Don't Stay at Ellis Island Las Vegas Until You See This...

[@pedro407LV]

I absolutely love the Village Pub Inn & Cafe for breakfast , cheap prices and HUGE portions. Ellis Island really is a hidden gem right off the strip

[@kmauryo]

Although you can seldom get a seat after waiting 40 mins. BECAUSE its been discovered by All the airline pilots who earn 200K per year and stay at the big hotel down the street. Facts!

[@gscgold]

hands down best breakfast I've had in Vegas since the 00's ...not kidding.

[@Jesus.X]

I agree. the bbq restaurant is also great.

[@ScissorVixens]

As a local…I’ve been there many times! Usually to meet up with other local friends for the cheep beer and food. Had a friend from out of town stay in a room that was more like a suite with a separate small living room area that had a second bathroom attached to it. Very nice room for the price.

[@greenbird3850]

Back in the day 98 to 2000 had $5 all you could eat and drink pig roast, real pig roasted + (EIB beer) on Sunday NFL days. ..then free bbq Burgers dogs and sides on MNF. Those days are long gone.

[@bagsinthereel]

You go OG Jacob!! Keep these hotel reviews coming. Delivering the best practical information 🤙

[@edmark8893]

I stay there a few times when it was a Super 8 franchise. Cheap and convenient to the Strip. Free parking is a big plus.

[@IndyGuy65]

If you're coming to Vegas solo and like to gamble, eat and drink, Ellis Island may be for you. Jacob, you are speaking my language.

[@joerockhead7246]

Used to walk by this place everyday on my way to work on the strip. thanks for posting.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

De nada!

[@mommaelmer59]

We were starving and Village Pub Fish and Chips hit the spot!! Parked just feet from the entrance to Ellis Island..very convenient for us..wish we would have scoped out the place a little better..love your info for sure..Love All You Do for Us and Vegas ❤

[@18babbfan]

Ellis Island is a great place. The renovations took it to another level without losing the feel that makes Ellis such a fun place.

[@buzzkincaid5521]

You have a easy , well spoken , and informative way about you. Thank you for this offering

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

You're welcome Buzz! I appreciate it!

[@francissmyth8364]

Food at Ellis Island is fantastic. Recommend by locals so we gave it a try, went for dinner three nights in a row.

[@larrywhipit5204]

I hear the dealers there keep their own (KYO) tips. I love that. If you get hot playing table games, you can really make their day!

[@Marcthegaurdian]

A bearded Jacob sighting! Bearded Jacob was so cool. 😂😂

[@derkempf7774]

Congrats to Jacob hitting 200,000 .Onward and upward.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you Valmor!

[@paulsuprono7225]

Jacobs is paid . . . for that 200,000 concentration. NO ONE does this for free ! 😬

[@titiung]

@@paulsuprono7225 Well there Sherlock, he worked for it.

[@V1ZNS.]

Ellis Island is the spot! Not much left like it in Vegas.

[@rodedwards774]

Jacob, it's so good to see you today. What a wonderful video you have produced. Thank you sir.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

De nada!

[@farklestaxbaum4945]

This is the best Vegas channel, in terms of information and entertainment. I hope to see you review every strip hotel one day 👍

[@tims4694]

Ellis Island rooms look better than what I expected. And I love their casino, low minimums and good VP machines.

[@houseoftreasures9545]

Last time I was in Vegas I stayed at my timeshare which was just around the corner, we had breakfast there the first day and enjoyed it so much it was our go to place the whole trip. Love the videos.

[@nitaapplebum7637]

One of my fav old casinos! Steven the bartender is the BEST!! 💯🍾🎉

[@arthurd24]

I stayed for a weekend and I agree that this is a gem. Great value for tourists on a budget. Great value for food and drinks. Look forward staying there later this year.

[@Alstars2006]

☆☆☆☆☆OMG You had me at unstocked Mini-fridge!! I'm SO THERE! Almost the entire Strip rooms have No Mini-fridge and microwaves anymore unless you PAY 30 dollars more per day. Thank you for this vlog I am a believer now. Ellis Island here I Come ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Alstars2006]

[@MaryAnnMaher]

So now that I've subscribed, I have found that you are a wonderful, warm, funny and intelligent tour guide for all of us that are thinking of moving to Vegas. You have a wonderful personality and you're becoming a friend to many of us! By the way, I don't know how tall you are but you oftentimes are less than an inch away from the top of the doorways in some of the hotels that you go in...Anyway, thank you for your videos and being wonderful!

[@rh7062]

I go to Vegas twice a year and always go to Ellis Island BBQ it's a great value.

[@eyvannavo]

Congrats Jacob on reaching 200k!

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you vv!

[@pauljacobs9543]

We haven’t stayed at Ellis island, but we go there every time we visit. The BBQ dinner is awesome, we have always had good luck on the slots and the owner keeps making improvements, we notice every time we go.

[@pawliksworldofentertainmen1734]

Congratulations on 200k subscribers Jacob!!!

[@BNaturalStudios]

Great job Jacob! Congrats again on the 200K!!!

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you BNS!

[@boosterpatrol]

Wouldn't choose to stay there, but I love EI's restaurants. Last year I wound up eating at the Village Pub six times in a 5-day visit (stayed at Treasure Island), and was kicking myself that I didn't get to either the BBQ or Front Porch! Really good food at excellent un-Vegasy prices.

[@8sports]

Love this place. Village Pub restaurant is super affordable and big portions. It is a really short walk to the back of Horseshoe where the tram is so you can get to any place on the strip relatively quickly. Not much of a sportsbook if that is your thing but does have a place to make bets.

[@bobrelle1957]

Hi Jacob - I enjoy watching all your videos. I've been to Vegas many times, but you showed alot of places and things I never knew was there. Great information for anyone who is going to Vegas. You also are hysterical too. I laugh so hard watching these videos. Keep up the great work. Bob

[@Omikoshi78]

1:41 you are a very brave man

[@jasoncoryell2369]

The best bang for your buck around. I love the Ellis! Your review was excellent but the only I would of said is the energy on the casino floor at night is great. Lots of locals hanging out having a great time.

[@Wickett01]

Thanks for covering this! I have been curious about staying at Ellis Island, given the outrageous prices on the strip since 2021.

[@mikemckeon8976]

As always, great video Jacob. Very surprised the Ellis Island has such a high resort fee, for being a non-resort, only a motel sized pool and small hot tub 😮. We have been to Ellis Island for for and some gambling, which is always well a great value. But based upon your review of the hotel side of things, that part of the house doesn't some like a good value. We agree the staff have always been friendly and helpful with great service, that a lot of casinos just don't strive to provide.

[@pauldempsey1214]

I always stop in Ellis when I'm in Vegas.. LOVE Village Pub food quality/Quantity Last time there turned $40 into $150 playing Blackjack..

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

The pool area is very charming. Definitely a throwback to the 1950's, 1960's, where, as you swim, you get to breathe in car exhaust. I remember swimming in a motel like this in the 1970's, and having whole families stare at us swimmers as they got out of the car. :)

[@justinbryson352]

Lol, that is hilarious. I guess that is why there was nobody using the pool.

[@mitchhaunn8400]

We go to Ellis island on each trip we make to Vegas. Great beers that are brewed onsite and good food as well. Thanks for sharing Jacob!

[@TheVictorCruz]

Never stayed at Ellis as a hotel, but visited the restaurant/brewery many times. The value there is unbelievable considering how expensive Vegas is these days. Ellis is the best well known hidden gem!!😂😂 Oh yeah, and another great video Jacob. Keep em coming.

[@largol33t12]

If they keep their prices unchanged, it'll help them fight off the mega-resorts. If I ran a huge one like Excalibur or Circus Circus, I'd be nervous about this hotel's affordability. And what's with hotels charging "resort fees"?? That's just obscene and greedy.

[@kewljewl3006]

It has been 3 years since I visited, but had phenomenal good luck on the slots! One evening it was past midnight and the security guard was happy to walk me to the garage, which was much appreciated.

[@fsusoccer]

I adore Ellis Island. My first trip to Vegas I visited Ellis every day of the trip, and my last trip to Vegas I went twice. I would be hesitant to stay at Ellis because the rooms are pretty mundane and I like the action and vibe of Fremont street but when I do Vegas I have to visit Ellis. It is a low rollers dream. I love doing afternoons at Ellis, play craps for a few hours and do dinner at Village Pub before kickstarting the night. $5 craps and $5 blackjack are gems of present day Las Vegas. In addition, the staff at Ellis keep their own tips, so they have lots of motivation to provide good service and you know when you reward them for it they get to keep it. The craps dealers at Ellis are fun and charismatic and I've always had good drink service at the tables and machines.

[@dadslife6350]

Great review. Love Ellis. One big thing I felt was missed is the dealers keep their own tips and actually enjoy seeing you win. Even when I was losing, I had a great time

[@DanielSantana-mj8ol]

Congratulations on 200,000 subscribers. Keep the info going. Thank you.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you!

[@rohankarmarkar1933]

Breakfast sandwich and coffee at Via Foccacia is always a clutch start to the day. I've stayed here a couple times now and love it.

[@lucienleja]

My all time favorite to stay and for food...My wife and I always brought my dog Louie and he loved this place...

[@melissasmith8151]

I am getting the Elvis-themed room for my mother's birthday later this year. Thank you for this video :)

[@Oltigh42]

I stayed there a couple years ago, and the value for the week was amazing!!! Can't wait to get back in October!

Awesome!

Visited there for the first time last month, loved playing there, free parking was awesome, will definitely be back there in August

[@oliviacarr7533]

Over 200k! I remember before you had 20k!🎉 congrats!!

[@TheWokeWarlock]

I know this is an old video but it popped up for me today. I would love to stay at Ellis Island. I like the casino and location. Unfortunately, I just can’t. It’s too run down. If they remodeled the hotel and put some actual money into it, expand their pool deck etc…. I would definitely stay there. They are remodeling their Casino AGAIN but completely neglecting the hotel. I hear it is because they don’t feel they make much off the hotel and they choose to cater to locals. But it’s a missed opportunity because if they rebuilt the hotel they would stay full in my opinion.

[@dubdizzle3071]

Exactly

[@AlfredMacCallaIII]

Love Ellis island! I always visit here when in town and its consistently a great time.

[@SusanGK1]

Not a bad little place. Cleanliness is a must for me. I like staying on the strip but might stay here next time I come to Vegas.

[@Tommy2013-b7r]

Congrats on the 200k. I subscribed back after I first went to Vegas in 2013.... I remember you doing the Pawn Plaza when it opened back in the day.... All the best from Scotland....

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Gracias por tu apoya Carlos!

[@tommassarelli4014]

Great place to gamble! Close enough to the strip where you can walk. 5-dollar Black Jack, can’t find that on the strip. Great and accurate information. Thanks!

[@gtsiang0]

You totally understated how great the BBQ is there! I have been going there ever since way before the BBQ opened and it has been top-notch since day one. FYI, the lodging seems like a motel because it was a Super 8 motel for many years and the casino didn't have its own lodging. It is THE place for karaoke! Unfortunately, that means that you will wait at least 90 minutes in between songs if you are a karaoke veteran. I actually met my wife there 25 years ago!

[@MH_6160]

Great video, I love how you check the toilets…

[@lydiainvegas]

You had me at mini fridge in the room! Such a useful amenity that honestly should be standard in all hotels.

[@paulh2282]

It's standard at all Caesar's properties.

Never been there but would like to try next time we're in town. Thanx for sharing.

The Village Pub restaurant is awesome. The room looks nice and clean!

[@steveh4114]

Great Video ! ... Great beer ! $ .... A couple of years ago I stayed at Bally's (now Horseshoe LV) and this was just a long block away. Really enjoyed the beer and canopy open space and the $5 craps. ! I'll have to consider staying here next time, looks fun, for me ! 🙂

[@ChristineExplores]

Great video! And I’m used to the tent dwellers… I’ve been in Santa Cruz for about 6 years, and we’ve got them everywhere here too. I’m actually planning to move to the Vegas area later this year. Looking forward to exploring all the surrounding areas!

[@gppaula]

I was there for five nights in late May 2023 and was completely satisfied. The room was great. The restaurant food was basic but tasty and inexpensive.

[@jorgiessss]

Jace is a good friend thank you for shouting him out! 💖🥰

[@johndornoff]

Multiple electrical outlets by the desk are a bonus for me. I have stayed at so many hotels/motels that have done renovations but still have few if any power outlets near the desk where you are probably going to work at.

[@art40odd]

Hey Jacob, when I first came across your vids, I thought yeah, nah, weird, hmmm, oh, ahhh, and a few other things but now Im with the program,. Your channel is hugely enjoyable with great (in my opinion) objective views and information. Just awesome & thanks. BTW, we are coming Vegas in a few months for my third time and so looking forward to it. Those scams youve talked about in previous videos, I have learnt a few of them from personal experience and pleased it just wasnt me getting caught.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thanks Struan! I'm glad the videos help

[@brendabaldwin5857]

Excellent video Jacob! We haven't stayed or even visited Ellis Island in the many years we've visited Vegas but will make a point to next time! We enjoyed seeing the basic room you showcased and even though it's small, it's clean looking with the basic essentials one needs. We were shocked that Ellis Island actually has 5 places to eat/drink in their establishment - our recent stay at Main St. Casino only has one and it was closed during the week we were there, so that sucked. Love the fact Ellis Island is not a major corporation, still family owned which is inviting to us. Question for you..... have you visited the few rooms that have a balcony? I don't think anyone has showcased a balcony room at Ellis Island before, at least whom we watch. Do you know if the balcony rooms overlook the parking area?.... thanks for your great videos!

[@tonyamendivel2826]

Hi Jacob I love the Ellis island 🏝 my friend but haven't been there for few months due to construction 🚧 🙋‍♀️💕

[@tonydoinstuff]

I've had good experiences at the E.I. Love the free parking! So close to your room, too. Good cheap, beers. They used to give you a free growler with your room but looks like that's no more

[@mickmouse92]

Even though I had a bad experience with an employee on my last trip, I keep hearing about the food. The bbq I've been told is some of the best.. two separate taxi drivers said it's a good place to get food. I'll stop back in!

[@VIPBeasty]

Ive ate at the "Front Yard" and it was a cool experience. 😁🔥 loved that place esp brunch.
