Thanks to Elizabeth and Scott for their generosity!

[@the_benjamin_effect]

I always say it and I always mean it - thanks for yet another great video.

[@panjo]

Cosmo is nice 👍

[@tbro421]

What a wonderful episode. My mom loved Liberace. We spent a day looking for relics years ago and got to see his Vegas house almost in ruins. But you guys have filled in all the blanks and I can’t wait to visit Tivoli. Thanks again!

[@maryannmcpherson2811]

Loved your vlog today! Every time you guys take us along I swear my face has a smile on it that never ends until the vlog does! Dale and Paula don't ever stop taking us along on your adventures. They are fun, uplifting and come with a sprinkle of history behind each and every place you visit! Have a wonderful day you two! 🙂🙂

[@TheVictorCruz]

Anyone who hasn't stayed at Cosmo and are debating whether or not...do it!! Totally recommend the fountain veiw room with balcony. Big room, Japanese soaking tub(!) and excellent accommodations. Yes, it's pricey but it's absolutely worth the price. Nothing like room service on the balcony. Give yourself a treat and book that Cosmo room. And again Dale and Paula...great video.

[@ThereIsJustSomethingAboutVegas]

A vlog so nice, I had to watch it twice! For shining such a bright light on our beloved Las Vegas, you should be comped and comped and comped everywhere you go! 🥳 Thanks, as always! 💜👏🥂💜

[@mm16046]

Dale and Paula's videos always make me want to visit LV! Also we love the editing and funny additions, like buff Dale. 😂😂

[@NeilMacedo]

Great video Dale and Paula, I enjoyed eating at Secret Pizza and Eggslut.

[@bobeldredge282]

What a great blessing!

[@terrirobinson3876]

What an awesome time y'all had. It's been years since we did a staycation. I really appreciate y'all showing your receipts so we know how much things cost.

[@billandlisa]

Such a fun staycation, guys! Y'all hit up the good eats!!

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

Wonderful!!! Thank you both!!! Look forward to Paula’s kitchen!!

[@AunH]

I LOVE the Verbena drink😎

[@kathyschumann5368]

Big thank you to Elizabeth and Scott! Dale and Paula thank you for sharing your staycation with us. I definitely want to stay there sometime.

[@Louise_C3]

Looks like a great stay! Paula i so appreciate that you need your morning hot tea just like me.

[@jeffreycharles5035]

Your writing and editing are just top notch!

[@tfsonicyouth88]

Booked next weekend excited

[@frontiertina]

Wow! So generous of Elizabeth and Scott 👏👏! Very nice room and view 👍! Cosmo is on our to do list for sure … someday 👍! The restaurant choices are outstanding! We always forget about Secret Pizza … bc it’s hush, hush🤫🤐! Lol 😂! The Chandelier Bar is beautiful 🤩! A Vlogger is gonna Vlog 🎥😂! It just happens 👍! This was fun and so glad to see you guys enjoy this special gift ❤️!

[@travelnjoi]

Wonderful video as always. Lots to see and do at the Cosmo. Thanks for posting!

[@groversmith7365]

Though we most often stay at the Venetian, every trip to Vegas must include playing at the Cosmo. We plan around getting a Latte and almond croissant from Va Bene for breakfast and 2 slices of Secrets Pizza for lunch. Best almond croissants I've ever had the pizza is the real deal. Great crust! Cosmo did comp my wife a 3 night stay one time and our room could have been the one you stayed in. The first night, our next door neighbors came in at 330 a.m., cranked up a boom box and tried to talk over it. Called security 3 times before they shut it down. Not a good night. I'd stay there again though, if we get comped.

[@jesusisfaithful7]

WOW THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EXCITING TO WATCH VIDEO. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT JOB. VERY NICE ROOM AND HOTEL.👍🏼😁😍

[@kyleh698]

What an amazing staycation! thank you to Elizabeth and Scott! THE VIEW ALONE WAS GORGEOUS!!!!! Thanks for filming!

[@nicoleherman1315]

Chandelier bar is fantastic. I absolutely love going there. Cocktails are excellent and ambiance is unmatched. Can’t wait to finally stay at cosmo for the first time in the fountain view suite for Christmas 🎄!! Going to be amazing. Great video, the voiceover is so high quality! Best I’ve heard

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you so much, that compliment really means a lot. 😊 We have stayed in a fountain view suite with the balcony twice in the past, and it’s really great - enjoy your stay!

[@marcinkow]

Thanks!

[@DaleMcKenzie]

Thank you so much for the tip! :)

[@kims1941]

Another great video! We love the Cosmo too!

[@alyssadiceflipper5201]

That was so nice of that couple to gift the nts to you guys! You deserved it.

[@joseph6948]

Dale, I enjoy the quality of you're narration! (Paula too)!

[@callmefrog76]

Great video, love Cosmo. That view at 5:05, GYATT…. 😮

[@josephwagner2816]

Great show as always. Thanks

[@elainegottwald2878]

Loved your video, can't wait until Wednesday.

[@tovielu5461]

Enjoy. Love it

[@FrontiersmanAdventures]

This should be awesome! We have been in the cosmo many times, visited other KZbinrs rooms, but have never stayed. Maybe one day! The City room looks nice. The Cosmopolitan bath rooms are so nice. That is one awesome view. 53rd floor. That scares me! I love Holstein's, it was so good. They do have great burgers. Good for Dale, I am proud of him for sticking to his abstention from alcohol. Nice looking sports book. I have not had Eggslut, but I have eaten at Suns Out, Buns Out at Resorts World, which is similar and very good. I do like District Donuts, and Lardo. Lardo is great. Hahaha! Buff Dale with his Protein Shake. That Boulevard Pool looks awesome. Secret Pizza. We need to try that sometime. I don't know how many times I have said I am not going to vlog, and then I ended up vlogging.

[@annieis300]

Thank you for another awesome vlog!!! ❤❤❤

[@lindamemo5224]

And cosmo is M life so those M life rewards will help. That bar is epic.

[@elizabethraines9579]

Wonderful information and so helpful!

[@beejay5274]

Love the video, as always, but can’t imagine staying at our fave, Cosmo, without a balcony!!

[@clairepierson15]

enjoyed this video of yu two that was nice of yur friends to get yur room

[@dennisslepak4095]

Thanks so much for doing this videos. I live in Henderson and love learning about all of the wonder that’s Las Vegas! Keep up your good work Cheers❤

[@privatename5899]

You two always put out high quality, comprehensive masterpieces! As always, the editing is stellar and the narration is worded fantastically.

[@alisonsarahcarroll6063]

That’s brilliant a free hotel room

[@thomasjohn3608]

Another great video Thank you

[@gmajoanne5692]

Well done video guys! I certainly enjoyed watching! 💜💜

[@DanBriggs3000]

The folks are back in style! Great video,

[@jrgiv6]

Wow what a great gift to an amazing couple, love your videos . Thanks to Elizabeth and Scott for your generosity >

[@XZOL445]

Very generous viewers! Thanks for the vlog!!!

[@jazzyd5507]

I can't resist getting extra food on vacation either :) Great video.

[@LuisSanchez-iw7bi]

Great video Dale and Paula, as always. It seems to me that Cosmo is more a launching point than a destination , the Hotel rooms are nondescript, smallish, sure the views are good, and that's the point, good place to plan your Vegas visit, go to Bellagio, go to Paris, go to.... nothing to draw you in, except for some eateries and the bar. No theme at all. If i'm there just as a rest area, and a parting place to some other attractions, fine, but like I said, as a destination, nope, not my favorite place, I've always loved the themed places, they attract me, even the older ones. Again, great video Dale and Paula, wouldn't miss one video!

[@andysorensen1737]

I’m in a similar boat Luis, I was here earlier this month for a concert and while it was nice to get there a couple hours early to check things out and getting a meal, I could absolutely see myself just doing that. No real desire to actually stay here, but a fun place to visit.

[@sweeney0558]

WONDERFUL VIDEO THANKS

[@julieonthesummit]

Love your vlog, and you are at my favorite hotel!

[@busterbud]

Great video, and "free" is a very good price!

[@garypetermeier3865]

Love this hotel and I stayed there right after the pandemic hit in 2020. I got a really great deal in January 2021 and had a room with a balcony in the other tower, the Boulevard. One of my best stays in Vegas! Great Video Unfortunately I could not experience the pool because They were closed in January.

[@yvettekelley2155]

Hello Dale and Paula I watched this video a second time because I'm considering a staycation at the Cosmo maybe even a balcony if I can afford that. Thank you for showing the pool area looks like you do not even need to leave the hotel it has it all! Best regards to you both.

[@DaleMcKenzie]

We love it that you watched it again - thank you!

[@jillczerwinski8870]

Kewl staycation! Thank you to Elizabeth & Scott for the gift!

[@donnawalker147]

What a neat video... just loved it and I was hungry after viewing this!!! So nice of your friends to gift you this stay ❤

[@marleneroberts2257]

Another great video!

[@heartquaked]

Thank you!! We were in Vegas last week and walked through the cosmopolitan a few times. Somehow, it always smells like marshmallows to me in there. Anyone else?! 😂 I love it.

[@bettynesbitt4503]

You so deserve this treat, big hugs. Someone should show this vlog to the cosmo execs.😊

[@VegasAction]

Always enjoy the Cosmo and your videos! ❤❤❤

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

I found things to be too expensive, but I am sure tastes good.

[@maxsipmeier5366]

Viele Dank Paula und Dan für Das interessante Video liebe Grüße von Elisabeth und Max aus Straubing

[@BNaturalStudios]

What an amazing job covering the Cosmo. Love love love.

[@willyvaldez7137]

I look forward to hearing from you

[@austinmejia3210]

Vesper bar is my favorite for nice quality cocktails 9:26

[@rockyvilla1428]

Awesome video!🎉❤

[@BagsByCABYarnTravels]

What a fabulous stay-cation you two! Thank you sooooo much Paula and Dale!. I have four more weeks and I am there. Can't wait! Enjoy your week! CAB 😍

[@ghosttownhunts]

I'm Popeye the sailor man! Good job Dale hang in there!

[@VoteAdnanShahab]

Dale and Paula, I did a comped staycation at The Cosmopolitan the weekend before you guys were there. Then, I was doing a comped staycation over at Bellagio while you were staying at Cosmopolitan. And on that windy Monday, I went to Dive-In Movies at Boulevard Pool to watch "Elvis" for a second time. I swear, you guys and I seem to be in the same general vicinity lots of times. One of these days, I'm going to actually run into you in person. LOL. As for the walkway they are building to connect Cosmo with Bellagio/Vdara, there used to be a sign up saying that it was expected to be complete in "Fall 2023". But I noticed that sign has now been removed. I don't know if that means construction is running behind schedule or not, but I definitely noticed that change.

[@Go4Corvette]

The OverLook grill, remember the Overlook Hotel from the movie The Shining, look out for Jack. Have fun, Mike

[@DavidJones-vv2df]

I really enjoyed this staycation! Well I always enjoy your videos. I have not stayed at the Cosmopolitan before but y’all sure made it look inviting. (FYI: I am an MGM stockholder so I hope it does extremely well). Thanks again and keep up the great work.

[@giojo01]

This video is done beautifully. Ive stayed at the Cosmo a few times but this video has me all excited again for my next stay in August. Love the Cosmo!

[@PhilipGuest]

A beautiful summer afternoon here in the UK but come 4 pm, we stopped what we were doing for a cup of tea as soon as your latest video dropped. The Cosmo is our favourite hotel in Vegas, so this was a very special one for us. Bravo guys! 👏👏👏

[@lindapennington6380]

Another great video. The Cosmo is beautiful and enjoyed seeing the room. Will have to put it on my list of places to stay in my next trip. Thank you Dale and Paula for another great adventure!❤❤❤

[@clarissaflores3102]

Thanks for the scoop. I learned a few new things since my one and only quick visit of this property. Paula- your lack of tea was a sad thing, especially considering the cost of that juice. Ouch. It made me remember to make a suggestion: How about some afternoon tea experiences? I believe they have it at Waldorf Astoria. The Petrosian at Bellagio too. Aria lobby lounge and RiRa pub offered it pre-covid. Not sure these days what does and doesn't still exist. Just an idea. If I lived in Vegas, I'd invite and treat. Maybe someday.

[@monicasanders810]

You are correct they still have afternoon tea at Waldorf Astoria and I agree that would be a great video.

[@marydriskell2106]

Cosmo looks like a great place to visit! Such a nice get away for you!! ❤️❤️

[@stephaniehenry571]

Great video

[@sweetlifehappywife3460]

This eating 4 meals by noon reminds me of me & my hubby in Vegas. Heck why not?! You’re on vacation! 😂🎉 great video!!!

[@girlsgonefood]

This looked like a super fun stay!

[@Christine_1075]

Hello 👋🏽 Dale & Paula 😊

[@citibear57]

This was great! You are always so much fun to watch and listen to. It was fantastic that Elizabeth and Scott covered the cost of your stay. What wonderful people! I was disappointed that Dale never had a steak as, at first, I thought you two were going to have a steak-cation. Nothing but steak for 48 hours!!😂

[@yvonnedee1122]

What a great gift!! The Cosmo is the best 😊 nice staycation vlog!!

[@ohdogwow2]

Nice video. I really enjoyed your staycation. I hope MGM doesn't MGM the place after they fully take over; namely with the food.

[@zaripi24]

❤

[@celiadileone2841]

Loved your staycation! The cosmopolitan is a beautiful place. I think we’ll have to try secret pizza next time! Or was it hidden pizza?? Dale, how was the non alcoholic St Pauli girl? Thanks for taking us along. You two are top notch. Stay well❤

[@AlbertoRodriguez-dl8mw]

Good video

[@RPMCanes]

I usually have a couple of Vegas staple restaurants that I try to hit on each trip, but I try to sneak two new ones into try. I really hope that MGM does not screw that place up.

[@Allison-jj1vq]

Thanks for another Vegas moment until my annual Vegas vacation.

[@franklapinski1178]

Good morning ❤great great job on the video a must see fir me never was there before and I will Go to eddskut and the pizza place thanks hope to see you both in sept

[@debbiemata9025]

I loved it. I hope you had a wonderful time.

[@Impozalla]

The cosmopolitan hotel is definitely one of my favorite hotels on The Las Vegas strip. The vibe, the people, the amount of prostitutes that all frequent the cosmopolitan are uniquely unmatched. And of course, you can't go wrong staying at the Aria as well. Great video guys!

[@jKDC1987]

❤❤ it! Hope you guys had fun !
