This was definitely a hindsight is 20/20 issue especially since I have hundreds of thousands of points to use from MyVegas Blackjack. But I can say, at half price, it maybe would have been a better value. Off camera on that way into the show that was literally what James and I were like kicking ourselves saying to ourselves. We could have saved some big money on that show. Because when I reserved this about a month and half prior to our stay I literally paid full price 😮 - and those extra service fees pushed to cost to nearly $100 each for those front row seats. Not exaggerating on the price (those extra fees and taxes will sneak up) It’s definitely an activity that I was glad to have ticked it off the bucket list and glad we got to include it into the video. -Paul

We’re sorry to hear that you had such a bad stay at Excalibur! -James

Best way to end the day… -James

We’re glad you liked this one. PH really shocked us. I can’t wait to stay there again. Definitely recommend Rosa Mexicano. We’ll have a full video on it soon. -James

Absolutely! Thanks for your continued support! Honestly… you can’t go wrong with either Amalfi or Brasserie B. -James

It definitely hit the spot. I love how giant the slices are there! -James

Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate it so much. -James

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ As the person who edits the videos every week, it’s definitely been a steep learning process since we started (our original videos are very rough and were edited in iMovie 😮), but we have been learning and growing video by video so thank you for mentioning positive feedback on the video format as this really helps us know that we are shooting for the right direction ❤️ In general our goal with the content is “infotainment” so it’s great to hear the feedback. Thank you so much for that and we hope you enjoy what we have coming each week. -Paul

Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ I think what surprised me was how big the room was. And that was the standard room 😮 Also when we stayed at Caesars Palace, there was no charging dock in the room or the mini fridge (they only had a mini bar), and for a much lower price point, the rooms at PH really surprised us. Normally this property is priced slightly above Harrah’s/Linq/Flamingo/Horseshoe but usually a slightly below Paris so for a mid range option within the Caesars umbrella it just had so much Value!!! Value in the fact there’s ABC stores walking distance from the room without having to even go outside, that Lush store where you can get bath supplies to soak in that tub, lots of decently priced options for quick bites, and you’re literally steps away from Cosmo/Bellagio or Paris. I was not lying when I said it’s probably my favorite Caesars property (so far), we still need to tick off Linq and Harrah’s before we have stayed at every Caesars. -Paul

Hahahaha… not sure if we could monetize that on KZbin or not. Though that would be a topic I’d love to explore. PH really is a great location. Right next door to Paris, across the strip from Bellagio. It makes it a very attractive property. I would say not really. Nothing to make it kid unfriendly, but not a lot of amenities for kids based on our experience. -James

It’s kind of a volatile game, but I have seen huge wins on it. Just never had one ourselves. 5 cent denomination really seems to be one of the best denominations in my experience. Especially as soon as you get a bonus. Glad you enjoyed this one Saul! As always, we appreciate your support! Thanks, my friend! -James

Lol. Thanks for taking the time to comment. We appreciate it and hope that you enjoyed the video. -James

It’s so sleepy. If the music were just a bit peppier, I would probably give it a shot more often. -James

We did not get Earl of Sandwich. I’ve had it plenty of times before, and while we kept saying we were going to go, we never made it due to lack of stomach space and time. We’re so glad you enjoyed the video though! Thanks for taking the time to comment. We really appreciate it. -James

This was the first time we had any semblance of luck on it. Though we had some decent sessions on this trip. I felt like we were on a hot streak. Those videos will be popping up in the weeks to come. -James

Thank you, my friend! Honestly… if it weren’t for the music being so boring, I would probably enjoy this game more. Though this was the most successful session we’ve had on this slot. Thankfully, it was the start of a pretty decent winning streak over the course of that trip. Those videos will start popping up in the next few weeks. -James

Thank you! I’ve always loved bits like that. -James

Thank you! We’re glad that you enjoyed the video! -James

You are so welcome! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a comment! We really appreciate it. -James

@@18000rpm they had gallons at the ABC store too, we just wanted bottles that would fit in the mini fridge. -James

We loved PH. We didn’t do a lot of gambling there since they don’t allow us to film when playing slots, but we sat down a few times and had fun. Pinup is solid. Definitely not the best on the strip, but if you’re there and pizza is what you’re craving, it gets the job done and I’ve never felt like I didn’t enjoy it. I’m a sucker for onion rings. I rarely find a ring I don’t enjoy. The rooms are really nice. Sexy even. I still can’t get over the tub. I wish every standard room in Vegas had a tub like that. We’ll have a full video on Rosa Mexicano in the next few weeks. It was an awesome experience and felt great to do something upscale that wasn’t just another Vegas steakhouse with some Italian or French influences. Thanks as always for the love you leave in the comments! You know we appreciate it. -James

Thank you for the tips ❤️. I did not know it was an option at MGM properties as the TVs have always been so inconsistent between the different levels of properties but it makes sense they would keep that option hidden. This was the first time that we saw it right there on the TV so we just had to mention it in the video. It’s also a great thing that you mention NYNY because that is actually our next “hotel video” to release. We have stayed in both a standard king on a 24 hour stay and a suite on this last trip so that one will actually have two different rooms to showcase 🎉🎉🎉 So make sure to stay tuned to the channel for that one when we can get it out. Spoiler alert… We loved NYNY. -Paul

Thanks so much for saying so! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. It does seem that PH doesn’t get the attention that I think it deserves. -James

Thank you so much! We really appreciate it! I hope you have a great stay at PH. We sure did and can’t wait to go back! We hope you enjoy the channel! -James

We loved it and would definitely stay again ourselves. Thanks for taking the time to comment! We appreciate it! -James

Check in is hard to say, since we did check in at the diamond rewards check in. But yes, Caesars check ins can be bad. We’ve avoided issues in the past by arriving before check in and “pre checking in”. Sometimes early in the morning even. We usually get into our room early even without paying. Re flamingo… I’d stay at either, but PH would be my first choice. Lastly… you’re quite welcome. -James

Admittedly we have Diamond for this year so we had a separate check in counter. That being said, we did encounter on our last trip that Caesars did short staff a lot of their front desk staff 😢 - And I did hear from a viewer of this channel that they had encountered some issues with check in, so sadly between my personal experience with an unplanned midnight check in at Horseshoe on our last visit and what I heard from one of our viewers about their check in at this property, Caesars check in does leave a lot to be desired and this is an area that they really need to devote staff to and improve upon. This is a guest’s first impression. MGM has check in through their app, you can pre check in on their app and the app will notify you when your room is ready and you can use the app as your key. At MGM properties we literally did not need to even stand in line or visit the desk for check in. Caesars does not do this. For comparison between the flamingo video, I did enjoy my stay at Flamingo but this property had a lot more that catered to what I want in a stay. The basic rooms had a huge tub, lots of charging outlets, and an ABC Store literally steps from the room without having to go outside, and lots of options to just grab food. I was not lying or exaggerating when I said this was my favorite Caesars Property (and so far we have done Caesars Palace, Paris, Horseshoe, and Flamingo) Also, thanks for watching and we are glad that this video was hopefully informative and entertaining ❤️ -Paul

I will say the pool was thankfully a bit better than Excalibur for the fact that it was geared to be a bit more adult, but I still stand by what I said that I want lockers to store my stuff and will gladly pay for them. The only public deck chairs are in the middle of both pools so you literally cannot store any stuff (and we even brought very little when we went to go film at the pool) without worrying that it will be swiped. I have to be honest that I am not a huge connoisseur of pools in Vegas. But I do agree with your thoughts on the pool. It’s definitely not the Bellagio, Venetian, or Caesars Palace pool and I honestly liked the Paris pool a bit more than this one. Thanks for watching and the comments on the pool ❤️ -Paul

@@timprovphilly it’s so convenient! Also… I love the Hawaiian snacks at the ABC Stores. -James

I almost didn’t want to point out the “in room entertainment” during the editing as it may have been a bit more edgy like that Dick’s video, but… we also haven’t seen that option on the TVs at other Caesars and MGM properties so we wanted to point it out because Caesars clearly knows their audience for this hotel and their demographic, and… let’s be real. We are all adults here and that shows that Planet Hollywood knows it’s going for a lot of us millennials and I cannot be happier 😂😂😂 As for Ocean One, we did want to point it out, and we wanted to acknowledge the deal because it is a good price, people do love it, and it should be mentioned but while it may not be our speed, it does have fans and a following and if you wanna save $$$ it’s definitely a viable option. And yes… James loves the High Roller now. That footage was from our 3rd time doing it since that first video. I added that hit into the video because I want to remind our audience to always swipe your card at the promo kiosk, Diamond status or not, you may find tier credit multiplers, discounts, or promos that you cannot see. And that Diamond benefit with the high roller tickets is our secret to getting pretty lit when we are done filming for the day 😂😂😂 5 to 6 drinks each for only about $55 (upgrade cost), that’s a deal. Thanks again for the positive feedback and thanks for watching ❤️ -Paul

@JamesandPaulTryitAll yes Paul, the inclusion was great, and we are all adults. I can appreciate places that cater to everyone's tastes. I actually found your channel based off the initial High Roller video you guys created. I'm so happy to have found the channel you guys are hilarious 😂. Thanks again ❤️❤️

We always appreciate your support Tracy! Thanks so much for commenting and watching. -James

@@JamesandPaulTryitAll you are so very welcome ❤️❤️

Chinatown is definitely something we’re working towards. There’s a possibility of some segments/videos being filmed before this year is over, but it is not firmly on the schedule yet. But as a lover of all Asian food, we’re definitely wanting to get over there for some content soon. -James

That is always something that we have been meaning to hit up and plan into the content schedule. Admittedly at the planning phase we always run into the major issue of flying in and not having a vehicle to get out there and/or planning stomach space for all that delicious Asian food. On our September trip we will have some Downtown focused content coming into the pipeline, and for our December trip we are likely planning a North Strip property closer to Sahara Ave, which will make a ride share/taxi to Chinatown much easier and more accessible. Trust me that it has been something that we have been wanting to plan. -Paul

Awe thank you ❤️ We watch a lot of them too and also have our own favorites among the larger Vegas creators. We started this channel last October and have been striving to improve video by video and trip by trip. If you are newer to the channel, welcome, and we hope you enjoy the weekly content ❤️ We upload two videos a week (a weekly vlog and a slot play) and the vlogs can cover anything from hotels, to dining, to even fun activities in Las Vegas. The slot plays are just short, fun, low roller sessions that we capture in between making the vlogs when we visit Vegas with hopes to inspire our audience to try new games when they visit the casino. Thank you for the positive feedback and we hope you enjoy the many adventures in the weeks to come. -Paul

Hahahaha… I used that one more or less to reference that we got dressed for dinner. But I didn’t anticipate it having that other second meaning 😂😂😂 Trust me that none of what you may have thought ever occurred and it was merely just to reference us dressing a bit nicer for dinner. -Paul

@JamesandPaulTryitAll I thought as much. Was just checking just in case you boys were still there in the bathroom, blinking twice for help to no avail 😆 However many pairs of pants later... I loved this episode 😍 😁 x

We’ll get you in the next shoutout session! I promise! I’m not exactly sure when it will be released, but we’ll probably end up doing it in part 3 of our “Trying every pizza slice counter on the strip” series. Thankfully we have one more segment to film (which we’ll be doing at home in Phoenix) and we’ve got a few more shoutouts on the list. -James

@@JamesandPaulTryitAll I was just busting your chops because you seem to have a good sense of humor. Love watching you regardless.

@@kims1941 we still gotchu

Considering how much I love a good booty, I’m gonna assume you mean this in a positive way, and say that I agree. I hope you enjoyed the video. -James

After getting down to the last bits of the $100 we put in. Going back to where we started is a huge win in my book. It’s still a win if you break even 😂😂😂 And apparently this game is pretty volatile. So playing at least to the point of being down $25 for entertainment… not too shabby. -Paul

We may try that in the future if we redo this video. Things are always changing on the strip and you never know when a new donut shop is gonna pop up! Thanks for taking the time to comment! We appreciate it so much. -James

Admittedly we didn’t notice until we saw the price on the receipt. Between that MGM stay being our last day (day 5 of a very long trip), neglecting to see the price posted up on the wall (we found that out on this last trip when we filmed a different segment at Lucini that the price was listed on the wall the whole time), and then originally them forgetting to give us the bottle of Coke we paid for and having to go back to the receipt to see that it was $8 and then having to go back to the slice counter to get them to give us the $8 bottle we paid for. By that point I wasn’t going to fight them on the price. I just wanted the bottle of soda we paid for. It was a situation where we were like, “Wait… did we really just pay $8 for that? And did they forget to even give us that $8 bottle of coke?” It was one of those situations where in an end of trip haze we were on autopilot and ordered two slices and a bottle of soda not thinking of the price and not noticing until we later noticed they forgot to even give us the soda 😮 So that’s the “behind the scenes” story to that $8 bottle of soda. We even joked with the same lady on this most recent trip when we came back to film Lucini again for another video (5 more Pizza part 3) and we had a collective laugh together when we declined the $8 bottle of soda. -Paul

Admittedly… when we ordered it, we had no idea. Then when it was time to pay, we decided to eat the cost. I was thirsty. Glad you enjoyed the video though! Thanks for commenting! -James

@@JamesandPaulTryitAll Lol - thanks for the context!

I know my fair share of Giants fans. I hope you enjoyed! -James

I mean… I’m not super picky, but I do realize that some people can be. I’ve stayed in much grosser hotels than the flamingo. Frankly, I’m shocked at the amount of hate that it gets. Thanks for taking the time to comment! We appreciate it! -James

@@Grunt0610 OMG. That is so amazing! We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying our channel, and so happy to hear that you enjoyed Brasserie B! Thank you so much for the kind words and continued support! It means the world to us. I hope you enjoy Amalfi! It’s fabulous. -James

You absolutely should! I had such a great meal there. I’m always so sad that I can’t easily go back to places I love in Vegas since we’re constantly trying new things for the channel. If you end up dining there, I hope you have a great meal. Also… you absolutely deserve the shout out! Thanks for the continued support, my friend. -James

@@JamesandPaulTryitAll I’d also recommend that go hit up Ocotillo on 3rd and flower and get their whole branzino. Also beef ribs there too!

Suggestions? We have been working to improve our thumbnails and went for a more triangular approach for this one, while highlighting food from the 3 different restaurants featured. Also featuring Bobby Flay because the video is about his restaurants, with a background of Caesars Palace to highlight that his restaurants can primarily be found there. Also because it’s an “Every” video, the tagline was “We Tried Them All” (additionally on brand for us as that is the name of our channel) with a red color that contrasts the blue background above and draws attention to the fact that we tried every Bobby Flay restaurant. On paper, it does seem like we are following most best practices for thumbnails that all of the major KZbin growth experts suggest (such as VidIQ), but do you have any better suggestions? -Paul

@@JamesandPaulTryitAll I've noticed a few areas where your thumbnails could be optimized to attract more viewers: Color Contrast: Utilizing bold and contrasting colors can make your thumbnails stand out more. For example, a combination of vibrant background colors with bold text can catch the eye more effectively. Text Clarity: Making sure that any text on your thumbnails is large, clear, and easy to read at a glance. Avoiding too much text is also key, as simpler messages tend to have more impact. High-Quality Images: Using high-resolution images and making sure they are sharp and clear can make your thumbnails look more professional. Consistent Branding: Incorporating elements of your channel's branding, such as a logo or a specific color scheme, can help build a recognizable and cohesive look across all your thumbnails. Engaging Visuals: Including expressive faces, dynamic poses, or action shots can create a sense of curiosity and engagement, encouraging viewers to click on your videos. I'd be happy to create a few sample thumbnails for you to demonstrate how these changes can enhance your channel's appeal. If you're interested, we can discuss further details and your preferences. -zesan

@@3rdgencigargod of course you got a shout out! And yes… both the pasta and the octopus were to die for! -James

I’m happy to hear that you liked this one! We really wanted to go back this year, but in all reality we aren’t super excited with the mazes for 2024, and will instead wait until next year. Or when they open the new year round Universal haunted attraction at Area 15. -James

I’m getting that feeling myself. May try again in the future, but for now I’m just glad that we didn’t end up losing too bad on it. -James

@@JamesandPaulTryitAll as long as you had fun losing it, it usually isn’t bad.

@@Paula.Restivo you’re absolutely right! -James

The thing is, when we went to film our French Dip episode in Downtown LA this was right there Downtown, and so we made a point to stop here. I will say this about Grand Central Market. There’s an Eggslut (with a much shorter line than the one at The Cosmopolitan), there is also a Wexler’s Deli (which is at Proper Eats Food Hall at Aria), so there’s definitely some Vegas crossover with some of the stalls at Grand Central. But overall since we did this in between Philippe and Cole’s our stomach space was running thin so we reviewed some Beer, Chow Mein, and Ice Cream. I will say this… Golden Road Brewing is all over Las Vegas and we were surprised that Beer Park at Paris had Golden Road Tart Mango Cart and Golden Road Street Cart on tap. So the more I see it out and about in Vegas, the more I think about this video and the fact that we literally had beers at Golden Road in this video 🎉🎉🎉 - I highly recommend their beers if you see it on a beer list on your next Vegas trip. -Paul

It was definitely fun, but I may not rush to play it again. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the video! -James

I would assume that the dollar signs have to be free games. It’s definitely a cute slot. If we weren’t trying to stretch the bankroll as far as possible for as many videos as we do, I would have probably wanted to play a little longer and try and hit the free games. -James

Lol! We were recently discussing doing a video about all the Male Revues. You never know.. you may actually get your wish on that one. -James

I probably won’t be jumping to play it again soon. Had it not been for that last second bonus, that would have ended up a complete loss. I hope you have a great stay at MGM Grand. Especially since you’ll be there during pool season! I’m sad that I still haven’t been able to experience their pool. Glad that you enjoyed the video! -James
