Watch Next: The Biggest Tourist Traps in Las Vegas - czcams.com/video/zDz4C60cChA/video.html
Oh no, wish her a speedy recovery.
I'm old enough to remember when Vegas was cheap and fun. Now it's just for suckers.
Vegas, the biggest tourist trap ever. I'm surprised that walking is free.
There’s actually a walking fee , your feets
@@decoraven825 hahahah true. but I mean a monetary fee.
Go to old Vegas
LOL
Yes, for the uninformed. I go frequently, almost never gamble, and I get a ton of comps and discounts to go. It’s the cheapest place to ‘getaway’ to if you’re smart about it.
Just tonight I said to my husband- we haven't heard from Tangerine in a while! Glad to see you . 💜💜💜
I love Vegas but hate all these stealth fees which have been increasing steadily since I first visited in 2007. We need to find a way to push back and let them know we (the public) won't tolerate them anymore. More transparncy on these costs.
Housekeeping seems to be problematic in Vegas post pandemic too. We stayed at Linq and they ask you ifyou want it during the stay, we ticked yes but nobody came around on 1st night. WE subsequently complained and eventually someone came around, although no discount to our check out bill was applied. At Mirage though House keeping was perfect, great job and around the same time every day.
Wish I would have watched this before we went to LV. We were able to avoid parking with the Military Status. We found LV to be so much more expensive than we remembered. Thanks for sharing.
You’re back!! I was getting worried 😟, did you take time off and I didn’t get the advisory ? 😁
I loved the tourist traps to avoid. My favorite charge we had this is from the Wynn. We stay there two to three times a year. In December we went there and went to valet parking. No one ever told us that we would be charges $35.00 a day to park there. 7:43 My husband is handicapped and needs to park there because he uses an electric card to get around. When we objected to the charge it was too bad pay the charge. When we stay at the Venation we are never charged for this service. I would like to see a video about this problem and which hotels are handicapped friendly. I will be checking for this video.
Cher from San Diego county.
Resort fees are a total joke. I thought it was illegal for online booking sites to not state the total costs for what you are purchasing?
Missed your videos! Great advice, currently planning my first trip to vegas 😁
So very glad to hear may was with you ! I was worried a little🤗 hope she recuperates quickly
Man I miss the good ole videos
My next trip to Vegas I will try some of those things thanks
Had same experience on waiving resort fee. Last stay in Venetian, I couldn't sleep due to the noise from Tao light club nearby. Front desk waived my resort fee for that.
Resort World did start charging for parking.
Technically yes, but it's still free parking for all Genting Rewards members, regardless of status level. So you just give them your email and your get free parking. So for that reason I still consider RW to have free parking.
I don't gamble so these loyalty programs are worthless to me and gambling will cost you way more than resort fees. The place was built on other people's money. Vegas can be entertaining in other ways. Resort fees or whatever they call it are rip-offs that we have been suckered into.
Believe it or not you can still get a lot of value from the loyalty programs even if you don't gamble. I've qualified for tier status just by status matching which has gotten many many comped resort fees, free show tickets, free attractions, and free meals.
Also, 90% of the gambling that I do is just at low limits for the purpose of getting free drinks. And then I get all or part of my resort fees comped for that gambling.
You can also get the mgm credit card and not use it!
You sound like the most boring bland dude lol. I would hate to be the one to go to Vegas with you
The extra fees are a result of less gambling vs the past. They have to fund Vegas and the % of revenue coming from gambling has fallen from well over 70% to under 40%.
I have only gambled a few times in my life, they give me free things all the time
Thank you for the good information on ways to save money on fees! Good advice 👍
Stay at Three Queens Downtown. NO resort fee, ever!
Hey, have enjoyed your vids but wasn’t really a CZcams user. Now that I am using it more I’ve subscribed! Looks like you’re about to reach your 300k goal, yay! Here’s 1 one more sub 😉🙌
Awesome, thank you!
@@TangerineTravels just please more Oaxaca content/travels
How did May like Vegas?
Last time I visited Vegas in 2015 I remember all the casinos had free parking except the golden nugget I also remember that there was no tourist tax at the hotels.
Newbie here - I'm sure most of you will roll your eyes at the stupidity of my questions, but.... How do you follow these loyalty perks? I've signed up online when I booked my room, but do I need to get a card for the slot machines? Do I need a card to show in MGM restaurants or gift shops (or are they not points earners)?
Yes, you'll go to the MGM Rewards desk when you get to Vegas and you'll get a card that you'll put into a slot machine each time you play or hand it to the dealer in the case of a table game. And you'll show that same card to accrue points when eating at restaurants. Or if you charge your purchases to your room you'll get credit for those purchases without having to show your loyalty card.
Didn’t even know about travel routers great tip
Great Complimentary advice As the saying goes "IF you don't ask, you don't Recieve"🙂👍
Straight to the meat and potatoes earned my sub.
If instead enough people just plain decided not to visit Vegas due to the price gouging and scams the resorts would change a lot of their policies.
maybe we should try not eating to get food prices down
Havent seen u in awhile. Happy new years jordan
Awesome hopefully ur lady is with u :)
She was but unfortunately she got Covid and spent the first 4 or 5 days in the room
@@TangerineTravels - Hey Jordan! Feliz Año Nuevo, to you, May, and Laska. I truly hope she gets better.
I also hope you can have a livestream sometime this week, or even this coming Sunday. I sure miss those! #TangerineTravels
Thanks, I will be going to Vegas in a couple of months and knowing your tips will help a lot! Especially those hotel fees.
Just skip Vegas....then you can avoid ALL fees...?🤪🤪
Las Vegas used to be a nice place to go. Resort fees are killing las vegas!!!! Cost too much to eat at the buffets and no free parking.
So basically you buy $25000 gambler status to avoid the $20 resort or parking fee ! Genius !
Why would anyone want to go the a place like L.V. anyway. It’s a horror show. I went once - so depressing to see addicted people gambling, drinking and everything else - very low brow, bad energy - place full of bad taste glitz…not my cup of tea.
Good for you
I see tons of people having a blast with their families and friends when I'm there.
I really don't see the hype about Vegas. You lose money in every aspect from the hotels, gambling, food, ubers, taxis, car rentals, clubs, any experience or adventure...not to mention it's full of homeless people, druggies, drunks, and wh*res. So many better places to visit for much much much less, especially over seas. Every body loses when they go to Vegas, even if you didn't gamble
I think many go to Vegas because it's so over the top. Large glitzy hotels, famous entertainers and neon lights.
I never saw the hype either because I'm not much of a gambler myself but the biggest misconception about Vegas is that it's very expensive. You can vacation like a high roller and still be on a budget but you have to be smart. It's their job to get you there to spend money but it's up to the person to be responsible for themselves. You can't knock it if you've never been
@@rayneuy3273 that was 20-30 years ago. It’s now a slum with most of the casinos old, worn out and reeking of stale smoke. The homeless, vagrants, mentally ill and drug users are everywhere including inside the casinos. Felonies are being committed openly and you take your life in your hands being there. I’ve been going to Vegas for over 30 years and after my last stay at Harrahs, I’ll never go back. one last thing, there is zero customer service. No appreciation for your card or gambling status.
@@RMatra Thanks for sharing. For whatever reason, Vegas is still a popular tourist destination.
@@rayneuy3273 Balrog, SF 2.
I went for my last bday at Mandalay told them it was my bday I got upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite No resort fees! Go to Flamingo day pool party🤘
Great tips! Bookmarked!
Resort world now charges for parking
Only if you're not a Genting Rewards member and you can sign up for free when you arrive. So for that reason I still consider it to be free.
When gambling, you end up losing more money than the money you are trying to save. Trying to live up to casino requirements becomes more expensive.
I tried the “casino host” trick on my last trip (Cosmopolitan) and it didn’t work, they said we didn’t play enough 😢 ($800), but that I had $11 on my players card that they could use to deduct off our bill. At least it was something 😂
Those restaurant fees like concession fee or whatever are the most annoying. it's a dirty trick. At least resort fees are known before you buy.
Totally agree. They're really scammy. It used to be that only a few restaurants on the entire Strip charged them. But now it seems like it's about 50%
@@TangerineTravels a few years ago I noticed one or two. My last trip in the fall, I noticed about 1/3 the restaurants that weren’t fast food had some hidden fee. I’m usually expensing it for work so not the biggest problem to me but it’s really shady practice (if I stay I extra days for personal time, I buy cheap food and hotels).
I lived in Vegas for 6 years before moving to Mexico. I do not understand the appeal at all unless you are some sort of compulsive gambler.
Why do rich high rollers get free rooms , food , drinks and limo service ? I can barely afford the flight to Vegas . !!! I'm thinking about selling mountain fresh air in a can for you to breath . $15
Great helpful video!
Just to let you know , manoshere highlights daily, mhd, put me 9n to your channel .
Awesome! I just saw that video
its sad you have to work so hard on vacation to avoid hidden fees vegas had become to overpriced to enjoy a stay
Gambling is such a funny thing. Ive watched my brother in law many times get absolutely wrecked while continually throwing more money down. I lose 50 bucks and I have no problem immediately going and doing something else. I go in with zero expectation of ever winning so once the entertainment value runs out, so do I.
this one was worth watching.
Thanks
Great vid
Used to go to business conventions everything was reasonable.
Now you spend your time to trying to outwit all the ripoffs.who needs that?
Caesers won't match a status match anymore. Tried that doesn't work anymore
Do you have any suggestions for this 72yo grandma taking her two grandchildren to Vegas 18 and one turning 21. Place to stay - what to do, etc
Maybe should stay at an Airbnb??
In Honolulu, my Sheraton beach side hotel wanted high fees. Spoke to the manager and told him that; I can't sit in sun,allergic won't be in pool and won't use gym; fee was $75 a day. I paid $12 for internet.talj to hotels manager! They are your friend
several hotels are doing away with resort fees if you stay at their hotel at certain times ....... this is durning slow days like monday thru thursday durning weeks that are slow for them
We are not gamblers, but love Las Vegas. The food the shows. Can we we still save money ?
Love the CAD currency conversions Jordan
Gotcha fees, welcome to Mercia.
Hotels should charge elevator fees and toilet flush fees
Stay off strip and u won't have any resort fees!!
Last time I visited Vegas I got socked up side of the head by a drunk random mayate on the strip and I ended in a fist match. I like Vegas but I hate the strip because of it, I avoid it and I prefer visiting north Vegas and Wendover.
Oh my gosh. What happened to your physical therapist Mexican girlfriend in Mexico?
Save on resort fees by spending that money at the casino lol.
What about Nevada's Trade Practice Laws and The Internet Tax freedom Act. Heard resort fees were il,egal due to the Nevada Gaming's Commission?
Beautiful vlog. Watching your video from India 🇮🇳 .Enjoyed watching your video. Please visit india 🇮🇳 ❤🧡💚. The Government of India is building a tourist circuit in the country. World's most favorable and beautiful tourist destination. You will have more fun in India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 . 🤩I hope that you will also tour India soon. There are many such places in India too which are full of natural beauty.India is known worldwide for its hospitality.Oldest civilization in the world!
The problem is Indian people are so cheap! What’s the reason for that?
I just have a question, can I ask the servers to remove the "BS Restaurant Fees" and they will remove these fees easily? What if they say they can't?
I just say “I don’t want to pay this, can you please remove this fee?” Then either they do it themselves or the go to their manager and the manager does it. But I’ve never had to argue or say anything other than that
great video: need your advice. i heard about the wyndham status match so i got the ihg premier cc which automatically matched me to wyndham. then i went to caesars online and in person and by phone, and all of them said because i was upgraded to diamond from a credit card, i would not be able to get caesars diamond match. i did this about two weeks ago. did caesars change thins around? any thoughts on this? thank you!
Resorts world charge $20 per day or exit.
How much dollar in do you need to get a good fee comp?
3 hrs of Parking is Free for Nevada residents
Sin City
I have herd the casinos are now only using a gambler’s Actual loss’s. No longer coin in like it was before to lift your card status.
I’m a MGM Pearl status holder and a low tier gambler. Like $200. How much time would it actually take me to reach gold ? Lol
Where is your sweetheart?
Stuck in the room with Covid :(
@@TangerineTravels That's terrible. I hope she's okay. I feel bad for her.
Feel better soon🙏
@@TangerineTravels How is this going to affect you? Will it cause you to stay in Vegas a lot longer? She can't exactly fly back to Mexico with COVID. One time I went to Vegas with a relative who had entered a tournament. We had driven there in a brand new Cadillac from California. We basically went right from the Cadillac showroom in San Diego to Vegas with the car and the engine failed in Vegas so it was taken to a Cadillac dealership in Vegas, but it took an entire week for them to obtain and install a brand new engine for it. The good news is the hotel where we were staying Comped us a Free room for an entire week after learning of our plight, maybe the hotel where you are staying would do it too, or at least give you a break based on your unexpected circumstance.
Tell the hotel you're a personal friend of the CEO.
Most don't even know the CEO's name (let alone some secret passwords) to have ANY chance of pulling THAT off. lol
Apparently Resorts World has started charging for parking as of January 2023
It’s still free parking genting rewards members, regardless of status. And it’s free to sign up
@@TangerineTravels ahh I didn't know that. Good to know!
What happened to the Tangerine part?
Do you ever miss Lola & Moyas place ?
how about credit card charge back?
Is the status matching still available in 2024 ? If so please do a new video about this , thanks !
You're 12 months early for the 2024 video.
Nope. Its all been scrapped! No more matching, gambling only now :(
Where is May? 🧐
I wish I could grow a beard like his . ..
When does Wyndham match Hilton gold status to Diamond?
It used to be all the time now it’s just a few times throughout the year. I don’t know if there’s any schedule. I think they’re just random promotions now
Where's the girlfriend ?
Is the service bad in LV?
So these videos of Las Vegas are not of interest me me at all. Curious to know why there are ongoing videos when they have nothing to do with Mexico.
haha love how you are still mentioning the Wyndham to Caesars trick when it has been scrapped!
www.wyndhamhotels.com/wyndham-rewards/caesars-rewards/status-match
Spend 6 thousand 3 days comp only 60$$$ big joke
Yep same here, the comps sucked at the Flamingo. Unlike Foxwoods casino in Ct. way more comps per play. Plus free rooms and food. But its just not Vegas.
Here’s some friendly advice….. go to New Orleans instead.
Don't go to Vegas period. Vegas isn't like used to be. I saw Elvis $15 back then. I refuse to be trapped. I can live without lousy Vegas.
wyndham can't status match
It’s only certain times of year
I got the best savings for you ever bro leave the orphan at home👉👀💃👉💫🤯👺
There is more to life than Las Vegas and Mexico, you should check out Europe
There's more to life than just Vegas, Mexico, and Europe. Asia is way better
This is what his channel is about you clown...lol. That's like purposefully going into Burger King and saying "Hey, there is more to eat than Burgers you should try Chinese Food" You came to his channel if you want Europe take yourself to one of those travel channels...🤣🤣
@@ErikBlack999 Asia is not wayyy better
I loved the Netherlands! Biked almost the entire coast! Amsterdam pretty but kinda sleezy. 3 men asked to pay for me. And I didnt dress like that scantily clad ex of urs.... i wore full clothes!! Def check out another continent dude! Mexico is great, Im here now, but it gets old.
pura mamada!!! sale mas barato pagar el parkig o resort fee, que regalar mi dinero a los casinos para alcanzar un status y evitar dichos fees
1st vid of yours ive seenm you talk about 'tier 1' status but you REALLY mean Tier 2 and same with tiers 2 and 3. You say achieving tier1 gets you free parking. Well, Maybe YOU start counting with Zero but most NORMAL people start with 1. The FIRST LEVEL lowest card which NORMAL people call Tier 1 gets you NOTHING at most places...no parking, no anything...THEN whan you GET to Tier *2* (What you call tier 1) you start getting things. Stop confusing people pls
Yes, I was counting the one you get for free as tier 0, then the first tier you earn as tier 1, and so on.
@@TangerineTravels TY for responding. That's VERY confusing to your TARGET audience, who are Newbies. I know better and wanted to point it out. Please be clearer in future vids. Only software people start counting at Zero.
Useless info, mate
I rather visit Vegas than Mexico. I’ll never visit Mexico again.
Where did you go and what happened? Just curious.
C'mon Man
@@jz2842 Mexico City and saw a couple shootings in less than one month.
@@floridaroadways thats so scary 😟 im glad u were okay
@@janicem3139 thanks. It’s no place for a lady. Trust me.
Should of done hotels in Mexico. Not lame Los Vegas
The male Karen
I hear resorts world now charges for parking!!!!!!!°🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
They do, however all you have to do is give them your email and sign up for Genting Rewards. If you're a Genting Rewards member (even if you never gamble) you still get free parking. That's why I still consider it to be free.
Thanks
