Thank you Chris I absolutely love your videos me and my dad watch your cheap eats video and I am going to eat at in and out burger when I'm there!!!!😊
Chris are you any relation to that Raney family of West Virginia, that put there hired hand in chains, then chopped up the family with an axe? Thomas Raney was his name.
@@smug8567 Hmmmm. Other than sharing a same last name. I would say no because this is the first time I've ever heard of them
@@YellowProductions Ok then. But stay out of Harrahs. That new scent will really choke you.
Love your show
I loved the Luxor, it didn't feel too bougie or make me feel poor lol. It had a lot of things there, good atmosphere.
Thanks for the note on the Luxor!
I would recommend the monorail if your trying to get up and down the strip at night, because the double deuce bus is sooooo slow at night because the traffic is always so bad at night. I've waited 45 minutes for the bus at night before, and it still didnt show up. The monorail travels above ground so theres never more than a 10 minute wait, and it only takes a total of 20 minutes to go from south strip to north strip. Yes you have to walk a little ways to get to it but still, definetely cheaper and FASTER than a bus or even a Uber.
Your videos are so fun and informative! I’m so glad I found your channel ✨🙏🏼
I'm here in Vegas this week for SEMA...so crowded...booked room and flight using my chase UR points and got great value...bought local unlimited bus pass $20 for 3 days...the buses esp the SDX and DEUCE are so convenient and drop off right in front of basically every resort...very convenient! Also picked up a monorail pass which is a nice way to cover a lotta distance quickly to and from the convention center
Thanks for the Caesar palace upcharge FYI going this weekend and first time staying there
Always appreciate your hard work that goes into these videos and livestreams Chris! I've visited Las Vegas twice and I'm lucky to have a friend that lives there so I've saved a ton by being able to stay at their place. It's also great for seeing the local side to Las Vegas since our main focus isn't the strip :)
Thanks nomurida!
Hi Chris. Thanks for sharing greats tips for Vegas. Very useful for the first time visitor as well as the frequent visitor.
Thanks James!
Great video & lots of wonderful info ! Hey happy Bamboo has a twin brother now lol ! Thanks Chris
He's happy to be reunited! :)
Great vid Chris, thanks! Hattie B's in the Cosmo food court is amazing value - just don't buy a beer or soft drink from them! And there's enough food in one meal for 2 to share.
Thank you for your videos. Great info.👍
Thanks Yorel!
The McCarran rental car experience I rank 2nd worst behind renting at La Guardia. The rental car experience at LGA requires you to take a bus to get to the individual rental car buses (at least until the new terminal is completed). Last time I flew into LAS the wait for the shuttle was 20 minutes and by that time 5 buses worth of people had lined up. At least they sent 5 buses to take us all over there. I'm sure DFW is a pain in the neck too, but DFW is my home airport. I can't really speak to the DFW rental experience. I'd highly recommend getting a black-car or Uber/Lyft to take you to your hotel and see if the hotel has a rental car counter. Tropicana has Enterprise and the Flamingo had Hertz 5 years ago.
Great video, definitely gives us ideas for our channel😍
I like your LV videos the most! They always get me ready for a trip out west. You're spot on about rental cars; the rental center is too far away from the strip. It is an added hassle as you're trying to get to and from the airport. A player's club membership can cut can cut your hotel bill at least in half, and gives free parking. I've wanted to try SW airlines, but they don't always have a direct FL to LV flight. It is seasonal every time I've checked .........
Thanks Ken! I think the employees on SW are some of the friendliest around
Very informative, and a fair amount of tips I agreed with based on my experiences there.
Thanks ThisisA!
Chris, just discovered Yellow and immediately subscribed, love it, Thanks!!!
Awesome! Welcome to the channel Lori!
Great chat, Chris! Love your travel style. Your hotel recommendations are always spot on. Conferences drive up hotel rates in all cities but I imagine Vegas is one of the most significant.
Thanks Trip Hacks! Conferences sure do.. I think most cities might see like 2x rates for conferences. Vegas it's like 4x rates
@@YellowProductions Crazy. But also a very useful trip hack if you can figure out how to avoid them.
Love your videos. All your tips are right on the money. I'm going back to Vegas in early December for the 8th time. I'm staying at Bally's in a Resort room with a view of the strip for $238 Sunday to Wednesday all fees included. My free players club membership and the time of year saved me over $150. If you are a first timer Bally's is in the center of the strip across from the Bellagio & Caesars and the rooms were recently redone. It's a great location to see the most without walking all day one way. There is also a walk way in front of Bally's that allows you to walk across to the opposite side to see the Bellagio.
Good deal!
Great information! Heading to Vegas this thanksgiving weekend for my anniversary and I’m so excited to finally have a few days to explore LV 😁
Awesome! Enjoy LV!
Great video alot of great tips out there for first time LV virgins
Thanks for all your tips! I’m visiting Vegas in April and I always am thankful for all your tips. I hate resort fees so much! I am staying 3 Comp nights during the week so it maybe free but I’m hoping to get a nice room anyway :) and I’m on a budget so I will do a trip report and see how I go
Also note that the $20 trick is also great!!!
Thanks CliffyD! Enjoy your trip!
The Luxor is awesome if you get a room in the tower and not the pyramid. The tower rooms are newer and pretty nice! Plus the hotel lobby is awesome and has the E game arena
This guy is the best.I always pick up something new about Vegas I didnt know before
Thanks Bob!
I’m watching it right now in Vegas... staying in the Westin by the man made lake tonight. Thanks for the amazing videos!!!
My pleasure May!
My husband and I stayed at Sam's Town overlooking their Christmas-lights decorated atrium. It was so pretty. They have a convenient shuttle to the strip that stops at Harrah's which is right in the middle of everything. We went over to the Caesar's Palace buffet (it was Monday, Dec. 23, 2019) and the line was insane! So we went to Aria's using the Bellagio/Aria monorail. Aria had holiday pricing on their buffet ($55). We checked it out but decided it wasn't worth it. Anyway, my best tip is to stay at Sam's Town for the holidays because it's quieter and the shuttle is great. It gives you a chance to rest after all that walking. Our favorite part of our trip was all the free stuff like the Bellagio fountains. Go see the fountains at the top of the hour after the sun goes down because that's when they really turned it up. We saw the gingerbread house at the Cosmopolitan which was cute and the Christmas display at the Bellagio garden inside. That was cool. All free. We wanted to go ice skating at the Cosmopolitan but it was raining pretty good so maybe next year.
Thanks for sharing.....Love your background.👍👍👍
Thanks Donna!
@@YellowProductions You're most welcome
I use my Comp rooms through MLife or Caesers. Just pay the resort fee which average $37-45 a night. Which is okay.
Hi Chris. Good tip. I always go to Las Vegas during the week. Also I don’t know if you mentioned it. But another good way to save money is to get your water bottles from a Cvs or Walgreens pharmacy.
Thanks Tim!
Really informative video, Chris. My fiancé and I have done quite a few Vegas trips the past few years and this will definitely help save even more money for our next trip.
Next video should be about best cheap eats or hotels off the strip.
The Signature is very good place to stay at , rooms with balcony for smokers
Thanks for the tip Joe!
Joan that's the best Topher for Chris I think 🤗💖
One great reason to check the hotel websites in Vegas rather than using a third-party site is that most of the major hotels will publish their nightly rates months in advance on an easy to read monthly calendar. If your travel plans are flexible, you can scan through the available nights to find the cheapest times to stay. This also automatically filters out the weekend (although you can find cheaper weekends using this same tip), convention weeks, and other special events
Love this vid! I could not agree more on these tips! Too bad the hooters is gone tho 😩
Thanks Cory!
Hooters the restaurant and casino is actually still there; just rebranded hotel as OYO
just seen this video, as of filming the Hard Rock is NOT closed yet. last day is February 3 2020 at 4pm. It is a great hotel, love staying there.
Thanks for the update!
I wish I could stay up late enough to watch live stream. But I always look forward to the archive if I can’t make the live stream
Glad you could make it to the archive Alex :)
Idea for a Vegas Video - Locals favorites (both on an doff the strip)
In vegas right now your videos are very helpful
Thanks Dustin
@@YellowProductions that chicken sandwich from blue ribbon was a great suggestion
Store clerk: so how many pandas you want?
Chris: Yes
Exactly! :)

Damn, I missed the chance to ask a live question. I'm trying to MOVE to Vegas, and I want to visit, but I want to visit for at least a week or two... so I'm looking for tips to stay a full WEEK in Vegas.
Hey, what’s your opinion on staying in Vdara, would you recommend it for a couple?
Based on your previous recommendations I tried the Aria buffet...i thought it was just okay...dinner was $40... For $45 I think the Wynn buffet is much much better... Everything tasted good 👍🏼
Thanks for the tip on the Wynn!
Excellent my friend.
I'm new to your channel. I used to live in Vegas. Many times actually. Since I was a fetus in fact. I think you are pretty close to Rick Steves. That's a compliment from me. I never really payed for much on the strip but I lived a mile from the Flamingo if you were headed to Boulder Highway. I never pain for the strip bus. I always got a bus off strip because the pass was cheaper and still worked.
Thanks Christina for the kind words! I love Rick Steve's!
I like u guide I plan go nov 16 to 18 ,2021 free parking and can think of deuce bus
Can you swim in pools at any hotel? What’s your recommendation on getting from airport to hotel or air bnb
Thankgiving week itself is also very cheap. Thanksgiving is a family holiday, not a traditional Vegas destination 😊 - that was how I was able to stay at the Wynn last year for a very reasonable rate. Oh, also, the week immediately after CES is very cheap - I was absolutely floored when I saw the rates at the Bellagio and Cosmopolitan in January, even weekend rates, and even for the fountain-view rooms. I would have totally gone if only I could get away from work that often. But I *would* have done the January trip instead of Thanksgiving if I only knew about this beforehand. Will try to catch the same type of deal in the years ahead.
Thanks for the tip on January!
@@YellowProductions Sure, any time. 😊 I mean, it wasn't *cheap* cheap, but it was cheaper than their regular rates, for like a full 8-9 days after CES. For the basic rooms it would have been the same as what I paid at the Wynn ($120 + resort fee/ night), slightly more for fountain view. But I would have paid that just for the experience.
gotta go off-strip for great (affordable) asian food, especially chinese....basically anything on W Spring Mountain Rd....thai, vietnamese, korean, japanese sushi, ramen and robata skewers, shabu shabu, all varieties of chinese including taiwanese, and then there are the asian bakeries, even a tiki bar.....multiple strip malls, Chinatown Plaza the largest....10 min cab ride from the strip.....enjoy!
Hey, one thing I have not heard is shopping for food and liquor on your way to the airport. What we do every time we go to Vegas is we Uber from the airport and go to Vons grocery store, which is on the way to the strip. We then usually buy about $100 worth of food and liquor and that is usually all we spend, other than a dinner or 2 eating out.
Great tip Jason!
American Casino Guide book on Amazon has tons of Vegas coupons.
Also Las Vegas Advisor is a good value's subscription with coupons
Im going to las Vegas in a week can you make more vagas videos please!!!!🤗
Hi Analisa.. I won't have any more Vegas videos in the next week.. but just in case you missed some.. there are 22 of my Vegas videos in this playlist: Las Vegas Travel Videos: czcams.com/play/PLOVadUHX1B-JzE5fiVleugu6HTYLsr2sk.html
if u wanna eat off the strip for cheap, china town is close and there is a lot of good places to eat there
Especially good around Chinese New Years
My tip for the Deuce bus is to sit on the 2nd level. The first level is super crowded and congested and filled with drama. One time an angry passenger got into a verbal argument with the bus driver and threatened to call the fire marshal on the driver because the bus was super crowded on the 1st level.
Thanks for the tip
I stayed at the hilton grand vacations hotel by the convention center. I have hilton diamond status and they said none of those perks apply to the grand vacations line of hotels. I usually get free breakfast, and room upgrades at hilton and hilton affiliates but not there.
If you're looking to stay for customer loyalty perks I wouldn't stay there. They did charge a 33 dollar resort fee so even though its not a resort. Also they do not have any gambling in that hotel.
I don't know if you mentioned in this video or other of your Las Vegas videos, but I'm going in the summer (beginning august) over there. You mentioned to go during the weekday and I'm going on Thursday and leaving on Monday. Would that affect the cost of the hotel or the price is already set on that thursday? Sorry about the question, but it's my first time going on a trip with a friend and I don't want to be unprepared.
The rates are per day.. each day. Thursday might be $100... Friday $200... and Saturday $250 -- just as an example
We have stayed at the Luxor numerous times over the last year and a half. We typically get the Tower One Bedroom Suite and it is NICE! Tried a basic room once and before settling in we upgraded to a 1200 sq. ft premier suite for only $28 more a night. Their basic rooms are just that, a basic hotel room, but their suites are really nice. Their suites aren't really that expensive either...they're cheaper than some of the basic rooms at some of the other hotels along the strip. Plus, gotta love the architectural design inside and outside of Luxor! Definitely a place to visit, even for those who are not staying there.
Thanks for the report on Luxor!
It's cheap but it's out of the way, and tons of walking or cabbing. I've stayed there twice and it's not worth the extra walking, I'd rather be in the middle of the strip.
Do they have bath tubs in those rooms? My dream is a bubble bath in vegas LOL
@@iiExiiLeD I thought staying mid-strip I would do less walking since it's in the middle of everything but I still do a ton of walking even staying at Caesar's Palace or Bellagio. Always average 20-25k steps no matter where I stay.
@@mariiaPastry001 Yes, they do. The pyramid corner suites have the tub in the bed room, which is odd. However, the larger suites do have both a tub and shower inside the bathroom.
Hey! How's Best Western Plus Casino Royale? Would you recommend it? Thanks in advance!
Hi Jean.. I'd put it on the lower end of the scale
What’s your opinion on The Sahara?
How would you rank the Wynn buffet amongst Wicked Spoon, bellagio, aria buffets?
I put Wynn, Wicked Spoon, and Bellagio pretty much at the same tier.. Aria is a tier below.. but its also cheaper :)
Awesome CZcams video
Thanks Stephen!
Can i carrry 2 bags in busses from sf 2 la and la 2 vegas?
People rent out their timeshare points. Best way to have an extended stay. Especially if you book during the week.
I love most of the tips on this video, but I respectfully disagree with your assessment of downtown. With the improvements, it is really becoming a decent option in terms of places to stay. Better gambling odds, cheaper rooms, and most everything is in walking distance. There are no more safety issues on Fremont street itself than you would encounter on the Strip. Going off of Fremont can get sketchy, but the same is true if you walk just a few blocks east or west of the strip!
Love all your tips and tricks... I know You mentioned myvegas for MGM rewards... Does Ceasars have a rewards earning slot game in play store??? Also, Love chubby bear... Miss Topher! It be awesome if the thief returned him...
Thanks Hazel! We miss Topher too!
And I'm unaware of a slot earning game for Ceasars on mobile devices
Caesars definitely has a phone app to play slot games but you don't earn like on the MLife slot app "My Vegas"
I plan stay strat hotel casino how will deuce bus suit me and food or buffet there .
So I'm staying at the Aria for a few days starting Sunday. I'll be getting a rental car and they charge for parking in the Aria garage, unfortunately. What is the closest, safe, free parking area to the Aria? My research shows it's probably the Tropicana Self Parking. Is this correct?
Planet Hollywood has free parking too
@@YellowProductions Ok cool that might be closer thanks!
Do all hotels on the strip have the incidental holding fee that they place on your credit card
I think that's relatively standard
Todd Samson we stayed at Harrah’s for six days they placed a $500 incidental fee on my card, until I spoke with with management and they reduced it to $100....I told them if they wanted me to gamble in their casino they need to free up my money 😂
Is the flamingo hotel oka .
Hey Sen McQuire, please I need your help for clubs admission if your offer to help still stands. Thanks
You remind me of Gregg Turkington.
Is the MGM Grand a good inexpensive place to stay??
I think so
@Gina Troutman This is a "it depends" question. Sometimes it's reasonable; sometimes its expensive. Dynamic pricing in a way. But play with the MLife website and the offers there and you will see more than one price for the same stay dates. It definitely helps to be a MLife member for this hotel; guaranteed at least a minor discount no matter what level from rack rate.
and to think i was trying to organise a trip to vegas from ireland i guess after this video i wont bother lol sounds to complicated
best pizza is pizza rock next to downtown grand
Planet Hollywood charged me for parking when I was there last May.
As a hotel guest? Or visitor? Self Parking or Valet? They don't have any ticket machines or paystations at the parking garage for the miracle mile shops
I stayed at the Luxor, room was clean and big, downside is the smell of smoke, it was awful!
Most places smell of smoke 🙁
Thanks for the feedback on the Luxor
I've stayed twice, didn't have an issue. Stay in a non smoking room.
you should have complained of the room smelled like smoke. They would have moved you.
Have to dispute your comment about $15 call-in fee...I personally work in call-in reservations for one of your favorite casino/hotels...been there 12 yrs+ and never had a fee of any kind for calling in..plus by calling in and you're nice and just ask, we have empowerments..meaning I can offer level up with better view (costs extra online) and if you want connecting rooms etc. Talking to agent on phone can give these as courtesy many times. :)
@K Edwards I have also found this to be true for the most part, also. And while they many times say we shouldn't do this, they generally will match the online price if it's accurate and you ask them. I do enjoy talking to a real person. :)
Ondori Grill at The Orleans $5 Happy Hour Sushi and Broccoli Beef Chow Mein.
Thanks for the tip Julie!
I booked a week at Tahiti village through Airbnb. Asked the renter if there were any resort fees or deposits. He said there wasn’t. Do you think there will be any hidden fees even though he said there wasn’t
I don't use AirBNB so your guess is as good as mine :)
Yellow Productions thanks for the quick reply.
I saved alot of my on my Vegas trip by not going cause I'm too poor to travel
Haha, same!😂
Magnum condoms like ya videos haha
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I can attest that Caesars Palace buffet is WAY too expensive. It’s good but not worth $55 for breakfast just because it’s a weekend. That’s each plate
Only rich folks go there. We don't belong there.
can i kiss u
The drinks in casino royal are really cheap, a gin and tonic and a beer $7,, other hotels and casinos can be $30-40 🍺👍
Thanks for the tip on Casino Royale!
That's a stretch
the mirage is the best hotel in LV
The Orleans has free parking.
Good thing I live there
Last week cost me $16 to park one hour at Excalibur 12/2021
Ouch
Hi
Can u plz name THE BEST authentic BRAZILIAN(ramkwise) restraunts in vegas n sf?
Texas de Brazil or Pampas at the planet Hollywood

Both equally good??

Best way from airport to hotel
Taxi or Uber
16:20 lmao
Would you stay at golden nugget?
I think golden nugget is decent
How do you get from the airport to the hotel with no rental car
Uber, Lyft, Taxi, Shared ride shuttle, Limo
I see you were there awhile ago. I got on a shuttle and it will take you to any of the major hotels, there is a minimal charge. My parents lived in Vegas so they would pick me up.
I went to time share presentation 8 yrs ago for free tickets and we wasted a whole day with that crap!! Even messed another show we had planned because of it. I believe it took about 6 or 7 hrs they had us there. Everyone was pissed.!
I went to one in vegas for 3 hours. They offer food and 100 gift card. It was okay, the annoying part was them insisting to buy time share. Lol
everyone who does these Vegas suggestion videos discourages this unless you have extra days and are willing to see the LONG presentations. They are ALWAYS longer than they tell you they are and everyone has their own "hard sell". Unless truly interested, it's not worth the second class tickets or stuff they offer.
I think the resort fees are ridiculous. I wish they would just do away with the resort fees and just raise the price of the hotel that way you know what you're paying for when you book it instead of being surprised at the end of booking with resort fees
They sure are!
They do it so they don't have to share the revenue with the third party travel sites so they won't get rid of them unless people stop going. Also they can waive the resort fees for their better customers which is cheaper than comping them a room.
Great video. I really hope to do a video with you someday. You really do your live stream professionally. I am based in Asia. If u are here you really got to hit me up.
Thanks LostXBert.. what part of Asia are you in?
@@YellowProductions I'm in Taiwan making a video now but I have been living in Beijing 8 years off and on. I have traveled a lot though. I just started doing CZcams 1 year ago. I have been watching ur channel for 2 years about. Keep up the great videos man.
I think the toothpaste is haunted because a spirit orb came out of your hairline at 35:53.
A buffet and snacks can cover one full day
Definitely! Or my favorite. A buffet and Earl of Sandwich! :)
Wicked Spoon sucks! I've been several times, it's way over-rated. The last time I went, it was comp, and it still sucked even being free!
What's your favorite buffet?
Chris Roney. YELLOW. MAN
Left of one: act like a local. Since I lived in Vegas briefly, I head to the grocery store or similar to stock up,
How's the Paris Hotel?
Decent
I loved Paris. It has a great pool. And the ambiance.
