TOP 10 Most OVERRATED Things in Las Vegas - MUST AVOID🚫

Trigger warning LOL Among the things that "must do" when you visit Las Vegas, there are extremely overrated things. Things, like drinking a FAT Tuesday, visiting the Ellis Island Casino for their steak deal or stopping by the Top of the World Restaurant. This video will trigger a lot of people but it might help even more. Let me know if I got any of these wrong :)

Ellis Island and Ocean one are replacing the niche left when all the cheap buffets where closed, that is get filled up and go. Shure they are not high end restaurants, but not every one wants to eat at high end places all the time. Places like these, and buffets like the one at South Point, Excalibur, Main Street Station just get the job done, and when you want a high end meal, there are great choices also, so for me, they are good for what they are.

My last time having the Ellis Island steak dinner special was a disappointment. Correct, this isn't a great cut of meat. What I do recommend is the BBQ place inside Ellis Island. All they do is ribs and chicken. It's fantastic.

[@stevemoore3951]

Ribs at Ellis Island are great 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Eatpinktacos27]

Ribs at the BBQ place and fish and chips at the village pub

[@trey9540]

Those ribs are mediocre at best. I had them for free and still couldn’t justify finishing the rack. Ribs should be slow smoked for a couple hours. The Ellis island ribs taste like they were cooked in a crockpot with liquid smoke poured on them. In their defense I live in the midsouth near Memphis. The Ellis island BBQ restaurant wouldn’t last a week here. At least judging by the ribs.

[@ShawnPack]

@@Eatpinktacos27 After years of eating there I finally tried the fish and chips. It was undercooked. I should have sent them back. I've watched too many videos where people raved about them for them to be undercooked.

[@ShawnPack]

@@trey9540 Wow, harsh. You may be right regarding the quality compared to Memphis, but compared what what I've gotten elsewhere, they are amazing. Especially for the price. We like their house made rootbeer and the BBQ sauce with has the rootbeer in it. To each their own. We've never regretted eating their for the money.

[@Its_the_Whole_Everything]

The Village pub not bad, but you are right not for a foodie. My issue with the Vegas of today is there is no middle ground for food. Its either overpriced or a low quality budget meal. We no longer go to restaurants on the strip and venture off strip for nice dinners. We will be doing that again next week when we arrive. As for the other overrated - I have never been, and I'm good with that.

[@CashBandits]

Thank you for the video, was going to buy tickets to mindfreak but after seeing this i went right to the reviews and you are totally right. I wanna see fire and real nonstop magic. Not sad cancer ad's and video clips of magic... You def saved us on this one!

[@Fennec416]

When the robots finally take over, the Tipsy ones will be coming for you first Jorgito 😂

[@MACMAMI]

I strongly agree with you on five of ten of your choices, and kind of agree with another three. So with eight of your ten selections I can definitely see your point. ESPECIALLY Ocean One and Fat Tuesdays. The former is often nicknamed "Cockroach One" for a reason: it's brutal..............and the latter is just packed with too much added sugar and completely watered down and isn't even anything novel to begin with. On the ones I ***kind of*** agree............Tipsy Robot is that sort of thing that I think is cute trying once just for the novelty, but it really is a one-and-done. Same with the Gondola Rides. I think it's worthwhile trying once, but ONLY once. The only two I somewhat disagree with you on.............are Top Of The World and Criss Angel. Hear me out. While I definitely think both of those are something one only needs to try once.............I'd argue they're both work trying once for the experience. The former has a one-of-a-kind view and experiential aspect with the additional 108 SkyDeck.............while the latter is actually pretty entertaining and hilarious for what it is. So I don't consider either of those among the worst wastes of time and money by any stretch in Vegas...........although, again, I think they're both one-and-dones. Here's what my Top Ten OVERRATED List looks like: * 1) Ocean One 2) ANY Strip Buffet Not Named Wynn Buffet 3) Welcome To Las Vegas Selfie Sign 4) Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum 5) Fat Tuesdays 6) Prioritizing "Location" As Your Primary Motivator In Where You Stay On The Strip 7) Celebrity Chef I.P. Concepts 8) Hash House A-Go-Go 9) Bellagio Fountain Show (Yes: it is cool to experience here and there, but it just isn't nearly as interesting as the Bellagio Conservatory, the Mirage Volcano Show or even Wynn's Lake Of Dreams. I'm glad it exists surely, but it is nonetheless overrated compared to other attractions) 10) Nightclubs (If You Want Plenty Of Room To Dance) *

[@aliaswowballoons4915]

You sound like you been to Vegas for many years or a longtime local. Are you? Would love to know your top 10 underrated list

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

I think fountains are most thooough

[@MACMAMI]

@@aliaswowballoons4915 I'm not a local yet, but am moving there soon (I'm currently living in the Pacific Northwest and suffer from Seasonal Affect Disorder, hahahahaha). I've taken countless trips to Vegas though. 🙂 Do you mean just the Strip, or Vegas in the broader sense? With my list above, I just focused specifically on the Strip (which isn't even technically in Las Vegas, but I digress, hahahahaha). So for now I'll just go with the Strip. =) * 1) Sahara (Such a terribly underappreciated, underrated resort. Most overlook it just because of the location, but the joke's on them because the value is among the best on the Strip, you have a great mix of both fine-dining and approachable casual dining, you have a recently revamped Ultra Azilo Pool which is one of the best standard pools on the Strip, and the rooms have some nice quirks and personality to them. =) ) 2) The Art At CityCenter (Seriously: a lot of people are hustling and bustling that they never stop and breathe and get to admire all the gorgeous art installations and sculptures that dot that whole area. For example, there's a work of art behind the registration desk at the Aria that's meant to symbolically resemble the Colorado River, and there's some other experiential art around Waldorf-Astoria, Vdara and the Crystal Shops. =) ) 3) Flamingo's Wildlife Habitat (Between Bellagio's attractions and the Mirage Volcano Show, this attraction often seems to get forgotten about and take for granted, but I can't stress enough how cool it is between all the lush tropical vegetation and various birds. Plus, unlike Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef Aquarium, it's free to the public! =) ) 4) Delano (Another terribly underrated, underappreciated Strip resort. I personally think it has the second most breathtakingly beautiful lobbies on the entire Strip, and there's also impressive value in their standard rooms considering how spacious they are comprising of almost as much square feet as Palazzo and Encore's standard rooms.) 5) The Miracle Mile Shops Rain Show (This attraction was temporarily ceased during the peak of the pandemic, but has been refreshed and I still find it fascinating how it seldom gets mentioned anywhere. I'm not saying it's as grand as the Mirage Volcano Show or anything like that per se, but when we're talking underrated..............yeah: I think this definitely is because it almost never comes up in conversation yet is pretty cool for what it is.) 6) The Pinball Hall Of Fame (Yes: I DO consider this on the Strip because it's basically across the street from Mandalay Bay at its southernmost end. It certainly does have its loyal fans, but I still feel this is slept on by many.) 7) Park MGM's Lounges (The Strip obviously has no shortage of great lounges, but I feel Park MGM's tend to get overlooked in comparison to the more buzzy ones. Which is their loss between Park MGM low-key has a trio of awesome, distinct lounges with Juniper Lounge, Mama Rabbit and NoMad Bar which I highly recommend all three. =) ) 8) Drai's After Hours (Drai has been an institution in Vegas for quite some time, yet I genuinely notice few talk about Drai's After Hours like they do Drai's Beachclub. I LOVE Drai's Beachclub, but Drai's After Hours can't be slept on because the hypnotic, salacious yet sophisticated ambience and atmosphere is simply one-of-a-kind and I haven't encountered another club quite like this on the Strip. =) ) 9) Treasure Island's Standard Rooms (Even though, in my opinion, T.I. has declined markedly under Phil Ruffin's ownership and the resort is otherwise in kind of a sad, semi-dilapidated shape presently without any clear direction..............their rooms are still in surprisingly decent shape. Although I wouldn't recommend T.I. as a destination resort, their rooms are an excellent choice if you're just booking a resort to use as a launching pad or base camp and then intend to just insert yourself into the action from there but don't want to pay the comparatively exorbitant rates at neighboring Venetian/Palazzo, Wynn/Encore and to a somewhat lesser extent Mirage. =) ) 10) Being Sober Visiting (Yes: I enjoy a good libation much like most of us do. In the same breath, I've also done networking trips to Vegas where I remained sober throughout, and I have to say it's become easier compared to before in finding zero-proof/mocktail options on countless lounge, restaurant and pool menus. In all honesty I love mixing it up and having a small handful of trips being 100% sober: where I just power up on cold-pressed juices at the Juice Standard, hearty brunch at Truth & Tonic, etc. Even if you're someone who generally enjoys drinking in Vegas, I highly recommend giving a sober trip a try sometime. It may surprise you just how equally as fun it can truly be. =) )

[@MACMAMI]

@@Vegas-Must-Try I didn't put mine in any particular order, actually. I just typed whichever ten first popped in my mind's eye in real time.

[@bradjoiner3414]

Interesting list. I always appreciate someone taking an actual position so I enjoyed it. A few points. - only time I eat that steak at Ellis Island is with eggs in the morning. And when you have had a tough night and pair with a Bloody Mary, it's cool. Any other time of day, no thanks. - everyone seems to agree on the gondola rides, but imo you should at least do it to say you have done it before putting on a list. - I have never seen Criss Angel for the exact reasons you specify - Javiers we will agree to disagree. Is it the best Mexican food I've ever had? no. Is it overpriced for what you get? probably, its Mexican food. Is it overrated? Not to me.

[@tomb7382]

[@dmxfactor]

I will say that after years of visiting Vegas, I tried the gondola ride for the first time, and actually had a wonderful experience. We went right before it got busy, so we didn't wait long. Also we paid for the shared ride and still rode without another party. The gondolier was very kind and complementary to us, and also a great singer. I enjoyed the experience, and may try the outdoor ride one day. I'd recommend it at least once if you have the time and need something to do. I do agree about the bystanders recording, but I tuned them out.

If you go to Ellis just for the steak, yeah, it's still a great value, but I would say if you're going off strip to there as a tourist, make a small evening out of it.

[@paulviscione4246]

You are the very best! It’s refreshing to hear negative things.

[@zonaken]

About the only one I might take issue with is Javier's restaurant. I think Mexican food varies so much depending on the region it is based upon, and it is often toned down to be acceptable for mass markets, IMHO. Nonetheless, we've had some pretty good meals in there. I do totally agree with you that the Margarita's are amazing. The restaurant and bar is beautiful and we always enjoy the ambience with the ornate wood carvings, the glistening sugar sandstone, or the draped rope at the bar, to name a few of our favorite things. So while it may not be our favorite "Mexican food", it is still one of our favorite places to eat for the overall experience when we visit. Great video though; I agree with all of the others on your list! Zk

OMG I completely agree with you about the steak from Ellis Island. So many other people recommended it because it's cheap, which it is, but it's off the strip so you have to go out of your way to get there. Then when you receive it, its tough and chewy. Not worth your precious Vegas time.

[@darcibeckford6848]

I must be the oddball, having gone on the gondola 4 times. I have also enjoyed it each time. Yes, it's expensive for what you get. Really, the only reason I've been on it 4 times is because there was someone along who was on their first trip to Vegas. I have not regretted it. Like with most things, when you are with someone experiencing it for the first time, it makes it new and fun again. If we've all done it before though, we wouldn't spend the money on it. We do love having a real overlooking it, and listening to the singing and seeing others experience it for the first time.

I would imagine the indoor ride wouldn't have been as pleasant. I abstained from the Buddy cake vending machines during the trip but caved in at the airport as one last Vegas snack. I got the carrot cake and honestly really enjoyed it but, looking at the other flavors, ngl they didn't look that great.

I’m a big fan of Ellis island ….. just a cool little place , but as for the steak deal it’s ok but I don’t even order it anymore there are much better menu options . I agree 100% on the rest !! You pretty much nailed it .

[@macklanders]

I agree with every single one of these. Ocean One and Village Pub serve mediocre food..better than a mall food court but not by much. Fat Tuesday is pretty much a tourist trap.

👌🏼👌🏼

[@TheJayhawker83]

Really? I've eaten the steak at Ellis Island and a ribeye at Delmonico. The one at Ellis Island is very good and worth every penny. The steak I had at Delmonico was a ripoff and was average at best.

[@tonymounlasy6527]

would be nice to see the top 5 thai restaurants around Vegas since I wouldn’t know and would be visiting soon

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

I don't even have a top 3

[@ceelobrown27]

Ocean one made my mother's day trip with my mom and aunt so affordable. My mom wanted to keep going back. Highly recommend for brunch

[@NixonRules963]

I used to think Ocean One was a gimmicky mid breakfast spot but after going there I really enjoyed it. Where else can you get two full breakfast entrees for $12

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Sounds great!

[@josephhudson7378]

Alright! Can you do one of these pn Fremont St. I went there a couple of years back and loved the history of it. I am a history guy. I looked at the Mobb Museum and Container Park. I wanted to do more. I jad my grandmother at the hotel and i met some tourist women. So. That was that.

[@stevenjohnson8736]

number one thing u don’t wanna do in VEGAS is walking around the STRIP during the hot summer day when the weather is over 110 degree

[@wilfredomartinez3042]

go vid. the only one i would say im good with is Ocean's yeah food is ehhhh... but the drinks makes it a little bit better and $13.00 for 3 cocktails and they don't cheat you on the alcohol :) but the wait time... ugh.... lol.

[@christopherprice3226]

you are a sweet hummingbird, I'm a steak and asparagus man. love your videos

[@scottmctaggart560]

You are SPOT ON !!!!!!!!!! SO TRUE !!!

[@snowking171]

Oh man.. Fat Tuesdays. We did a Vegas guys trip a few years ago which we stayed constantly buzzed for but never overdid it. On the last day there I grabbed a Fat Tuesdays for myself on the way to the airport. Next thing I remember I'm waking up in the airport bathroom stall because someone's calling me telling me our plane is about to leave. The next couple days were roughhh. Stay away from those things.

[@mastaboog749]

I did a few of these things on my first trip in January, plan to go back this year and I want to see a magic show this time bad! Guess I'll go to Penn and Teller lmao 🤣

[@ryyaannn_]

stopping at fat tuesday and getting a yard long slushie 5 minutes after you get to vegas is a must every single time

[@TravelonlineWalk]

Nice tour

[@karagawer6143]

Spot on and agree with many things you say. Strat restaurant is disgusting food. I won't go up anymore since you have to pay now. I did do the gondola and bought the picture and frame for the memory...forgot to show my Palazzo room key(or players card) for the discount. I was lucky, I guess, and got an excellent steak at Ellis Island.

[@rockyvilla1428]

I agree especially Chris Angel show. Make more videos like this …👏👏👏👏

[@majtom5421]

We were in Vegas last week. We saw the Chris Angel show. Most of what we saw were tricks I've seen 50 years ago. I felt he is a kind hardhearted guy. It was sad seeing him not gracefully going in to retirement. Save your money and skip this show.

[@fae430]

Well to be fair the gondola ride is a nice place to propose ( husband did and it was so sweet )

[@bossmode421]

I completely agree with the Criss Angel Magic Show. I used to love the TV Show and wanted see him in Vegas. When I did I was so disappointed it was nothing like it. Waste of time and money.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Used to be a fan

[@robertjacobsen3742]

I completely disagree. I have seen him 3x and have enjoyed it every time. To each their own.

[@tonyabennett2500]

Matt Franco was the goat

[@sdpumas619]

Same here. I was a fan until I saw the first incarnation of this show. No bueno

[@bluevon5021]

He stunk.

[@PatTheRipper]

We did the gondola ride. Was fun cuz the couple with us argued the whole time and I was pretty drunk. 😂

[@randallbowman2930]

At Fat Tuesdays, it isn't the sugar that flattens you, it's the 190 Everclear...

[@asevrinx]

It's been a few years, but when my guy and I rode the gondola ride it was at night, outside. We were the only ones riding outside too. Must have been off season. No one is staring at you and it felt romantic. Now the High Roller happy hour is over hyped and not worth the money. There were so many people in the cart that all of us only got served one drink before we docked.

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Did you guys kiss

[@asevrinx]

​@@Vegas-Must-Try Yes, under the tunnel, but only cause he told us to....which now sounds creepy. Haha.

[@clgomez4366]

i always thought all of this was overrated so i’m glad u were so honest and made a video about it

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@S.E.C-R]

The only one of these places I’ve been to is the Cake Vending machine… I consider myself a cake expert and I have to say it wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t OMG I need a whole cake now. It was weirdly dry and moist at the same time and had a weird texture as you were chewing it. The frosting wasn’t bad and I thought it was a decent size piece of cake, but I wouldn’t buy another one, especially after learning that they’re soaked in what they call “cake liquid”. Had I seen that before I probably would have passed on it. But it was a fun, one time novelty thing to do. Plus I got it right after playing with the Chippendale boys getting our photo taken, so I was in the mood for some sweeeet cake!! 🍑

[@Vegas-Must-Try]

Cake liquid hahaha
