PROS & CONS of Visiting LAS VEGAS

Here's some things to think about before visiting to Las Vegas....
Have you ever thought about visiting in Las Vegas? Or even actually moving and living there? Las Vegas gets so many tourists every single year, so here's a few Pros and Cons you should know about first before making your trip. I am a Las Vegas KZbinr and I have lived here for almost 20 years. I am constantly on the Las Vegas Strip so I experience many hard aches that tourists go thru as well . And boy have I learned a lot! That's why I'm here to help you and teach you as much as I can before you land in Sin City. We're to be talking about traffic, crowds, the heat, food costs, tourist traps, and so much more. Hope you enjoy!

Of course the biggest pro is Vegas has Norma.

[@lvfan]

PRO: I could run into Norma Geli Filming or Live Streaming if I visit Vegas!

[@az00001]

Norma has the cutest giggles and smile!!

[@michaellovelace8995]

You have to ask yourself when it comes to F1 is the juice worth the squeeze🤔

[@primemover1416]

I wonder which will bring the most dollars into the city: F1 or the Super Bowl? So many changes and annoyances getting ready for F1, especially compared to prep for the SB, which is minimal.

[@TheNovemberMan-]

Vegas Con: Starbucks Wrap 🤮😄

[@jimwolfe4286]

Norma, Thank you very much..Great Video !!....Too bad, you didn't experience Vegas in the 1970's...Forget..abt..it !!....lol..

[@bobblebunny219]

Pro, you get to do all the cool things Norma recommends, n that's a wrap 😆

[@emilyserafamanschot800]

We took our son to Vegas when they were promoting it as a "family" vacation. This was about 25 years ago. We did the Hoover Dam tour and went to see the "O" show at the Bellagio. We visited the M and M store and the Coca Cola tour. We gave him tons of quarters to play video games and saw a comedy show that was family friendly. We had fun!

[@shoongpink]

Thanks so much for sharing that story! You have my utmost envy as I have never had a family vacation.

[@rushentla]

It’s the worse time to go to Vegas. Everything is really overpriced. It’s not worth it. Hospitality is gone. No more comps unless you spent 10k just not worth it.

[@aaronramirez2816]

To many cons. Palm Springs is a better option to relax, eat and drink. Zero traffic and the restaraunts and hotels aren't tourist traps.

[@kittiew260]

Con the insane prices for everything. Vegas used to be a great place to visit, now a major money pit.

[@fatal9998]

vegas isn't cool anymore they ruined everything good. its not worth going to vegas when i can go international.

[@zepptar]

I remember when parking was free everywhere. Resort fees are a scam. Vegas is me giant mall.

[@UncleAlpha1]

Pro: a chance to run in & meet Norma Geli ❤

[@zencivility]

There's a word that a friend of mine made up for people who walk reeeeealllllly sloooooow and block aisles and doorways: meanderthals. Brilliant!

[@davidellis5141]

That slice of pizza 🍕 looked so delicious 😋 Norma !

[@thedrunkweddingphotographer]

As much as I love drinking. I have NEVER spent a single penny on a drink in Vegas. I always pack my own.

[@BillHaynal]

Hi Norma! I only see and do things in Vegas that are Norma approved. 🙂

[@swlc5555]

Also, don't wear boots when walking the strip because it might be painful for your big toe!😣 I can understand wanting to get away to an island or remote cabin in nature to totally decompress. What's nice about Vegas is you can have a wild party vacation or one of total peace and relaxation depending on how you plan it.

[@stevelee7904]

Hi Norma, great video. There are so many more pros on visiting Las Vegas than cons, in my opinion. That's why I am always there. Thanks for the wonderful tips and advice, which is always helpful. Don't look at it.

[@boomertuber8878]

Metro pizza has a nice deal for Vegas!

[@shocktherapywiw2232]

Another entertaining and informative video wrapped up in a perfect package. Or is that by a perfect package? 🦋😁 Seeing you makes my head spin and my heart ach-e (in a good way). Happy to be sharing this perfectly round shaped planet with you.♥️

[@rustyrobinson8027]

I'm a simple man your smile and dimples are so cute ❤

[@SportsBoss999]

I loved your point about renting a car in Vegas. With the traffic and other available options to get around (cabs, Ubers, the Deuce, Monorail and free trams) and the cost associated with parking your car, if you're staying 5-7 days I wouldn't rent one for the whole week. What I do is I rent a car for two days so I can drive around and see things further away from the Strip. AND I DON'T RENT IT FROM THE AIRPORT! At Treasure Island, they have 2 car rental places (Hertz and Dollar I believe). It's conveniently located in Center Strip, so it's easy to pick the car up and drop it off with very little hassle. Just book it ahead of time when you book your trip. Paying for car rental and parking fees for several days gets very expensive. The Pros for me in Vegas are 1) Great shows and Entertainment. 2) People-watching. 3) Spectacular views and amazing buildings/sculptures. 4) The Weather. I live in New England. There's a four-letter word we say a lot. Snow. The biggest CON I have in Vegas ... GOING HOME! Sad that my Vegas Vacation is over! And yes, Norma, you turned out just fine! Everyone loves your style. And who doesn't get a kick out of your bloopers!

[@thewhatupdoegirl3584]

I've been coming to Vegas 3x to 4x a year since 2009. But this 10 year NASCAR thing is going to seriously stop me from coming.. Vegas has lost its FUN CRAZY HYPE since COVID.. it's gonna boring, they stop cleaning the streets every morning, and more commercial

[@dynodon100]

I just got back, didn't see you anywhere . Did find Dianaevoni and gamed with her. SUPER LADY !!! Will be back in Dec. hope to see you.

[@DanaDane559]

I love LV & really enjoyed a full week this September! I, too, like Ellis Island, but not for the pizza. Upgrade to the Prime Rib Special! And, yes, people walking slow or STOPPING in the middle of a busy, moving walkway is IRRITATING!!

[@laurens.7510]

Amazing place to have fun and lose weight. My friends and I stay out till mid am hours. We sleep in, maybe go to the pool, get one meal, do some shopping, and walk, walk, walk everywhere. You save a decent amount of $$ and burn off a quick 2-3 lbs in a quick trip (in the warmer months). Also, you see much more on foor

[@jamesmoore8752]

I remember the bike patrol on the strip. Pretty. Cool. They buzz around like a swarm of bees. Police. Thumbs up.

[@adventureswithcarl123]

Very interesting vlog of the pros and cons of las vegas! Thanks for sharing beautiful lady😘😘😘xox

[@jimmarshall5453]

Hi Queen. I know it's a lot of work, but if you put captions naming the locations of every shot you show, you'll get far more viewers and most of those places will get far more business which SHOULD show up in your bottom line. Just Sayin'!

[@koreancanuck]

‘If go to vegas a hundred times, there’s always something different to do every time.’ Definitely agree. That’s why I keep going back. :D

[@ListenLinda_127]

Same I always go back to Vegas cuz each trip there are new things or something different to do.

[@zacharyjames9602]

Took my ma to go see Beatles Love as her moving away present and whilst I LOVE Vegas and would live there if I could my ma said it was one big commercial...

[@TheHoodGuru]

You have to do a tip about finding the old school Shrimp Cocktails in Vegas. My parents live there now but before then we used to come way back, late 70s, 80s, all the way to today. Back then next door to Circus Circus they had hot dogs and Shrimp Cocktails. The cocktails was a dollar and was soo delicious. Seems like back then shrimp cocktails for a buck was everywhere. I still look for something similar today when Im down there. I found one spot that still has a cheap shrimp cocktail somewhere buried in a casino but that was a few years back. cant remember now.

[@jarrakev1]

Hi Norma My daughter is getting married at the bone yard in September 2025 and I will be visiting Vegas for the first time. I live in the the north of the UK so we don't get hot weather much. Also every video seems to be expensive and you need to be a millionaire to go there. Which mid priced hotel would you recommend please. P.S. the Videos a great. Oh and I'm over 60 years old

[@MrLopez746]

I think I spotted another youtube girl in your video. I don't know her name but she's the redheaded girl who is always making fun of her mom in Spanish.

[@NonFlyiingDutchman]

Biggest con to going to Vegas: it's a dump. Second biggest con: everything is absurdly expensive.

[@ericshun5974]

That $3.20 slice of pizza from elis island looked like a paper thin rubber crust with a thin layer of burned cheese. That was edible?

[@meowschwitz666]

another con would be bumping into Kenzo (the laughing lion) on Fremont Street. He’s hella cringe, especially around women.

[@ohhmjesus]

I emailed Owen but he didn't respond back. I want to buy$$ your footage for a project I'm working on, I'm developing an app and I wanted to use a montage.

[@TheJleliot]

The Sphere just posted their parking fee. 100.00 and 125.00 to park for a concert. Will be watching it from afar because no one is that important for me to see to pay for parking

[@alexshapley8331]

👍 should have mentioned how dodgy it is, especially at night, north of Circus Circus

[@PhoenixAura81]

I want to live in Vegas, but this is also a great video if I want to visit the Strip on my own. Also, I LOVE your shirt! Where in the fuck did you get it?

[@timyamasaki8261]

One thing that other nations are so much better than the US is that they tell you what you will actually pay. Taxes, fees, and tips are already included in the total cost. It's ridiculous when they tell you that something costs $20 when your final payment is $200.

[@DesertScorpionKSA]

Vegas has gone downhill to the point where I doubt I will ever return. Downtown used to be cheap and fun. Now it's certainly not cheap anymore. The strip is ridiculous. I might as well vacation somewhere else where I can get a solid value for my money.

[@darrensmith1862]

Hi al i visited Las Vegas last November and if I can recommend pizza, it would be Bonanno's in the Venetian hotel, so good we went back twice.

[@Thunder_6278]

Norma, you got real competition, Babealabe is now living in town and making videos. Up your game.

[@JamesInWisconsin]

Here's another con: Lydia pouring beer on my shoes. (That was our Lydia, right?)

[@SimplyJack3]

You forgot the pro if possibly bumping into you. I do like that you show the downsides, I usually just see buffet videos.

[@user-og3nw6bz9k]

resort fees will stop me from ever staying on the strip. What kind of BS is that. I could go to LA and stay somewhere actually nice and not pay that.

[@raztube90]

2:08 first of all that pizza is not cheap at all…you can get the whole pizza for $4 not a single slice. Also that pizza looks disgusting you can make a better pizza yourself if you get the dough 🤢🤮

[@charlesreimler962]

Update Newest Covid & Flu Vaccine Prior Las Vegas Trip

[@charlesstevens8166]

I prefer Laughlin over Vegas now that I'm pushing 70😂😂

[@martymcgrady5535]

No matter what anyone says the Strip is NOT for minors. Call me a Karen if you choose but there are a number of awesome places around the area but the Strip is NOT for babies.

[@lindacassell1979]

I would never bring my kids to Las Vegas unless they were 21 or older which I took my son when he turned 21 and my daughter

[@lindacassell1979]

Stop calling them resort fees and just up the prices of the resorts boom people will just realized that it’s more expensive to stay in Vegas and stop complaining

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job Norma and los Vegas is perfect travel vacation for me and have great Friday

[@erickruiz-hl5vs]

I’ll be there Nov 30- Dec 4… if I see you… drinks on me 🥃🥃🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@stevem8144]

Norma that pizza dude was rude how he slung your food to you with even a thank you. Hate customer service these days.

[@jthavorn]

Heading there now! Have a nice weekend!

[@CB4basser1]

3:30 ❤ that shirt

[@dray7579]

My con is when im walking slow and stopping, people behind me act irritated.

[@MEL-O.Raiders]

Ellis Island Pizza 🍕. 2 for 1 slices on Thursday and 2 for 1 Large pizza on Sunday 🔥

[@CaptainJeff2000]

You are adorable! And thanks for the good tips coming from a local, appreciate it ❤

[@ravensirony8415]

On my last trip to Vegas every Uber or taxi driver i had said they were "gtfo" of Vegas for the F1.

[@rogerarneson1437]

Go to Ellis for KJ, late night Super stars show up 2 Sing

[@UnexpectedTokens]

first time visiting the your channel... had to do a double take when i saw ana xD

[@lindacassell1979]

Tell us about the trail rides that you can get outside of Vegas something to do amazing like that I’ve done in the past and the place I did it is now closed

[@pat75]

Seeing people WRAPPED in SPACE PANTS: pro or con? 🤔 😆

[@tiffanyc8307]

Love Vegas another pro is having family live there I save money plus no resort fees🤣

[@Redneckboy991]

From Canada. Viva Las Vegas in 8 days at the NY NY. ✈🌃🗽🍺🍸

[@allanvanuga9196]

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

[@roscoemuttley]

Those Grand Prix race will not make more than they spent on the track.

[@shanekline8554]

whAt happened to your bestie you used to film with?? you two were so fun together

[@anthonyhilary5439]

Hey, when are you gonna eat a burger with Every Burger in Vegas channel?

[@christinaramirez9082]

Norma, can you do a what to do for thanksgiving video?

[@rudysianez9844]

What's up with the stratosphere charging parking to their own guests?

[@Boomerman36]

Ellis Island has the best breakfast value in Vegas!!

[@ps31871]

Who goes to the gym in a vacation in las vegas lol, vacations are ment for rest not work 🤣

[@ZENETTI18S]

Funny how you crack open a can of Corona next to the kid and his mom. 😂

[@Ryan2588]

You’ve lived there for 19 years, how old are you?!

[@craigjacobson3832]

Your hat looks great on you. And you speak super well.

[@davidellis5141]

Love that you can have a beer 🍺 ( in a can or plastic ) on the street 😋 !

[@itsemmyvlogs]

What camera do you guys use for filming?

[@Gristow3]

Not being able to buy a lottery ticket in a gambling city is an odd Con.

[@mrohday7515]

great video! was there only a few weeks ago already miss how awesome it is!

[@XblMunchie]

7:23 I don't think I've ever gone to a casino without AC

[@Kangasconrad]

Im in Vegas now and I figured out that Vegas isnt for most people haha

[@barrelvinewhiskeyandwine]

Vegas Baby! Love from Chicago Norma

[@sherryryan1364]

Your so lucky you live in Vegas❤🎉😊😊

[@Idontcare-g1n]

I lived 90 miles from there, their isnt any pros

[@rogerarneson1437]

Mind to Norma. Best Pizza in LV

[@stevesebek7962]

and all the restaurants are overpriced , i ve lived here 12 years

[@jaycheeseman6]

Love going to ellis Island for their BBQ

[@phaysyk]

I don't want to get hit, but i don't mind getting hit on by Norma 😂

[@Murph_.]

I'm so in love with that pizza slice!!!

[@rolandegger3569]

Drinking on the streets? Come over to Europe..

[@keithwarner6997]

O I hope to run into u someday. N hv a hot dog or pizza. I adore u so

[@antosif3]

Went during mid September ( a day after the flood) and it was tough to drive anywhere in town because of the construction. I also wonder if they will ever fix the escalators on the Strip?? I’ve watched all your videos and your advice REALLY helped! Thank you!

[@jobobperry]

I kind like the floods; totally different environment for sure. Smoke bothers me so that is a big con and the hawkers trying to hand you brochures. Plus, there is nowhere to sit inside or out (unless you gamble).

[@BrendaPotter1960]

Such a fun video! Vegas is always so exciting, and you made even the cons sound like pros. With all the con-struction happening on the Strip, you would think Vegas would get a bad wrap, but pro-bably not. Great job Norma! 🌠

[@saltlakesnowbunny3051]

Brenda is definitely a Rockstar, number one Norma supporter I do believe....

[@KevinShaughnessy-mt9jt]

It's a new image . of casual or formal a atire Las Vegas will advertise itself, with a new concept of nightlife It won't have the spring break image of floozy, hangover young tourists on a mission of self destruction to get wrecked Those day are gone or fading The prospect is that an evening sun dress or tie will become the new image of these changes. It's not unlike trying to erase a criminal history The idea, of sin city as a moniker has to go. ...away!! and it will in time
