Delano Staycation - A Premier Experience 35 Floors Up, AND Dinner at the Fabulous Golden Steer!

What a week we're having! The BEST merging of New Vegas and Old Vegas...
Join us on a unique adventure on the Las Vegas Strip over a sizzling hot Labor Day Weekend - a two-night stay at the Delano All-Suites Hotel, a sweet comp thanks to a lovely couple from California. We scored a Stay Well Premier suite on the 35th floor with a breathtaking Strip view, and you will see it all! Room tour, hotel tour, the Delano Beach Club...dinner at the incomparable Hussong's Cantina in Mandalay Place, a second dinner at Lupo by Wolfgang Puck in the Mandalay Bay restaurant row, and...
A THIRD dinner, later in the week, at the historic and iconic Golden Steer Steakhouse up the road. This too was made possible by a generous gift card from fans of our channel, from Colorado. We got the deluxe history tour of the place from our host: the Rat Pack, fighters, mobsters, secret doors...and oh yeah, fabulous USDA Prime steak. We are packing a lot into this one, folks, so buckle in and press Play!
Delano Beach Club segment begins at 12:15
Golden Steer segment begins at 18:22

I LOVED this video ....old Vegas .....yay !!!

[@OneManOneCamera]

Score!!!! Great night view from the Delano! Always wondered about the Golden Steer and it sounded like there was no loud music. Excellent!

[@paulamckenzie]

We were so jazzed to have that Strip view, Dale ran home to get extension cords so he could do an overnight timelapse. As for the Golden Steer - it was Sinatra Rat Pack music, the original stuff, on low volume...perfect for the place. :)

[@scottferguson3842]

These are the best hotel reviews on You Tube.

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww thank you Scott - what a wonderful compliment.

[@paulmcclelland645]

Well done guys. Great stuff 😀

[@mikedistefano6718]

What a nice surprise for you both, tipping my hat to those kind subscribers! As usual, another great video. Honestly, the city needs to make you both honorary ambassadors...you do an outstanding job of promoting the many GOOD things about Las Vegas. 🙂🙂

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Mike - we find many good things about this town to promote, so that makes it easy :)

[@eltrunyocayo]

The Golden Steer, Tony Spilotro&Frank Cullotta(R.I.P)'s favourite hangaround restaurant! It amazes me how expensive absolutely everything turns out to be compared to what you would get in Spain for that amount!!! It's VEGAS!! THANKS for filming the restaurant!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank YOU for getting into the history Eduard! And yes, Vegas is expensive, like lots of resort cities. But, it was a great experience.

[@mrvegasvic]

You guys rock! You never disappoint with your outings. If I can't get there you are they next best way to a visit...thanks!

[@aidafiesta8683]

Can't wait to come Vegas ....😷🇬🇧

[@traceynewdeck8526]

Another Vlog that I didn't want to end. How lovely to get a comp stay and the Delano room looks lovely! Seeing the strip at night is one that always makes me want to return. You looked lovely Paula when you were out for dinner and haha how funny that Elvis was in the booth next to you. If the walls could take in that Steak House. I'm so glad you finally made it there. Take care guys and thanks for your time Xx

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Tracey, you say such lovely things! And we definitely agree - oh if those walls could talk...

[@Ucongold]

What a wonderful hotel gift, and as usual, your commentary was informative and interesting. I have never heard of the Golden Steer before, but its on my bucket list now. Thanks for the great video!

Thank you so much - we are happy to be your virtual Vegas til you can get back here. As it turns out, we loved The Golden Steer so much, we went back and had our Thanksgiving dinner there too. Scrumptious!

[@rosec8622]

WOW - what a nice gift you two have received to stay at the Delano! Lucky 🌟 Thanks Dale n Paula for sharing your visit ☕😁💥🦋🎉🎶🎼😆😎

[@kathleenbrenner2889]

I LOVE the decor/color scheme in the Delano!! Very relaxing and pleasing to the eye 💕 The Steak House doesn’t look like much from the outside but WOW the inside!!! As always I enjoyed our “visit” 😊 Have a great week you two 🥰

[@rjkral]

Absolutely wonderful!! How awesome to receive the comp from the lovely couple and another gift to the Golden Steer! The way the story worked out it’s like we all got the bonus of visiting there! Love that transition of the night view to the morning with the pyramid, and all the views in this video. Thanks so much for sharing and, well I feel I wanna say, having us tag along. Must take quite the effort to create these videos and film during your stay-cations, but the result is so many of us get to share in it and learn about Vegas from it. Thanks again!

[@paulamckenzie]

Lovely comment, Robert, thank you so much. Yes, it is a lot of work, a lot of coordination, and a lot of time in front of the computer to do the editing...but it makes a product that you all really enjoy. Virtual Vegas Vacations, that's kinda what we do... :)

Hi guys great video like always nice story’s on the Golden Steer take care god bless stay safe

Need to tell the wife The Golden Steer has been added to the bucket list 😃

[@paulamckenzie]

If you go, let us know what you think!

[@texadonkey34]

Such a wonderful video. Dale outdid himself. Beautiful hotel, I love the artwork. Every Sunday is a surprise & I hope the weather is cooler for y’all.

[@paulamckenzie]

Well I think we are down to 102, which is better than 112...

[@billkelly3015]

How great for those subscribers to give you their comp room! They sound like great people!

[@petermcclung9730]

We adore the Delano and have stayed there as our “go to” many times

[@paulamckenzie]

Wow we are slow to discover this gem!

[@petermcclung9730]

We have so enjoyed Della’s for breakfast with their amazing whole grain toast and perfectly poached eggs. Sorry it was closed. Franklin’s has excellent selection of whiskey as well. Also when Skyfall is open guests of Delano get a free glass of champagne if you go before a certain time. Usually around sunset and the outside terrace views are staggering. Skyfall has “secret’ sky high views from the bathroom as well. Rivea has an outside terrace as well with similar views and the food is incredible with a very large wine cellar

[@mentamf]

Again...you two have a great way wording all your comments...i love every word about every detail you two talk about.. im hooked on all your staystations....keep comming with more and more...ill be waiting!! See you in may....thanks

[@marylerkins8603]

I love how you guys keep dicovering new places, and you've lived there for years.Lol. Thanks.

[@paulamckenzie]

Right? Crazy! Just goes to show, no matter where you live or for how long, there is still something new you haven't done yet. :)

[@wondercharlie-thesupercat3763]

A well spent dollar !!! Great place when it was the hotel , looks like big redo was done . Pool was always packed , but fun !!!

What a beautiful hotel! I’m so glad you were fortunate enough to be able to go. How nice that you were gifted the room! Of course the food all looked delicious as well! So funny about the pretzels at the bar! 😂 The Golden Steer definitely seems like Old Vegas! How fascinating!!

[@richardklebe4000]

Another great video!!! The food looked really good, and the hotel room was very nice!!!! Glad you guys had a fun time!!!

[@paulamckenzie]

We sure did - and that was a very very hot weekend, Labor Day, lots of traffic, lots of tourists - but looking back on it, we had a great time. :)

love your videos im born and raised in ky, watched the derby too, the golden steer looked awesome.

[@stevekckm7879]

Wow....your Delano video is one of the best you've done. You guys are such pros. The Golden Steer video is the best presentation of the Golden Steer ever produced. And you know compared to all the "hotel" steakeries the Golden Steer is not that pricey. I'm kinda glad many of the tourists skip the Golden Steer leaving room for locals and out of town fans

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you, very much

[@Christine_1075]

you two rock thank you for another incredible video👏🏽

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you for always tagging along on our Vegas Adventures! :)

Loved the video! The last 4 trips for me I’ve stayed at the Delano and have always enjoyed it. Breakfast at Della’s is always good as well. And I always make sure and get a reservation at the Golden Steer. I’m making a trip out on October and can’t wait!

[@frankcolonna6279]

Oh you guys, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, especially at the Golden Steer. I LLLLLove the Old Vegas and you two just nailed it for me. Keep up the great work, there are many of us and we really appreciate it. God Bless You Both.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thanks Frank - we love digging up Old Vegas nuggets, because we know there are other folks like us that just love it.

Thanks for including the night view. There’s nothing like the lights of Vegas. I loved the pics from the Golden Steer. Hey, I just noticed the merch. It’s about time!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you about the merch - we are slow moving on all this, baby steps you know... And yes, the lights of the Strip are unparalleled. Dale did a long timelapse, night to morning, but only showed a few seconds of it in the video. As for the Golden Steer - we simply cannot wait to go back. It was a great experience.

[@robertwoods9370]

I look forward to all of the videos. I couldn't make it to Vegas this year but thank you for making me feel like I'm right there.

Always look forward to your Sunday videos and this was another great one. It was cool seeing some places I was familiar with since I stayed at Mandalay Bay last time I was in Vegas and visited a friend that was staying at Delano. I can vouch for the fact that Della’s is good as well. I had a delicious breakfast there during my stay.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thanks for that info - we just loved the look of it, and would have loved to settle in for one of those farmhouse breakfasts.
