In 1969 The International Las Vegas Hilton - Westgate became the first mega resort of its time It was developed by Mr. Kirk Kerkorian under the ownership of MGM International Leisure Corporation .
When they had Elvis, the showroom was packed every night. Plus, this was the businessman's hotel for non-stop conventions through the early 2000's. It was by far the top grossing Hilton in the World for decades!
My first trip to Vegas july 1975 stayed at the Hilton (now westgate). At that time was biggest resort hotel in the world -2700 rooms. Was 18 - my first time in a casino & guest of my parents who were on a junket. Had card that allowed me to order food in any restaurant on site for 2 including room service - Was on top of the world :) the best trip ever ! Remember eating at Benihana & they used to have outstanding steak house at the Hilton. Going to old time Vegas shows where they put 3 drinks on the table for everyone before the show started & circus circus when it was still a beautiful place ! Excellent vid - never realized what it’s like inside the westgate . 😎🇨🇦✌️
Thanks for a great vlog! I worked at the old Hilton casino 20+ years ago. Good to see the property has been kept up. Benihana's still looks beautiful and the Sportsbook has maintained its reputation for the restaurants/good food. The property was known as a quiet place where celebs could hang out without being bothered. And hey, it's where Indecent Proposal was filmed. I do miss the Star Tek experience though...Quark's bar was awesome!
Quark's was lots of fun. My wife and I took a photo with some Klingons there. While we were posing one of them growled to me, "Your female is groping me!".
I just got back from the Westgate. Arrived at Noon and they let us have a room early for $25 which was well worth it. Great customer service, room was clean and nice. The entry level room had a huge shower with cool rain head and a 50” TV. On Coolist’s recommendation we went to Fresco and the portions were huge and prices reasonable. They gave us a free one hour late checkout. The only downside was constant waits for elevators and long lines and then packed in there like sardines. The ride took forever because we stopped at almost every floor where people were waiting and could not get on due to it being full. It really marred the trip and I will not come back here because standing in line for an elevator got old.
Two years ago, a few of my friends and I stayed at the Westgate and it was a disaster. We got 3 rooms and each room had a problem. One room’s sink leaked loudly all night, one room’s sink leaked so much that it flooded the hallway( management never came by to fix the problem and did not offer us a different room). Last room looked like they never changed the sheets or vacuumed the carpet. We stayed for 3 days in these conditions and were offered a free night for just the room that flooded the hallway. Will never stay there again.
Your are correct sir! Until Circa's sportsbook came along, the Westgate sportsbook was touted as the largest in the world. Circa now lays its claim to fame on that title. Cheers!
I too was surprised there was no monorail mention as that was what brought me to the property to see both the superbook and the star trek experience. A short ride connects you to Flamingo through the Ballys stop and Tropicana through MGM.
I loved this place. I like how the monorail stops right at it and takes you to any casino. We stayed there for our 10 year wedding anniversary and they upgraded us when they found out. The only part we didn't care for was all the people trying to sell you timeshares every time you go in. We stayed there 6 days and they tried every time we came downstairs. But I will definitely be back and if anyone hasn't stayed there yet I highly recommend it for the price.
My friend Bryan is there right now! I hadn't ever considered the Westgate - Bryan mentions it to me last week and now there YOU are! Guess its now on my list of resorts to try in Las Vegas. Thank you
GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
We went to the Westgate for the first time last Friday and was pleasantly surprised as well. It was gorgeous! There was a live rock band at the international bar and the vibe was incredible. Everyone was dancing and having a great time! So maybe when you check it out again in the summer, you’ll see the night life. Thank you for another awesome video 😄
Great video to one old time fave of mine. I haven’t stayed there since it was the Hilton. Having gone to many Comdex and CES conventions, I stayed at the Hilton a lot. I recognized the marble and chandeliers and Elvis, all from the International and Hilton. Resorts World has some homages to the place. While all the convention folks paid through the nose, I played and got comped or $50 nights during the convention. It was soooo convenient. That’s who stays there, are you sure they converted rooms to time share? They always sold Hilton timeshares at the meeting place of the two hallways. It was for the towers they were building back then, now all built. They bank on conventions so no rooms is an issue but Covid had to be a giant hit. Benihana area is still gorgeous. Eaten there a bunch and the other sections, no unlimited sushi in my time, sadz. You missed, IMHO, a major selling point. The Monorail is right outside the front door. Buy a day or multi day pass and go from Sahara to MGM in minutes. So convenient and cheap. Beats Ubering.
It is world famous for being Elvis Presley's home in Vegas and appearing in the movie That's the Way It Is. Unfortunately they changed the name of the Hotel and a lot of things from that Golden Age, including Elvis' suite, which any Marketing student understands should be preserved as it was. I think the new owners have a Gold Mine in their hands and very strangely don't seem to understand this.
Anyone going to Vegas DO NOT sleep on the Palace Station, Great Restaurants, Great Prices and The Rooms are solid. Westgate is a solid choice as well but I prefer the restaurants at Palace Station.
Hi! I have been here for a month now. I like it here but it’s totally different from Las Vegas Strip. My move went smooth. I transported my car here and received that first. My belongings came around 3 weeks later. Please do an appointment for DMV because that could be 1 or 2 months later before getting your car registered. Nevada goes off of your MRSP and year that will be the registration fee for your vehicle (didn’t know that until I called my insurance) Your car insurance will be higher. The people are really nice. For the locals bowling, movies, and sport boards are located inside the casinos along with certain restaurants. The restaurants and locals spot are good. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the tour James👍 Great video, presentation and review. I enjoyed watching it. You produce great work and I look forward to each video. I'm also impressed with your vocabulary btw and articulate and explain things well.
I.ll be there in a couple of weeks for the first time and I had this hotel on my radar because of the affordability but I read good and bad reviews and I wanted to see ur video before I make my decision thanks bro
Thank you for the kick to visit again. I first was wowed by the area leading to Benihana (eeeek) about 45 years ago when I was sneaking in underage. Stayed many times when it was the Hilton and even as the LVH. The Westgate stopped booking some entertainment I liked.....and I got out of the habit. Your sushi review tells me I'll be there next trip! Thank you.
Sold! A horse player and better on other sports, the fantastic sports book is for me. For a fantastic championship boxing match this place will be the place to be if not at ringside. The room looks really grand and the casino floor, magnificent. My kind of place Thanks for the great vlog.
Stayed at the Springhill across the street. Westgate had the best blackjack tables during my trip. Affordable too... Some $10 tables during the week and a $15 on weekends.
Las Vegas History Opened in 1969 The International - Las Vegas Hilton- Westgate was the first mega resort of its time Developed by Kirk Kerkorian MGM- International Leisure Corporation
I really enjoyed my time at Westgate inside of the building it was nice it was impressive the food was really good the only thing I didn’t like was while inside the building I was constantly bombarded by people trying to sell me a timeshare other than that nice place good price
About to head back to the Westgate for my 2nd time in a couple of weeks. Its an ideal just off strip location for me. Love the 10$craps. Its a surprisingly nice place for the money.
another great vlog sir!! i love your reviews because you make them exciting and informative!!! you do a great job on bringing great reviews of these vegas properties!!!! Its nice to see the casinos and the restaraunts ,and the hotel rooms all in one vlog for each property instead of a bunch of separate ones like other vloggers do!! your reviews are top notch buddy, thank you again!!! im also a new subscriber to your channel....cheers
This is honestly the second consecutive review of yours that I felt was more rushed/hurried in its pacing. It may just be indicative of personal preference, but again: I think your reviews are at their very best when you let them breathe more as though you're soaking everything in and having a zen-like moment while doing and also vicariously taking us along on the ride as if we're people-watching you, as well as making us aware of possible things that might disappoint us or things we might want to consider. And much like the Orleans review, the pacing of this felt more like a 200-meter dash than a leisurely saunter. That said, your Vegas reviews are still by far the best in my opinion among CZcamsrs (and that's saying a lot because I do LOVE the production quality of both Travel Ruby and Pompsi's videos...............I just think theirs are more style/aesthetic over substance and though I enjoy both I prefer substance) and I strongly agree with you that it's a shame Westgate is sooooooooo overlooked and under appreciated much like Sahara and STRAT. I'd honestly give Westgate a 2.5 using your grading rubric because I definitely consider it a better than tolerable choice among the best given the value, amenities and atmosphere, even though I wouldn't normally tug at the ankles of my friends recommending it to them when there are other options abound. I think where they mainly lose points with me to keep it from being a 3 are 1) having a very mediocre pool, 2) lacking a nightclub and 3) despite being reasonably clean and well-maintained in spite of its age, still lacking in the way of theme or overt experience. I intuit older demographics will enjoy this property more than younger ones overall, though I certainly think younger folks shouldn't be dismissive or write this place off. =) Keep up the great vids, yaaaaaaaaaayyy! =D
Hi james great vlog again sir, you show the hotels in a great way. For me I don’t think I would stay there as I like to stay on the strip, but a hotel definitely worth a visit. 👏🏻👏🏻
Hey guys... Smif. & Laly hopping in for a quick second... GREAT VIDEO JAMES!!! 🤘🏾😙🤙🏽 I just want to say, the Westgate has FOUR permanent shows. Manilow is the residency (it's actually an entertaining show in the LARGER arena, fan or not it's a solid show) then you have the Soul of Motown Tribute Show (really good show), Jen Kramer Magic (family friendly decently entertaining show) and the Bronx Wanderers (rock n roll show). They used to have George Wallace (HILARIOUS) and Sexxy the Show (it was just that... a SEXY topless revue) but then they went all "family friendly" after C-19. 🤣 Anyway... the point is they ALSO, host different events and tours so it really just depends on when you're there... so I'd suggest checking out their website before you go, you might catch a REALLY GREAT show. Lastly... he's right, there aren't any "clubs or lounges" but... the International Bar does host live bands (local to cover), guest DJ's on weekends. The SuperBook does SUPER KARAOKE which is an awesome time after a few or MANY drinks. Lol Go to our channel and watch our Westgate reviews part 1 & 2.
As always, another great video but I was wondering at the end, what are your bottom say 3 LV properties? I get the impression you are typically very upbeat about all of them you stay it. Or what have I missed ?
My first trip to vegas in 1975 we stayed at the LV Hilton now the Westgate and at that time it was the largest hotel in the world. Another fact is that Elvis was in residence there and lived in the most over the moon suites imaginable with over 30,000sq feet. Check it out on CZcams
what room is that? I'm looking at that hotel and the 1 bedroom villa or luxury suite look nice, not sure if I want to spring for the suites price difference if the villa is a decent room.
I worked there for almost a year. Don’t stay at that hotel. They attract only very low class clientele, the rooms are old and filthy, the smell of weed permeates every room and there are constant issues with vagrants breaking into rooms. Add to that the constant domestic violence issues and prostitutes stalking the property. If you’re lucky, you’ll get robbed before you even check in! I’ve seen it all!! The parking areas are very unsafe and vehicle break ins are a daily event. This is one of the most low budget hotels near the strip. Yes, it is very affordable but that’s also way it is garbage. You get what you pay for. Do not stay at that property no matter how nice this video makes it look.
You sound BITTER. We've been going to the Westgate TWICE a year since 2015 and not ONCE were we ever robbed, seen ANY DV or prostitutes, have rented SEVERAL nice rental cars and NOT A ONE was ever broken into and lastly never had our room broken into. However... I will say during Covid... I think all the hotels were very desperate and allowed some not too decent people to get a cheap stay and at that time damn near ALL of Vegas stunk of weed. It was terrible, remember all the idiots in those damn rascal scooters??🤦🏾♂️
You have no idea how much I appreciate you doing the budget friendly spots.. VEGAS 2022 😈🎰
Not to mention Elvis Presley played here year after year and it's a place he considered special.
In 1969
The International
Las Vegas Hilton
- Westgate
became the first mega resort of its time
It was developed by
Mr. Kirk Kerkorian
under the ownership
of MGM International
Leisure Corporation .
Also, the monorail stops at Westgate. You can literally get to the center strip area within minutes.
I've never taken the monorail. Does it accommodate scooters for those who can't walk?
And the memories of Elvis performing there still bring good Vegas karma!
Elvis' Eternal Home in Vegas, International Hotel and then Hilton! The movie That's the Way It Is was filmed there.
When I first stayed there in 93,' The Las Vegas Hilton & Flamingo Hilton's were special places!
Some of the best Luxury Suites in Vegas, as well.
When they had Elvis, the showroom was packed every night. Plus, this was the businessman's hotel for non-stop conventions through the early 2000's. It was by far the top grossing Hilton in the World for decades!

wow its good to see someone who saw all the same Hilton I saw. The Star Trek Casino area was awesome and Benihana was the best.

I’ve been curious about this property. Thanks for doing this video.
Another amazing, concise review. The Monorail stops at the Westgate, so you're just minutes from all the strip attractions.
I too was surprised there was no monorail mention as that was what brought me to the property to see both the superbook and the star trek experience. A short ride connects you to Flamingo through the Ballys stop and Tropicana through MGM.
You freakin rock dude. Thanks for this upload.
We are going to Vegas in April. We will definitely go to that sushi buffet place. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us
Hi James! I'm not gonna lie this place ticks all the boxes for me! Thank you for the review
I loved this place. I like how the monorail stops right at it and takes you to any casino. We stayed there for our 10 year wedding anniversary and they upgraded us when they found out. The only part we didn't care for was all the people trying to sell you timeshares every time you go in. We stayed there 6 days and they tried every time we came downstairs.

I Believe Westgate is Woefully underrated. I love visiting there... Great Video James...
Hey! I completely, unironically love Barry Manilow. I would book a stay there when he’s performing in a heartbeat.
His show there is awesome. I will go again!
Wow! I didn't expect all of that from the Westgate!
This place looks way better than i expected. I do sports every day so will be checking out there books for sure now.
I swear i’m starting to live for ur vids.. used to live in Vegas. So nostalgic
Nothing better than a lazy Sunday and the latest Coolist video drops
GOD BLESS YOU JAMES. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
Totally love you’re channel😊

The key you forgot in your intro... the convention center is right next door! Oh, and they have comps for the slot players.
Just Booked, can't wait for EVO 2024

Perfect comment. I fully agree with you!
Anyone going to Vegas DO NOT sleep on the Palace Station, Great Restaurants, Great Prices and The Rooms are solid. Westgate is a solid choice as well but I prefer the restaurants at Palace Station.
I stayed there back in October 2021. My experience was good and stayed in that same room. I’ll be a local real soon.
When are you moving I'm planning on moving this time next year I wanna hear about your 1st week and how was the move
Hi! I have been here for a month now. I like it here but it’s totally different from Las Vegas Strip. My move went smooth. I transported my car here and received that first.

You didn’t mention the monorail that takes you from the Westgate all the way down the strip. It is also the closest hotel to the Convention Center.
Yes, this is what really makes it a Yes for me, you can get to the strip super easily on the monorail, the wife and I love the Westgate.
@@California_Pokeryour wife and I love it too!
The sushi spot is a pro tip.. I never been to west gate! Thanks
Bring back the Star Trek Experience.
YES!
Big hi from Kelowna B.C. Thanks for all the information ,have to try it !!
Stayed at the Springhill across the street. Westgate had the best blackjack tables during my trip. Affordable too... Some $10 tables during the week and a $15 on weekends.

Keep up the great vids, yaaaaaaaaaayyy! =D
Just booked my stay here for October. Going to see the raiders VS Texans game. Great video.
6:09 really weird but plausible combo lol
Sweet! Thanks 😊
Awesome video as usual James.
I heard those Wheel of Fortune slots are the worst you could play, you have the same odds as playing Powerball
Loved the sushi 🍣 restaurant, it was gorgeous 😍
Hi james great vlog again sir, you show the hotels in a great way. For me I don’t think I would stay there as I like to stay on the strip, but a hotel definitely worth a visit. 👏🏻👏🏻
Hey guys... Smif. & Laly hopping in for a quick second...
GREAT VIDEO JAMES!!! 🤘🏾😙🤙🏽
I just want to say, the Westgate has FOUR permanent shows. Manilow is the residency (it's actually an entertaining show in the LARGER arena, fan or not it's a solid show) then you have the Soul of Motown Tribute Show (really good show), Jen Kramer Magic (family friendly decently entertaining show) and the Bronx Wanderers (rock n roll show).
They used to have George Wallace (HILARIOUS) and Sexxy the Show (it was just that... a SEXY topless revue) but then they went all "family friendly" after C-19. 🤣
Anyway... the point is they ALSO, host different events and tours so it really just depends on when you're there... so I'd suggest checking out their website before you go, you might catch a REALLY GREAT show.
Lastly... he's right, there aren't any "clubs or lounges" but... the International Bar does host live bands (local to cover), guest DJ's on weekends. The SuperBook does SUPER KARAOKE which is an awesome time after a few or MANY drinks. Lol
Go to our channel and watch our Westgate reviews part 1 & 2.
Great work ❤
Solid review!!
I work at the Westgate resorts in Branson Missouri
Ok added to my list
Geez... Fortuna has been there forever.
Make your bed !
Do a great job ! Thx
Probably better than staying downtown near Fremont in regards to noise?
enjoy your watching videos on Las Vegas. on your rating scale I would give yourself 6. what hotels on the strip would you give 6 . take care!
Of course theses casinos can have elegant resorts thanks to all the gamblers.
As always, another great video but I was wondering at the end, what are your bottom say 3 LV properties? I get the impression you are typically very upbeat about all of them you stay it. Or what have I missed ?
My first trip to vegas in 1975 we stayed at the LV Hilton now the Westgate and at that time it was the largest hotel in the world. Another fact is that Elvis was in residence there and lived in the most over the moon suites imaginable with over 30,000sq feet. Check it out on CZcams
Awesome video! Where did you grab that 🍕 pizza & roast beef melt & fries 🍟 at the Westgate?
The Westgate ised to be the Las Vegas Hilton. Is it perhaps still tied to the HILTON Chain? And I'be stayed at both.
Had the best sportsbook before circa
You sir have an iron stomach amazing… lol
been wanting you to do thus one bro.
Thank you for the great vlog on Westgate! Where do you buy and what brand are your shirts?
Westgate was my spot when I was hittn licks and runnin scams in Vegas. Far enough off the strip but not too far.
And you get to be the only person there!
Great vlog. Did you see any of the bands
It looks like the monorail goes there. We won’t have a car. Where would we catch the monorail?
what room is that? I'm looking at that hotel and the 1 bedroom villa or luxury suite look nice, not sure if I want to spring for the suites price difference if the villa is a decent room.
Dig the videos bro… comment for algorithms sake…
Left gates Las Vegas
Can do a review of Mandalay bay
Pool?
this casino is stuck in the 90s lol
Did all you can eat sushi at a Benihana really have the same quality and taste as Muzumi ?
I love a good gasoline drink
Love Westgage but do no play slots there, their slot machines are tight. Hard to cash out winners at those slot machines there.
A 2?
Is all of Vegas empty?
I worked there for almost a year. Don’t stay at that hotel. They attract only very low class clientele, the rooms are old and filthy, the smell of weed permeates every room and there are constant issues with vagrants breaking into rooms.
Add to that the constant domestic violence issues and prostitutes stalking the property. If you’re lucky, you’ll get robbed before you even check in! I’ve seen it all!!

You sound BITTER. We've been going to the Westgate TWICE a year since 2015 and not ONCE were we ever robbed, seen ANY DV or prostitutes, have rented SEVERAL nice rental cars and NOT A ONE was ever broken into and lastly never had our room broken into.
However... I will say during Covid... I think all the hotels were very desperate and allowed some not too decent people to get a cheap stay and at that time damn near ALL of Vegas stunk of weed. It was terrible, remember all the idiots in those damn rascal scooters??🤦🏾♂️
@@SmifLaly danm thanks for the comment I just booked a week and I was getting scared reading this
Is this hotel on the out skirts of Vegas?
It is nice because it is a stop on the monorail, so you can get to the Strip quickly.
@@bryannelson6139 It’s about a half mile off the strip
Would never stay. Use to work there. Horrible owners just interested in selling timeshares. They treat the employees poorly. Grade F
