Those prices are pretty rough even for Vegas strip.

[@JoshRachael]

Totally agree

[@shelley131]

I've noticed the trend over the year that in the fine dining establishments have become louder and louder like a sports bar. Too me, that ruins a good meal. As always enjoy watching your videos.

[@JoshRachael]

Yea we are not fans of it. Our second dinner this trip was very much our style though

[@marks.4799]

With today’s economy it’s hard to believe people still willing to pay that much for a dinner, thanks for taking one for the team

[@JoshRachael]

It’s what we’re here for 😉

[@letsgodancin1]

This is a strategy for long-term channel growth. which translates to more views, more likes, more subscribers. And ultimately more revenue for the owners of the channel. Also a lot of times, food is comped as part of a casino rewards program. Lastly, I would think that they are registered as a business and are writing a lot of the expenses off. The owners can correct me if I'm wrong 😎

[@JoshRachael]

@@letsgodancin1 We are able to use the meals as a tax writeoff - you are correct, of course that doesn't equate to Free however. We also don't make enough from youtube ads to make a profit still like the mega channels on youtube. We enjoy dining at fancy restaurants we can't at home and that is why we are willing to overindulge with expensive meals like we do. To grow our channel we actually would be better off going for cheap eats and buffets but we generally don't enjoy them as much so we have found higher end restaurants to be our favorites.

[@letsgodancin1]

@@JoshRachael It would have been a tragedy if you were going to cheap eats and buffets (yikes!). Keep doing what you are doing and it will eventually translate to numbers. 👍🏼

[@JoshRachael]

@@letsgodancin1 thank you! We will do the occasional cheap meal or buffet from time to time but all the time would just not be satisfying for us. Luckily our channel has seemed to find a groove and is growing at this point but it took a lot of time to find a groove.

[@We_On_Vacation]

not sure about the pea risotto, giving me an Exorcist movie scene vibe

[@JoshRachael]

🤣 😆 🤣

[@lillianliber1798]

I agree. It didn't have a good presentation for an expensive gourmet dish. It just looked green and gloopy.

[@astrosjer822]

My wife and I ate there in May 2023. Small menu, not cheap but we had an amazing dinner and waiter. I would go back in a sec. It is also a nice way to try and upgrade Harrah’s in a way.

[@JoshRachael]

That is awesome!

[@robertbacon7731]

love food reviews when the hosts say this is going to be good before tasting a thing it makes me watch all the way to the end every time

[@JoshRachael]

We hope for it to be all the time 🤣

[@JLee54321]

$340, that's with a 20% tip is pricey. I hope y'all enjoyed it.

[@JoshRachael]

We always enjoy it

[@paigewillow8768]

Hell’s Kitchen was so good that we went there twice in a row last week. Great table, service and atmosphere. His food is good in all of his restaurants imo.

[@JoshRachael]

Nice! We have not been disappointed with them but the menus tend to be almost the same and we like wide variety so can’t do it too often

[@rockythesquid]

Enjoy your reviews,. BTW I think the meringue dessert you were trying to recall when talking about the Eton mess is a Pavlova.

[@JoshRachael]

Thank you!

[@Trojan2024]

Great video. Never had Beef Wellington before but it looked really good. Have to give it a try. Pricey? Sure but as my daughter says YOLO!

[@JoshRachael]

Love that!

[@thevegasdawg8983]

Nice video guys! Alex and I have that place on our itinerary next trip so glad you let us see it. I love the Wellington and have had it at HK a few times so I'd likely just do that again and those scallops are always very good. Now sure about that brown sauce but still everything looked good and as for pricing that's everywhere in vegas now for two people $2-300 easy.

[@JoshRachael]

Facts! Anyone thinking they will get a cheap fancy dinner in Las Vegas just hasn’t been there for a while

[@herczeus9341]

Gordon didn't invent Beef Wellington. It was named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington in the 1800's. He just made everyone think he did. LOL!

[@JoshRachael]

Thanks for the info. We knew he didn't invent it but definitely has made it a signature dish of his

[@The_Getaway_Channel]

Ok pea risotto looked delicious but … $35?! Seems like a lot. Mmmmm “chicken sauce” and scallops? Lol. That made us laugh. What is chicken sauce? 😂 The beef Wellington and sticky toffee pudding looked great - thanks guys! 🥂

[@JoshRachael]

Yea prices are just dumb

[@philiplee8345]

I really enjoy your videos. I am in Vegas this and next week and was wondering if you want to do a tour of my king suite and queen suite combo at resort world Conrad.

[@JoshRachael]

thank you, we aren’t in town next week unfortunately

[@Reavix]

Wow, at those prices I’ll pass 🤣 Great video, keep up the good work, you guys are great!

[@JoshRachael]

thank you!

[@jc080166]

We had reservations at Gordon Ramsey but canceled and opted for Joe’s at Caesar’s. I love Beef Wellington but can’t stomach $82; Vegas is expensive, but Joe’s seems like it would be good and more reasonable.

[@JoshRachael]

Joes is definitely a better option in our opinion

[@sandiego1936]

Great video!

[@JoshRachael]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@YouUsAndAI]

Lool Rachael’s reaction to price of app. I would too!! I was there and didn’t see the tasting menu and i didnt know they had Eton Mess (I know Rachel wasn’t too keen on it, but I wonder if you mash it altogether that it would have gone over better). Dang it. I will go back for that then! Thank you!!

[@JoshRachael]

Maybe. It sort of felt like it’s just a random collection for Gluten Free and Vegetarian diners

another suggestion,,,,,,go into the health & wellness area,,,,,review of Vegas tennis courts,,,,,,bike rides in Red Rock Canyon

[@JoshRachael]

Rachael just started another channel regarding her running journey, feel free to check it out. We aren’t Vegas locals, so that would be a hard piece for us to cover.

[@lillianliber1798]

Just a matter of personal preference but to me the ambiance seemed like a noisy buffet or cafeteria. The tables and chairs looked uncomfortable (I know you had a booth) and nothing screamed of luxury to me. If I am paying top dollar for a meal, I want to be able to hear myself think and sit in more sumptuous surroundings. This just looked like a basic 24-hour cafe that could be in any casino. Nothing you ordered looked like it measured up to the quality of a gourmet restaurant. The peas were gloopy and sticky, the Wellington had sauce ruining the flaky pastry, the scallops were in a mismatched sauce and the desserts again looked like something from a buffet. Very underwhelming.

[@JoshRachael]

👌🏽

[@gcorkgal4167]

WoW! Never been to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. Was in Vegas last week for the Justin Timberlake & Rolling Stones concerts. Always start my trip with a meal at Spago's with my favorite server Sabine! I had the sea diver scallops which were less expensive than the ones you had Rachael! If y'all haven't been to Lemongrass at Aria, put it on your bucket list! Love their garlic ribeye & the soft shelled crab fried rice! Huge portions for a fair price! Loved your recent livestream! Cheers!

[@JoshRachael]

Awesome we are hoping to go to Spago next trip! Thank you so much!!

[@gcorkgal4167]

@@JoshRachael Great! Don't forget to try my most favorite lemon spiked Vegas dessert! Cheers! Gloria

[@alyonapetrova694]

I’ve never tried Beef Wellington. Is the beef tender or more on the tough side? What is the draw/significance? Famous British dish? I don’t see the fascination, however, after watching your vlog, I’m going to have to try it once. BTW, love Rachel’s dress! ❤

[@doracanales7784]

It's like butter, it's so tender. I just don't care for the pate but that's just personal preference.

[@alyonapetrova694]

@@doracanales7784 Thanks! Sometimes when I see beef with no “marbling” I get worried that it’ll be tough. I’ll have to order it once to see how it is. Thanks again!❤️

[@JoshRachael]

Very tender like melting in your mouth. Thanks so much

[@alyonapetrova694]

@@JoshRachael I’m going to have to try it. 👍🏻

[@Tiltpoul]

I’ve been to GR HK, GR Pub, GR Steak (in Atlantic City) and GR Kitchen at Harrah’s. Kitchen is the only one I won’t go back to. The Shrimp Cocktail was the best I’ve ever had, but it was 3 shrimp for $27. The service was not great and everything was priced too high, even for Vegas and especially compared to the other GR restaurants.

[@JoshRachael]

After being at HK, Steak, and Kitchen I would struggle to return to any compared to other options

[@jazzhead394]

I’ve only been to Burger, but I was impressed. I still think about the sticky toffee pudding…

[@JoshRachael]

That’s awesome we have not tried that one yet

[@dextersmithbsee]

Pricey! I wouldn't pay $35.00 for English pea risotto, here, there or anywhere! Sorry, not sorry.😎

[@JoshRachael]

We wanted to try it so we ordered it for the price it was listed. Sorry not sorry

Sunday greetings peeps ! So Gordan Ramsay …hmmm. I’m not a fan of. I had a horrible experience at Hells Kitchen and and even worse time at Gordan Ramsay Pub . Food and service were dreadful. I did have a good dinner at Gordan Ramsay Steak though . With 2 out of 3 bad I will skip his restaurants. I have better luck with Julian Serrano’s restaurants but I just read Picasso’s is closing this summer after 25 years . Glad I made it there last year . 😎😎😎

[@JoshRachael]

Yea we are not sold on Gordon Ramsay restaurants, menus are all about the same, prices are high for the celebrity name and just so many other good options out there

[@corysleeger1574]

Why do they put amazing scallops and pork belly on a plate w/ a Fennel Salad? F the Fennel Salad

[@JoshRachael]

Haha

[@ryebread921]

restaurant seems out of place, people who stay at a place like Harrah's aren't spending $80+ on a Beef Wellington, too many better options nearby

[@JoshRachael]

We said the same thing when we got there haha 🤣

[@wulffdendad8957]

Food looked good but I am not a fan of the celebrity chef restaurants where the celebrity isn’t really involved in the day to day operation of restaurant. #wulffdendad

[@JoshRachael]

We agree but we stayed at a Caesars property and that is what Caesar’s is into so figured we would try it out

[@davidmurphy1318]

I had the 3 course at the pub in Ceasars last year I came out of place saying to myself Il never have french onion soup beef Wellington an sticky toffee pudding ever again I was so underwhelmed gimmi tacos at best friend or tso chicken at la la noodle any day.i like Gorden Ramsey I'd have his burgers at PH ever day but not a fan of his 3 courses at ceasars

Amen that’s where we are now as well

[@rushgeddy8375]

We're really counting on you for a vid on sports betting comps in time for football season. No one will do such a vid. High demand for it. Comp credits. Free rooms....for sports bets

[@JoshRachael]

Haha I can tell you we won’t be doing a sport betting comps video. From past play I have not had good experience getting comps from sports betting. Do it for fun but don’t expect much from it. Also we do sports bets from our phone more than from the window. Enjoy doing it wherever even at home rather then waiting in line to get a ticket and cash it if things went well

[@AMTTBT]

Gordon Guy and Bobby Flay are way overpriced and paying for the name. Prices should include Ramsey cooking your meal table side!! Vegas is a ripoff!!

[@JoshRachael]

I would agree to an extent. Caesars properties are the issue, since they are the properties that have simply given up creativity and are basically putting one of each in every resort that is oversaturating the market.
