just did Emmitt Smith's steakhouse last week though for something more upscale. Thanks for watching!
Not once, not twice, but three times wow! Strike out, 3 burnt buns. At least their consistent. Enjoy the collab with Norma. Hopefully you can do more. Your personality really shine.
Yeah, very unfortunate when it comes to the buns. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my video with Norma! I hope she'll invite me to do more as well. Thanks for watching!
Dam, all the buns were too toasted and burnt 😤...tater tots looked different from what I'm use to 😮 🤔...too bad a lot of misses at Gilley's...if it was me, would of sent itt back or just eat the burger w/o the buun and never visit again 😂...have a great weekend til Tues 🤗😘❤
In my quest to vlog every non-chain restaurant on the Vegas strip, there's bound to be some restaurants that are very average at best. I actually would return here for the saloon side though. It looks like a lot of fun over there. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shen - the kitchens quality control is lacking looking at all the burger buns, as you said they should not have left the kitchen! Great show as always. 😊
I love the atmosphere in Gilley’s, I’d go for a casual meal! If we didn’t eat somewhere mediocre once in awhile, we wouldn’t appreciate fine dining as much 😉
I 100% agree with that Lucia. Can't know what hot is if we don't know cold. And the saloon side of Gilley's looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to go back to try the line dancing lessons sometime. Thanks for watching!
If I was here to eat, then I would. But I was there to make a video and I got everything I needed. I'd rather the staff and kitchen focus their energies on patrons who are on vacation and tourists trying to enjoy their time. Thanks for watching!
Another Excellent Video Shin! Buns were unacceptable in my opinion especially all 3! Hit or miss on this food. I enjoyed the Food Video with Norma 😉 See you Tuesday! Have a great weekend!
Yeah, unfortunate about the buns. I think the average diner would have sent it back. I would off camera, but for videos I do not send food back. Thanks for watching!
Shin, you are very good at describing how food tastes, I have been to a few of the restaurants reviewed and now want to visit again. Please keep the awesome content coming....!! Great job.
Not the best restaurant I've been to for the channel but honestly, it's one of the most fun. I see myself returning to the saloon side for some line dancing if I had to be honest with you lol. Thanks for watching!
hi shin! another comment from my toddler that she wanted to share with you: dear shin, we love your videos and everything you eat. especially this one. we love it because you make your videos so special. since theyre so special since we love them and we are so joyful about them and its so nice watching them.
For that collab I couldn't wait for that girl to shut up. She actually blocked your commentary at one point...geez rude. Like a lot of youtubers mostly hot air.
@@VegaswithShin Seriously Shin, you are really good at putting out thorough food reviews. Honest and practical, none of this how many kg of food I can shove down or how many scovilles of heat I can tolerate. I would love to see you do a collab with someone like Alexander the guest. You are really that good.
I usually stay at T.I. when I come to Vegas. I've eaten at many of the restaurants at T.I., including Gilleys. Very mediocre with very high prices. And the service was average, at best. I would never go again. If you want barbeque, go to Lucille's at Green Valley ranch or the location at Red rock casino.
Thanx for the review!! I'll stay clear of this corporate rip off joint . Uck ,and the prices. Really. But they get away with it . Shame on these joints . Frozen onion rings ,burnt buns and all portioned pre-prepared food at its worse . They are all hourly workers in the kitchen. Thier isnt a chef in site !!!!😮😮😮
That food looked... meh 😕. And those burnt buns were ridiculous 😣 Treasure Island used to be one of my favorite places to eat and stay back in the day ( before it became TI). There was an AWESOME coffee shop where we got comped steak dinners. This was also before those horrible hard wood floors. I rarely step foot in this place now. Anywhoo...thanks for the great review as usual 💯
I miss the pirate show they had. It's too bad they got rid of that. I didn't know they had a coffee shop with steak dinners. That's the side of Vegas I really like too. Thanks for watching!
No need to be sorry to me, it's not my restaurant lol. It's just part of my vlog collection and as I go to make a video on every non-chain restaurant, there's bound to be some average ones. Thanks for watching!
I look forward to your reviews. You keep them interesting. I have to say you are way to nice. I don't make fusses when I eat out, but I would have spoken up on this order. The buns where bejond burned, they where cremated. It is an embarrassment to send this to a table. Especially when you order that much food. You said the server was really nice, did you tell her about the buns? If yes, I'm shocked they did not comp you anything. You mentioned that the chicken, onion rings etc where prepackaged. You could tell. Looked like caffeteria food. Or from a fast food joint, and not even a good one. The only thing that looked good was the fish. It looked like what a dish from a restaurant should look like. And that dessert was a sorry thing to look at. For once I'm not jealous of wanting any of your leftover. Hope you have a better experience next time.
When I'm on camera, I never send anything back. I'm there to make a video and I got what I wanted as soon as the order reaches my table. I'd rather the kitchen and service staff keep their attention on tourists who spent their hard earned money to take a vacation to Las Vegas, even if something is wrong with my order. I will be full at the end of the taping no matter what so it's not about eating, as odd as that may sound. Thanks for watching!
This is the reality of the Las Vegas strip nowadays. Restaurants, even the very average ones, are very expensive. It's one of the reasons I make videos so that viewers can get an idea of the prices prior to visiting as opposed to getting sticker shock in person. Thanks for watching!
I cant believe the server let those buns go out like that. Some lazy cooks they didnt want to cook more buns. Unacceptable. I wouof sent them back. I guess there clientele doesnt care about bad food. All that frozen foods, I could save my money and make better at home.
I really like the saloon side. It looks like a lot of fun and I want to try the line dancing lessons. The food could use some work though. Thanks for watching!
Gilley's was a one and done for me. Glad I tried it but no need to return. I appreciate that the ad placement on your videos is the best I have seen. You are the only one that does not have ads popping in mid sentence. Thanks for taking the time to always present a good video.
I certainly wouldn't find the need to return for the food but I may go back for some line dancing lessons. The saloon side looked like a lot of fun. I do put conscious thought about ad timing so I'm happy you noticed!
She did, and when I'm making videos, I always say everything is fine. I'd rather the kitchen and service staff give their time and attention to tourists who are there on holiday. I'm just there to make a video. I get everything I want out of my visit as long as the right plate comes out. Thanks for watching!
Aloha! I am so happy to watch you eat at restaurants I have no intention of visiting! It's a public service, truly. The diversity in cuisine on your channel is unmatched. Mahalo Shin!
I plan on visiting every non-chain restaurant on the strip for the channel so we'll see the good, the bad, and the ugly together. Mahalo! Thanks for watching!
I imagine the chef just lost track of the timing for those rounds of buns. Unfortunate for them I was making a video. But I think for any normal customer, they would have remade them if requested. I just never send back food because I have too much to get through. Thanks for watching +
Mr. Shin quickly identified that Gilley's is using pre-made frozen food that is reheated in a oil fryer. Honestly for the money, Burger King and Popeye's Chicken looks better! $237.56 plus a $47.00 tip is a lot of money for Denny's style food. Treasure Island is great, Gilley's not so much...
Good review..... Nachos looked good, shame on the hamburger given they are a specialty BBQ place... Fries looked tasty. the Fried chicken looked a bit average... Be interesting to see if the steaks were any good.
This was a pretty sad place to eat. 17.95 for frozen chicken strips and 14.95 for frozen onion rings...geez. Burnt buns. $31 for a 1/2 rack of ribs. I'd say there are definitely better options. I wanted to see you line dance Shin. haha
Definitely better ways to spend your food dollars in Vegas. I did want to do some line dancing. The saloon side in general looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin. Thank you for another great vlog. At a minimum, I would have at least asked for new buns being you pack up and take your leftovers to go. It’s too bad that they serve frozen appetizers yet charge so much. 🤷♀️
I wouldn't say the best food on the strip but it gets the job done and the salmon was really good. I like the saloon side a lot and I want to go back to try the line dancing lessons. Thanks for watching!
why didnt you send the bun back...way over priced garbage...and I have partied at the Original Gilleys before it burned down this is just name borrowing
I don't send back food when I'm making videos. I'd rather the kitchen and service staff focus on the people who are paying their hard earned money on vacation. I'm getting the video regardless and I'm beyond full by the end of every taping. Reheated later I barely noticed the char oddly. Thanks for watching!
Hi Shin! Another great review. I always appreciate how honest and fair your reviews are. You are by far the best on RU-vid. Love the haircut too! Please keep up the amazing reviews. 😍
Shin, I really liked your review. Too bad they let those burnt buns out of the kitchen, they looked horrible. A fun place with some nice dishes to enjoy. The nachos looked good to me. I'd have fun here with a few friends. Thanks for taking us along once again.
The saloon side looks like a lot of fun. I want to go back for some line dancing lessons. A good place for friends and a snack I think. Thanks for watching!
Ranch on onion rings...different. Down here in Texas, it is ketchup. And chili on nachos is a bit high school. Its beef fajitas, chicken fajitas, ground beef . That burger looks good ; but yep....they overdid the bun. That brisket sandwich is a NO ! A slap to us Texans . Cream corn is a twist. Looks good.
I guess Gilley’s is banking on all the fun activities vs food to keep people coming back. It’s always so disappointing when restaurants put Sysco frozen food on their menus. But the big disgrace is to then charge high prices for this stadium type food. It’s so risky to have meh food, so why chance it when there is so much competition in the same area. Thanks for the video.
Yeah, the saloon side was packed from the moment I entered to the time I left. It looks like a lot of fun over there and I want to go back to try the line dancing lessons when I don't have a bunch of my filming stuff on me. Thanks for watching!
Because I'm not spending money for food. I'm spending money to make a video. My goal is different with the money. I just want to make the video and report to you guys. Thanks for watching!
The brisket and salmon sound good enough to give Gilley’s a try but I do NOT like burned buns at all. Onion rings are a big no from me. An onion blossom appetizer would be better!
Gilleys used to be in the frontier casino before being demolitionist. I never went to it. Probably won't because of lack of attention to there food. Thanks 😊
I have done Mabel's BBQ! I like that place quite a bit! You can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iJxZPx1WekI.htmlsi=IDHdK-Myc0u9zSUv
I'm glad you enjoyed! I will see about working with him eventually but I have 2 more collabs planned but a very busy schedule so hopefully I can make that happen sometime. Thanks for watching!
