  • It's starting to get hot in Vegas and so I thought it would be a fun idea to check out the pool side restaurants on the Las Vegas strip. I've never eaten at a pool side restaurant and I so this would be a fun series to start. Kicking off the series I'm at the Mandalay Bay Beach, one of the most popular pools in Las Vegas. I'm going to their Beach side Bar and Grill and trying a lot of their food because
    Every restaurant is a buffet if you're willing to pay

    Tourist prices for mediocre food. $17 for taquitos that doesn't even include guacamole or salsa. The shame of it all 😂😂. Thanks Shin for the vlog!

    Chin is going to be a superstar when it comes to food reviews , his detailed remarks and reviews about each food item is so precise and informative, he needs to go to other countries and review all the types of food in each country, that will elevate him to the next level and he will compete with the likes of Mark Weins in which my opinion Shin is so much better and more charismatic on camera.

      I thought the same initially, but as I started to look into pool side restaurant menus, I realized we definitely have more options to show than I originally anticipated and Mandalay's Beach Bar and Grill is the most basic I'd say. We're going a little more elevated from here next week! Thanks for watching!

      I think each pool really tries to cater to the people who go. Mandalay is very family focused. The lazy river and wave pool attract a lot of children and so I can understand the menu being more like cafeteria food. Pools that have a more elevated clientele seem to also have matching cuisine. I'm looking froward to showing what these other places could be like. We'll see together. Thanks for watching!

Taquitos look good but my favorite shrimp cocktail. Chicken tenders I love the honey mustard sauce with the chicken! The chicken BLT sounds like just normal. But I would like it. The double cheeseburger my favorite! I love that buns are grilled. Tater tots and fries are great. Hot dog is great bun grilled as well which I like. Love the fruit options orange so good. The southwest wrap looked so good I know I'll like that and the caeser salad!!!! Orange dessert looks very good. Love the southwest wrap and the burger at The Beach Bar and Grill.

    I am back and I picked the right video to come back too. Those prices absolutely scream TOURIST RIP OFF! Lets go to 2:35 Shin got 4 snacks (as they call it there) off the menu: PRICES - Frozen Chicken Tenders and Costco Fries: 21$! Shrimp Cocktail with 4 WHOPPING SHRIMP with HEINZ cocktail sauce : 23$! Loaded Fired with a cheese sauce and bacon 13$ (Probably the best value)! THEN the store bought Taquitos covered in flour then fried again for 17$ (See Mandalay bay you didn't think I would notice that)! NOW Lets add up just the snacks with all food bought from COSTCO: 74$! What a great value seeing the cost to make all of that was around probably 8$! -- Then lets pick out the 32oz drink for 15$! The box of syrup cost around 30$ and that can make over a 100 of those 32oz drinks --> RIP OFF MODE ACTIVATED! Lets go on: 7:53 we have the 19$ Grilled Chicken _ Chik Fil a sandwich. I am sorry they used swiss not American so maybe that is why it costs more. -> 9:21 The BEACH DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER for 21$ that looks no better then a Fast Food burger. --> THEN THE HOTDOG apparently made out of Peruvian lamb for 14$ 10:23. That looks like a Nathans Hot Dog you can buy a pack of 5 at Wal-Mart for like 6$ with some Orange Slices. ( Why would I want orange slices with hot dog???) 0 out 5 stars because it is literally what Disney World wanted to be with food prices but even they could stoop to this level of RIP OFF MODE!

    I think the food there is just okay. They can step it up a notch but I guess with the amount of people they are serving this works for them.

Nothing spectacular but will fill you up at the pool

      I'm curious how poolside prices will be.

    I'm offended by the menu prices. Even with current inflation everything on that menu is more than twice the price of what it should be. This is just another reason for me to not go to Las Vegas, but instead go to my local tribal casinos. The MGM, Caesar's, etc.. organizations on the strip are straight up gouging on food at all their properties. $22 for the standard "Fatburger" at the dirty castle's food court. There's no value per dollar spent. It's just not worth it.

Remember in my original post I pointed out the food court at the Excalibur is charging $22 for a fast food hamburger. It's like this through all the strip complexes. It's not about laziness at these other resorts. The industry on the strip is a functional oligopoly and they are coordinating (IMO) to gouge people up and down the strip. I see no value.
      I can still buy a $7 cheeseburger at one of my local tribal casinos and it's directly comparable to Fatburger as far as quality.
