Would you visit Las Vegas at Christmas?

[@simonpratt3643]

Have been in Vegas for Christmas a few times and preferred it to NYE. Even been swimming on Christmas day when we were at the ARIA. Vegas at Christmas is fab and if you fancy some snow just head up to Mt Charleston.

[@madaboutvegas2622]

Absolutely!!! We have always talked about going during Christmas 😊

[@liamshelstravelvideos9127]

Think it would be great to see it at Christmas and new year. But Shel likes it in the summer too much haha.

[@stuchan3326]

Many years ago, we spent Christmas Eve with family at home and flew into Vegas on Christmas Day, meeting my wife’s sister and husband. The weather happened to be very cold, perhaps bitter cold. I remember saying it was making up for the times we were there when it was over 100 degrees F. Kept us in the casino a lot, which wasn’t such a bad thing. We did manage to get out and see some of the holiday decor and festivities. The cold may have been an anomaly, so we’d do it again (but haven’t so far).

[@lisal77]

Yes, absolutely

[@simonsouth6184]

Brilliant.. you capture vegas so well ... i know all about them brutal slots !!! I hope claire got her wicked way with you,after your strong IPA ! 😂😂😂 Gotta try best friend looks great... keep em coming... my favourite Yorkshire vloggers !😁🇬🇧👍

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, yes defo a brutal start! Be sure to try best friend in your next trip the food is amazing! Apparently, a southern geezer shows up in one of our videos later in this vlog!

[@kevinp665]

These videos bring me so much joy. We're all living vicariously through you Nicky and Claire!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks for tuning in 👍👍

[@TheCoinShow88]

The start of this one! 👌🏼 We need to go back to Roi Choi’s and try that kimchi fried rice. I’ll probably try those wings too. You guys look fantastic, editing fantastic, whole video was fantastic, the series is going to be fantastic. Thank you for another one to look forward to.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks you two! Now just gotta catch up with your's 😎 I already wanna go back to Roys place! The wings n rice are must for your next visit! Only thing im dissapointed about is we was too full to try their version of sticky toffee pudding!

[@TheLasVegasCouple]

Beautiful, beautiful vlog! Made only better by Claire’s utter delight at being in Vegas at Christmas time! Hope the slots got kinder for you! ❤

[@nickyfurmage]

Nice to see you in the comments.x she definitely had her Christmas head on this trip!👍❤️

[@KenoKid]

Still never made it to Blueberry Hill…. Need my car to take me there 🤣🤣. Best Friend is one of our favorite places in all of Vegas 🤘🤘. Roy Choi is a food truck legend in Southern California 😎. I could eat street tacos and LA street corn all day everyday 😋. See ya in part 2 👀👀😉

[@nickyfurmage]

Blueberry was ok, reminded me of the egg n i and black bear diner with those huge menus! I need to hit up those Roy Choi food trucks man! Best friend was LEGIT!!

[@markkeeling3648]

Just love watching your vlogs, fingers crossed the slots start paying sooner rather than later.

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers Mark👍🤞

[@jKDC1987]

I know I say it every-time, but your videography is outstanding. Great to see you both back! Looking forward to the next one guys!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks for joining us mate, 👍

[@johngreene8464]

Time to say goodbye was the first Bellagio show we saw during our first trip to Vegas in 2005. Great memories. Fantastic video, looking forward to following along. Thanks both.

[@nickyfurmage]

I always remember that from 09 and have it on video too! Good times😎

[@andydeniseposey426]

Nicky, you are the best!!!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, very kind👍❤️

[@markcummings3146]

Great to see you guys back again! Regarding cocktail waitresses whilst I don't gamble (beyond playing poker) I noticed this summer when my wife was playing there was a lack of drink offers in Paris and Palms but was fine in Venetian.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, it can be hit and miss but on the whole its pretty good I think.

[@rhondalockrey9592]

All that good food had me drooling lol I hope the slots turn in your favor on the rest of the trip. The retake of showing the Conservatory dolled up for Christmas at 6:00am sure is a reason to go around Christmas I love your showing all the decorations.

[@nickyfurmage]

Has me drooling again just thinking about it! Place was legit! I was awake at 6am so thought may aswell pop down, was me n about 5 other people including the guy watering the flowers😁

[@adelmopagliaroli4220]

HI nice to see you two 👍👍

[@vickistebel9340]

I love to visit Vegas at Christmas! The lights and decor are beautiful and it's usually a slow time for tourists. I haven't been there on actual Christmas Day but have often visited in mid-December. Happy Holidays to you and Claire!

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah it was a nice vibe! I wouldnt want to be there on Christmas day itself though. Thanks and Happy Christmas to you too👍🎄🎅

[@TheDillygent]

Nicky that video was stunning! you put it together so well, including choosing the music, I wish you could film more but realise that if you did you wouldn't have any time to enjoy yourselves, I really appreciate you putting it out there for those of us who cannot make the trip xx

[@nickyfurmage]

Thank you 👍❤️

[@VegasOurWay]

We need to get back to Sam’s Town it’s been years. Awesome video as usual

[@nickyfurmage]

Worth a run out!! I will catch up with ur videos soon 👍😎

[@pod7450]

Kim Crawford ....Claire. Best wine ever!

[@richardstander7755]

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your latest Vlog! Thanks again for allowing us to experience Vegas with you and Claire . Our tentative plans are for the 2nd week of April seven nights at Bellagio ! Cheers and Merry Christmas to you both!🥂🎄

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks as always Richard mate👍 That sounds like a blast of a trip in April hope you have the beat time! Glad you are enjoying the videos😎

[@michaelpetrichko7382]

Great start to your next series of vlogs! Best Friend looked amazing. Have eaten there a number of times and he had the opportunity to meet Roy Choi at the restaurant.

[@nickyfurmage]

Yes I was told he shows up and him and his wife help out with the service! Im definitely going back to try some different things it was great!

[@nickhunt16]

Great vlog and nice choice of car 👌🏻👌🏻! They never disappoint just slowly getting round to catching up on all Vegas Vlogs after a busy Christmas but thinking about your recent post reality v vlog.. it’s really incredible end result and I’m sure it takes effort and dedication but it’s definitely worth it! I’ve fancied going to Best Friend and never got round to it so glad to hear it didn’t disappoint might have try get there next time! Looking forward to watching the rest

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, mate. I appreciate it👍 Best friend is well worth the visit!

[@louisetvancouver6161]

I’ve never been to Best Friend @ Park MGM, will pop in there on my next visit. Looking forward to watching more of your Vegas trip. 👍😎

[@nickyfurmage]

Its worth a visit for sure! Tasty food 😁

[@luckislonggone9941]

We are heading to Aria Sky Suites tomorrow for Christmas, can't wait! This was so much fun, looking forward to the next one....

[@nickyfurmage]

Nice!! Have an amazing time👍

[@Matrix2021]

Fantastic vlog Mr F! I’m a massive fan of Sam’s Town, don’t know what it is about the place, possibly the bingo and Panda Express 😅. Fellow fan of Blueberry Hill too, proper American diner feels! Hope the gambling improves (if your intro vid is anything to go by, I expect it will 😉🎰)

[@nickyfurmage]

Thats orange chicken! Drags us all in. thanks for dropping in mate👍

[@SlotGypsiesTravel]

Little late but binge watching one of my favourite vloggers 🍑💕

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks again for joining us👍

[@lisal77]

Very well put together ….thank you so much for vlogging

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers Lisa, thanks for joining us👍

[@luvjets]

Hi N&C - wow, that's a great deal you got on the room at Bellagio. Very nice red Charger you have to bomb around Vegas - don't have too heavy of a lead foot, don't need to bring home a speeding citation! 🚔 Blueberry Hill looked good, the menu is insane - we've never been. Loving all the holiday decorations, really gets you into a festive spirit. 🎄 So, Claire isn't a fan of black olives on pizza? 🍕 Best Friend food looks good, but in all the vlogs we've watched it's so darn LOUD in there. Glad you enjoyed it. 📢 Hope you both have better luck on the slots. Merry Christmas to you both - lots of hugs!!! 😎❤🍻

[@nickyfurmage]

Ha! I wondered who would be the 1st person to notice claire taking them olives off the pizza 😆 I actually didn't notice myself until i edited the video!

[@allaboardthecruiselife]

Cracking Vlog Nicky!!! 👍😎

[@nickyfurmage]

Appreciate it mate 👍👍

[@liamshelstravelvideos9127]

Excellent vlog as always. Shame about the gambling for the day but Vegas is more than that as you show so well.

[@nickyfurmage]

Of course, which is why its such a cool place😎

[@stuchan3326]

Vroom vroom! Nicky and Claire muscling through the streets of Vegas and Southern Nevada! Looking forward to seeing what you get into as my wife and I tend to stay on strip. Good to see you again. What’s it been? Like a month? Will always make time for Nicky and Claire!

[@nickyfurmage]

Good to see you back in the comments Stu! Definitely not so long since the last trip! Good to have you n the good lady along😎👍

[@lianelayman6584]

I've been to Vegas in Dec. I love The Christmas time and I go for Rodeo Week with country music which I like. But I don't go for a week as it's too long and I get too board. I wish I was in Vegas now. I just walk or take the bus everywhere, I stay at Circus, Circus. I like it and it's cheap. I've never eaten at Blueberry Hill. For breakfest I just eat at McDonalds and get my oatmeal. I've never been to Sam's Town but it sure looks nice. I'm not a big gambler. Never been to Saabro but the pizza looked really good. The fountains at Bellagio Hotel are nice to see and also the valcano going off at the Mirage and it's a good thing I've seen it several times because the hotel won't be there much longer. The hotels all look like they have some really pretty and cool stuff to look at at Christmas. I hope to go back to Vegas in a couple of years and I'm sure going in Dec.

[@nickyfurmage]

So many people were showing up for rodeo week which was cool to see!

[@SlotsNShots1]

NF, Awesome VID as usual. I was in Vegas a week before Thanksgiving do some recording for my channel and the slots tore me a new one as well!! 🤣! Maybe MGM is raising money to hire more waitresses!!! LOL! I'm pretty loyal to them because the cost of all of my stays have been complimentary at any of their properties since 2019 so I always break bread in the MGM properties. I know your luck will get better as your visit progress!

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah, i agree, MGM has always given us good comps, including this one, which was an absolute steal.

[@easyedawg9160]

Had 4 nights comped at Park MGM Dec. 2-6 sorry I didn't run into you nice folks. Ate at Best Friend as well, everything is good but I always get the Lamb lollipops, soo good. As always great shots on this vid. Hope I meet you one time in Vegas. I'm back again soon Jan 9-17 at Vdara and Downtown Grand. Thanks for the memories of Vegas. Good luck. Cheers mate.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks! We bumped into quite a few people shame! Another time, Best friend is legit im defo going back!

[@boganpainter1638]

I also never have any luck at Station's properties.

[@nickyfurmage]

I certainly haven't had any yet! But I do enjoy the properties👍

[@steviereds1]

Top vlog guys, Sept 24 for me

[@user-dy4ol4dx5o]

Absolutely brilliant as always. You guys do an amazing job of taking us along with you. See you in the next one 👏👏

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks Jane, more off strip action in the next one😁

[@luisaponte9119]

Great vlog Nicky and Claire. Keep them coming 🙂

[@nickyfurmage]

Thank you! Will do!

[@hvw.6694]

New Subscriber, enjoy your video! Great job with your editing, keep going!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks appreciate it👍

[@wks4511]

Nicky, you're such a pro at this. I love the conservatory in Bellagio. That's impressive.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, i wouldnt say i was a pro but i enjoy learning.👍

[@stephchesney-bryce9205]

Brilliant lovely to see sams town and sunset casinos great memores best friend looked amazing hopefully your luck changed 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

Nice to visit them again! And best friend was delicious im defo going again!

[@madaboutvegas2622]

We really want to try Blueberry Hill and Best Friend’s!!! Great editing yet again!!!!! Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@nickyfurmage]

Thank you! Yeah give them a try especially best friend! Amazing food

[@jameshiga8077]

Hi Nicky and Claire. You guys put in a full first day in Vegas. Need to check out more of the off strip casinos. Not just for the gambling,but also these casinos are they are nice properties to walk around and enjoy what they have to offer.. Can't wait to see what adventures you will experience in Boulder City. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers James, as regular visitors its nice to make time off strip too👍

[@clairecollins4794]

Glad to see you back, really enjoyed the vlog, hope tomorrow is better on the gambling 💵🎰💵💵💵

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, Claire and 🤞

[@VegasVisual]

Great deal on the rental car. Sam's Town is a must visit with the atrium and water show.

[@nickyfurmage]

Yeah the Atrium is cool, im wondering if that Angry butcher is worth a try.

[@VegasVisual]

@@nickyfurmage Even when I was doing the weekly show on Vegas vloggers I don't believe I say anyone review the Angry Butcher.

[@TravelAroundWithEmma]

Love your videos , been Vegas a number of times and due back in July next year to stay at the Vdara which I can’t wait for - been Vegas at Christmas back in 2012 and 2019 it so nice . I need to ask how do you get such good deals on your rooms ?

[@nickyfurmage]

Still not stayed in Vdara but looks really nice! The offer we got was great, 4 comped nights but then the other 4 at a reduced rate of $54 per night, minus resort fees as we are still gold.

[@susanbusbee]

Oh man you missed one of the best thing by not getting dessert at best friend. The date cake is the best version of sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had. Definitely better than Gordon’s!

[@nickyfurmage]

I know Susan! We are both saying the same, but we were too full! A good excuse to re visit in the future 👍😁

[@boothylad5151]

Yes there back.. And this time you've got a big boys haircut nicky😂thought you were having mid life crisis with the boyband haircut last time mate😊

[@tri-ls7744]

regret not trying that when I stayed in Park, I ended up getting a nice enough Pasta the only night I ate there. Maybe one trip.

[@nickyfurmage]

Best friend is real good! Im definitely going again.👍

[@Shenanigambling]

Love the vlog, and love the errors in the automated subtitles. Do yall ever have issues operating Siri or Alexa?

[@nickyfurmage]

You're not the 1st person to say that😆 No, smooth sailing with alexa😁

[@seancrowe9571]

When you talk of freeplay - do you get this at every MGM property on your trip or is it one free play per trip?

[@nickyfurmage]

Just once per stay, the other i was referring to was FP i didnt get in September due to the mgm cyber attack.

[@jaredkawa7538]

I'm still trying to understand the English accent and why you say "his" and not "my" or "our" 😂 but great vlogs yet again

[@nickyfurmage]

Im confused 😆

[@LorraineB-ee2fv]

Sorry. Just wanted to check. You're gold, so there's always a separate queue. Are you using that?

[@nickyfurmage]

Yes but at that time of night they only have a few staff, went straight to the desk but then alot of people joined the gold queue after us, they had to alternate them with the regular line and people were getting quite annoyed as at that point only 2 staff were dealing with both lines. After 6pm the desk staff go down to a minimum.

[@igorgopshtein9754]

Great video, but to pay almost $200.00 including tip for Best Friend, where the music is so loud, that you can't even have a normal conversation, is absurd. They really hammer people for basic foods like wings, fried rice and shrimp. I'm sure it all tasted good, but for that price? You can do so much better, than that loud environment. I would be your best friend as well, if people would be willing to pay me $200.00 for basic foods like wings, rice and shrimp

[@nickyfurmage]

Not your kinda place then😁
