Harrah's Staycation - New Makeover and Looking Good!

Harrah's Hotel and Casino on the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip just reopened its doors on June 5, 2020, and they are proudly unveiling a $200 million makeover! We just had to run over there for a quick overnight stay, to check out the newly remodeled Studio room - and it was a beauty! The hotel lobby, casino floor, and restaurants have gotten some touchups too - join us for an overnight stay at the new-and-improved Harrah's.

New Sunday routine: wake up early, pour a cup of coffee, watch Paula and Dale 🎰

[@robertmarangi6220]

Thats my wife plan.. her sunday ritual. She trying to convince me

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL and we are here for it!!!

[@gavinp5229]

Guys, as always a terrific vlog. Dale, your video editing, narration and score is tops. The whole vlog is put together like a professional with many years of experiance and lets not forget Paula's input and script prep. To both of you, well done, we know its a lot of hard work. Julie and I dont miss any of your vlogs hear in the darkest of places, South Africa. At least, we can see how beautiful it is on your side of the world. Take care...

[@paulamckenzie]

Gavin, this is a really lovely comment, and I actually read it out loud to Dale - so complimentary! Yep, we know it is dark over there right about now, so just hang out with us in Virtual Vegas until the days start getting a little longer over there... :)

[@alexisanalynn]

Could these two be any cuter??!? ...NO! So professional. The background music, the comments, the angles of the filming. Very well done informational video. And they are so cute together!

[@paulamckenzie]

You made my day! Great comment, thank you ☺️

[@vickikirks9959]

Wow! Looks awesome @ Harrahs. Love this 💜

[@davidsutcliffe6877]

Thanks so much guys , really enjoyed it 👍

[@ld7873]

Upgrades look fantastic and a visit to carnaval court is a must - one of my favorite spots everytime I'm in Vegas.

[@chaitanyabattula5579]

[@bambamrubble6310]

Holy smokes...that 200 million was well spent! Beautiful! I’ve been yearning to move to the Las Vegas area for several years now. Every time I view one of your awesome staycation videos it reminds me why I long to be there. 😁 Terrific job as usual 👍

[@paulamckenzie]

First off, I love your KZbin handle :) And if you are yearning, maybe it's time to check into it, get that plan in motion...

[@michelet3039]

ENVY...thank you for sharing one of my favorite towns.

[@starkiller18]

video was great as always. I always enjoy your positive tone and attitudes in your videos especially with everything going on this year. I do like those room renovations they did. it seems really fresh and nice.

[@mrvegasvic]

Thank you for taking me to places I've never visited. You look so relaxed and natural and at ease before the camera! Keep it up.

[@vwbugchic1961]

I'm liking what I'm seeing thanks to you too another great video 👍

[@jasonkniss5999]

The discovery of Dale and Paula just made my day. I love their authenticity - a very welcome change in the youtube landscape. I cannot rave enough about how much fun Carnival at Harrah's was when my friend and I were in Vegas last summer. The locals recommended it for a great cover band and it was the most fun evening we had on the strip.

[@alistairmair35]

Thanks from Scotland love Vegas can't wait till am back

[@djmuchomartinez4341]

I just discovered your channel & enjoy your footage, info & the two of you have very voices so it's more enjoyable. Congratulations on 10 thousand, keep up the good work.

[@kristenjones5527]

Congratulations guys! That's my favorite part if the strip. Love the promanade! Can't wait to come back.

[@paulamckenzie]

We hope to see you soon - that Linq Promenade is the best addition to the Strip (in my opinion) in the last 10 years!

[@PurplePinkRed]

They did an amazing job on the renovations - Purple is my favourite colour! I find it gives a touch of elegance and relaxation to any room. Thank you so much for doing a video on it. Absolutely love your content, as always 😊

[@paulamckenzie]

I love the purple too, and they added a touch of blue as well - big thumbs up from me. And thank you for always being so supportive, and saying such lovely things. :)

[@clozzie01]

Just love watching and listening to you both! Thumbs up👍🏼

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww thank you so much! 😊

[@ALi-bn6bf]

You two were so good at keeping us entertained during the “shutdown” that I forgot how much I missed your posts on the strip and in the hotels. Great post. It’s nice to see Las Vegas start to wake up again!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you for watching us, no matter what we put up on this channel!! :)

[@christophercampbell7652]

Looks like a great time. My first trip to Vegas was here.

[@clintholder4669]

Always a Pleasure to see you guys !!!

[@paulamckenzie]

We are just glad you are out there still looking for our stuff :)

[@annieis300]

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much, we couldn't have done it without you...

[@texadonkey34]

I was missing y’all. Thought I would watch this video. Always such a treat and I learn something new every time.

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww thank you, for missing us and choosing to rewatch something, that's so sweet! :) Nice new kitchen episode for you today - Thanksgiving dinner.

[@rudyprankl5676]

Another Staycation ! GREAT ! Thanks again for bringing us all along ! Best to you both ! Thanks Rudy and Kat !

[@paulamckenzie]

[@mailesagiao6225]

I would definitely consider booking @ Harrah's after watching this video vlog!!! More importantly congratulations on 10K. Well deserved well earned Dale & Paula Viva Las Vegas

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Neil! We are ever grateful for every single subscriber. :)

[@frankcolonna6279]

tHANK YOU and keep up the great work that the two of you are doing. Hope everything is going well in Las Vegas since things have started to re-open. God Bless Always.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Frank - more resorts opening in the next week, so fingers crossed the tourists will start to return as well. :)

[@BMacMac-gg3um]

New to the channel, ty for sharing your latest visit to LV.

[@MrYosssup]

very impressed with the room, they did an excellent job indeed

[@paulamckenzie]

I especially liked the color scheme - big thumbs up.

[@debbiethompson8527]

Enjoyed this. Congrats on 10k!

[@paulamckenzie]

Many thanks...

[@cindycialkowski382]

Thanks, for the video. Will be at Harrah's in Sept. First time I stayed there was in 1973, and many times since than. Love the Linq area also.

[@paulamckenzie]

It's still a great spot, hope your trip is great, and by Sept, hoping much more is open!

[@selectshelley]

What a surprise on the bathroom door. Wow.

[@JKStayinVegas]

Another great video, from our favorite Vegas Couple. 💜😉😊💜

[@frankcolonna6279]

Harrah's is a spot we have stayed at for years. Glad to see that they finally did a great renovation of the property, because it was really starting to look run down. Thank You for your time and talents in showing us this property. Hope Dale had a Great Birthday earlier this month.

[@paulamckenzie]

You are most welcome - we had a great day/stay there, truly. Highlights were the time at Carnaval Court (that bartender was ace), and of course the Linq.

[@teresahriljac6931]

Had the best evening at Harrahs when our daughter bought us tickets to the Righteous Brothers. Lovely memories of our holiday from down under. Thanks guys you just keep bringing us so many awesome clips.👍🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@paulamckenzie]

I think I may want to go see that show when it starts up again - especially if you liked it. We hope you can come visit from Down Under, sooner rather than later. :)

[@28farmall]

Wow you got a steal! I am so happy to hear they’ve renovated. The casino was very old and tired when I was there not too long ago. Looking forward to seeing this! Thank you for sharing this adventure!

[@paulamckenzie]

When we heard about the big redo, that's why we wanted to go check it out. We all love "makeovers", don't we?

[@juliethompson821]

I've never been inside Harrah's so thank you it was great having a look. You are really recording some snapshots of our social history right now with your post lockdown videos!

[@paulamckenzie]

I think the same thing, it's history, and I am glad we are capturing it. Thanks for watching :)

[@johnqpublic912]

Congrats on the 10K!! Love the new intro! Your editing is getting better and better with each video!

[@paulamckenzie]

You could not have said anything better to Dale - he is constantly working on his editing skills and toolbox, and he will love this comment. :)

[@beckymac7150]

Great informative video. The new rooms are really appealing. As soon as Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill reopens we are going. Which I hope is soon. Until then stay safe.

[@dfair]

Another GREAT video!

[@danielonn2002]

Love your VLOG!! I am one for a last minute Staycation. If i lived in Vegas I would be staying on the strip very often!

[@traceynewdeck8526]

What a beautiful room. I've always thought of Harrah's as being budget but it looks really chic. Lovely to see the walkthrough too and I got hungry seeing those menu's. As always thank you, great video X

[@ITSPRIME2]

Tracey Newdeck stayed there in January and loved it going back this weekend! Harrahs is perfect after the renovation

[@stevereeves6906]

Congrats on your 10,000 lucky subscribers! I love your vids, very informative, lively, positive and a wide range of topics and locales. Not to mention well-edited and shot. Definitely sharing this and thanks for all you do, even on work-nights! :)

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Steve, what a complimentary post! :)

[@loi-lol_0l222]

Congratulations to Paula and Dale🙏💕

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww thanks - we are still just amazed at how this little channel just keeps growing :)

[@JeckenKlaaf]

Dale, You make so wonderful Las Vegas videos!

[@maryannmanning174]

Another fabulous staycation video. They are my favorite. I would never think to stay at Harrahs but now I have changed my mind! Keep bringing these videos, I love them! Also 10k subscribers!, Woohoo! Congratulations!👏🏻👏🏻👍😎

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you, we are pretty excited too! :) We are happy to do these little discovery staycations, because we too are surprised in a really good way at what these more reasonably priced hotels have to offer.

[@polarbear353]

Congratulations you two on achieving 10k, well deserved. The piano outro was magnificent.

[@paulamckenzie]

Oh thank you very much - Dale will be so happy to see this. :)

[@LasVegasandBeyond]

Really enjoy the new Opening, but I’m sure I’ve already said that ☺️. Another quality video. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Like the camera work, too.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you. 😊

[@paulamckenzie]

We love it that you feel like you’re right there with us - exactly what we are going for! 👍

[@robertwoods9370]

Just booked the studio for a great price for my birthday...

[@claudiolunardi4240]

Thanks for a great video. Good memories for my wife and I as we stayed at Harrah's in October 2017. A great location on the Strip. Greetings from Oz.

[@paulamckenzie]

Hello down in Oz - and we are glad to have brought back good memories for you two. Hope to welcome you back sometime. :)

Congratulations on 10,000 followers! We love you guys! CAB :)

[@paulamckenzie]

We feel the love, thank you!

[@howardn]

Thanks. Your video led me to choose Harrah’s for my return to Las Vegas for a short visit next week. Staying in one of suite rooms like you did. Looking forward my stay. You two are the best!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much for watching! We hope you have a great time while you're here :)

[@vickigibson8567]

I’m so glad you covered Harrahs! This was the first place I stayed and will always be very special to me ❤️ thank you for bringing back very fond memories. And congratulations on the 10,000 followers! Love you guys!

[@paulamckenzie]

We are glad too! We were really pleasantly surprised at everything there, and the people who work there are terrific. I totally know what you mean about the first place being special - nice to know they are taking good care of it, keeping it fresh and updated. :)

[@ITSPRIME2]

Sameee

[@gregorynemecek630]

Another fantastic vlog by Dale and Paula really enjoyed seeing the newly renovated Harahs hotel and casino such a great location hotel looks fantastic just another option to stay at on one of our next Lasvegas vacations thank you so much for sharing great job guys

[@paulamckenzie]

Hi Greg....we had fun with this one, kind of a whirlwind, but honestly it was a terrific stay. :)

[@veemota]

My girlfriend Suzette is your guys biggest fans she adores your videos and rewatches then every single morning! You guys are the best and your videos are much appreciated can’t wait for future content

[@paulamckenzie]

Well many thanks to both you and Suzette, for being such wonderful supporters of our channel! ❤️

[@cogaz]

I love the location of Harrahs! Congrats on the 10k! Keep the videos coming!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you - we are grateful for each and every one :)

[@markcrooks2455]

Look you kids did it. I knew you'd make 10,000 subscribers! It will just grow from here. Thanks for the stay(day)cation. I had no idea the rooms at Harrah's were that nice. Also that BBQ place looked amazing. Paula I'm with you. There's nothing I like more than BBQ brisket. I'm going to have to give it a try. Thank you so much for the effort you two put into making these wonderful videos.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you Mark - you have been coming along on our adventures for a long time now, and we appreciate you! As for Virgil's, and the brisket - I cannot say enough how terrific it was. Truly superb, put it on your to-do list.

[@walterlv01]

Harrah's is kind of the forgotten property along the Strip - it doesn't get talked about a lot, it's always kind of "just there". But they do a good job of upkeep and maintaining the standard expected of a mid-range Strip hotel. They deserve lots of kudos for that.

[@paulamckenzie]

I agree with you completely on this. And given our personal experience at Harrah's a few months ago, I would absolutely stay there again.

[@thescentsophisticate8865]

Perfect location! and you guys got a nice room there!

[@paulamckenzie]

Agree, yes! :)

[@deliverancetwo]

This video is amazing. Love it so much!! 🤗😘

[@paulamckenzie]

Come visit Harrah's! We loved being able to literally step outside to Carnaval Court (live music on weekends nowadays), and then a few steps more over to the Linq Promenade. Big thumbs up.

[@vegasthriftsister9077]

I’m thrilled that I just discovered your entertaining and informative channel! I now have lots of great videos to view! 😉🎰

[@paulamckenzie]

You DO! We have been out there for a year and a half, at least one video per week, so that's quite a catalog for you to get through. Thank you for watching! :)

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

Enjoyed this! Harrah's is definitely on the list of places to stay. We have been through there often, but had not stayed, so thanks for the room review. The Pizza looked great! Your videos are so great! Thanks for sharing!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you for always leaving such nice comments! Happy travels out there...

[@davidberryman9688]

You’ve added more class to your videos with an opening segment. Nice touch and very well done! That was a very entertaining production, kinda strange that you had to seek outside the hotel for dinner though. It’s a good thing your efforts were not in vain thanks to the BBQ place. Thanks for taking us along on your short venture. Waiting in anticipation for your next masterpiece.

[@paulmcclelland645]

Congrats on 10k. You deserve it. We have decided reluctantly to stay at home this year but booked 10 nights for May 2021 to have something to look forward to. Counting the days - well months unfortunately.

[@gatewayz75]

Thank you, it looks great at Harrah’s

[@eltrunyocayo]

The fact that resort fees cost almost the same as the room fees is appalling!

[@wadeatkinson4766]

$50. Lol. No thanks. $50 for a bbq meal too is high. Guess I will continue to eat at Panda and food courts when there.

[@mikeyh0]

If you have a Diamond card or above there are no resort fees. The rooms are usually comped, too.

[@paulamckenzie]

Well the resort fees are a constant, you pay the same whether the room is $20 or $200 lol...the fact that the room itself was 65 bucks is what sold it for us.

[@princedumaran5714]

going there next month and I got the room for $9 a night, resort fees cost 5x more than the room!

[@alexfranklin3502]

TheSweetLife70 They do that for their tax purposes. This way they only have to claim cost of the room. Smart business.

[@reviewithme9913]

Thank you for this helpful tour

[@paulamckenzie]

You're welcome - we strive to provide content that we think would help a prospective visitor. Thanks for watching :)
