In an age where properties seem to be leaning into the “contemporary luxury” (aka expensive) category, I appreciate how Caesars has kept these properties clean, updated, and at an accessible price point. My friend and I stayed at Flamingo in 2019 and had a blast. It’s nice there are still some “no frills” options on the strip that appeal to a wide audience.

@lizz2781 Год назад

You two have done infinitely good work on every episode for the past few years and 2023 looks to be a continuation of the same. Thank you for being a bright, informative, and fun spot in life.

@VoteAdnanShahab Год назад

Beginning at the end of 2010, I started coming to Las Vegas to visit every few months. Each year, I started coming more frequently, until I eventually purchased a vacation house in Vegas in 2014. This videos reminds me of how much this area has changed since I began spending time in Vegas regularly. I was at The Cromwell on opening day. Imperial Palace became The Linq. The Linq Promenade opened. I visited the White Castle at Casino Royale just a few days after it opened, and that was the first time I had ever had White Castle in my life. While this isn't even close to being my favorite part of the Strip, I have a lot of fond memories in this area, including listening to the Dueling Pianos at Harrah's and at the pool at Flamingo.

@LuisSanchez-iw7bi Год назад

It's been a long time since I've stayed on that side of the strip, Barbary Coast ( When "Big Elvis") did his act there, and what a great guy he is. Flamingo was another place, love the gardens. Treasure Island was another place. I mostly stay at South Point, The Orleans, sometimes Sam's Town, The M resort, Red Rock, Sometimes Excalibur , Luxor or Mandalay, Bellagio , Wynn and Venetian sometimes, and Downtown I stay at Main Street Station and Plaza. I try to avoid staying in Other resorts by MGM or Caesars, Their service, their fees and Parking fees are a deal breaker, not that I don't afford them, its just that I don't like their snotty attitude. Thanks a lot, great Video!!!

They’ll and Paula, what a delightful way to start a Sunday morning as always!

Yet another great video. I really like those green screen backgrounds! Whoo hoo, $3.00 domestic beer at White Castle, Casino Royal!

@dennishall8050 Год назад

Another great blog. Imperial Palace to the Quad to the Linq. I was scheduled to stay at the Quad right at the time of change over to Linq. They wanted the guests to check out of the Quad then check back in to the Linq. I asked while trying to book the room, “So you expect around 1500 - 2000 guests to checkout and check back in smoothly?” I choose to stay at NY/NY for only a couple of dollars more and no hassle.

@andysorensen1737 Год назад

My wife and I did a date night in October with Margaritaville and the High Roller. Definitely a good “neighborhood” if you’re looking for a cheaper time in Vegas. I also did catch the Walk of Fame too. Kind of a shame it wasn’t as big as it was, but still a nice tribute.

@davidberryman9688 Год назад

I've never been to the Cromwell but I've been to the Barbary Coast. Ditto for the Linq and Imperial Palace. I remember the good ole days walking up and down the Strip stopping for a cold one in one of those places. Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and a lot of fun to play at. Thanks for the tour and kudos to you for your efforts in this production. You covered a lot of territory and are to be commended for your dedication to this video. Looking forward to the next one.

@LoguesLife Год назад

Oh my goodness…this was so fun and brought back memories of my first trip to Las Vegas and seeing that riverboat to when I lived there in 2003 and I was a nanny for a mom that worked behind the Flamingo at the Hilton Grand Vacation Club. They were building the monorail so to get to her office I had to walk through the flamingo gardens and pool every day! And I’ve seen Donny and Marie when they were at The Flamingo! One of the best shows I’ve ever seen! Thanks for all the hard work you did in this! That is a lot of ground to cover!! Love you guys!

@jillczerwinski8870 Год назад

Affordable accomodations. I had the opportunity to see Donny's show, soft opening at Harrah's. I was really impressed; great music, vocals, stories, and that guy can dance!

@kathleenmanley9733 Год назад

The best as usual. I realize when I look at your videos that I really knew nothing about the other hotels when I lived there. You make me want to come to Casino Royale. Old style. Your friendly showgirl. (My sadness and condolences to the Presley family, too.)

@clfhnt Год назад

nice show folks thanks.........back in the 80's stayed at the Flamingo many times ..spent many a night playing the slots.....the sound of those real silver dollars clinking down into the hopper was a strong incentive to continue playing. One night when the winnings really piled up an old cleaning lady approached me and suggested I quit while ahead. Of course I didn't so the results were a complete wipe-out!!

@donnabolton1870 Год назад

What a fantastic informative tour of my favourite part of the Strip! I didn’t want the video to end. It brought back such fun memories. My first stay in Vegas was at Barbary Coast. It had so much character. Next stay was Imperial Palace. Always liked staying at Harrahs and Flamingo. Thanks for showing us Ramsay’s Kitchen. Looking forward to trying that on my next visit. Thank you so much for another ‘pure perfection ‘ vlog. The effort you put into your vlogs is very obvious in the quality of each of your videos.

Found this video and it's JUST PERFECT for our next trip. We flying into Las Vegas on April 28th and staying at the HGV (timeshare) behind The Flamingo. Never stayed at this part of the Strip, so your tour of this section was right on the money!!! Thank you. The other sections (Luxor, PH, Wynn) will be an Uber ride away. I'm sure we'll walk as far South as Miracle Mile Shops and as far North as The Venetian.

@citibear57 Год назад

I always enjoyed going into Barbary Coast / Bill's Gambling Hall. Memories of the wide-open corner entrance where you went down two steps, the low ceiling, the decor, and the quaint and cozy atmosphere. I even saw Big Elvis perform there. ( EDIT: I thought he was known as Fat Elvis in the 80's. Am I wrong? ) If I ever have the opportunity to return to Las Vegas again, I will no doubt check out its latest incarnation as The Cromwell.

@sharonkemerer2799 Год назад

He is called Big Elvis. Please don't refer to him as fat Elvis. In fact he has lost quite a bit of weight. And he is a fabulous singer and a really nice guy.

@MJinFlorida Год назад

Pete Vallee has always been known as Big Elvis, even in the 80’s

@amandadodgson2444 Год назад

We like this area, compact (can see why it was a lot of work, weaving in and out, much appreciated), and lots of good choices, usually end up in Denny's for the 4pm sirloin steak special or the delicious skillets at some point. Nice to see the Flamingo gardens, I paused the TV enabling me to read the tribute to Bugsy. Looking forward to the Year of the Water Rabbit...I bet my last dollar, its the Bellagio conservatory. Happy Chinese New Year.

It makes my Sunday to hear that nice little riff to open your vlogs. We are staying at the Horseshoe soon! I love that part of the strip. The Cromwell is nice, but dang, we have never won anything in there. But, of course, I don't play table games very often. Wow! I have never been in Drais. I do love the Flamingo. Such great history. The Flamingo always has a very vibrant casino floor. Tina and I really enjoyed our stay at the Linq. We had some very special guests visit us while we were there. We were thoroughly impressed with the Linq. We enjoy playing slots at Harrah's. Tina and I always go into Casino Royale...you just never know what you are going to see!! Wow $167 for a Sunday night...crazy. I love White Castle, the ones in Ohio. Thanks for the tour!!! Awesome video!

@gatewayz75 Год назад

Great video, I have a soft spot for The Flamingo, I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I swear the marquee doesn’t seem as bright at nighttime since the strip went LED with bulbs, the old school light bulbs made it all seem brighter. Imperial Palace in the 90s had the worst buffet ever, I paid, walked in, looked and walked out, I didn’t even bother asking for a refund. The Travelodge used to be beside the Casino Royale, scariest hotel I’ve ever stayed in 😅 the receptionist was so lovely she felt sorry for me and just handed me a cash refund on the spot no questions asked, good times 😂

Remember the cheap food in Vegas? I would get my coupon book for my free hot dog at Westward Ho, back in the day. I stayed at Flamingo for 20 years, then moved downtown. Less walking & looser slots😆🍀. It’s nice seeing the old pics of Barbary Coast👍.

@rjkral Год назад

Awesome video!! So extremely helpful!! Budget friendly rooms, places to eat, entertainment venues even gardens to walk in and "what's across the street location" you really covered it all and it's SO helpful! I love the wow factor of the big resorts but I also love the charm and nooks&cranny style of exploring this section too. My first visit was about 96 and this section especially that Casino Royale facade (which I LOVE) feels super nostalgic to me. It was likely there back then as brand new. Fantastic video well done to you both!

@jamesnorris1272 Год назад

Wow, a LOT of work to be sure kids, but VERY well done with plenty of history notes along the way! Yes indeed, this Chicago Boy knows that 'White Castle/Slider' AROMA from WAY back in the early 1950s! I am always amazed at the stats, time lines and updates you include on your property tours; I learn a lot! A little late, but if I didn't offer Kudos to your Christmas Special, twas' absolutely smashing! Hope your New Year is off to a rousing good start; Best Wishes always!

@bobm7499 Год назад

Great video! Memories! I remember the Barbary Coast and the Imperial Palace from years ago. I miss the river boat! My daughter and her husband often stayed at the Flamingo because it had a great pool. I don't much care for the big Strip casinos, but these look like they might be worth checking out, especially the Casino Royale as it does look like it has that old Vegas vibe. I've seen the facade but didn't realize it was a casino. One question and it's a serious one: the big casinos have very few Keno machines. One of the main reasons I don't go to the Strip very often. I know your run throughs were quick as you were trying to squeeze in 6 properties (yikes), but did you notice if any of these properties had many Keno machines? All the best from snowy Colorado.

@josephmalloytravels7516 Год назад

Flamingo was the first casino i stayed at in las Vegas but it got to crazy with drunken college kids. the linq and carnival court are fun places. Always did well gambling at Harrah's. Casino royale is great i never lost in there, i remember the shirt shop in front always bought nice shirts for souvenir gifts. I think the shirt shop moved to binion's. Thanks for sharing Cheers🥂🥂

My question about lower price casinos is “is it quiet in the rooms when I want to sleep?” Lower price casinos are often not as well insulated for noise

@godjhaka7376 Год назад

Nothing ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones can't fix !

@jasonkniss5999 Год назад

I stayed in a habitat view remodeled room at Flamingo (which is widely regarded as a loud party hotel) and didn’t hear a thing at night. I suggest looking at trip advisor reviews to see if noise is a common complaint across room types at a given property.

@thechampiondog4685 Год назад

Is it safe to say that the Flamingo Sportsbook is less than a third of what it used to be in the 1990's? It looks so so small compared to what I recall.

I'll be honest with you, don't remember that sports book from that long ago, and even so we don't pay a lot of attention to sports books in general. Tell you what though, the one at The Linq is really nice - check that out, it's jsut next door!
