The Fun Part of Las Vegas! Exploring Excalibur, Luxor, NYNY, & More!

[@stasiasfamilyadventures6318]

I am so grateful for the friendship that brings you to Vegas and the Luxor was a really fun place in the 90’s I worked there in 1993 selling tickets to the attractions that use to be in that upper middle level there was a mummy simulator ride a killer arcade a show like soarn’ at Disney I was in 10th grade and worked at the Luxor! The strip is a lot different the stuff I sold tickets for are now in a Las Vegas museum! Thank you for doing all the fun stuff in my backyard the next day off my kids have off during the week we are going to hit the Las Vegas natural history museum!

[@doncoletta2091]

When Luxor first opened there was a “Nile River” ride that transported you around the lobby, travelling throughout the Egyptian dynastic periods. All the items seen in the museum were part of the ride’s exhibits along the ride.

[@Goody311]

Do you remember when MGM had a theme park ?

[@TheREELGEEK]

I do. ​@@Goody311

Thank you friends for bringing our Justin along

[@catherinetozzi8056]

Prayers for Calif…your home, your friends, Disney, Everyone! WATER IS GOLD! 🙏🏽❤️

[@maryannsawin2893]

Praying for all affected by the fires in LA. Hoping you and Ally are safe and well. Love your videos. 🩵🙏🏻🩵

[@chicogozosodecabellosedoso]

Justin, your Vegas videos are so fun. Maybe , it is because you see things with amazement ,like if you were a child. 👍

[@davidleslie1963]

Justin, you are the best. I love watching your adventures! I am such a fan...Rock on!!!

[@Brydagr8]

The walk from the Strip to the MGM Monorail Station is no joke.

[@TheXerosyn]

The tram you got on at Luxor goes in a circuit from Excalibur to Luxor to Mandalay Bay then repeats backwards. The one on the far end that did not stop is a direct train from start to end (Mandalay to Excalibur). Also back when Luxor opened you could go up to the top, but with security increases you need the room key now. The elevators go on the left and right of those windows I believe as well.

[@DALEf4u]

Justin the devastation from the fires is terrible. Spent last night watching the coverage of it. Your travel videos are great! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@ilovegodzilla]

Oh, memories of the 90’s.

[@MichelleFondinAuthor]

I loved this video! It makes me want to go back to Vegas after 24 years. :)

[@loudawg4473]

The Wynn and Encore are two of the few remaining “classy” hotels left on the strip. I’m glad you got to stay there. Nice video. Viva Las Vegas!

[@marieyoung9169]

I was just at the Tournament of Kings Christmas and it was a lot of fun. Please stay safe!

[@elizabethpearce5606]

Hello from wake forest North Carolina just checking on y'all hope you all are safe n sound from the fires going on. I love you an your beautiful family. Stay safe.

[@briancox808]

That was a fun one!

[@doncoletta2091]

The original lobby of the New York New York hotel was a replica of Grand Central railway lobby, complete with the big clock.

[@Mustache_Dave]

28:12 I like Saxophones. Keep up the great work!

[@thart6103]

This video made me want to visit Vegas!

[@thewatcher8573]

lol that super quick good views everywhere

[@Doktor_Calamari]

The Luxor, Excalibur, and even the MGM were AMAZING when they opened, full of incredible themeing. When Vegas realized the family-destination thing wasn't working, they all got de-themed PDQ.

[@alonzolaurel4199]

going to luxor on thursday!! excited!

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

Praying for Los Angeles! Here's your thumbs up kiddo 👍😂. That should show ya 😂😂😂😂 It's been a hot minute since we were in Vegas. My 3 sons were Littles...they are grown now. Time for mom and dad to go! Always such a good time watching your videos! Thankyou!❤

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

Really enjoying your vegas videos! I love your enthusiasm and lively presentation!

[@That_Boris_Guy]

The hieroglyphics on the thumbnail are great!

[@kellymorris8064]

Love the rooms at the Encore!! Best in Vegas!

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

The best one yet

[@robertmartin5723]

Dani702 has some really well done videos where she gives room tours. Praying for you and your family and friends in SoCal.

[@walshproductions1]

I felt the same way walking through the New York interior. Felt like I got lost in the show world

[@Krillinish2]

Blue Man Group rocks, imo. Their better days are behind them but I still keep up with what they do.

[@Hornsberry]

0:01 You’re staying at the Encore! I’m staying there in April, can’t wait!

[@dudeatmars]

Can’t wait for the tomb part 2

[@Buckseed]

I've never been in Excaliber either! Thanks for te tour.

[@animatorbrent]

Stargate is epic. My dad bought that on laser disk when we were kids. Thx surround sound!!

[@patmoore1036]

One time I tried to get up to the top floor of the Luxor to look down. I got stopped by security at around the 4th floor. 😂

[@mrdestructo74]

I was able to get to the highest floor overlooking everything. It was so disorienting looking over the edge .

[@brokenSceneClips]

The moat at Excalibur was part of the long gone dragon show . They stopped it long ago but the huge mechanical dragon is rumored to be stored underneath the bridge there to this day , still in its original home

[@darrenknowles842]

Hey Justin! Love your vids.

[@CherryBerry48]

on that sign by the monorail was tape face, i love him!!

[@crazykev6491]

The AGT guy. He was hilarious

[@terrirobinson3876]

The little house in the Excalibur moat is Merlin's House. Pack in the 90's there was a battle between an animatronic Merlin and a huge dragon. They stopped it after 9/11. It's rumored the dragon is still in there but knowing how Vegas destroys almost everything, I doubt it.

[@samsclub18]

Fear Factor or Amazing Race back in the 2000s had an episode where the contestants had to slide down the Luxor pyramid in the evening to finish the episode 👍

[@Buckseed]

It's been over 15 years since being in Vegas. I like New York New York.

[@NadaSurferTube]

Favorite little corner of the Strip there. Love all the fun themed MGM properties., they're all so fun to stay at in their own way. All this mention of great glass elevators, I totally wish they'd build a Willy Wonka chocolate factory themed casino hotel complete with great glass elevators , chocolate river boat rides and Vermicious Knids, ha

[@mushieslushie]

The little shack at Excalibur is Merlin's house. There was a show where a dragon would attack his house and he would come out and do magic or whatever and it would back up and go back under the bridge.

[@chrisvroenen4026]

Thanks, Justin!

[@jaystruthers4036]

It's a first! Never seen Justin's hair before. I like your videos Justin. I think my favorite was the times you did Virginia City.

[@patmoore1036]

I stayed at the Excalibur in 1997 and they had some kind of Dragon show in the moat that wasnt working. Looks like they never fixed it.

[@alexielmcbeth3892]

You should go to the MOB Museum~

[@hestheMaster]

You are so right about expanding the monorail! Have it go futher east to get to the Harry Reid airport and circle around it south then west along Sunset Rd to Las Vegas Blvd and south to the Brightline West station at Warm Spring Rd. You would not have to get out into Summer's heat of the day travelling to any of your destinations unnecessarily. Would be twice as long of a trip but in air conditioned comfort and with bags in tow it would be very popular travelling into Vegas!

[@corwinmasaki]

Just some info about the Houdini’s Magic Shops in Vegas… They’ve all closed down. I worked at one for years. The last remnant is actually on Main Street in Disneyland. Maybe you can look into that…🤔

[@sparkleypegs8350]

I was an Aussie kid I was desperate to go to Disneyland but I thought Disneyland and Disney World were the same place and it was a huge exciting mystery because there was no internet then so I didn't know what it looked like inside at all.

[@TheREELGEEK]

Yes, the windows in the Luxor Tower Hotel rooms are at an angle. You could have posted google image pics for the video.

[@CherryBerry48]

i could not walk as much as you, i would be dead! i am wore out by watching you

[@jenniferdyer4025]

My first video of yours. Corey Feldman 's cousin is actually quite entertaining.

[@marcmooney9293]

I remember doing the elevators at luxor and you could see out the windows. But maybe not anymore.

[@Tryingtohaveityall]

Stayed at Luxor around 2000. It was still a good hotel back then. The rooms weren’t really themed. Blue Man group was the headliner back then. Thunder from Down Under was at Excalibur even then. I hope it’s not the same guys. 😂

[@DALEf4u]

You’ve done your duty now you can Hotel and Schleep Well!!

[@logankerr8090]

didn't know you can film inside the Casino. thought it was prohibited

[@cheyannekane9109]

There's a monorail that runs in the back of Park Mgm and it goes to the Bellagio. Its free.

[@rainybaby6709]

i’m sure someone’s already said it but!!!! in the little yoda hut is merlin and under the bridge is a giant dragon and they’d battle they stopped it several years ago but there’s a video of them up close very cccCCCCRRRReeeeEEEEeeeppppPPPPPyyyy

[@davidmcintier128]

I grew up in Anaheim 1958 t0 1967, then we moved to Placentia, anyway I feel like Disneyland was my playground and I love to be there. I lived in Las Vegas for almost a year 1976/1977. I remember talk about a Monorail going from Disneyland to Las Vegas and I couldn't wait to ride it. Sadly it never happened. Vegas has changed so much since then I hardly recognize it. BTW, how much does it cost to ride the shuttle? 😏

[@Mightymellv]

Visit the Pinball hall of Fame and the Classic Car museum in Vegas

[@ccabus]

Wow how was the stay at encore?

[@flipcoin6301]

We visited those hotels in the 90’s. Excalibur and MGM also had carnival games. We won lots of plush toys(I think it was witch in a cauldron, and Wizard of Oz monkeys). Luxor had a central plaza with exhibits and motion simulators. MGM Grand had a small amusement park, and up the road, Circus Circus had one too. Treasure Island had a pirate ship show, and carnival games too. Vegas was a lot cleaner back then. Now there’s strippers on the sidewalks, showing their honkers, in front of families walking down the Strip.

[@christheleavittman7080]

Carrot Top!!!

[@heidihobear]

In the 90s the mgm hotel had a wizard of oz theme. And a hole theme park in the back

[@goolymusiclover]

The monorail open up in the early 2000s

[@travissapp4961]

Great videos justin glad your having fun in vegas so I heard that the blue men group are saying they're last goodbye I thinking Feb 1 2 or 3 2025

[@lookiewhoishere]

The Excalibur used to have the family friendly games and rides in the basement

[@lesliechu8879]

Las Vegas originally has the Sahara Hotel resort! And pray for the people of Los Angeles, who lost their homes from the fires of Hollywood Hills, along with the 5 victims that died!🔥 Flaming Tyrannosaurus Rex!🔥

[@PMJohnson81]

The last time I was in Vegas all I did was Pokemon Go.. lol

[@dalemorison7918]

The New York New York Hotel Statue Of Liberty may be 150 feet tall, but by comparison, she's still literally just under half the size of the Actual Statue Of Liberty standing in New York Harbor NYC!! She, including the pedestal that she stands on top of, reaches 305 feet and 1 inch tall, now just for fun, her height without that pedestal is 151 feet, so the pedestal in and of itself comes in at a height of 154 feet, and quite honestly, I'm not entirely sure where that extra 1 inch comes from whether it's figured into the Statue itself, or the pedestal accounts for it, or a combination of both, or whether that's just out and out bragging on The City's part. Also, just as another fun fact, rumor has it that technically, where the Statue is placed is unofficially in New Jersey Waters, but if NYC feels That Strongly that it Needs The Pride of claiming ownership of The Lovely Lady In The Harbor, and wants to continually provide the funding & finances to keep her adequately maintained , then NJ is more than willing to back off and let them do it even till the end of the age if they insist upon it.

[@happilyeverawkward1948]

YOU MISSED THE FUNDUNGEON!!!

[@TrainerCTZ]

New Yorkers absolutely stay at the New York, New York....comedically so.

[@porcelainthunder2213]

I can’t believe they still haven’t expanded the monorail to the airport yet. It’s sad to see what has become of Vegas from its peak in the 90s -2000s.

[@n8ureb]

wonder if he will make it to the Punk Rock Museum.

[@Larissa-le7dk]

Are your family safe

[@wadethomas6952]

If you like pyramids go to Memphis Tennessee and go to the brass pro pyramid store

[@MannyEmm]

Real quick, as I am thinking about it. I have been to Vegas many times. My mom passed away 10 years ago, (she was 83), my father 27 years ago(he was 61)…..neither of them visited Las Vegas in their entire lives! I like NY…not a fan of the Luxor….we stayed at the Luxor….you go up Inclinators (elevators that don’t go up and down, the go sideways at an angle…it’s the weirdest feeling). The rooms are kinda small. If you look out the window from the room, that also is angled. I bumped my head several times trying to look out!

[@KendallKiddComix]

Did you find any mummies @ Luxor Brotatochip?!?

[@MaypearlFamily]

I thought the Transamerica tower in San Francisco was the tallest pyramid?

[@CherryBerry48]

you need a luxor guide

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

We had the Titanic experience here, wasn't all that impressed, and I LOVE Titanic stuff, def was not worth going, at least in the one in Scottsdale, AZ.

[@rolfathan]

Can we get the height of that statue of liberty in AdamTheWoos?

[@derrygowley]

Anyone have any videos of Palisades or has Justin filmed there in the past ???

[@DavidVitrano]

I would love for Luxor to update all of the pyramid rooms, to have the same feel of what the tower rooms look like. And also reposition the hot tubs in the Suites in the section where the couch is shown here on this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYbKZnmln9Sso80

[@LosAngelesCatfish]

There is a Statue of Liberty in El Monte. I sent you a photo. Did you have Suavecito in your hair

[@michael2244]

At New York New York they should have chess boards swt up to play blitz chess

[@CherryBerry48]

aww poor lamb, got celiac, i am sorry

[@nancy-d2m2j]

Thank goodness the statue of liberty doesn't pump out the smell of NY

[@CherryBerry48]

sesame street is or was a new york atmosphere, Sesame Street is located in a fictional neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City

[@TheGoodWario]

When I went first went, I said no to staying at the NYNY because I live by the real thing. Doesn't mean I didn't visit it.

[@MannyEmm]

I gave you yet another Thumbs Up….I hope you learned your lesson, young lad! Thank you for the cool tour of Lost Wages!

[@tommy1138]

To answer your question Justin, NO the rooms are not themed. Even the top-dollar pyramid suite is not themed. They are standard "modern deco" styled rooms. Nice big shower in the rooms though. I've stayed at the Luxor three times in the past 20 years (last stay was 2023) and the rooms have never been Egyptian-themed. Unfortunately.

[@PaulMcElligott]

If you want a detailed review of the Luxor, Bright Sun Travels did a video recently.

[@catherinetozzi8056]

You are like a Walking Encyclopedia! Should have been a teacher…..🙏🏽❤️

[@logankerr8090]

in April, Vegas will be home for WrestleMania!

[@logankerr8090]

hope they host it again in bout 5 yrs after like New Orleans

[@thetravelingrapper]

PLZ TELL ME U DIDNT SKIP CLARK COUNTY MUSEUM IM SCREAMING

[@mocrg]

I can deffo say do not stay at NY NY. Because the roller coaster runs late and it shakes the entire hotel and keeps you awake. Other than that it’s fine!

[@SpockBorg5]

Monorail overrated. Save your money. Take the duece double decker buses , they're cheaper and more convenient. Also look for free trams and shuttles. If you have properties that are connected I recommend utilizing those walkways even though they may not be as convenient , on a hot day they are more comfortable.

[@RyanNodal305]

That era when they tried to market and make Las Vegas a family friendly destination was pretty unique. Also the rooms at Excalibur are pretty plain and nothing special

[@DavidVitrano]

I've been dying to see KÀ. But have you guys ever thought of them updating it, like what they did with The Beatles: LOVE and ALEGRIA, with the theming, costumes, effect's and other things like that? In fact, Can you please update this show to feel more like what X-The Land Of Fantasy is like? Here's some video’s for all of you fans! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5uooJyKbdxsqMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZq2oJp8l7ZljKM I do love that you put in Icarian Games into the show, but here's some idea's/act's to put into the show to make it a bit longer, to go along with all new music/soundtracks. (Crossed Cyr Wheel), Like what you have in the Revamped ALEGRIA. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZnRXp6qgbyabbs (Aerial Contortion in Silk), Like what you had in ZED or QUIDAM. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2KtY4eIorKfa6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGbInGhod69-a7s (Cubique) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmS2oaumjr5sh8U And how about putting some FIRE in it somehow, maybe like this for example. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYeZqYaIjt-dfMU (Bamboo Poles) Like what you’ve had in Dralion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWvh5Z9r9-lsKs (Acro Poles) Like what you have in Alegría. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4XJq6WceZh2ja8si=uczsDil8A3DDrBCC&t=196
 (Hair Suspension) Like What they have in VOLTA. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4nOomaKd55-epI (A Combination Act of Trampoline and Parallel Bars), Like what is shown here on AGT America's Got Talent. But its Five Guy's instead for Four. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-Wn36Aa86Voa8 (Sanddorn Balance), Like what you have in Amaluna. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4uTeJaglLOIoZI Or do it like this with (Tight Wire) as an added bonus. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpKTl6GPqbqhY6M (Aerial Bamboo) Like what you had in La Nouba. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYfImoGAod5sfZI (Pendulant Poles), Like in CRYSTAL. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a56rd6Jpgs2Cmc0 And (High Bars), Like what you had in MYSTERE. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bma9i2B-iK2LnLc Thank you and Merci Beaucoup Cirque Du Soleil! Hope you love this and not use it for security reasons? Cause that’s just sad. Also please bring back these act’s as well. (Pilars) www.richasi.com/Cirque/KA/actX1.htm (Hand Balancing) www.richasi.com/Cirque/KA/actX2.htm With adding some style from what they had in Zarkana.
