Last Summer, I stayed at Hilton in RW for $140/day for a few days. Small and compact but new and nice.. I played roulette and baccarat at Crockfords high limit and won a couple thousand bucks which helped pay for abundant foods and hotel stay there. Can't wait to be back next year!

[@MisterJorge-f1l]

Good for you.

[@gustywind-de7xb]

I personally prefer smaller and nicer rooms over larger ones.

[@Sobabe-el5ke]

Resort World is so big you could get lost inside!

[@jondoe9548]

Never been to Vegas.. $140 sounds reasonable for a new hotel.

[@jorgegarcia3635]

After our stay at the Conrad, we never went back to Hilton. We loved everything about the Conrad! Highly recommend! I hope they never change the toiletries, they're amazing.

[@LPOneThree]

I'm glad you gave a shout out to Mandalay Bay, I also feel it's underrated.

[@Turtle82983]

Love Resorts World. Booked a stay at the end of January. So excited to go back.

[@ozfan1958]

Excellent video Ruby. Thank you. One of the great things about the Cosmopolitan Hotel is that during the holiday season, they have The Ice Rink at the Boulevard Pool. Amazing. Fun thing to do in Las Vegas. LOL, ice-skating!

[@libracj925]

You always present an excellent review!!

[@Scantronimus466]

I got a free night stay at Wynn during Covid, as they were doing a “thank you” promotion for medical professionals and first responders. Amazing resort and I hope to do another stay with them in the future.

[@sadclown14]

Too bad their slots are tighter than a nun’s chuff

[@l.harvey8243]

Yes, I agree. Wynn rooms are lux and spacious! We have been comped there as well as Encore. Had a birthday at the outdoor pool. Pretty amazing! Played at Golden Nugget and loved being by the pool. Awesome slide.

[@zalaelle190]

Love this vid, please keep these coming Ruby! 💜

[@pharoahworld_class_hustlae9997]

My Favorite 5. The Venetian/Palazzo. The Cosmopolitan, Fountainbleu. The Wynn/Encore and Ceasars Palace

[@rondayoung2575]

I also like the Venetian/Palazzo, the Wynn/Encore , especially the Encore however, the rooms at the Encore are needing a face lift. It’s the same Decor since I’ve been going after it was built.

[@pharoahworld_class_hustlae9997]

[@doods20fer41]

@@rondayoung2575 Venetian/Palazzo should be there too in Top 5-10, the rooms are roomy & nice, plus there's a lot of restaurants option to eat & have shopping area inside

@@doods20fer41 and don’t forget the Gondola in the middle of all the the shopping center

[@darrellpark5784]

We usually stay at Mandalay or Delano as it truly is a great value. We buy the parking with our stay and love that we can drive to other MGM resorts and park for "free." I'm hoping that the upgrade Delano now that it is being rebranded as the W. Thank you, Ruby, as always, and I hope you and Mr. Ruby, have a Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year!

[@mandih886]

This video comes at a great time! My husband and I are planning a trip to Vegas soon and we're researching hotels.

[@fasten66]

Thanks Ruby!

[@Elle_Em_Ess]

Love to see when you’ve posted new content to both channels!❤ Any chance we can get a LIVE on either of your channels sometime soon?😊

[@Spartan87667]

I’ve only stayed at Resorts World, out of the hotels on this list, and it was an amazing stay. Definitely great dining, from casual to high end, and the rooms at the Hilton are awesome. I have yet to stay at Conrad or Crockfords. Mandalay Bay is an amazing hotel as well, and I’ve stayed there twice (once at Delano, with a surprise free upgrade). We just stayed at Planet Hollywood and had the most amazing dinner at Strip House. Amazing steaks and drinks. Juan was our server there, and his service was impeccable. 😄

[@juliewoolz]

yes to the Wynn! I also like the Waldorf Astoria!

[@EvaKislin]

Great video of these choice casino resorts. I take in consideration that you are now a transplanted local. You opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Love your new home. Have a wonderful Holiday season 😊

[@danterose210]

Great vid and surprising top 5. Keep up the great work Ruby!!

[@innatozakian9724]

I had breakfast at the Wynn it was amazing! The hotel is so beautiful! Just love it! I stayed at the Venetian Hotel very lush as well! 😎👍♥️

[@michstella517]

On my bucket list to stay at Circa sometime soon! Love that place.

[@1114dh]

Thanks Ruby, Love your channel!!! I been to Vegas 11 times and the best bed I ever slept in was at Wynn!!! I look forward to going back there and checking out the brunch buffet & pool!! Thanks for the tips!!! You Rock!!!

[@guibox3]

Interesting! The last few years, I've told myself that when I go back to LV, I want to stay at either Circa, Wynn or Resorts World. Nice to know they are your favorites!

[@nathanlynfisher]

Great list.👍 Aria is at the top of my list.

[@RonaldGiller]

I agree. Not sure how that couldn't be on the list.

[@clairedobson2240]

Brilliant video Ruby. 🎉🎉🎉

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Thanks Team Ruby!!! Always the best Vegas content on YT.

[@ErikLeed]

Gorgeous footage of those amazing spots. You guys are getting SOOOO good at your craft Ruby and Mr.!! Long long time fan;)!

[@hollywoodck22]

Cosmo is great ! Love the vibe and the killer balconies. Surprised to see Venetian not on list, they have amazing gym and pool complex. Also I love the over the top Italian style of the property and the fact that all rooms are suites! Also I think Aria is great! You do a great job Ruby!

[@smartone179]

Great choice for your list Ruby! Nice video 😊

[@scott729]

Thanks Ruby. We already have reservations at PH for the last week in January (my b-day), but this was really helpful. We will hit some of the dining options you are recommending and I saved it so that we can consider some of your hotel recommendations when we head back later next year, or in 2026 (I am getting old, geez). I am 56 and my first trip to LV was in 2018. I regret never visiting prior to then, but I am happy I decided to give it try when I did as my wife and I really love going to Vegas. Anyway, thank you. Maybe we will run into you.... drink(s) on me, : ) ...... cheers

[@JohnSowell-k1w]

Hey Ruby, my wife and I have eaten at S !& W twice, once for our anniversary, and once for her birthday, and the food and the service were just superb. HUGE thumbs up for this restaurant!

[@CPTcripp]

LOL

[@terryrutherford2114]

My wife and I always stay at the Jockey Club. Not a hotel or casino, but it's like an apartment. It is nestled between the Bellagio and Cosmopolitan. Great location. Thanks for the video!

[@DennisSmithAIStockImageClub]

All great choices for higher end hotels and Mandalay Bay reminds me a lot like the Mirage and the south Strip will be hopping if the baseball stadium gets built along with Bally's and Brightline West's Las Vegas station being built nearby.

[@markwilliams6472]

Great video. The Wynn was my first stay in Vegas 10 years ago.

[@MadameTeresa]

Would you be able to do an updated Fontainebleu video? I stayed in June and loved it. Going back in February!

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

I wanna go there so bad!

[@suzanneball2442]

Just back from there (12/20/24) and not sure we'll return. Lovely property--spacious and glitzy--but EXPENSIVE...$24 for a glass of wine?? Not many options for casual dining--much better food courts at other properties. We know it's supposed to be upscale and elegant, but miss being able to sit at a bar and play video poker/slots.

[@CrownShawzy]

Hey Ruby, amazing content as ever! How far in advance must restaurants/bars/entertainment featured be booked? Cheers. ❤

[@sebastianliu2009]

My favorite is Motel 6!! Always clean sheets and plenty of parking =)

[@mhairifox7753]

Thanks. I'm a nighthawk, midnight worker. If a pool isn't open when I'm up then I may as well save my money and stay in Cuba. The ocean is always free, if you pay.

[@tmefim]

The spa at Resorts World is $140 to use on weekends, if you don't book a treatment. So for just steam, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge you gotta pay up. Your resort fee doesn't cut the price! The Bellagio spa needs an upgrade, but at least its reasonable to use.

[@willtorres7434]

Great video thanks for the recommendations rube

[@jasecola]

Love Cosmopolitan. Great rooms and you have to go with the balcony! I dig to one bedroom option with the fountain view.

[@alexanderloper4742]

The Bellagio is my favorite because, as you said, it is so quintessentially Las Vegas. It continues to be one of the most popular and luxurious properties and I love the remodeled rooms and dining options. Looking forward to the “Project Mojave” planned addition where the walkway is now.

[@scottteague3738]

Solid list. Thanks Ruby..

[@gregcrezee4071]

You ought to see what the suites are like! (Only because we have major contacts in your town!) It is thee ...nicest upscale hotel in Vegas. Bar none! Great vid!

[@andrewreisinger6860]

The Wynn had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Incredible!

[@jbuckowi]

I love New York New York!!!

[@briantimbs429]

I dont agree but then again we dont need to agree on everything ! Good vid Ruby !! TIMBO

[@Trontasia]

Gotta get there somehow... Loved the video. Would love to try those buffets too.

[@jorgegarcia3635]

I've never liked the vibe at the Wynn, it feels like nothing exciting ever happens there. It gives retirement home vibes. The atmosphere at the Cosmopolitan is fantastic!!! RWs is awesome too.

[@spdn4cr]

Great video! Having Mandalay a close 6th with no mention of the Palazzo/Venetian property in your top 6 is surprising but definitely shows I have very different taste than you!

[@mr.nmoney3554]

For me I have to ask if my friends and family were coming to Vegas for the first time and money was no obstacle, the following would be mine. 1) the WYNN ENCORE 2) the palazzo and Venetian 3) the Aria , Cosmo and Belagio complex now that they are connected 4) Circa if they don’t have kids Golden nugget (rush tower) if they have kids 5) Mandalay Bay because you can take the tram all the way to the Excalibur and just a quick cross walk to New York.

[@mellissasyring9146]

Man do I LOVE Vegas! ❤ So beautiful 😍

[@JTA8130LV]

Enjoyed the review. We have been going to LV since 1980. I remember the Horse Shoe when it was the first MGM. I’ve been to all the Casinos you described but Circa. Personally I would stay at Venetian/Palazzo over any MGM property.

[@DougPettey-yg6dq]

Thanks for this! For some reason, I haven't been getting your posts. Working to fix that.

[@marissa___explainsitall]

My boyfriend and I stayed at Delano in the scenic suite and that was the best room I’ve ever booked! I really want to stay at the Wynn, Vdara, and Venetian but my pockets aren’t ready for those hotels. One day 😅

[@robostyle9773]

Thanks for another great video

[@janicehopper6115]

I have never been to the Wynn but going in February for the brunch at La Cave. Staying at Durango.

[@dee2744]

Great video and thanks for the info Ruby

[@claresag2012]

Love your blue Vegas sweater where is it from?

[@_vegas_ready_]

Maybe one day they’ll do something with the old Bank nightclub area to bring back some more nightlife options.

[@texadonkey34]

Hey Ruby, Happy Holidays & very nice hotel picks. I’m a downtown gal & love the personal touch at El Cortez. The old school Vegas vibe is the best. I did the strip for 20 years. Now I’m old & I just wanna gamble, 😹.I hope your sweet kitty is doing great. Gamblin Granny will be back at Elco in March. I hope I see you again. 🌺🌺

[@clairepierson15]

ty ruby this was very informative

[@markthompson7503]

JW Marriott Las Vegas I stayed at with my son for a football camp. It was very nice with the golf course right across the street. Downtown I always stay at the Cabana Suites at El Cortez. On the strip it is Caesars but that's usually for business.

[@Go_Cry]

I believe everything was on point I agree for the most part but but I would love a video of some one doing about the different ratio rate of winning. Add the Pacific casinos

[@chitdeguzman1751]

Wynn is our home away from home for more than 10+ years. It's a privilege to stay there at least once a year.

[@alexasultan9867]

Always look forward to your videos

[@tscarol9905]

Enjoy your videos on the hotels.

[@JohnE7T5]

All out of my price range but good looking places. Fontainebleau looks v nice too.

[@RebelsHockey]

Another great video! Enjoy watching them! Informative and helpful. Sometimes I'd like to get into more informative youtube blogging, I'd talk my wife into being on camera and talking since no one wants to see my face lol.😂

[@mhairifox7753]

Question: Pool times? For each resort: do the pools close for certain hours? Can you do a video for that? It'd be appreciated, thank you.

[@dragondawn420]

Just from what I've seen on hotel websites, most of the big Vegas hotels have pools open from 9am - 5/6pm every day, during the months of (IIRC) March/April to October. If you go to a property's website, it's pretty easy to find the page with the pool hours and cabana rental info.

[@MrSanJose420]

Great post

[@kalnfornia]

Your background music is on point

[@gjd424]

I agree 💯with your choices!

[@TwoToasters]

Wynn, Encore, Wynn, Encore, Wynn - in no particular order

[@LeDarBartholomaus]

Need to visit these casinos on our next visit.

[@dalemartell8639]

Last time we were in the Cosmopolitan it was like living in an ashtray. The cigarette smoke was outrageous.

[@suzanneball2442]

Our last stay, it was FULL of families with young children. Couldn't enjoy the pool at all. I will never understand why parents would choose Vegas as a place to vacation with their kids.

[@Matthew-v5p]

That’s every casino wtf 😂

[@nicoleherman1315]

Love Delano, it has become a sort of home base for us too no doubt. But I do love cosmo aria and Bellagio too. Hard not to!

[@AverageJoesLibrary]

I think Wynn and Venetian are ones we want to do eventually but when the price is right. I think I'll need a real nice work bonus to afford the Wynn trip i want to do complete with golf.

[@steven4videos]

Thanks Ruby!!!

[@marymedrano9141]

If resorts world spa is your 2nd fave what's your 1st fave?

[@TravelRuby]

Fountainebleau Lapis spa

[@nitaapplebum7637]

I’ve lived in Vegas for 2 years but from Cali so always came to Vegas. I have never been to the WYNN but my fav hotel 😂. Just screams Luxury!! I will definitely be doing a Staycation there for my birthday . Yea my fav about Circa is NO CHILDREN!! Thanks for the video 💖

[@garynagle3093]

Great video.

[@lauras19]

I’m partial to M Resort, but that’s probably because I like to stay a bit out of the way from everything.

[@pmg-1]

Only stayed at the Bellagio..before the upgrades...but me & hubby did some excellent gambling there.. I guess beginners luck since it was our 1st time playing there. 😂

[@jamesmccoy6361]

While we love the Bellagio Fountains and Conservatory and always see those when we visit Vegas, we will never stay there again. I’ve mentioned the reason before in detail but it sums up to customer service that was just “blah” during our stay.

[@BrakRulesAll]

My faves are anything NOT on the strip. Circa is my #1.

[@ALXSlots]

Nice top 5, Fontainebleu its really great.

[@JCSims]

My boyfriend surprised me with a stay at the Wynn for my birthday this year and I truly don’t think I can stay anywhere else 😭😭

[@JCSims]

It was also very nice to see Mandalay Bay as an honorable mention as it was the first hotel we stayed at in Vegas so it always has a place in my heart

[@DanielGreen07]

Opinions on Paris? Thats where we're staying next year 💪

[@DiJourne]

What can I say? I like all of your choices. 😊

[@davidgrybb8547]

All my Favorite places!!!!

[@okokayy]

Did AFT close down? I don't know where I heard that from 🤔

[@okokayy]

[@gregformes3720]

The Cosmo has fallen off sadly. When MGM took over it completely changed. Booked a fountain view room back in June and was very disappointed. Our room was disgusting, there was hairspray/gel and toothpaste stains across the bathroom floor. The couch smelt horrible and had stains. The a/c would not go below 74 no matter what we tried. We eventually changed our room but the next one wasn't much better. It is really unfortunate because the fountain view rooms are a unique way to experience the strip, but for the price point you can get a much better experience elsewhere.

[@TravelRuby]

Oh no! We haven’t had a stay since the takeover so thats disheartening to hear

[@StephanieGrandchampt]

Awesomeness!

[@butch14ful]

Hey Rudy! I noticed that all your choices were very high-end money wise. I'm an older guy and remember when Vegas offered value like affordable food and free drinks. In fact, I never really stayed in my room much because I'm a gambler and was playing all the time. But you as a celebrity influencer probably get compt. so of course you can afford these places. We used to stay at Caesars a lot until we realized it was too much just to eat, and we could have as much fun off strip.

[@TravelRuby]

I have paid with my own money for each property!

[@peggykamstra8896]

Are you going to do any restaurant videos again

[@derosenm5602]

My favorite is park mgm because no smoking!

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

How funny, Resorts World is the resort I dislike the most. Mirage was my favorite.
