I Dined at ALL 10 RESORTS WORLD Restaurants - Ranking Them 1-10

[@Coolist]

I saw someone that looked very familiar as I boarded my first-class flight to Vegas… He was a few people in front of me in line as we waited to board, but coincidentally as everyone entered the plane and found our seats, he and I were right next to each other (I’m ALWAYS window btw). Now I swear this guy is an NFL Hall of Fame running back, but I cannot be sure as he is wearing a hat and sunglasses (typical giveaway). To be forthright, situations like this happen all of the time and personally I’m anti-celebrity, but I think this was my favorite player growing up! But, me being me, I’m not going to ask, and I just order a drink and go to sleep so I can get some much needed rest before a huge Vegas trip. I wake-up to the plane touching down and as I slowly become coherent and start organizing my things, I notice the gentleman next to me is removing his bag from the overhead bin and it is the same leather bag I have! And on that bag was this - amzn.to/3HbN0nm - and at that moment I knew it was him. I said what’s up and asked him if he missed SD (San Diego), and he said “always.” The strangest thing was, this guy played for two NFL teams over his career, and actually won the MVP award and the Super Bowl for a different team - but that wasn’t the team he was repping on his bag. So, Who is he? Our Identical Bags are linked in the description by the way.

LaDanian Tomlinson?

[@Coolist]

Nope :) that's a decent guess tho

[@davidsigalow7349]

@@Coolist Oh well...

[@Omikoshi78]

Atleast you realized who it was right there and then. I one time had a 1 hr debate at a vegas bar with the owner/celebrity of a high end Japanese restaurant in Caesers. Didn't hit me until I left :(

[@larrybenton777]

Marcus Allen?

[@owenoone9445]

I live in Vegas and o frequent RW all the time. Thanks for the info. I’ll check out Wally’s.

[@blahblahh7249]

another great informative video thank you

[@gamblingAMF]

Please do this for Fountainbleu!!!

[@bigmike_palo8521]

Did you make reservations for these? Im going solo in April 2025 and I'm wondering if I have to make reservations if I get there early enough and sit at the bar.

[@KCTShark]

Cheers

[@whoisayou7498]

Can’t believe you liked Wally’s . I had lunch there once and thought it was pathetic

[@kisary4962]

O.J. lives in Vegas and when he visits the Carvery restaurant he always chooses at least 2 knives from the knife box.

[@cindymmm11]

Resort world is a great place to dine at. So many good restaurants. My favorite in LV.

[@jazzs2965]

I stayed at resorts world and was extremely disappointed with the front desk staff. Restaurants look good but are usually very empty!

[@TJ_Kirkland.]

Killing it man! 🔥

[@derrick8224]

I really enjoy your videos in assisting me with a 2023 Vegas trip. Thanks and hello from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦

[@Buk.Lit.888]

What is the dish on 7:07? Been trying to look at the menu and couldn’t find something similar

[@boehmer]

I appreciate this content. Switching up my stay to try and appease the wife. Staying at the Flamingo has gotten boring for her. I just have always liked being dead middle of the strip.

[@markf3229]

James from Australia. Love your reviews. Not long subscribed and will take me some time to get through most, especially Vegas. I hope to return there next year and doing my home work on your site will help heaps. Thanks. I was also womddring if you intend, (if not already) take a holiday in Hawaii. Your non bullshit reviews of Hawaii would be appreciated

[@Coolist]

Thanks for the kind comment bark and good luck on your adventure. I was born in Hawaii but I haven't been back since! It's at the very top of my life !

[@IPANoah]

I'm glad I just hit the Fuhu shack in the district instead of the main restaurant based on your reviews.

[@mistifeyed]

Now you said chic, but I see straight 80’s in that steakhouse lol. My aunt had that SAME floral-ish arrangement in the 80’s.

[@beckyjackson7755]

Great review of the top 10 at Resorts World.

[@arthur1985]

Thank you for the awesome review. Gave me some ideas

[@emmaler5657]

always producing the best content! Keep it up

[@edwinsimmons7148]

Simply Flawless!!

[@whoisayou7498]

Kusa nori is good.

[@cindymmm11]

Agree

[@ricardoalon3826]

Awesome review !!

[@codec666]

You realize those aren’t shark shadows…. They are Koi fish……

[@funkenstein1981]

Really enjoyed your RW series, staying at Crockfords this summer and it’s helped me plan my itinerary

[@thewesternmind]

Going in March to watch first 2 rounds of March Madness at the Sports Book at Wynn/Encore but staying at Resorts World. I love Wynn/Encore but I have been wanting to try Resorts World for a long time and have a comped room. Don’t know about the sports book at Resorts World so headed for Wynn/Encore for that. I can’t wait for the meals and your videos are the reason why. Thanks Brother for a great video!

[@lydiawilson2723]

You are amazing! How do you eat so much and stay so fit? Love the reviews. Keep `em coming.

[@WhereBeansBeen]

Great video! I just booked our room at the Conrad for four nights over Christmas. I watched several of your videos before making that decision. We go to Vegas to eat and have amazing food experiences mostly, so trying something different from center strip and trying out Resorts World was a no brainer. I really appreciate your videos and in depth reviews. After your absolutely glowing review, I can't wait to try Kusa Nori! Keep up the good work 😊

[@suitesandlobbies]

Great video as always, heading to Mandalay in January and looking forward to eating good!

[@bethanyarnp8852]

Where are you going to next in Vegas? There’s a lot happening north strip.

[@gorymarty56]

You have such a varied food palette. So adventurous. I just wish I could afford one of those places. Lol. Live it up

[@petersampson5202]

DEAR JAMES, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAVE THE BEST AND HAPPIEST HOLIDAY SEASON OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. RESORTS WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL. 🙏 SINCERELY PETER

[@Yolduranduran]

Thanks for the reviews. I know when RW first opened the dining experience seemed to be sub par. Glad to hear it has improved!

[@Coolist]

I couldn't imagine formulating judgements on a hotel until at least 12 months after grand opening. All hotels are horror stories for the first year. Sometimes the preceding isnt common knowledge, but it should be. Hotel Grand Opening = Enter at your own risk.

[@davidsigalow7349]

Thanks for doing the jobs most Americans just won't do! My initial impression of RW was negative, as it seemed like a big airplane hanger, but your reviews reveal that it has tried very hard to create inviting and stylish dining and drinking experiences in more intimate settings. I only wish I could eat and drink like you these days. Thanks again!

[@andysorensen1737]

Absolutely. I wasn’t sure what to think initially with RW, but it’s definitely a dining destination in its own right.

[@curly6619]

I'm a 20 year local. My husband has to work on my 40th bday in a couple of weeks :( SO I've decided to do a hotel restaurant crawl. I do love sitting at the bar and dining on my own like you do. My bday is on a Tuesday so options can be a little limited bc some good restaurants on the strip are not open Tuesdays. Was thinking of doing Caesars and then maybe walking over to Bellagio. What would you recommend? If you have time to answer of course. Regardless, new to your channel and loving it!

[@curly6619]

was thinking of doing: Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, Amalfi, and The Palm @ Caesar's then ending the night at Petrossian Caviar Bar @ Bellagio

[@Coolist]

I really struggle with questions like this. When people ask my my favorite movie or song I always respond with a director and genre of music because my brain doesn't like to crystallize so many options down to a single response. I think you're on the right track, and of course it all depends on Your style and what your prioritize - cocktails, food, vibe, experience, etc. Personally, I'd start at the Petrossian

[@loganlasvegas]

Why don’t you try Lip Smacking Foodie Tours. See youtube videos that take you to a handful of restaurants for an all inclusive price. Looks like a great experience to try a bunch of places. Happy bday.

[@Omikoshi78]

Next time you're at Resorts World can you look up the price of any Screaming Eagle? Just curious to see what their wine markups are. Generally the higher end wine gets the least markup multipliers.

[@ericburt1494]

James, another awesome review! I will be out this week to Vegas for 7 nights - and I have time for 3 epic dinners at RW. As per your guidance, I'm going to be trying out the Ribeye Cap at Carver, the Oysters at Kusa Nori, and now I will have to try the chicken at Wally's. Love your content - I always learn something interesting and valuable with each review Thanks again!

[@panjo]

nice list 👍

[@ramonc2983]

Resorts World is crooked. My wife took her first trip for our honeymoon to Las Vegas and they made it the worst experience ever. I was charged for room damage I did not do, and will stop at nothing to get my money back. I will ensure no one in my network including friends, family, and coworkers know what a horrible experience I had to ensure they stay far away from this place.

[@chriswilks4060]

James, Quick Q -unless I missed it, you really glossed over Brezza and I was really anticipating your in depth review (its on my 'to go' list...now Wallys as well) what happened because clearly you had a sub-standard meal.

[@bethanyarnp8852]

My husband would die and go to heaven if he saw that wine collection at Wally’s! I think there’s more wine in that restaurant than in all the stores in my city combined. Thanks so much, James. You hit on all the points we love most about vegas.

[@MACMAMI]

I'd say their high-end restaurant portfolio IS a bit superior to both Wynn/Encore and Aria considering your Resorts World stay produced a minimum of FOUR stand-alone restaurant reviews (possibly five if you'll have one for Genting Palace)................while I don't remember Wynn/Encore, Aria and Venetian/Palazzo even producing TWO yet (X-POT at the Palazzo, Mizumi at Wynn). You certainly can't go wrong with any of them and I'll keep coming back to each of them, but I now consider Resorts World tops in terms of high-dining portfolios. Bellagio may still have the ultra-ultra-elite crown, that said.

[@Coolist]

Smart... And yes I actually had to cut a few standalone restaurant videos out of production - Caviar Bar, Zazu and Genting Palace. I just wasn't comfortable with the way they came together, but I would've easily published them if I had stayed at ANY other hotel. That's how good the dining is at RWLV...

[@Coolist]

And yes, Bellagio is a tad isolated in its own unique dining niche as I find it both ultra-impressive and unparalleled while concurrently being bipolar and underwhelming.

[@MACMAMI]

@@Coolist Yeah, I understand how awkward that would have been just uploading seven stand-alone restaurant reviews from one resort. If anything, I was kind of surprised when I first encountered some of your other resort reviews that a few places like Mott 32, Cipriani and Carbone didn't get the stand-alone review honor. Although in fairness I don't think you started making stand-alone reviews right away with your Vegas content and the inspiration began a little later on. 🙂 Either way, the joy is that there's STILL places you haven't gotten to properly review on this channel yet that I feel can very well inspire stand-alone reviews in their own right, yaaaaaaaayyy! Like Wing Lei, for example. Or whatever Fontainebleau and Dream might have in store a year or two from now. Can't wait! 😇

[@Jesuisderetour87]

Errrrmagherrrrred!

[@ChefNikuman]

Great run-down, I definitely want to give Wally's a try!

[@Omikoshi78]

Fuhu also know as BooHoo when your wallet is raided for subpar food.

[@Krunchy71]

I always thought that the Wynn/Encore was the best place for restaurants in Vegas, but in my opinion they've grown a bit stale. Resorts World seems to have that freshness and energy that Wynn/Encore is lacking. A lot like Aria when it first opened up.

[@Coolist]

I for the longest time also had Wynn/encore and aria at 1 & 2 for dining in Las Vegas.

[@MACMAMI]

I feel Wynn/Encore have been willing to shake things up in terms of lounges and bars, but in terms of restaurants they've kind of rested on their laurels and stood pat. Many of them are still a joy to be sure, but for anyone who has already exhausted their dining lineup you pretty much know what to expect.

[@cindymmm11]

Same. Wynn/Encore used to be my favorite in LV to dine. Now, Resort World is my favorite place to dine.

[@whoisayou7498]

Yeah fuhu is terrible. Place sucks

[@DGProduction777]
