Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas DETAILED Hotel Review

- A DETAILED Video Review of the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas Hotel. This former Mandarin Oriental property was rebranded as the Waldorf Astoria in August 2018, part of the Hilton family of hotels. The Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas has 389 Guest Rooms -- all of them with a soaking tub. Floors 2 - 22 of the hotel are the guest rooms. Floors 24 to 47 are the condos. Room rates vary wildly as is typical for Las Vegas hotels -- you’ll find them for as low as $200, but upwards of $600 on busy weekends or when conventions are in town, or $800 on New Years Eve. We stayed on Dec 29 -- paid rates were $700+ -- we used 80,000 Hilton Points. It's a non-gaming, non-smoking property -- a breathe of fresh air in Vegas.

@Felipe Jaxen Yea, I have been using instaflixxer for months myself :D
My wife and I have really enjoyed the complimentary New Year's Eve party the last 2 yrs, free to guests.
I was guessing a bathrobe too! Chris, love all your videos...thanks for putting so much time into them.
Good guess!
Great review, hope you didn’t get charged for the champagne when you moved the bottle 😂😂😂
Turns out this mini-bar was a "proximity sensor" minibar instead of a "pressure sensor" minibar.. I didn't take it out far enough to trigger the purchase... lucky me :)
RavaRiley that was my fear! I said out loud, "don't move it! They'll charge you!" Lol😂
Chris, can you do a palazzo review please, love the reviews great work 👍👍
@@westie430 I said that out loud too!
Theyre time sensored, usually gives u a a lil less than a minute to put it backlol it happened to me too
Awesome job!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Another Great video! Looks like an amazing hotel!
Thanks for sharing!
I remember staying here back in 2012, I payed 250 a night that's when the AUD was kicking ass. Overall experience was great, plus when coming down with a hangover since its not part of a casino, it was on more of the quite side of things.
The French Twist restaurant on the 23rd floor is fantabulous! Expensive but worth every cent!
Great video! You guys should do a review of the Cosmopolitan! My friends and I are thinking about staying there this Spring.
Thanks Josh! If I get a good price at the Cosmo I will
I love Topher!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awwww.. Topher sends his love!
Nice job of thoroughly reviewed of the room.
Thanks Matt!
You should go to the Sky loft at MGM Grand pleeeease. I was thinking of staying there but I would like to see a review from you because you’re is some of the most comprehensive reviews ever. Thank you!
Nice looking hotel room. The bathroom is great.
Another great Vegas review, i have really enjoyed your videos because they are very informative. I would love for you to do a video in Kansas City, you would love the city.
Thanks JT! I visited Kansas City a long time ago and ate at Oklahoma Joe's BBQ in the gas station :)
@@YellowProductions you definitely need to come back because KC has changed a lot and the food scene has gotten so much better. Just keep me in mind if you ever come again I will take you to all the hot spots.
Now THAT'S one helluva room! Much better than the Nomad IMO. Beautiful room.
hi, do you have a review for The Mirage - if not, have you stayed there?
Nice room. Wonder how the room will change after the remodel.
This is the review I was looking for! Glad it's up!
I was able to go to the restaurant and Tea Room at the Mandarin. Both great experiences! I might have to stay at the hotel proper sometime. I'm hoping the mattress is as comfortable as the ones at the Aria. Those were the most comfortable I ever slept on, EVER! Vdara is a close second :)
vgv
Not sure about the rooms. The suites have a Ploh down mattress topper which is amazingly supple. I would say the mattress feel is best on strip, even comparing to the high end options (Skylofts, old Hotel32, Nobu, etc). The sheets are nice, but maybe a little scratchier?
Tea room for afternoon tea is fantastic, we always spend time there. Wish they sold the loose leaf tea from there as gifts...
Thanks! I think you'll enjoy it here... I haven't stayed at the Aria.. but I slept really well in this room
Awesome to hear! I love staying in real comfortable beds after spending the day power walking the strip :) If you ever get a chance to stay at the Aria, it's a great experience.
vgv
how would you compare this to the Elara, also by Hilton?
When you stayed with points, were you still charged a resort fee? I’m a diamond member for Hilton, and when I booked a room here, the total I was given was the amount of points I used and then the Resort fee... I absolutely hate that Hotels charge resort fees.
I was not charged a resort fee when I stayed on points
I love your LV videos, keep them up. LV is my absolute favorite destination, we try to go every month. Just so much to explore and I love the atmosphere. Completely obsessed with LV. Thank you!
Awesome.. Thanks Mikeal!
I love Vegas as well. I can’t get enough of it. Just everything about it. I wish I could go every month. Unfortunately I’m from Ny. So can’t really go often. Some of my best memories are in Vegas.
I have one question regarding parking: Can I get free parking at a Casino on the strip for the night even though I am staying at the Golden Nugget downtown?
Oh, so that's Mandarin Oriental. I saw Waldorf Astoria on Staypia and was wondering if it was a new hotel.
I wonder if they still had the single serve champagne bottles in the vending machine in the lobby. I loved the Mandarin Oriental. The TripAdvisor reviews have been less than spectacular (for the price).
Yes they do
I gotta get back to vegas!
please do more of these hotel reviews
I generally do a video review of every hotel I stay in.. so OK :)
Love Vegas!
The outdoor pools are heated, so you can swim outdoors in the winter! This is a perk. To my knowledge, only the Mandalay Bay has an outdoor heated pool in the winter.
That's good to know!
AND THIS is why I subscribed because you give fun detailed and informative reviews like this :)
Awww... Thanks Rick!
I was guessing slippers and robe rolled up nicely!
I’m staying there this week
Nice room
I am surprised that Mandarin Oriental closed. I had read it was on of the 10 best hotels in the country.
MGM owned the Mandarin Oriental... they sold it for $214M. It was purchased by the founders of Panda Express restaurants -- they decided to brand it the Waldorf Astoria.. but yeah.. weird that MGM sold it
@@YellowProductions I heard the owner of panda is really cool. He wears jeans and a panda shirt daily
Gr8 presentation. They should hire u
Being that this was the Mandarin Oriental just a few months ago, they still have everything Mandarin Oriental in there except the name/logo. That's why there is a Chinese foot spa. Stayed at The Mandarin in Vegas 3 times, and it will be missed, but will try the new rebranded hotel next time I stay in Vegas.
@bl4ckmt4l The Mandarin got everything right. Especially the little things. From the moment you interfaced with the doormen with coats and top hats and they remembered your name the rest of your stay, to the front desk and concierge who went out their way to accommodate you, that hotel was amazing. Even when I had laundry done, the clothes were carefully folded, put in an ornate box, and even the socks had ribbon around them holding the pair together. I passed by the new Waldorf in late November 2018 and I didn't even see doormen.
ChamorroZorro It’s literally the same hotel, just rebranded.
bl4ckmt4l Yes. I agree. All I meant was that they didn’t change any of the decor or remodel it.
@@ShaunyP26 One of the highlights that made The Mandarin was the front door crew in long coats and top hats. When I passed by since the change, I didn't even see any staff standing outside to greet cars as they arrived. Those guys even remembered your name if you were a guest there. My wife and I always marveled at how they were able to keep names straight. Our theory was that they had someone watching cameras with the doormen wearing earpieces being told who was there.
Great Video
Thanks Claire!
I was guessing a bathrobe :-)
A pretty reasonable guess!
me too!!
Me three.
What in the world I was at the waldorf from Monday to today. Wish I saw you
I was there on December 29.. so we missed each other by a few days :)
Thank you for your review on the Waldorf Astoria. I had plan to stay there in March but after seeing your review I decided not to and will wait til after they do the make over.
Good plan :)
A bathrobe seems like an obvious gift. Maybe it's a big paper dragon?
Received thanks
Do a story on Polo Towers!
Any hotel where they have 2 bedrooms in one room in Vegas? Been looking but cant find any
Try the Marriott Grand Chateau
@@YellowProductions Big help! I love your channel!
@@YellowProductions thank you. Is that the only place?
Dude you are a friggin nerd with the stuffed animals. But, I like your vegas reviews. Keep it up.
Yup! I'm a nerd and proud of it! :)
Shut up! Topper is cute! Doesn’t make you a nerd if you’re a guy and you like stuffed animals!
Thanks for having my back :)
whaaaaaat, shut upp, we love Topper!!!
Nice vids, very informative. BTW that was a shoe horn. Back in the day they were very useful. For some reason I have a hard time finding them. Keep up the good work. See you next vid.
Thanks Mike!
Go to Marriot Grand Chateau instead across the street, bigger rooms cheaper, full kitchen FREE valet-parking. I was going to booked for new year's 2019 at Waldorf Astoria I'm glad I didn't. Marriot Grand Chateau is now a favorite for me.
I like the Marriott Grand Chateau as well!
The skybar is nice there at the Waldorf. Pricey but a beautiful view of the strip looking both North and South.
did you stay here when it was the mandarin
Nope... this was my first time at this hotel
Nice video. We should make a food video together next time I'm in Las Vegas.
Make food together?!
Hah
I assume you mean a video eating some food? :)
lol yes. On my channel we call them food videos lol
Can you redo Waldorf Astoria? They have completely remodeled last month
I'll add it to my list of potential spots for a future stay
Great review! I definitely would not want to pay several hundred dollars to stay there, but it would be really nice on a discount! I'm glad to see that there was some bamboo for Topher!
Topher really enjoyed the Bamboo! $700 is way too much... but Hilton Points and it's free :)
$343 a week night plus a $45 resort fee, damn!
We stayed for the 4th of July last year and it was incredible and worth the money. You definitely feel separated from the frenzy of Vegas with the ability to go into when you want.
Nice video.A little fey in the delivery, though.
LOL did you accidentally purchase that champagne when you lifted it? Also, what is on the 23 floors between the entrance and the lobby?
Turns out this mini-bar was a "proximity sensor" minibar instead of a "pressure sensor" minibar.. I didn't take it out far enough to trigger the purchase... lucky me :)
Matt Bailey I'm assuming there's rooms in between ground floor & 23rd floor...he was staying on the 10th floor I think?
Do palms casino and hotel
So you check in on the 23rd floor but your room was on the 10th floor? That's odd. Or maybe not?
I am on the 10th floor, but technically 33rd
@@remyd8767, ahhh... I got it now. I forgot it's in a shared building.
I think it's pretty weird... but yes
$700 you should’ve gotten a mini bar credit!
I was thinking some of your points back
I'd like some back -- it was alot of points!
I don't really find the decor all the Waldorf branded.. I get it since it was a Mandarin Oriental before..
where are you off to next champ
Don't know yet... we don't have a "next trip" booked yet :)
Is Walgreen's still there, or did CVS take over Walgreen's? It's been awhile since I've been there. (I had no idea what was in the box.) What is the most Tophers a hotel can get?
CVS is next to the Walforf Astoria -- there is a Walgreens pretty much directly across the street from CVS.
The most Tophers a hotel can get is 5 Tophers. We gave 5 tophers to the Tokyo Station Hotel: czcams.com/video/yro7TDrkCwM/video.html
My wife says it smells so nice at the WA
A puppy in the box, no wait a chicken, maybe socks?
Hah! A puppy would've been cool!
We stumbled upon this hotel the night of the big shooting. We were there and up in the bar, which was empty, enjoying the view, and some Pinkberry Yogurt, followed by a venture to the pool on the eighth floor, where we dipped our feet into the running Jacuzzi, and looked out onto the sights surrounding that area. I always said I wanted to go back and actually stay there after that. I was very impressed. It was so calm and serene. Who knew that only a few hours later, a massive shooting would take place?! Scary!
It is quite a serene place... The shooting is Soo sad
Nice video. I think you bought that bottle of champaign when you lifted it!
My pleasure :). It was a proximity sensor minibar instead of pressure sensor so I was all good :)
Omg dude why the heck did you touch the products in the mini bar? They gonna charge you now
A robe... Damn!
A robe would've been cooler than a pillow :)
@@YellowProductions I for sure thought it was that. A pillow in a box? Maybe if it was laying on top of a shelf in the closet. The box would have been a great way to present the guests with a robe.
That's funny that you almost moved the desk and not the chair. Hahahah
The city center is over rated and is set way back, I stayed at the Aria and it took forever to get to the strip forget about getting to the CSV across the street, ugh......I find the rooms pretty much the same no matter where one stays in Las Vegas, thanks for your review, looking forward to others!
The good news about the Waldorf is that it's right at the front of city center.. so it's right on the strip. From the front door of the Waldorf you can be on the strip in 60 seconds
Has this Hotel WiFi ? Internet for free? Do you have to charge for the Inroom Safe ?
Yes it has Wifi.. no charge to use the safe.
I thought Monico was filming ;)
Hah!
First! JL
Well done Jonathan!
My guess was a bathrobe
Good guess :)
who's the camerawoman? let her talk for a change
That would be my wife... she's camera shy! She talks through Topher :)
The Vdara is Much Nicer, bigger rooms...plus, if you play the MyVEGAS Slots IPhone/IPad games, you can pretty easily collect enough loyalty points with little or no money spent to get 2 nights free (well free, plus the $44 resort fee...)
Shoot don't I know it, all my rooms were paid for with a little myVEGAS Last year Ed
That's a $ 100 room in Bangkok...many $ 75 Bangkok hotel rooms have Totos.
I'm pretty sure that was distilled water for the iron...demineralized water prevents deposits from forming and clogging up the innards of the iron (and also prevents mineral brown spots from spotting on a shirt during ironing).
great location nice room but both pools sucks
True.. the pool is tiny
I expected a robe or 2 in the box.
That would seem reasonable!
I have the biggest crush on this guy, he's adorable
Awwww
Yellow Productions Hope to meet you someday here in Vegas!
Did you get charged for the bottle of champagne you picked up? Don't they have sensors under those items?
This minibar had a RFID proximity sensor.. not a weight sensor.. so no.. I didn't
A pillow?! I thought a robe and slippers were in the box.
Bgi mistake chris dont lift bottles out the fridge they have sensors on them and they charge you for it .
This one was a proximity sensor minibar rather than a pressure sensor one.. so I was all good :)
Tell you the truth I would just go to CVS get some chips and soda pop go back to the room and turn the T.V. 📺 on.
I was thinking red wine 🍷 was in the box 📦
A good use of the room! :)
Oooh.. red wine would've been nice :)
Looks the same to me
DOOD!
Doooood!
$30 per day just for parking? Forget about it..
Hence why I parked at the Aria!
Thot it was the blow up chamber maid lol.
Hah!
I hate hotels that don’t have casinos . Why the fuck go to Vegas then?
You do realize that when you picked up the champagne bottle....you just bought it. Hahahahaha
Turns out this mini-bar was a "proximity sensor" minibar instead of a "pressure sensor" minibar.. I didn't take it out far enough to trigger the purchase... lucky me :)
i tried, can only make it to minute 7
Hah
$700 a night, are you out of your mind??? Never understood why people pay so much for a place to sleep. I wouldnt pay $200.00 a night. Im so glad i live here and dont have to rent a hotel room. Even when we didnt live here i was staying at flamingo or treasure for $60 a night i mean why do people pay so much to sleep??? Just doesnt make any sense
Most people aren't paying $700 a night. You can normally get good deals on Vegas hotels. I normally only go to Vegas when rates are dirt cheap ( like $100 for Venetian)
If you're there for New Years Even... even the Flamingo is probably $400 a night!
Yellow Productions, I have not subscribed to your channel for a lack of professionalism. As much as I want to know about this $500/nt. room, it pains me to watch a guy and his beanie babies review it in their socks.
