    In this video we are doing a review of staying at Horseshoe Hotel and Casino at the center of the Las Vegas Strip. I stayed in the cheapest room available (Resort King) and was able to get upgraded to a higher floor with a better view without doing the $20 trick. I'll give you a walkthrough tour of the property, show you a lot of activities and new things to do since they changed their name from Bally's. We'll cover the hotel room, the WSOP poker room, how to find the uber and lyft pickup spot, the new arcade (former sportsbook), Twilight Zone by Monster Mini Golf, Bodies Exhibit, National Geographic Rarely Seen, Cabinet of Curiosities Bar and Speakeasy, gym/fitness center, food court, pool, monorail station, Bazaar Shops, steakhouse, restaurants, best photo spots and history (MGM fire). We'll wrap up the video with pros and cons, the resort fee, taxes, how good of a value the property is (cheap vs expensive), what type of traveler it is ideal for and a few employee shout outs!

    Love how the daily resort fee is more than the actual room rate per night, essentially more than doubling the cost of the room.

    • @lrturner4141
      @lrturner4141 Před rokem +39

      What's so bad about it is that it's just greed. You already pay big bucks to eat at the resort restaurants, plus possibly losing loads in the casino. Charge for parking...geez. Tipping staff....If they must charge resort fee they could cut it down to $10. Not the same amount of the room.

    • @FlintIronstag23

    I'm so glad you mentioned the uber pickup. as someone who does Uber fulltime, lots of people will be at the main entrances of casinos and I have to tell them where to go. They sometimes think we just don't want to "go around the corner" to get them but they don't know we could get fined, also when it's super busy that little corner can turn into a 10-20 minute turn around if it's bumper to bumper

    • @mikesiegrist928
      @mikesiegrist928 Před rokem +3

      Yeah that’s true. A lot of tourists don’t realize every hotel in Las Vegas has a designated place for pick ups. They can get in a lot of trouble if they break the rules so be patient with your drivers and meet them where they tell you!

  • @kosekdemel
    @kosekdemel Před rokem +4

    Thank you Jacob for this very interesting video. I think the most valuable comment ( apart from the hotel reviews) you made that I hope everyone take notice, is the acknowledgement of the painters and window cleaners that work outside the hotels...especially during summers if they do.

    Thank you for an excellent informative video ! I’ve always liked Bally’s and it was was interesting to now see what it looks like since becoming Horseshoe. The one negative has always been their lack of dining options but like you said there are so many options just outside the door. And also it’s attached to Paris and that walkway between casinos has a lot of good choices. Thanks again for sharing this update.

    WOW. This is one of the best and most well planned out walk throughs I've ever seen. Managed to cover just about everything in good detail without rushing through it. Lots of good editing and camera work. The room review was refreshing to see someone on camera showing the features instead of someone just walking through the room with a camera in front of them. The brief still shots and moving video were placed in good spots. The graphics inserted like the Mirage video were good to. Just an awesome video.

    Great update on the property. Bally’s has always been my go to spot in Vegas. It’s centrally located, parking is good, gaming is good. Caesars rewards takes care of you pretty much. Glad to see that they’re reviving the lower area/underground mall.. walking distance to a lot of good spots. The only thing Is why the pool is so far from the rooms? Other than that our go to spot!

    Glad you mentioned a little history and the famous fire of 1980. I read that some people in the casino didn't want to leave their slot machine even though the place was on fire---how dumb was that. Also, Vegas supposedly now has the toughest fire code in the country because of that fire.

      Happens all the time. Gambling is a strong addiction for a lot of people and they refuse to leave the machine even if their life is in danger. Kinda sad. PH had a flood a while back and there’s a video of a woman getting rained on at a slot and she just refused to change machines. Please when you come to our casinos we want you to have fun but if you can’t control the urge to play then seek help. We have resources for you and there’s no shame in it. I’ve done it myself.

      Harrah's in Laughlin, NV once had a bomb threat and it took forever to clear the casino floor. I finished my work and wanted to go home, but I was stuck there too. At least I didn't have to leave a machine "that was about to hit", haha. I've heard of many stories of people soiling themselves because they didn't want someone taking "their" machine.
      In a fire you could get burned twice, one could get burned on their body and when the casino shuts off the power before you casn out. Some people don't think ahead.

    Ballys..er..Horseshoe has been my go-to place in Vegas for years now. Always get decent rates, the slightly larger rooms are fine and the location is great. I do hate kiosk check-in however as I prefer to talk to a human as per room selection. Anyway nice video Jacob.

    I’m watching you forever bro - your videos are looking super sharp - awesome editing, sound and shooting. I’m a CZcamsr as well I get a lot of motivation from you.

    They have the friendless staff, 65 inch TVs, a long history, and are willing to upgrade me everytime. Also the room prices there seem to fluctuate more than most.

    Great review Jacob. Definitely this is a decent price for center strip. I’ll be staying here in the future to check it out.
