Great video! The highlight of my second time in Vegas (from Scotland) was NYNY. Such a great crowd of folk at the gambling table and, as a solo traveller, really appreciated that and it made a great first impression. After watching your NYNY room review, will definitely stay there when I return (hopefully soon). All the best from across the pond..

[@manamedia]

Finally, someone who reviews the Luxor as a Best Value for Money Hotel on the strip! I totally agree, have stayed there 12 times and its the best value for money anywhere on the strip.

[@eliseg0001]

Glad that Park MGM got an honorable mention! My best friend and I stayed there and got 3 comped nights so we only paid the resort fee - so worth it! Clean, beautiful property with easy access to Bellagio and Aria on the tram

[@eliseg0001]

@@jmksw636 complementary so free nights! They sometimes give the offer just for having an MGM account so highly recommend making an account and watching for deals. The comped nights are usually for weeknights so if you go for a few nights you can do mid week into the weekend

Planet Hollywood…..what is the $20 trick?

[@firefly314]

Yes to NYNY. It has enough theming to make you feel like you’re in Vegas and the vibes are fun. We were there on a Sunday night in July and bar in the middle of the casino was going nuts with a DJ and dancing. It makes the atmosphere feel fun, not stuffy.

[@jamminj8822]

After all the newer 'corporate' resorts popping up, actually kind of miss the theme hotels like luxor. Hopefully they can redo the property and stay alive.

[@pedro407LV]

Can't believe it didn't make the list but Ballys (Horseshoe) is my favorite "bang for ur buck" hotel, the resort rooms are as cheap as 70$ a night and the rooms are huge. The rooms are renovated with really nice bathrooms and the casino just recently got renovated too. The location is amazing smack dab in the middle of it all. Only con is the pool is super meh

[@ceekay2390]

Between the rooms, the price and the location, that's my go-to hotel every time I'm in Vegas!

[@OrdinaryDude]

I concur about the Sahara. However, you didn't mention that it is on the monorail line so use those MyVegas points for cheaper multi-day passes and have an easy way to center strip.

[@TravelRuby]

doh! great tip Derek!

[@MikeyD2787]

SO MANY Vegas vloggers sleep on the monorail!! Yes, you have to pay for it, but it is SO CONVENIENT if you like to hotel hop! Way cheaper than Uber, and you can get to just about everywhere (except Resorts World) within a reasonable walking distance. Also if you're driving... park at a place with free parking like Westgate and monorail the rest of the way.

[@connormillington8003]

I went to vegas last year first time and stayed at the Sahara. Monorail was a life saver and 100% worth it

[@youbettercalltyrone713]

My first trip to Vegas was September last year. The monorail was tired of me, I was on it every chance I could.

[@cazu2479]

@@connormillington8003 what would you rate the Sahara out of 10?

[@crunchers9]

If you are a MGM Rewards member you will get e-mails for 3-5 nights free at most of their properties. You do have to pay resort fees and an outrageous parking fee, but still much cheaper than paying for a room (plus those fees) elsewhere.

[@smooshiebear80]

I think that’s only if you gamble, though. I realize most people probably do, but if you don’t it’s an important piece of information to know.

[@ladyboomer1765]

I think getting the MGM credit card is worth it if you drive since you are automatically moved to pearl status and get free parking on any MGM property.

[@wendywoo9880]

Thank you for showing The Luxor some love. I feel like it gets a lot of negative reviews due to its age and the other / newer higher-end hotels on the strip. I've stayed in The Luxor 7 out of the 8 times I've been to Vegas and its still my favourite 😍

the location sucks

[@lianelayman6584]

Yea my room was nice in 2021 when I was there in the Pyramid section and I only paid $55. The reason I didn't stay at Circus Circus like I usually do is because a convention was in town and the rooms were too much money.

[@Dusterbugless]

Disgusting hotel. One of the worst. Couldn’t pay me to stay there. Not the worse though

I have been to Vegas many times and New York New York most recently. I found it to be perfect for my needs (Gambling and Rest). I would love for you to do a Parking in Vegas Video.

You have some real talent, you are beautiful, and seem really kind.

[@BezmenovDisciple]

I would also like this parking idea.

[@IndieCindy3]

I’ve stayed at Luxor and NYNY. Great experiences at both, but yes, at Luxor you’ll be doing quite a lot of walking depending on where your room is. I remember being so hungry but so tired that I was struggling to get out of bed and make the trek out to their food court. 😅 As for NYNY, it was just perfect for me. Like you said, it gets quite a lot of action, but since it’s not at the center of the strip it doesn’t get the crazy party scene (which I am definitely not a part of). Plus, it’s right next door to the T-Mobile Arena. I usually visit Vegas to see a show or two, and I like to stay within walking distance.

[@marcusmacdonald5277]

Having stayed at NYNY, The Venetian, and Luxor, I can attest to all of that. This experience carries when I attend Vegas Golden Knights games at T-Mobile Arena, which is near NYNY.

[@andreahall7610]

The first place I stayed was the Luxor in the Pyramid. We had a massive room but I did not enjoy my stay at all. After staying at many different hotels in Vegas, this was right at the bottom. Planet Hollywood has seen me 2x and highly recommend to my friends. The location is great and the suites are clean and well kept. The whole place is great for dining. I have heard great things about Resorts World and will definitely try it out. They have to get rid of the resort fees,especially for those who never use them. I heard good things about the renovated rooms. They always had good food choices. I did the roller coaster back in 2019. Dear Lord! Great review Ruby.

[@laurancurtis5669]

Was that the roller coaster at NYNY, or is there another one now? It's been over 20 years since I was there.

[@paulfountain3295]

I had a few nights at Park MGM recently and it was good, and so nice without the smoke, but the place I feel like I have had the best value at is the Tuscany Suites a bit off strip on East Flamingo. Perhaps not as much on the property in terms of dining options but there is plenty nearby, and I like the more relaxed vibe of this property.

[@ststst981]

Loved the Tuscany but they removed all the table games, so if i wanna gamble i need to make the trek to the strip

[@sean9923]

My first time in Vegas last month I was at the park mgm and thought it was good for the price and yes the smoke free was good and I smoke and I didn't care about smoking inside the casino I probably preferred not to

[@pam_and_eggs]

Excellent review. Crisp, concise, and so informative. I learned more from your one video than I have by watching multiple videos on other channels. A-plus. 😀

[@markcummings3146]

Definitely agree about Luxor, it's pricing is how Vegas used to be! The only draw back for me is location with it being right at the bottom of the strip.

[@markcummings3146]

Stayed at the Linq this year, it's definitely a budget hotel with great location but for me I wouldn't recommend it unless you genuinely want to do it as cheap as possible. We stayed at Mirage just afterward for not too much more and that was way better.

[@brianheffernan5434]

Great video, Ruby. I wish they would get rid of the resort fees or tell you upfront. Greetings from Columbus, Ohio, Happy New Year to you and your husband.

[@baronpen]

Of the hotels listed, I've stayed at Luxor and NYNY. At Luxor, I stayed in a Pyramid room, and it was HUGE. The location didn't bother me since the hotels in that part of the strip are so close to each other and connected. At NYNY, even though the room was smaller, the hotel was better overall. NYNY is one of my favorite hotels for dining (Venetian being the other one). Last time I was in Vegas, I stayed at MGM Grand but ate most of my meals at NYNY.

[@texadonkey34]

That’s nice to hear. Young people, luv to hate the Luxor. I don’t understand that. Are they hanging out in the room all weekend. 🤣

[@bambinaforever1402]

Bellagio with fountains view room is the only place to stay. Does not matter the size of a room. After busy day sitting and watching fountains, sipping wine - bliss. I personally would never stay in any other than that. We stayed in San Francisco in a hotel facing the same hotel windows, so no view - that was awful. When u do not know what u re missing it does not bother u. But when u have nowhere to look out of your window it suddenly becomes very important. And we did not stay in our room all the time either. But when u come after sightseeing it is nice to unwind.

[@zenmaster9195]

Planet Hollywood has awesome customer service. I ended up having a little car accident last time I was in Vegas, and OMG the people that work there are ANGELS 😇. They went above and beyond for me. And I love the hotel, everything you could need is a short walk away. I love them!

[@rb5078]

Not all young people want to party and not all old people want to relax. Is there a good place to stay that’s in between? What about the Cosmopolitan?

[@natureboy1313]

Rent a short term condo or time share. U will have a full kitchen and separate bedrooms. Free parking and no resort fees.

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

Cosmo felt like that. Very nice rooms, the wicked spoon and it had a very appealing vibe. It’s been a few years but I enjoyed it back then. They also give good discounts after you stay there. They would constantly send out discounts for me to stay again. In fact one was a complimentary night free and it was great! Hope that helps good luck!

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

SOUTHPOINTE IS THE BEST..

[@JarelGray]

Bah humbug

[@Daftchild89]

I really enjoyed my last stay at Treasure island. The cvs on property came in clutch. Casino and pool were great and the monorail to mirage was nice. And of course free parking

[@Gold-Standard]

After this review, I may have to try the Luxor again. I'd heard it was getting old (at least the pyramid) but I have fond memories of Luxor because we stayed there on opening day. I hope they have improved the casino though. I haven't played there in years but I was never crazy about their casino floor.

[@joshuaseaton4526]

They've been doing a lot of work there, rooms, lobby areas, etc. I am probably going to stay there later this year when we go back in November, will be there in a couple of weeks and we usually stay at the Flamingo (comps).

[@NetCerpher]

Good news! You can go somewhere else!

[@IlseHopper]

Could you do a video on the Vegas hotels with most comfortable mattresses? I know it seems like, what's the big deal? But I went on vacation, one time and could not fall asleep because the mattress was basically like a slab of concrete with a sheet over it. I ended up having to line up the pillows and sleep over them. Quality sleep is important, even on vacation, or you will be cranky.

[@Lela-plants]

[@suebrayton1554]

Do u know a hotel that can accommodate a hoyer lift for disabilities. And a lift to get into the pool

[@bethmctv9317]

Planet Hollywood is great for proximity and food choices near by. Another plus is the Uber/Lyft stop there is not as bad of a haul to get to than the other hotels. I only wish the monorail stop was closer and you didn’t have to go 2 -3 hotels to jump on. Opted for view of the Bellagio fountains however beds were on opposite wall so you couldn’t see them from bed or any other seating in room (only if you stood at the window). Would have been worth the upgrade if your room is set up the other direction (which there are some). Also, there is a night club somewhere below nearby so that music bumping went until probably 2 am.

[@jamesmcallister8124]

Just my opinion but I think the Horseshoe is a great value. Right across from the Bellagio & Caesars Palace, ill admit rooms arent the nicest but they do come with a mini fridge to store some drinks. Considering how its one of the cheaper place on the strip I think its a great value

[@Wanderlustwithjess50]

I am surprised you didn't mention the Horseshoe. It doesn't have some of the advantages of the other hotels but is certainly on par with Planet Hollywood. However, the price starts weekdays at $35 a night standard room which is about 450sq. ft. and you dead-center strip. That means for under $85 including taxes and resort fees you can have a nice stay!

[@evandlx]

Hell yeah I just booked here without seeing

[@mikaylaziolkowski1565]

I stayed at Horseshoe when it was Bally's last time I was in vegas and it was awful. Although the room was big and the bathroom was pretty decent for a vegas hotel it took literally almost 10-15 minutes just to get to the strip every time. With them changing to horseshoe it may have improved but also a lot of dining was closed when I went there.

[@Wanderlustwithjess50]

@@mikaylaziolkowski1565 well I have stayed there for years. Yes,that is true but most big hotels it takes time to get to the Strip. Bellagio, Mirage and many more. They do want you to go through the casino. Horseshoe has a small selection of restaurants. Still does.

My budget list is the Linq, The Signature and Casino Royale (which is often sold out for good reason.) I got a deal at MGM Grand for late January for super cheap, but no hotel fluctuates more between cheap and expensive than MGM. I had a lot of fun at NYNY pool though (just adults.) Honorable mention to Hampton Inn.

[@twinpeaks1487]

On october we went to the Casino Royale and the room was nice although it was on the ground floor and we have to leave the window screen closed (very sketchy and druggie people around)The casino itself and the surrounding were a bit sketchy and not very pleasant ut for the price and the location it was a decent choice

[@kimoehler9411]

All great choices. I think Luxor is a great location but not center strip. Easy access to Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM Grand, NYNY and Tropicana (I hope they do something with Tropicana - it used to be fun)

The shower pressure at Park MGM, formerly the Monte Carlo, has been very poor on several stays. Planet Hollywood is the ONLY Caesars property hotel left that has an oversized tub in a “standard” room.

[@selectshelley]

Good analysis. I’ve stayed at the Luxor several times and thought was fine. Because transportation to get up the strip is readily available, the location was not an issue.

[@bbokc6942]

i have been to vegas about 24-25 times and i have stayed at almost every hotel. my favorite hotels if i am going with friends are Wynn, Venetian/Pallazo, Cosmopolitan and Vdara, if i am staying by myself i will do the Linc. i have learned after your 3-4 time everything you wanna tends to be center strip, anything south of aria or north of wynn is too out of the way to be convienent.. Linc is definately a great option, and perfect location. Vdara gets overlooked and every room has a full kitchen and washer and dryer. its often really cheap to stay at and if you have a family the kitchen and washer/dryer will save you a lot of money and hassle

My wife and I are staying at Paris and Luxor end of April both comped from the last time we visited...looking forward to it

[@bryannelson6139]

Luxor is spot on for a great value. I agree with you. The tower is better than the pyramid, but for a different reason. While it’s fun to stay in the pyramid, beware that when the hotel is near capacity, the inclinators cannot keep up with the crowds, the lines are long. The inclinators are old and slow and many of them are broken. We were there on Labor Day, and the inclinator lines and wait times were intolerable. We switched to the tower for a slightly higher price, and they have several high-speed modern elevators, and even though the hotel was at capacity, there was never a line there. So I recommend a tower stay!

[@granthenderson696]

Sorry but what is an inclinator?

I tipped $20 and they bragged that they were giving me a room with a strip view. Still one of my favorite hotels... but I'm afraid they might be tightening the belt with upgrades.

[@R.Hogarth]

My go to for a good value mid to upper range is the Elara. It is all suites, priced as if it is "off Strip", but connected to both the Miracle Mile & Planet Hollywood. Additionally, like Resorts World, it is a Hilton Grand Vacations Resort so if you belong to the Hilton Honors loyalty program, that can be a bonus.

[@emailuser8668]

While Elara is nice, it's a timeshare property so hotel guests have to go through a timeshare presentation or pay an additional fee for the hotel room, this can be a real joykill. There's no restaurant, the bar and gift shop are a rip off. The pluses are it's walking distance to Planet Hollywood and has a large pool which doesn't get too crowded during pool season.

[@R.Hogarth]

@@emailuser8668 I have never had to either attend a Timeshare Presentation nor pay extra because I didn't. They did however try to get me to attend, but I declined with no issues and no extra charges. Your claim might have been true once, but it is no longer an issue. Given the number of restaurants in both the Miracle Mile Shops and in PH, I didn't find the lack of hotels an issue.

Great job, Ruby! But I have to say that you didn’t have Mandalay Bay on your list. I went there 2 times and I loved it! Still do! Last time, I paid $254 for 2 nights (including a deposit). Great food, hot games and beautiful, spacious rooms with a King sized bed to die for! I’d love to go back again, but I’m open for some more suggestions like Luxor, New York, New York and Park MGM. Again, great job and thanks!

Its always good to have a closet to come out of😋😋

Gay 😂

@@Eliht01 Yes, very, very happy...

[@iamric23]

Nice presentation. What I was looking for was the noise level in the rooms from the street noise, to me, that's important if I am trying to sleep. Maybe you could include that next time.

[@juliopaez4516]

Even if I want to party I would not stay at a party hotel. I still want to be in a non party hotel so that I can sleep without all the noise. If the room next door is a part town because of all the young people staying, it becomes a nightmare.

[@laurancurtis5669]

Same here, I don't mind partying but I don't every night, and I really like my sleep!

[@DeannaSmith-oj3kj]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Melinaviolino]

That’s a great point

[@markvaughan3461]

Funny that you mentioned the water pressure at Park MGM. I stayed there earlier this week, and the shower pressure was absolutely awful. I spent a lot of time in the shower trying to clean off after swimming. I love that the hotel is completely non-smoking though.

[@stephengrogan]

Think we need a fresh batch of $20 trick videos for 2023 especially to see what can be offered across the strip in today’s economy 👌🏻

[@emailuser8668]

For those wanting the vacation feel experience, Ruby's list is great. Though Resorts World Hilton being affordable luxury, that's a stretch, only if you stay at the hotel which is nice, but don't eat or drink there. All of Resorts World is cashless, except the casino, so you have to pay for everything with a credit/debit card and ALL the restaurants/bars/lounges are very expensive, NO bargains, even the fast food/casual Food Hall are too high where 1 item like a salad starts at $20, lunch with drink $50.

[@885Blackjack]

The Strip is for noobs who don't know they’re playing fake table games. Period.

[@histubeness]

@@885Blackjack They're.

[@matthowell8985]

I think Cabana suites at El Cortez are a good value. Under $100 with resort fee and tax. 400 ft² and nice interior.

[@trinamiller100]

My best hotel is Caesars Palace and Bellagio.

[@marieip1122]

We are staying at Caesars in May , any good tips as it’s our first visit to Las Vegas . thank you

[@MrTy2K]

@@marieip1122 dont buy your drinks and snacks in the hotel, go to a CVS, Walgreens or ABC store much cheaper there.

[@marieip1122]

Thank you I thought so that inside the resorts everything will be more expensive

[@smooshiebear80]

Of course, they are also three times the price! Lol, this vid is for best value, i.e. BUDGET hotels. :)

[@HeavenNY]

I used to LOVE staying at the Rio. The rooms were suites and worked so well when multiple females are sharing a room. But sadly I heard that they never updated anything and it’s like being stuck in a time capsule. That’s too bad. They had amazing pools! Loved the adult pool with the bar!

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

There's a new owner being brought in for the Rio, so let's hope there's gonna be upgrades and improvements! I hope to see it shine again.

[@Bullweenkle]

Casino Royale. Right in the middle of everything with no resort fees and free parking. Who spends time in the room anyway?

[@smooshiebear80]

People that need a break from all the noise, lights, and other people. Some people need down time and rest!

[@DeannaSmith-oj3kj]

Exactly! I like to relax in my room on vacation as well as other activities

[@williambush7971]

Great to hear NYNY upped their game. We used to stay there a lot but then it got shabby and dirty and we moved on. Another thing I hated is most of the restaurants in the food hall closed early. I think around 10. We always wanted to grab something to take back to the room and couldn't.

[@layneroschen1487]

Luxor is no better than Excalibur

[@jeffreymodesitt3345]

What are you on about, the difference is like night and day my man

[@fangsbites]

Love your recommendations. Thank you for including taxes and resort fees. Appreciate you!!!

[@paintballhallic]

We stayed at luor and planet Hollywood. No comparison. Luxor is so much better. My planet hollywood stay was horrible. The carpet everywhere is disgusting. My drains, shower, tub, toilet all backed up. Room doesn't get house keeping. A ton of bums inside and outside. I did side by side pictures of both. There is no doubt I will never stay at planet hollywood again. I will for sure stay a Luxor again. Read planet Hollywood reviews and you will see a trend. The casino host at Luxor was friendly and very helpful. The casino host for a diamond member at planet hollywood I felt like I was a inconvenience to him.

[@allans7281]

Fun video good information. The Luxor tower like you said is very nice for the money

[@RGesty]

Another great tip video. Thank you! Congrats on breaking 200k!!!

[@TritonPlz]

I am visiting Vegas soon and your videos have been VERY helpful. What is the $20 trick at the hotels to upgrade rooms?

[@RN4L1990]

This list is 100% accurate. I've stayed at all of them recently.

[@MrSamurai47]

I’ve been subscribed for a couple years now and I love watching your videos. I love how real you are. I’m going to Vegas soon and I’m literally studying your videos. Thanks for the content and can’t wait to see what comes next this year for your channel.

[@gailene62]

the best deal is renting a time share from skyauction for 350 a week on up with no resort fees. i stay at tahiti village every year. its like a trip to hawaii but much cheaper. sometime i might even take the timeshare tour and get an extra hundred dollars from them. its a win win just never buy the timeshare.

[@wilderjess]

Love your videos!! I got that bell ringing! 😂 I miss Vegas so much and am planning trips, really appreciate your efforts to share info and experience! You're awesome!!! Keep it UP in 2023!!! 🎉

[@stephanieg9089]

Great choices, glad someone talked about New York New York. I would have loved MGM grand to be on this list, my favorite hotel and I feel like it’s more reasonably priced and doesn’t get much attention.

[@willaoden5491]

I STAYED AT THE LUXOR LAST YEAR . I HAD A GREAT ROOM. VERY COMFORTABLE. THE BUFFET I DIDN'T CARE FOR SO I WENT TO ANOTHER HOTEL. 😊😊

[@Sam-M7]

Strange that KZbin recommend this video. I haven’t stepped foot in Las Vegas since 2002 and have zero desire to ever go back.

[@garyny4073]

Why sam ? 😮

[@raphaelhudon6744]

Hello, just to tell you that your chronicles are pleasant. I can now say that I have been to Vegas thanks to RUBY!

[@aaron5877]

Staying at Harrah’s for the first time in a couple of weeks… been going to Vegas for almost 30 years now and feel proud to have graduated to the hotel for old people lol

[@robertlee3778]

awesome video. i have not stayed at any of these hotels, and i can see many of your view points, such as having Planet Hollywood as being such a good value (and yes, it definitely is a great location). Out of all of them, I think I would be enticed to stay at NY, NY, but truthfully, perhaps, next time, I will most likely stay off-strip (/not that super far off-strip) Vegas. anyhow, great video in terms of hotel selection and also how you assessed the various areas such casino and pool areas. Thanks for the heads up about Linq.
