Another informative video from Jacob. I don't think anyone can beat his videos. He has about done it all. :) Question Jacob, why, after 1000's of extra gambling area openings have occurred in the U.S. does Las Vegas remained so popular? It's a bit puzzling to me just because of parking and resort fees alone are so high. Maybe it has to do with more choices of things to do in Las Vegas.

Just stayed at Tuscany Suites for 5 nights, in part from some of your previous videos. Amazing property and amenities. Very relaxed atmosphere. We aren't big gamblers but ended up with a heap of comp dollars to spend on property so free breakfasts every day was a real bonus. Also, being able to walk next door to Ellis Island was great. Only a 5 minute walk to the Horseshoe from our building, which was handy to jump on the monorail. We walked the area day and night and felt completely safe.

@HR-wd6cw5 ай бұрын
None are "cheap". The room rate may be cheap, but once you add in resort fees and taxes it's no longer cheap. That being said, sometimes if you stay at the hotels that do NOT have Casino's attached, you can get a better deal and maybe avoid the resort fee (not all hotels charge this, but all hotels that have a casino do). But to be honest, my new thing is to stay in a nearby town like Henderson and just drive in and park as it can be cheaper since those hotels out that way are not near the strip and may not be subject to resort fees which can be $35 to $60 that I've seen. Not to mention sometimes it's a PITA to get checked into some of the more popular "cheap" hotels along the strip area. Like once I was going to stay at the Rio, which was going to be $80 with taxes and fees, but check-in line was going to be 5 hours and I arrived at 10pm at night. Needless to say I stayed somewhere else and just took at hit on the $80 I prepaid. So be careful and I would NOT stay at any of the big resorts unless you get there early and can get checked in rather quickly (most start lines for check-in around 2:30 or 3pm).
