@@Snakeshit294 I watch a handful of couples who do this and have never seen them order the amount of food that Shin does . It might be a tax write off but he still puts the money out. Let him have the compliment.!!!

I love the way you are giving honest reviews instead of saying everything is delicious and tasty. People will trust you more if you give truthful reviews so thank you. Plus I think every restaurant could use some constructive criticism. That’s how they improve. Oh and it’s so nice that you are taking food home to enjoy later instead of tossing it out. Great video.

[@VegaswithShin]

Thank you! I just call it like I taste it, and admittedly I'm not a picky eater. I've had plenty of videos where I thought everything I ate was good as well. But it's hard to find a restaurant in Vegas where I don't like most of the food. Thanks for watching!

Last year I waited 3 hours and gave up before I could get in, tips on how to get in would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. It's hard for me to hit the lobster buffet as I do have a day job and by the time I get off work I probably wouldn't make it in.

Shin I've got to gig you for this over priced place. Onion Rings $13 omg 😲? I just bought Vidalia Onion ( the best sweet Onion from Georgia) for a $1.29, no frigging way labor & O/H costs anywhere near $12 dollars. And Chicken at $33 did I see that correctly, ar my Sam's Club I bought a freshly made one for $4.99. LV is nice but it has become a tourist trap for the dumb & well-off just my opinion. Find us those hidden gems 💎 please. BTW food did look good.

[@VegaswithShin]

I don't know if there are any cheap food gems on the strip at this point. I cover most cheap eats in my $10 or less short series. Priority in terms of what I cover is always new restaurants first. New restaurants open a lot in the summer and fall so that's what you'll see on the channel primarily. As new restaurant openings slow down for the year, I look to restaurants that have been around. Thanks for watching!

[@algernon5776]

@VegaswithShin I realize nothing on the "Strip" but some hidden gems outside of that area accessible by bus or other transportation means. But thanks for the response

Oddly enough, I've probably lost about 15 lbs since starting KZbin. On the days I record, what you watch me eat in the video is usually what I've eaten for that day.

​@@VegaswithShin LOOKING GOOD 👍

[@chuck32504]

Love the MENU part. You get a real understanding why it is important to make sure you get your comps while you play at the Casino especially tables. Those prices are epic but it serves a purpose on making sure any comp dollars you have get spent real quick. I mean 18$ for a Giant Pretzel? That pretzel better float in my mouth unassisted for that price but if you have comps you don't care. So that's my point. DONT GO HERE with your AMEX go here with your players card.

[@papagen00]

yes but how much money do you need to blow at the gaming tables before you get comps for a $200 meal? probably cheaper just to pay the restaurant bill given how low the casino payouts are nowadays.

[@VegaswithShin]

A lot of convention goers also frequent Vegas and are putting these meals on company credit cards who just write it all off anyways. It's just tough on the average tourist coming to Vegas for a weekend with food prices as high as they are. Thanks for watching!

[@John_Wick..959]

Those prices are stupid! How many Michelin stars does their Head Chef have? It’s cheaper to eat at any Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants.

[@VegaswithShin]

I didn't look into it but I doubt they have any Michelin stars. It's about on par pricing wise as Gordon Ramsay Burger but you can certainly eat much cheaper at his Fish and Chips restaurant for sure. Thanks for watching John!

[@John_Wick..959]

Hey Shin you do a great job! Its the price gouging that has gotten out of control.

[@Zalen88]

do to take the food home what you cannot eat there or do you just toss it? With these bills, I hope you are getting enough from YT to cover the costs.

[@VegaswithShin]

Yes, I take home everything I can and typically eat leftovers for the next two-ish days. KZbin ad revenue does cover a fair bit now and as long as I'm not doing a $500 steakhouse video. I think I'll probably start running in the black next year but I do save some money by not needing to buy food a few days after I do one of these videos. Thanks for watching!

[@edharris8761]

You should have evacuated and the meal would have been free. Was there 2 months ago and had you done this vid back then, I never would have stopped in. As in your video, it' all bar food at 50x the price. While I agree the wings are good, at $3 a wing, it makes it not good. Didn't do dessert, but had a $280 experience for 3 that was worth maybe $50. I think the bartenders are from the casinos because it's all bitters no booze. Good thing you didn't pay that price for one, you can get a free one with 3 spins on a slot. As much as I wanted to like it, I wouldn't ever go back. The server kinda gave off that vibe, where you know it's gunna be bad, but they want the tip and it's not their fault lol. She gave warnings on some menu items. Bad meal but good tip for her!
