  • What to do in Las Vegas? Walk the Las Vegas Strip. But beware: yes, Las Vegas has lots to see, but on some blocks, you'll be bombarded with folks wanting "donations".

    WOW! You had me almost in tears at 11:00 when you said "Good Lord, another souvenir shop and you can take more Grand Canyon tours, even by horseback". I must admit that was the most delightful strip tour I have seen and I lived there for over a decade!! Cheers!!

      @DTBenefits  Před 10 lety

      Thanks so much for your comment. Last time I walked that side of the Strip, I found five discount ticket booths, too. Lots of commissions are made on Grand Canyon Tours AND tickets.

    Thank you for showing this candid "snapshot" of commercial Las Vegas. We watched the entire length of the video, laughed some, and appreciated seeing what real tourists wear (not the 20 somethings going to clubs), the entertainment industry at work (not just the Cirque performers), and the constant construction. We appreciate seeing what it looks like on a typical afternoon!

    Was blown away by my first visit to your wonderful City last November 2013 for the AAPEX ands SEMA shows. Was there 10 days with my son staying at the Vdara and we had a great time and took a trip to the Hoover Dam. Would love to return but it will probably only be a one-off but the memories just dont leave you. Thanks for this re-tour x

    I was there just a few days ago, and walked from Excalibur to Caesars Palace. Here's a tip: if you come across a pair of escalators, the one you want to use is probably the broken one.

    Thanks so much this visual tour. This was the closest thing to imagine the Vegas strip for someone like me who's going to Vegas for the first time. Your tour gave me the idea where to go. Thanks a lot. I can't imagine the pain you, went thru just to give us this tour. God bless you!

    • @DTBenefits
      @DTBenefits  Před 10 lety

      Alma: My walking tour was not necessarily the "nicest" part of a Las Vegas visit, though I am a new fan of M&M World. Don't miss the casinos on the opposite side of the Las Vegas Boulevard (the wonderful Bellagio fountains must be seen up close); the overhead videos of the Fremont Street Experience downtown are amazing and the entertainment offerings will create memories. Have a great visit!

    • @almamadrazo850
      @almamadrazo850 Před 10 lety

      Thanks again I'll do as you suggested. But in case you're not doing anything, you may want to record another walking tour of vegas ( from the other side this time) hihihi. Anyway, have a great day!

    I lived in Vegas for many years and I was actually there on vacation the day you filmed this. I just wanted to say that you did a wonderful job and you didn't miss a thing. Also, you have a very pleasant voice as well. Thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video for all of us to enjoy. I agree with the other comment...."you are one cool lady"

    Thank you for doing this, I haven't been there since 2000. A lot has changed since then. my Dad told me stories of when he drove his Grandfather from Chicago to L.A. in 1956, I would have loved to see it then.

    @chalronbjork4766 Před 11 lety

    Thank you for filming this - this is great. I love seeing movies that are just plain and down the main street rather than popular sites. It makes other people who don't get to travel to see and enjoy a bit of what they may never be able to see (myself included). Thank you :)

  • @EddieH711
    @EddieH711 Před 11 lety

    I did the same thing. Walked from Mandalay Bay to the Stratosphere. Started early in morning on a Monday which is the best way to do it as there are less people on the Strip. Stopped by every casino along the way. Had breakfast, lunch & dinner. It was the best time. You never really get to "know" Vegas until you walked the whole Strip.

    Walking the strip Las Vegas Strip was a great video to watch... No background noises. Excellent english audio. Loved this very much Looking forward to more from you personally... Freemont St. The north and South shops and maybe a close up of the other side of the strip.. Thank you so much for sharing i have shared with all my friends so they know what to expect and what to do. Would also love one on all the attractions in each of the Casinos.

      Christine: I will keep making videos for CZcams and my site, Living-Las-Vegas.com, and yes the "other side" of the Strip is on the agenda. Much is happening on the Strip that wasn't news a year ago. On this CZcams channel, I have a "Walking Fremont Street" video taken this year. Thanks for the kind words.

    Nostalgia for me, because I visited Las Vegas in 2012 during a tumultuous time of my life and had a great time with a great friend. We went to see the Kevin Hart show and spent 5 days/4 nights there. Sad that most of the places we enjoyed are now gone :(

  • @TheMagicofRoberto
    @TheMagicofRoberto Před 11 lety

    I been to Vegas twice and I hardly gamble and I LOVED IT, I would go back as many times as I could. I think there is so much to see and do and it's free. Sure vegas is a tourist attraction which means money is something you need to bring if you want to experience vegas to the fullest, but anyone saying it is boring, PSSSTTT try living in Ontario Canada!

    We've had several comments sympathetic to the homeless and I'm glad to know that so many people care so much. We have a number of great organizations in Las Vegas that offer to provide shelter and training to veterans, the unemployed and the otherwise disenfranchised. I'm not sure that donning a costume and asking for donations has long-term benefits, and for some tourists, it's disconcerting -- but that's the truth of walking the Strip.

    @DTBenefits  Před 11 lety

    My first visit was three days, no sleep. We were more comfortable with five days and ultimately spent a week here. Depends on your age, your tolerance for late nights and whether you are making sidetrips to the Grand Canyon, etc. If you over 50, I'd recommend five to seven days. Under 50 and energetic, you can even do a weekend! In any case, a good time awaits.

    Great video of The Strip. I will be there in July for the Elvis Festival. I sing & play bass guitar to his songs. I'm the only Elvis Tribute Artist in the world I've seen do this. My dream is to get a gig at one of the casinos. I'm a one-man band. I'm exciting. I will be on The Strip somewhere singing to get myself known. The Elvis Festival will be fun, but the best thing is if a casino boss discovers me & I get a gig playing there. I'd move to Vegas in a heartbeat then. Thanks for your video.

    Justin: If you look around, you can find a room in Las Vegas for less than $40 a night (usually during the week) and you can find lots of activities here at no cost: the Bellagio gardens; Big Elvis, etc. Food can also be located at little cost, also. Otherwise: just look at everyone's Las Vegas videos and you'll have a virtual vacation!
