Thanks for the review. We are headed there for a long weekend in April. Excited to try Top of the World restaurant and see their renovated rooms.

[@petersampson5202]

GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE 🙏

[@MrSwagnificentSpeaks]

Thank you for your detailed breakdown. I love it when people keep everything 100%. You definitely need to check out the hidden basement speakeasy at the Mob Museum in downtown Las Vegas. It’s free to get in. It’s called The Underground. I’m looking forward to seeing your video on it and you must order the old fashioned. The way they present it is unique. Have a great day.

[@Coolist]

I need to remember this next time I'm downtown. Making a mental note now 📝

[@MrSwagnificentSpeaks]

@@Coolist I am so happy to hear that you loved Beauty and Essex. It’s a must for me to eat there every time I’m in Vegas. I’m going to check out Vanderpump the next time I’m in Vegas. The bacon wrapped dates looked delicious!

[@laog1450]

New sub.. Great breakdown on everything. Waiting to go back soon, usually stay at the Plaza.

[@steelerbob1383]

We get comp rooms. We never spent A LOT of money gambling. We really appriciate it!!! We really love it there. You should see the show outside!!!

[@mikeess2780]

I really appreciate that you order multiple items when dining to provide decent representation of what a restaurant menu offers. That said, I'll submit that I, and perhaps most -- or even all -- of your viewers, would not feel slighted if you ordered fewer than four sandwiches when you visit a McDonald's. That inclusion made me laugh. The quality and detail of your content is appreciated.

[@Coolist]

It's really nice that you notice and appreciate I order multiple dishes because I do for the exact reason you mentioned. Of course, however, I don't mind eating and finishing all of them 😎

[@14sincere]

I love your videos and the breakdown thanks! I've never been inside strat because the area but I'll try out now... p.s. you know u basically paid for a vdara parlor room without a kitchen lol.

[@vincemerrell3993]

Your breaking the costs down to the $ is something I don't see anyone else do as well. Please keep it up - and it's good to see that properties off the main Strip are probably worth their weight in gold overall. Sahara, Strat ... not prime locations but if the room rates stack up, they may be better properties versus their prime Strip rivals. I think my next trip to Vegas will have me staying downtown though - last time I was there Golden Nugget was still on an uncovered street corner. I love what they've done based on what I've seen - really want to experience it first hand... Circa probably.

[@krisjonson9193]

Pomspie is a close second, he tells the hotel cost

[@Coolist]

Golden Nugget is on my radar. 💫

I’ve become a huge fan of your show purely due to how much I enjoy and respect how you think! Brilliant insights about the bigger picture.

[@Coolist]

I am humbled - thanks for writing that meaningful comment, Michael 🤝

Great stuff brother 🤙🏼

[@Coolist]

Thanks CC. 🙏🏻

[@chavez34cm]

@@Coolist you’re welcome brother 🤙🏼

[@elenarotestan5823]

183.00 for that room was an amazing deal. I do think the daily 42 hotel fee is extreme if the facilities are closed. You do eat a lot James 🤭 That hotel tower is nice to dine, not bad for 200.00 bill.

[@bigpapa2195]

An interesting series that i think would be up your alley would be spend a couple nights in a hotels cheapest room and then a night or two in a suite to compare

[@Coolist]

Yea - This will happen in the future

[@chuckh4077]

6:12 you forgot dessert. Warm butter cake was so good. Almont too much for just me. Easy to share.

[@marilynsue4273]

I just got back after 3 nites at the Strat: $37 room; $39.95 to $45.30 resort fee; $95.20 + $20 tip at Top of World (scallops and shrimp); next nite: $7 for two cheeseburgers at McDonalds; first nite $52.35 at McCalls (kansas city burnt tips and country scalloped potatoes). Starbucks: $6.34 for tall latte; $6.01 for a bottle of Pellegrino water. I did not have a penny so I got 99 cents in change. No gambling. Plus lavender elderberry martini at Lily Bar (Bellagio), and $8 for a 24-hour bus pass. Total $902.47.

[@brentnorquist2682]

Great review. My wife and I had an awesome dinner at the "Top of the World" several years ago. I think it was before they charged the $25 pp charge for a window table. We lucked out and came at the perfect time. We started with a daylight view of the strip. Rotated to see a beautiful sunset over the mountain and then finished with a great evening view of the strip at night. One question: How do you eat and drink "for two" and stay so fit looking? I'd be like 300 lbs!

[@shawnhillman8630]

Any thoughts on doing a stay at the two elite Station properties, Red Rock, and Green Valley Ranch? We had a great time hanging out at Red Rock.

[@davidsigalow7349]

We've stayed at both several times. They are both really nice.

[@bigtop14]

Never thought the strat was all that but it looks good it's just a shame where it is . Oh by the way I've found another secret bar in the Cosmopolitan its in the back of Superfrico.

[@Coolist]

I'm on the case 🕵🏻‍♂️

[@brivvy]

How do you eat so much? Each time I go to Vegas I have to struggle to eat two meals, but you getting meals for two and eating 4 sandwiches lol. You must workout a lot and have a high metabolism. I envy you 😄

[@ubertony4082]

That's an awesome breakdown ty. 🙏 How you eat and drink that much and pretty much gain 0 lbs. 😱 If I ate and drink that much, it's game over. 😂

[@davidsigalow7349]

Great video! Less than $200/night for that suite is a steal! It's not your "thing," but it should also be noted that the Strat has several modest- priced shows, including Illuminite and a Michael Jackson tribute show, as well as several thrill rides to keep one busy when the pools are not open.

[@Coolist]

I wanted to do the rides but it was just too cold and windy that day. And also I'm quite interested in the Michael Jackson show... All reasons to go back for another visit 👍🏼

[@davidsigalow7349]

@@Coolist Agreed. We wanted to see "Illuminite" earlier this month, but it was dark while were were in town.

[@chuckh4077]

Michael jackson show no longer at the stat. They moved to Tropicana

[@craigmk6]

Great video! Was that the most expensive room available?

[@Coolist]

Boulevard Suite

[@grottorabbit]

PT's looks cool. TGIFridays serves a cotton candy drink with more flair and the rib eye didn't appear to have any rib cap. With MGM Gold, I get free parking and now no resort/extort fees!

[@Coolist]

That exact drink may or may not end up on the channel soon 😎

[@davidsigalow7349]

I learned from another Vlogger that MGM will tier-match you to Gold (for the time being), so I took advantage of that. With no parking or resort fees, I might venture back to Aria.

[@grottorabbit]

@@davidsigalow7349 Yeah, I think it's Caesars Diamond they're matching to Gold, cool thing is you can park at any MGM Resort for free and hop around for free or you can ride the free trams from Bellagio down to Mandalay Bay, which will be extra sweet for Raiders games of any other functions at Allegiant Stadium, since MGM pretty much controls almost everything on that side of the strip.

[@austacking5353]

@@grottorabbit I just tier matched from cosmo gold to mgm gold

[@ThinkTravel1]

Im going to Vegas March 6. What do you think of the MGM Signature? Thanks 🙏 keep it awesome 😎

[@vincemerrell3993]

I guess you weren't asking me but my thoughts: I'm not a huge fan of MGM full stop. MGM Signature nearly got me on price per room last visit but Delano came in just cheaper and overall I prefer Mandalay Bay to MGM Grand. Also something to remember is MGM Signature is a fair trek from the main MGM Grand property.Depending on which tower you're in, Planet Hollywood is likely closer :)

[@RickelmiHerrera]

@@vincemerrell3993 thank you…is the Venetian in a good location on the strip?

[@vincemerrell3993]

@@RickelmiHerrera personal opinion is that it's a good location - visited it many times but I've not stayed there

[@jasongollihugh6196]

I was going to say this one your last video but your triple 7's were different colors. Different colors= small payout. Matching colors= much bigger payout.

[@travelmanMN]

What are your thoughts on it being way down on the strip and from what I've heard dangerous area at night? I've only been there once and that was about a week ago.

[@Coolist]

My thoughts are to stay inside and Don't go outside

Comment of the year contender 👍🏼

[@brian4407]

I vacationed in Medellin and got all that and more for half that

[@Coolist]

I often juxtapose Medellin and Las Vegas as they are such similar destinations and experiences.

[@brian4407]

Vacationing in the US doesn’t make sense to me anymore. When you see how much further your dollar goes in other countries it seems like everything is a rip-off here.

[@davidsigalow7349]

A bit of caution to extreme bargain hunters: while the "midpriced" rooms are decent if a bit small (like a room at a Fairfield Inn), I suspect that the really cheap rooms at the Strat may be in the tower that was the original Bob Stupak "Vegas World" hotel. Our host is way too young, but if there's anyone out there who's old enough (like me) to have had a Vegas World experience, I expect you'll agree. I'll share mine if you share yours!

[@tanyabrown6969]

Something about you reminds me of Jax Taylor

Hey man. This is the jerk that made the comment yesterday about trust fund. I just wanna apologize. I don’t know where that came from or why I said it couldn’t possibly be that you’ve worked hard or who knows. I’m jealous that’s my own problem I just don’t want to add negativity. I appreciate your content.sorry. When I reread my My comment this morning I was truly embarrassed.

HD. All good - you're not the first person to insinuate that. Maybe I just look really young 😎 Your Classy comment is appreciated and your mea culpa accepted. Glad you found the channel and are part of it.

[@robertramirez1082]

With the horrible emphasis every casino puts on Resort Fees. You would figure there would be abolutley no reason to not have 24/7 swimming pools fully staffed with lifeguards, and drinks in the entire city. $126.00 (which is cheap compaired to some other properties) from just one single customer is a ton of cash! Where does it all go? On floweres, and waxing theire own floors??? We all know it isn't on house keeping. After seeing some of these rooms! We get absolutly Zilch for that money. And winning $25 on triple 7's for $5 a pull What the?????? Good thing the Strat isn't that expensive. I know Vegas is a nice place, but they need to understand we are not all The Maloof Family trying to enjoy Vegas. It shouldn't cost as much as traveling to another country. I'm taking my family here in a week based on this, and a few other videos it seems like a good choice. It's no fun getting jacked out of your cash just to set foot in the front door of some of these places. Awsome video once again! I'm very greateful you're in the trenches of Vegas to bring us this knowlege! Thank You!
