Instagram- AdamTheWooATW In all honesty I have a hard time enjoying Vegas , I just don’t get it really but it’s growing on me . I prefer the old relics of Fremont section more than the strip . Check out RU-vid/Dani702 for lots of great history on Las Vegas
vegas is more a if u have the money to spend place, i prefer the small towns, cause you always find stuff u didnt think u would, and some of the food in small towns can be really good.
Because Adam, you grew up in the church with Christian parents, it is hard to feel at ease there. For some reason you seem to feel more at ease in the Bible belt. It is no coincidence that besides So Cal, you spend more time in those states. God loves you Adam.
You both literally walked past my apartment as I was leaving. I said your name, but you and Dani were having a conversation (not filming) didn't want to bug you. Hope you enjoyed your time.
I was proposed to at the volcano on an annual trip my ex-husband and I used to take for vacation and the volcano is very special and very near and dear to my heart. I am so sad about the Hard Rock and I find the whole sale disgusting. The Mirage is one of the very best resorts on the strip and I am devastated to see it go. Here's an excerpt about the history The Mirage was the first "megaresort" ever to appear in Las Vegas, and on its opening day in November 1989 it was the most expensive resort ever built. From day one The Volcano has been delighting The Mirage's visitors to what is an increasingly rare and totally awesome free Vegas attraction and highly emotional experience. Moreover, it's located on the most visible piece of land on the Las Vegas Strip. Frankly, it should be a historic landmark!
This is probably your answer at 21:00 in this video where this developer in the 90s said that Las Vegas is a movie set and nothing is historical: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eCgg0Oj4ok4.html
I agree with you 100%. I am not a fan of change and unfortunately Vegas is always changing. Since the Hard Rock couldn't survive at their old location (now the Virgin Hotel) why are they messing with the Mirage. Love the volcano and the lake front with the birds and ducks and always found the interior of the Mirage with all the plant life and water features near the main lobby, a very relaxing hotel. Plus and this is a big plus, they filmed National Lampoons Vegas Vacation there. It should be a historic landmark just for that classic movie.
My husband and I were married in The Little Church in the West in 1994! It was located at the Hacienda which no longer exists. The Hacienda was located next to the Luxor. I love that you showed it!!!
I stayed at Hacienda in the early 70s. At that time the strip was mostly empty lots. We saw Debbie Reynolds perform after watching a real estate pitch.
Dani702 is great. Miss her Florida videos but glad she can do the same in Vegas, again. Hopefully this helps her channel. Your a great guy always doing collaborations with other channels. I remember the love with Jackie super enthused that helped boost her channel.
YAY Dani 702 and Adam the Woo - fun, historic Las Vegas with 2 fun peeps! I love that you enjoy vintage neon signs and architecture as much as I do! Thank You and have a great 👍 time in “the 702” area!
Really enjoyed this one. I live here, been here since 1961 April 1st. I literally saw this town grow up! Good thing you got a picture of Siegfried and Roy statue, it may end up being taken out because the Mirage has been sold to the Hard Rock. They are taking out the volcano in the front and putting up a huge guitar. Very sad really, but that’s the growth in this town. It has been said to be an Adult Disney Land, anything and everything is here. I try and avoid the strip, I worked in the Harrahs Hotel, The Frontier, sadly gone, as a slot floor person. The old Vegas is long gone. So many stories I could tell you about it!! Only remnants are downtown, and they are slowly disappearing. There is a lot more to Vegas than the strip, but it is a big part of it.
My husband and I rode on the elevator with Steve Garvey at the Bellagio. Just the 3 of us he was very handsome and very nice! Also the Mob Museum downtown is great. Really gives you the history on the beginnings of Vegas and the mob.
I am SOOO glad you are back on the road again and doing your venturing, exploring, roaming videos. I've watched your Disney videos and movie location videos, but it this type that I enjoy the most! No Adam the Woo video is complete without Trains, water towers, birds and cows, and of course, cool, funky old buildings.
Thank you again Mr Woo. I personally appreciate the time and effort you put into all of your vids they take me places i would otherwise probably never get to see. Also, big fan of Dani702 it was nice to see her pop up and be in the video with you. Stay safe out there. Oh and one more thing... I know you don't gamble but if you want to leave Vegas with a small fortune..... Go there with a Large one! lol
Adam, I got to say Thank You for taking us around to see the sights. I've been wanting to go to Vegas but just haven't had the money to go. Last time I was there I think was 2005. Looks like lots have changed
The last time I was in Vegas was 2014. We stayed one night at Excalibur and one night at Luxor (I had a free night at each due to a game I was playing at the time). It was the end goal of a road trip that took us down route 66. I even made arrangements with a guy in Vegas to let my son ride in a DeLorean (he's as big of a bttf fan as you are). My favorite trip was (I think) in 97. I got to stay for 4 days. It was my 3rd trip in a year (I was a travel agent at the time, and got free airfare). I got to go to a magic-type show at Cesaer's Palace, ride the Roller Coaster at NY NY, and see Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo. My least favorite trip was over new year's '96. I arrived late on nye, but didn't get to make my hotel reservation until the next day. I stayed up all night, and was able to get into my room around 9am. I took a nap, then went sightseeing. I took another nap, then had to be back at the airport to make an 11pm flight back home. Definitely did not have enough time to explore.
For me I prefer the older Las Vegas. My family and I would go there a lot back in the mid 60's. I had a cousin who was stationed at the Air Force base there . He was part of the fight crew for the Thunderbirds.
The first time i went to Las Vegas, was blown away by the size of the hotels, never been anywhere like it, Freemont street, i loved, looks really busy Adam, loved seeing it again Dani seems really lovely, thankyou
My first time to Vegas was in 1983 when my then boyfriend took me on a day trip. We came back married. I was amazed. We got engaged in front of Circus Circus, went and had lunch, bought the rings at a little place along the strip and got married before four, because the rates were about to change. We flew back to California that night. We were married 28 years before he passed away in 2011.
Haven’t been to Vegas in a few years, but you’re right - it’s overwhelming. I love all the facades, the architecture, the art, the design aspects, the history…it’s just wild! And then mixing gambling, shows and some racy attractions- it’s just an odd mix-up of stimulation that is unabashedly very American! 😆🤷🏼♀️👏
Great video Adam, it's always nice to see the lovely Dani 702. Like you Adam, Vegas is kind of lost on me. When we do a boys trip, I get up, shower, eat the place my bets at the sportsbook for the day and then usually go out to explore the ghost towns and Desert. All my buddies gamble and drink all day, which isnt my thing, I will catch up and drink in the evening.
How did you deal with the progress? I do not like new Vegas at all. It used to be so cool. Unfortunately my dad moved there (he used to play there) and I may have to visit. I think I will cry if I have to see it this way. Ugh.
HEY ATW...I HAVE SEEN SO MANY VLOGS ABOUT VEGAS AND I have never seen it the way you guys showed it! It's like I never it before now! Thank you, great job! So many things to see. So many things to do.
Your love of the ornate ceilings makes me want to suggest an ITALY trip. I can’t imagine how much I would love to view an ADAM the WOO IN ITALY series!
Enjoyed watching you both from beginning to end! When Dani 702 was getting ready to leave Florida, you said you would visit her in Las Vegas and you did. Very sad to hear about the Mirage. Big thumbs up from us👍🏻
I rode on the New York, New York coaster with a girl friend who has since passed away. We stayed at Caesar's Palace and walked around the Strip. I sure do miss her. Judy was my best friend and she lived in San Juan Capistrano. We saw Sigfreid and Roy perform. Their show was awesome. Beautiful big cats as well.
Sad to hear the Mirage is going, it's where I stayed the first time I visited Vegas back in 2004, still, Vegas never sits still so change is inevitable. Vegas really is an amazing place, and the hotels are destinations in their own right, and what I love about Vegas is that if you need a break from all the madness, if only for an afternoon, Red Rock Canyon is just a short drive away and offers a total contrast to the bright Vegas lights.
my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last year and we stayed in the Venetian. all rooms are suites withe separate living space. it was phenomenal. there is a monorail in vegas that runs part of strip just east of strip. it was okay but a bit of a pain to getto. the Eiffel Tower has a restaurant at the top. we ate there for our anniversary dinner. i enjoy walking through all the casinos just to see what they have as architecture.
Thank you for an interesting update to Las Vegas! Great as always! I had lived 90 minutes south of Vegas and wasn't in love with the Casino strip but do enjoy your take on the town!
To me the main difference between a hotel and a motel is that a hotel is at a destination, in a town or city, and a motel is on the road for the benefit of travellers. Because the motel is for travellers there’s parking outside the rooms. Because the motel is not in the city, land is cheaper so it can be one or two storeys and take up more land space.
It somehow never occured to me that Adam wasn't very familiar with Vegas. I would expect he would love it dearly in a bunch of ways, at least as it was a few years ago. I used to go every couple years, but missed about the last 15. I was just finally able to revisit this weekend. It's changed an awful lot in those 15 years and not for the better. You might have called me almost a carbon copy of Adam during all those previous trips, though without the videos. I had a perspective that wasn't at all about gambling, partying, sitting by the pool, or eating fancy food. A lot of the fun stuff has gone quite sideways, and the people are a lot harder to be around if you like to explore without so much human distraction. There's so much still there that would take a number of days to experience, and I'm totally excluding the gambling, food, and clubs, which never were my thing. Since Adam is so into Diseneyland, a ton of this stuff should be right up his alley, though it can indeed be overwhelming and take some time to figure out and warm up to. I no longer have as much interest as I used to in the way things are built and how they work, and maybe I've become a bit more organic, but the luster has dwindled, maybe mostly because the obnoxiousness, loudness, and lack of manners and cleanliness was way more evident than in years past. I think going back at a slow time of year would be way more enjoyable for me. Still, the NY, NY coaster is one of the best I've ever been on, and it didn't disappoint this time. Loved the volcano and the Bellagio fountains once again, and Red Rock Canyon just 15 minutes away is a stunning but super easy way to get the awe of nature satisfaction without making it a whole day trip. So much more, but I decided to skip town early due to the frustration of the way people are there now and the loss of some charm. The whole strip isn't as clean as it was, a bit more seedy. I'll be back in a year or two, at a more enjoyable time of year, and revisit the hundred things or so that are fun and unique, and as enjoyable as many of the Disney experiences. The disappearance of the Mirage and the Volcano will be a huge disappointment, and I predict a bit of a resort shooting itself in the foot. Sorta like if Disneyland removed Pirates of the Caribbean to install a big video screen and electronic music beats. Doesn't need to happen, and Vegas has proved a few times already that the eagerness of change can backfire. Adam, go back for more of an extended stay, but first do a bunch of research to understand all that can be enjoyed no matter what your focus may be. I never met anyone who realized the sheer quantity and variety of fun things to see and do, but there is a ton of walking and scheduling needed to get it done. I could easily see you making this a 4-or 5-part vlog without trying very hard.
Welcome to Vegas! There’s a rad little side-story behind the Mirage. Behind the Mirage near the K9 kennels, there is a building of family-owned apartments who refused to sell their property to Steve Wynn…so the Mirage & Treasure Island built around it!
@@lilorbielilorbie2496 i saw that she really has that area covered a lot of hot springs videos the desert is not my thing at all but it's interesting to see her videos
@@magiccheeseball Everybody's gotta live somewhere I guess, but the desert is just to hot for me. I've been to Death Valley several times back when my family would go camping somewhere every weekend. I don't think that there is a campground from Santa Barbra to the Mexican border that we have not camped in. Had a lot of fun back then.
Pretty fascinating Las Vegas!! I probably won't venture there but thankful you are sharing your journey!! I will check out Dani702's channel!! Thank you Adam and Dani!!
I am so happy for this video! When I had my shop in Santa Ana and my home in Irvine we would go to Vegas every two weeks so the changes weren't as subtle. Now that I show every year at the South Point Casino I'm always on the floor I never get a chance to actually see Vegas. I'm not a gambler but I love to eat and when you panned around on Excalibur to see the buca sign now I know where to eat my dinner my favorite Italian restaurant chain! We did The claim jumper last year it was good food but a hike and a wait. This year's Run for the million is going to be epic I'm super excited I know you're not going to go all the way down to South Point but as popular as Yellowstone is and 1883 and every Taylor Sheridan project he's got going I am so happy to be a vendor of his! I think I'm going to follow this girl 702 and have her be one of our guests we are the music sponsor this year and our booth is 20x40 if that doesn't give anyone a heart attack who exhibits I don't know what will! Thank you for this I really really really needed this uplifting! ❤️ #AdamtheWoo #SouthPointCasino #TheRunForAMillion #TaylorSheridan #Yellowstone #1883
@@kathyscoppettuolo7168 thanks for that they do have a maggiano's in Troy Michigan but I have never been but I know it's good because I've had their ice cream! I so love Italian food and I'm going to be on Cowboy overload with this show so I got to power up with Italian thanks for that tip come by and see us at my booth!
Adam and Dani together this is a dream I simply love Vegas I am so excited to see you guys together perfection Adam.. Tell Dani I said hello…Loveeeeeee Thissss!!
Great video. Vegas IS overwhelming, but there's some amazing things to see. I'm not a gambler, but the resorts are beautiful. So many unique things to see.
Thank you Adam for that wonderful walking tour. I have no desire to go to Vegas I don't gamble and I would be so uncomfortable around all the people. (it's bad as New York City) I really enjoyed the insides of the different resorts and casinos. I would go just to hang around the beautiful architecture, it is so incredible to say the least. Thank you once again, and stay safe in your travels.
Aww come see us sometime. The resort corridor is just a great exciting spot in a town that's in a bowl surrounded by mountains. Come see our Valley of fire, Spring mountain ranch park , your the Ethel M candy factory, see a dolphin show ,a concert, or helicopter over the grand canyon! The mob museum or take a desert jeep tour...and more
I envy you Adam! I love Vegas!!!! Haven't been there since 2011 though! 🥺 Since my stepson just turned 21 it's soon time to make my return to Sin City!!!!
Hotels came first. Located in towns and cities. Then when cars started hitting the road, people wouldn't drive this new horseless carriage too far, but they were driving now to the next town, and needed somewhere to stay on the way there. So they built Motor hotels, meaning a city type hotel, but on the road where motor cars would all pull in. And the motor hotel became the Motel, Mo for motor, and tel for hotel. Nowadays a hotel usually doesn't have its own parking, as it's located right in the busy cities. A motor hotel, or Motel, means it caters to people in cars, so will have a parking lot for your car.
The roller coaster at NYNY makes me feel and look like I've been in an auto accident. It makes Matterhorn look smooth and sleek. I get the worst bruises on my shoulders from the harness. If you want the experience, maybe do it once at night and be done with it.
Welcome to Vegas! Perfect weather these past few days. Liberty Lock and Key was the business attached to Miss Liberty. That business has since moved down the street to a larger location. Yes, The Tropicana had a beautiful water feature back in the 80's. The giant coke bottle elevator used to fizz and smoke when the elevator was in use. I worked at The Venetian Sports Book for 12 years. Now its outsourced by William Hill. The gentleman who sings the National Anthem for Vegas Golden Knights used to be a Gondolier there. I remember that voice filling the entire mall! Not sure of the full story of the robot, but I know its somehow related to the robot at Area 15. "Life is Beautiful" is an annual music festival held downtown.
I went for the first time in years and it was completely overwhelming. I got some noise canceling earphones and have been back several times. It’s great once you master it. The best stuff is definitely not on the Strip, except there are two what I call “ghost towns in the sky”, that is, abandoned modern hotels. I think they are finally doing something with the long abandoned FountainBlu. Dani covers the Strip more than well enough to satisfy any need to go back there for me and she’s definitely not shilling time-shares.
Not a big Modern Vegas fan. Went there in the late 80s w/my folx and then returned in the mid 90s for an unfortunate marriage. Both times, the place had changed so much. If I could go there in the 1960s period, I might change my mind, but as for now - it seems like one big amusement park with WAY TOO many people. Thanx for letting me see it today thru your lens. Love your vids, Adam, you get the greatest shots, Looking forward to the next one. Take care.
I've seen Vegas grow over the last 30 years. It goes through cycles where it claims to be "family friendly" or more of a serious gambler vibe. The last few years it's tried to be both at the same time. If you ask me, an identity crisis. For me its all about the food, shows and some shopping. Gambling in Vegas is a secondary entertainment. Did you know that Vegas expects you to lose $500 per trip if you gamble.....
Most of the people we know who live there tell us that gambling is a poor man's sport, and they never go into the casinos. I can't even remember when I last heard of a big winner in Vegas.
Locals who live in Vegas always say they don't gamble...But, there are so many casinos off the strip that cater to the locals, so I think some gamble more than they say.
@@DannyWalker247 not necessarily true. Varies by property, company, and how they categorize each customer. Can be more or less but $500 is higher than what most places assume you’ll spend a day
Motels u You park your car outside your room and enter. It has NO interior hallways from room to room- hotels have interior corridors that lead to the lobby, restaurants, and other rooms! One has outside entrances to each room- a hotel has a lobby door that leads to a hallway to multiple rooms.
Adam all I can say is awesome pure awesome that whole are is amazing and I haven’t been there in years so it was so nice to be able to hang with you to see Vegas once again and you covered a lot of ground and I enjoyed every minute of it but I’m like you I love Downtown Vegas a little bit more because of the same reasons you mentioned all the old neon signs and the old architecture of the buildings so it truly was an amazing day and having beautiful Dani around made the day that much better I mean she truly knows her history of Vegas also I’ve been watching her since she moved to Orlando I was watching your video in 2019 at Magic Kingdom and she was hanging out with you so I have you to thank for introducing me the Dani a great vlogger now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next Road Trip Adventure also please be safe out there peace ☮️ out ✌️
