Been watching for over a year now, need to give a huge kudos to Jacob for uping the production quality after every video!

[@russt9478]

Agreed! Maps, text, screenshots. Nice little touches. Hopefully the other vloggers will follow and push

[@laidbackphil]

To me Jacob is the best Vegas blogger, and that is saying something because there are many great ones. I love how he gives us the good bad and ugly of Vegas. Great resource before or trip to Vegas a couple of months ago.

[@rogerrosen2323]

they dnt have that race slot anymore in atlantic city smoking is horrible for the workers and others

[@rogerrosen2323]

i think william hill is owned by cesars now they still use their name though william hilll is the vendor providing the sports book

[@StS9LBJ23]

I’ve been following Jacob for 6-7 years and he’s improved his channel every year. He knows what we want.

[@TheVictorCruz]

I'm so glad The Plaza is finally getting the love it so desperately needed. All the newer updates and upgrades are absolutely welcome and needed. A bit of the classic style still remains but the newer additions helping keep it fresh. BTW, in my opinion Oscar's is absolutely top notch. The best crab cake I ever had outside of Maryland. (I literally cried when I took my last bite cuz I KNEW it was over and I'd never have it again until the next visit..) Another excellent video, my man.

[@dcmidnight]

Its so funny, I guess I'm the only one that found Oscars completely overrated. Maybe I just hit it on a bad night. But I've been to 15-20 steak places around the city and I'd hit them up again before going back to Socars.

[@TheVictorCruz]

@dcmidnight or maybe we hit it on an EXCELLENT nite. Lol. Honestly the tomahawk steak was decent but that crab cake was perfection. Maybe give it another go...??

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you Rick!

[@JohnBarney-yd2wq]

I live in Baltimore. I may have to try the crab cake there!

[@TheVictorCruz]

@JohnBarney-yd2wq also...do a search from the Crab Corner in Vegas. It's off the strip, but they have as authentic Maryland crabs, chips, and fries as you can get!! They fly in blues weekly. Just like being in Ocean City! Lol.

[@phillybm]

I stay at The Plaza every year when I visit Las Vegas. I enjoy the location on Fremont Street (The Strip is too busy and crowded for me) and the vibe is just right. I'll be back there next month and can't wait to see the improvements made. Thanks Jacob for the review!

[@dawg2h2k31]

Putting out the table minimums like you did is great! Thank you.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

You're welcome dawg! I figured it would be helpful

[@LgIdaho61]

In 1995 my family and I went down there and stayed at the Plaza. We came down about 6 times between 1995 and 2008. We stayed at Plaza 5 out of the 6 times. It was nice. My aunt would book the rooms 410 and 412 so we could see the Nightly shows on the big experience from our rooms. It was great

[@Joeybadabang]

Thanks for showing the only non-smoking casino in Downtown LV and keep up the good work

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you Joey! I will certainly will. I appreciate the super thanks!

[@SheilaStuart]

There are still 4 floors of hotel rooms for smokers and the casino is still smoking although they have added on to the casino with a non smoking room.

[@entezami777]

@@SheilaStuarti like smoking. My GF hates it. So we can stay at the same casino and play in different areas

[@davejohnson3684]

Jacob, Great production. The fastest twenty-one minutes on You Tube. Your videos are the "Go To" if you're planning a vacation in Las Vegas. Thank You!

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

I appreciate it Dave!

[@onedollah49]

Your effort to make interesting and humorous videos is appreciated. Thank you Jacob

[@chriskempczenski9121]

About 5 years ago I brought my family to the Plaza for a one night stay. Fortunately for us the front desk made a mistake in our reservation. As it turned we were given the suite. We so surprised! The hotel has evolved over the years especially since they added the Carousel Bar and PinkBox. My husband and I will be staying there in November. Looking forward to it!

[@mediaxpuppet]

I love the plaza. I've stayed there many of times and it remains on my occasional rotation. First time I stayed there around 2001 it was getting really run down and kind of a grandma casino. I stayed in the north tower rooms shortly after they were "renovated" using the furniture from the original defunct Fontainebleau auction. I love every tweak and refresh that has happened in the last few years, especially the carousel bar. The murals on the hotel tower are cool and i love that they maintain all the twinking lights better than they used to. Im glad to see her in such good shape.

[@1daful]

Ironically, I was just thinking about booking a room at the Plaza, then your brand new video pops up lol.

[@PandaBearJer]

big shoutout to the editing in this video. videos are getting better and better keep up the great work

[@bigdofba]

My grandparents took me to Vegas for the first time in 1991 when I was only 7 years old and this is the place we stayed…been hooked ever since. Lol

[@washingtonlue]

Thanks for doing .....What you do! Many of your viewers appreciate the honest point of view. Keep up the good work.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thank you! There's definitely more to come!

[@richardsmoot7827]

Your channel is so much better now .... Big differance from a few years ago thanks

[@kevinc.6653]

Good job Jacob I always enjoy your vids but today I thought you did great. Very fluid and good photography

[@svanlunddesign]

Another great video. Great shots and a lot of interesting information. Thanks! 🖤🖤🖤

[@boomertuber8878]

Comprehensive review Jacob! THANKS

[@dennisaugustine6544]

Jacob! Bravo! 🎉 Your videos are only improving as the years go by! Thanks for putting in so much time and energy into delivering great content for us all! Cheers!

[@spacetek1]

of all your channels this is the best. thanks. big fan of the quality work you do. P.S. i loved the picture of Fremont street back in my day. I miss driving downtown while drinking a cold beer. lol

[@hjb6713]

Very good review and coverage of the Plaza.

[@markeidt6404]

Very informative and thorough coverage of The Plaza. Really enjoyed viewing it. Well done.

[@yoyo67279]

Another great one

[@robertlemoine3500]

You are very good at this Jacob , thank you .

[@aguilobo]

Best part about The Plaza was getting to meet Jacob there in March! Thanks for taking the time to talk to my mom and say hi to us at Sand Dollar.

[@mariannestephens8500]

Yes bingo plaza is the place to play Thanks for finally showing the bingo halls

[@donnabolton1870]

Very detailed review of the Plaza. Excellent video ! Thanks Jacob

[@diane5454]

Great production! I loved it.

[@scottwegher7327]

Wow. That was a awesome Vlog. Great job Sir. Thanks

[@snowbelt]

LOVE all of your content...Pls give some love to Suncoast Casino...my favorite casino/hotel when I visit Vegas!! Huge rooms, and clean!

[@kevinconnor3187]

I love that signage, so cool!

[@russell6006]

Awesome video and great editing

[@libby3111]

Love these videos. I totally know what I am getting at these casinos when I watch your videos.

[@doug564]

Great review! 😉👍

[@Beachdudeca]

Jacob nice comprehensive insight of the Plaza , also cool Gym

[@rickb5946]

Another cool and informative video. Very well done also. I have been watching you for several years. Looks like you have made a pretty good life for yourself in Vegas. Congrats this shows what hard work can bring a person.

[@sammapalo7262]

Jacob another OUTSTANDING VEDEO

[@AmbientWalking]

Oh! What an amazing way of seeing the world! Thanks for this new experience!

[@JamesHughes1]

When I arrive in Vegas from the Uk in November, I hope to shake your hand for all the advice youve gave through your channel.

[@thomasralabate5645]

Thanks Jacob for the clear, concise and informative content on The Plaza. I will be visiting this Fall and splitting up my stay between The Plaza and The Elara Hilton.

[@mastersamguy]

wow that opening was amazing

[@mattnovotny6888]

Jacob, I've been watching for a while and I just gotta say your production quality has vastly improved, like anything the more time you spend doing something (editing) the better you get at it and I'm here for it man! Editing is a thankless job that most people don't even consider but I appreciate the extra effort.

[@friendoffriendless1408]

Transition from room to the lobby was amazing.

[@woodrowbunopaddle]

I agree with the editing as well. My issue with most of the Vegas KZbinrs is content. While the editing is top notch ,they are all running out of content ,and it shows

[@EASTCOASTNATURE]

great video quality my friend. keep it up!

[@jaimetavares6479]

Great video man! For us it was between this place and the Linq and we chose here due to value and now seems like the right choice. Thanks!!

[@letshunt8992]

Nice tour Jacob. Keep up the good work…..

[@gregflip5938]

just those shots of Jacob reacting to the ATM fees makes my day 🤣

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

😂

[@kab7184]

Love your into!

[@TommyVs33]

thumbs up for the great intro with good music!

[@timothyrill3825]

That was a great review. I felt you showed it, good and not so good. You showed everything if not for the sloppy house keeping, would be a great budget stay and many unique options. I would definitely stay there on my next trip. Thank you for a great review. 😊

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thanks Timothy! Glad you enjoyed it

[@marstondavis]

Such a poor experience at El Cortez last March ('23) that I'm now looking for a new place to stay Downtown. Guess I'll try the opposite end of Fremont St. and stay at The Plaza. Thanks for an honest review.

[@nicholaskoffler294]

had my best black jack hand ever at the plaza ended up splitting like 6 aces in a row and won all of them

[@Parker-Green]

Love your hotel videos!

[@chrismaher2675]

We booked a room there last minute online for $34 and did the $20 trick and got upgraded to an amazing suite. Absolutely loved the vibe there and this video really brought back some great memories for me. Thanks legend 👍🏼

[@themasterrogerdelgado]

Nice clean cheap room. Good to know! Thanks Jacob

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

i really like those vintage photos

[@juliejensen7370]

❤ Luv the old time Plaza pool photo!

[@brianmalin71]

Great video,

[@kagnewcobra5228]

"32" TV" LOL I never realized they made em that small!

[@klauswarmuth2007]

Thank you Jacob

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

You're welcome Klaus!

[@mariaday712]

Great video Jacob. I got a kick out of the pink box donut shop. Oscar's sounds really good. It's good to go downtown and get off the strip for a while. Thanks for doing such a good job with your videos. I always find them informative and fun at the same time. Take care.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

Thanks Maria 😀

[@michaellovelace8995]

Staying there in a couple weeks, great video

[@michaelkrais1446]

Jacob, I think that you honestly enjoy doing videos like these because you do them so well. I enjoy seeing the different types of resorts and the locations. More than anything though is the fact that I love your honest feedback about your stay. Much like the way that any of us could go through during the same visit in the same resort. You should do the fountain view room at the Cosmopolitan. It has an outdoor balcony that looks out over the fountain show.

[@JacobslifeinVegas]

I appreciate that! Thank you Michael 👍

[@scottkwidzinski6658]

Nice Review. Stayed there many times over the past couple years, solid place. Concur with your impressions. Notably, only place downtown with single Zero roulette, drops house advantage significantly from 5.8% (double zero) to just 2.4%.(single Zero). Use your players card while playing games - Plaza is liberal with comps and food discounts. Host Ashley is awesome. Plaza is making an effort lately, and it shows. Similar to Grand Downtown Resort - also stepping up their game. All great news for downtown. Very useful video. Thanks, Jacob

[@packerfan10]

I loved that horse racing game I noticed that at the Plaza it pays out a little better compared to the D also the double round comes out more often I noticed when its full of people playing it.

[@Alyoop137]

That intro and song!! 😍

[@oldcrow1899]

I've stayed at the Plaza a handful of times. I find it to be a refreshing change from the crush of the strip. Thanks for a balanced review.

[@doreenc4079]

Honorable mention to Brian Christopher slots for his non smoking slots area!

[@milwaukeemotor5995]

kewl pick in the pool and the background

[@harlemvasquez2759]

👍 Great videos.

[@aaronhatch1226]

I love the Plaza! Gym and pool are great! Some of my favorite times in Vegas has been at the Sand Dollar Lounge. The noise from trains and/or Fremont street are the only downsides. Absolutely a favorite

[@jmichaels4228]

Bro that intro music is dope AF!!!!!!!

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

We had the lime popsicle donuts from the Plaza's Pink Box. Excellent!

[@Biggp71]

Love the Plaza!

[@staciodell9186]

Stayed at Plaza last year for my bday.. since then I've been back twice more on comps. It's much more laid back than the strip. Can't wait to get back and visit with the new updates..pinkbox looks amazing, and Hash House is always great!

[@jmichaels4228]

The entire damn soundtrack is some🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jaysonozog7339]

Jacob’s drawstring bag needs its own YT or IG channel. 🎒

[@e815usa]

We need a link to the drawstring bag!

[@jh3tskibrave939]

I saw (Aug 2nd around 1pm) you yesterday at the Forum Food court by Caesar’s… Thank you for making videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@noveaubleu8716]

Production value 100%

[@chloeconniecarlton328]

Another Great Presentation,,by,,Jacob😉

[@stevenjohnson9753]

Like the photo shots

[@Catdaddyacab]

What the heck! That hotel gym alone has me sold! I’ve never seen such a cool gym at a hotel. When I stayed in downtown I usually do the little walk to the 24 hour fitness.

[@michaelmichniak127]

I haven't stayed at the Plaza since it was owned by Jackie Gaughan many moons ago. At that time it was a bit of a dump, but a great value for cheap rooms and food. I will be staying there again Aug 20th for three nights and your video shows that it still seems to be a good value.......only much cleaner! Thank you Jacob for the great tour!

[@transitdude3352]

You’re like a human Vegas 24/7! Great videos, great information! 😊

[@lindavista1776]

You are awesome, Jacob, thank you! Haven’t visited since 2021, but might be back there during our 25th wedding anniversary, next year!

[@williamroberts8768]

Plaza is a good hotel to retirees and couples on a budget. Plaza does provide ear plugs for rooms facing Fremont St.

[@kosekdemel]

Good video.

[@EPiche09]

Great flick, great fricken flick

[@tims4694]

Thank for the video; it's pretty clear that they have put some money into the place. Visited the Plaza in June for the first time in 20+ years. Pool and gym look nice than I expected.

[@Northeastbaseball]

We call Sprinkles "Jimmies" here in Massachusetts/New England. Don't ask. Just the way it is.

[@GD1082]

Outside of New England/Boston, NOBODY CARES

[@Carolmaizy]

@@GD1082no need to be so belligerent. They were just making an observation. What's putting you in such an aggressive mood?

[@lizzard701]

Thanks Jacob for your detailed review I saw a coffee maker which I love so I don’t have to pay $8 cup😂 Been thinking about going to the Plaza so this video came at the right time Thank you ❤

[@evetterichardson1675]

Hi Jacob. I’m new to your channel. My sister Shanta’ recommended your channel. Thanks for the information! 😃

[@whimsicalhamster88]

Wow, that gym was the best I’ve seen in any hotel! I’d stay there just to try that out. I also prefer to gamble downtown. And you are looking jacked, dude. Your arm veins are popping!

[@tinamercer7221]

I stayed at the Plaza last yr for the first time and loved it. I will be there again on Aug 27 until Sept 1 this year can't wait to see the carousel bar and pinkbox and the no smoking casino add on. They were working on it last yr when I was there

[@erinscovell1039]

"shub" new way to describe shower and tub... like it! gonna use it from now on. layout certainly different... like that the bath is located away from the door.

[@gladfan1989]

Was there over 4th of July. The Plaza did an amazing job with the renovations.

[@bryces1175]

Love me some Oscar's. Miss it. Need to get another rib cap when I go back to Vegas. Las Vegas Jerkys Inc is a routine stop for me also. Glad you mentioned it in the vid, bro. Love the shortbread cookies there, as well as the cinnamon bagel chips. As always, keep up the great work, Jacob. Always look forward to your videos.

[@user-tx4rt4vi1n]

Haha we met here at the plaza high limit tables… love your videos

[@beachydayz]

Great video Jacob. I’m pretty sure the pool and gym scenes could attract some potential dates 😮 👍🇨🇦
