Wait a second. Slick motion graphics open. Excellent use of natural light from the window for your on camera intro. Written VO with smooth delivery. Nice edits and transitions with a music bed. You aren't just some random mom and pop!

[@paulamckenzie]

Hello! We are very flattered by this comment, more than we can say - thank you! 😊 No not quite a random mom and pop - Dale has been in show business his whole life, and it turns out I have a way with words lol (I write the voiceover scripts). Our son makes videos for a living, and he gave us some great advice on gear, editing software, and so on, to get us started. The rest has been learn-as-you-go, and 3 1/2 years in, we have sure learned a lot!

[@rubytorres8885]

Love your videos!

[@immnotaboutthatlife2086]

Great video! Very informative and well made.

[@LivingLife128]

As an older couple that has lived in Las Vegas longer than many of the other Vegas reviewers have been alive, you always do a great job on the vids. no hype, all class

[@paulamckenzie]

This is an amazing compliment - I had to read it out loud to Dale. Thank you :)

[@TheMidlifeRide]

The room looks really nice. I love the decor. We’ve wanted to try this place out for awhile. That pool with the aquarium always grabs my attention when walking by. It’s great that they have an adults-only pool. We really appreciate your thorough coverage of the property and surrounding Fremont street area, as well as an honest review of the restaurants. You sure fit a ton into this staycation. Oh, and amazing win on Keno!

[@sallypeterson5642]

A very nice vlog. My husband and I just got back from the Golden Nugget the first week of March. We always go there and I get my room comped every time and I am not a big gambler! I am so happy you reviewed Vic and Anthony's. I have always thought about going there but maybe we won't. Usually go to Hugo's for our steak fix. I also won on a video poker machine with a royal flush. That made my week! So happy to hear you won THREE times. How great. Thanks for your ALL your hard work in making these vlogs. I enjoy watching each and everyone of them. Take care.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thanks so much, we are so glad you like our videos! And congrats on that royal! :)

[@citibear57]

Golden Nugget looks fabulous. I am so happy that the downtown casinos/hotels are still around, and hopefully, doing well. Dale, I am glad to hear that Lady Luck visited you three times that day. Wow! Sorry to hear that your dinner wasn't as good as it should have been for the price. I wouldn't be too happy if that happened to me. Thank you both for another excellent video! And Dale and Paula, you don't know how much your videos help all of us through the rough times!!

[@paulamckenzie]

I would say, based on my recent visits to downtown, that it is doing extremely well! It is packed and thriving! And thank you, Mike, for saying such a nice thing about us and our videos...so many of you are sharing that with us, and I will just say, we are honored.

[@unclerudy9797]

[@lisaanderson8235]

Well, dang! The Bud Lights are on Dale! 😆 I'm so glad you had such a wonderful staycation. That steak house looked so inviting, and the food was classic. But you were honest about the food, which I really appreciate. 👍👍

[@paulamckenzie]

Better hurry up and claim that Bud Light before he puts those winnings into another machine!! As for the honesty...we just felt compelled to go outside and talk about it, and then we left it in, for you to see.

Well as long as they have 'convenient charging stations' and 'exhuberant flower pots' I am sold! 😀

Love the true reflections on your dining. Love the Nugget. It was my very first Vegas stay and wonderful memories. Your story tell is so inviting Dale. It takes right where you are. And the beautiful Paula with her insight bring it all together. Thank you for this extended tour. I loved it. Russell in Tucson, AZ

Yep, now that the masks are finally off, you will be seeing more of these...another coming very soon, on the Strip!

[@donnabolton1870]

I absolutely love your videos. You offer so many interesting details. Also enjoy and appreciate your honest restaurant reviews. We’re going to back Vegas in August. Although most of our stay will be on the Strip we are going to stay one night on Fremont. It was great being part of your Golden Nugget visit. Thanks again for an awesome Sunday morning video. Fun way to start the day ! Also congrats on your big wins! Keno is by far my favourite game and the horse race is always fun.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thanks so much, Donna, for tagging along on our GN staycation - we are glad you like all the little details. I used to avoid Fremont, never go down there; but since the vlog, I've been there a lot, and I really like it. Different from the Strip - both have their perks - but lively and fun in its own way.

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful time at The Golden Nuggets. You were so happy and smiling and I am happy you won some money too.

LOVE this video!!! I think that's where we're going to book when we finally make it back out there! Congrats on the wins! We won at the Nugget and Binions when we went in 2019. We love the feel of Fremont, especially in the casinos that kept the old Vegas feel. Aw, Dale! You're so sweet! We love you both!

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww thanks so much, we love you too! We really feel that your odds of winning downtown are wayyyy better than out in the neighborhoods -- I'm glad you agree. Hurry back, and get to winning!

[@brendabaldwin5857]

What another awesome video Dale and Paula!! As always, you put so much into your videos and love your total honesty about the dinner at Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse. You are so respectful when you let your viewers know how you truly felt with dining and hotel rooms. The Golden Nugget looks very much the same as our last visit, except the rooms have been updated - they look very nice! Thanks for such an awesome video!!

[@paulamckenzie]

Glad you like the video Brenda 🥰 About our reactions…we do want to be respectful, because anybody anywhere can have an off night, or a less than perfect experience. And then somebody else has a great one!

So nice to see Dale out and about again. Dale, you looked to others during struggles over the last 2 years and I wanted you to know how much you and Paula helped me. I looked forward to every Sunday to see your adventures and it helped me a lot. Thankfully it looks like we get to visit Vegas once again, booked for May 8th... really hope we see you guys and I'm buying a round.

This is such a lovely comment, thank you very much! We are honored to have been able to provide a little diversion during some pretty tough times the past couple of years. Thanks so much for that offer of a round, hoping it'll happen!

[@nancyg1329]

I’ve never thought about staying on the strip but this changed my mind. The pool looks amazing! There seems to be a lot to do downtown for families. Although I would probably go during the week when it’s calmer. What you said about comedians and cursing, I agree with. One of the things I like about your channel is that you keep the language and content clean. Thanks for another great video.

[@mikeberg5003]

Not sure if you've been to Vegas before but the Nugget isn't on the strip, it's downtown and unlike the strip, Fremont street can have some pretty low class people.

[@nancyg1329]

@@mikeberg5003 Thanks for the tip. We go a lot but always stick to the strip.

[@mikeberg5003]

@@nancyg1329 No problem! We do head downtown once in a while just to get off the strip but haven't stayed there in over 10 years. It's gotten better with the Circ casino I guess and the Nugget is still beautiful but man there are so many tweakers, hustlers, people bugging you to buy stuff it's a bit much.

Ice Bar is disappointing because they don’t have Blue Cheese stuffed olives for their martinis. We’ll be back in Vegas a week from tonight but at the Venetian. The good news is that dinner Sunday night is at Oscars. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Great staycation video! I like how there is no "going Hollywood" for Dale--whether he's eating at a snack bar or a 5-star restaurant, he sticks with his Bud Light! I may have said this before, but in the two years I've been watching your videos I've come to the conclusion that Dale's two favorite types of beer are Bud Light and "free!"😂Please keep the content coming.

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

Can you imagine a Bud Light commercial with Dale?

[@paulamckenzie]

Well Buster, I had to read this out loud to Dale - and he is flattered that you "get" him! He doesn't change his stripes, no matter what situation he finds himself in. But, he really only has one type of beer, and it's Bud Light. He'd pass up free, and pay for a Bud Light! :)
