Las Vegas News & Rumor Roundup: Clubs & Pools Open

las vegas news and rumor roundup pools day clubs and nightclubs are all open i'm chris this is yellow productions i do travel guides that are fun informed entertaining this is my quarterly vegas news and rumor roundup and in this video in addition to talking about the clubs and pools opening i'll also be sharing with you uh new hotels that are opening or reopening or opening every day of the week we'll talk about what's going on in restaurants everybody wants to know about what's going on with buffets talking about some of the latest shows that are opening what's going on with sporting events because sporting events are now allowed in las vegas uh and then i've also got some other really cool rumors news and events to talk about after we talk about sports so first let's go ahead and get right into it with what's going on in the world of pools and clubs kind of all mixed in this area because they relate to each other so number one pool that's open it's one of the most popular is the encore beach club at the wind right there the encore beach club it's open on weekends it just opened on march 5th it's one of these day clubs so it's open 11 a.m to 7 p.m but in order to go to this pool club and almost all the pool clubs i'm going to talk about in this video you need to buy a table because these places usually places that were super packed like this is what the encore beach club used to look like before kovid and so needless to say they're not doing that anymore right now which means that they are instead selling tables that you look at these tables right here in the blue area and those are what you can book as kind of like a minimum spend is how they do it so at the encore to get a table or a cabana you need to have a minimum spend of 750 for a table or day bed of four reservations at the encore go up to seven thousand dollars now uh most of these pool clubs would offer general admission when this was the case the encore used to be between 25 and 55 dollars if you won like a bypass the line ticket it was 90 but they're not doing general admission because they're not doing this anymore everybody has to stay in their spot and just so you know if you do go to the pool uh you do have to wear a mask when you're not in the water currently okay next up we have the uh lounge at the wind so excess is a nightclub at the wind and they're operating as a lounge what does it mean to be a lounge well to be a loud it means they don't have a dance floor so no dancing and same deal the lounge you need to reserve a table xs is open friday and saturday night time 10 30 p.m is when it opens uh the tables are 750 minimum so same price as the pool club uh usually the table seats six now they see two so that one's a little more expensive uh and but remember that's 750 that's not like i mean you spend it but then you kind of like redeem it for credits that you then buy for your probably slightly overpriced bottle service next up we've got the cosmopolitan hotel the cosmopolitan has reopened their marquee pool this is a neat pool that overlooks the strip it's open friday saturday and sunday as well 11 a.m to sunset a bit cheaper here the day beds that you see there with those pillows on them they can seat up to four people and so the day beds are four sorry the day beds for six uh start at four hundred dollars which includes free juice and soda so that's a bonus of the cosmopolitan uh it goes up to three thousand dollars for a grand cabana now also the cosmopolitan they've got their uh nightclub they call it marquis at night just kind of in from the pool uh that's fridays and saturdays uh 10 p.m to late uh tables there same thing as at the excess lounge you have to get a table they start at 600 now if we head over to the mandalay bay mandalay bay has opened its daylight beach club this is not the main pool at the mandalay bay with the wave pool and stuff this is kind of uh over near the entrance to the four seasons they're not taking reservations uh it's first come first serve so you don't actually have to reserve a table to go into uh daylight um but uh this is the smaller section if you're like a guest of the mandalay bay or all of these hotels generally have their hotel pool that are still open to guests uh these that we're talking about here kind of like the club versions of the pools mandalay bay they have also opened reopened the foundation room which is their nightclub on the top of the mandalay bay that's run by house of blues the foundation room is open wednesday to sunday you have to reserve a table is there that starts at six hundred dollars um over at oh and this was just a map to show you uh where the daylight club is right there right there in the corner that's the daylight beach club uh and then you can see the size of that in relation to the rest of the mandalay pool which you know has a lot of kids is overrun if you're looking for something that is much more full service luxurious where people pamper you all day it's definitely these uh these ultra pools or the pool clubs okay at mgm grand they are reopening uh their pool club called wet republic it's another daytime pool open friday to sunday cheaper there the day beds start at 350 for six people and you know as you see in the picture right here right masks are required they're giving you the full mask thing and they got the bottles because that's what they expect you uh that's what they expect you to buy um hyun wu says i could barely see that daylight club yes because on the map it is pretty small compared to the big size of the pool okay next up we've got the nightclub at caesar's palace caesar's palace's nightclub is called omnia they have reopened the omnia nightclub terrace this is actually a pretty neat venue because it's another one that's up on like the second or third floor of caesar's palace it overlooks the strip we could make that bigger and so you get strip views from this terrace it's an all outdoor venue they're also requiring admissions here fridays and saturday nights uh 500 for a strip view table for six out of these nightclubs if i was gonna go to one i would probably go to this one because it has the strip view and it's outside but socal seth does point out good lord that's a lot of money that is a lot of money as chris rock would say um travel adventures wants to know uh if there's any notice about hilton grand vacations i don't know they weren't on my list of places that i saw that opened them on march 5th but all of these did open liz says is it warm enough for pools right now in vegas the pools are heated is the temperature super warm in vegas it is not right now i would say april is probably a good time for it to be warm wutai says i remember being kicked out of caesar's palace for filming memories oh those are such a comforting memory uh all right so speaking of hotel pools the one hotel that did announce that their main hotel pool opened this past weekend is uh at the strat which uh used to be called the stratosphere they've re-branded their pool it is called wet 24 now it's on the 24th floor this one's not a pool club this is just the one that's open to all guests of the stratosphere hotel so that is now available to you opening on march 12th at the aria is the liquid pool this is another weekend day pool the little tables for six here uh start at 350 dollars uh and kathy says 210 000 subscribers well done chris well thank you kathy uh and thank you recent subscribers who uh brought us up to 210k uh it's always great to hang out with y'all uh spend time on these live streams uh whoop okay so um now i want to move over to hotel so those are all the pool openings uh and i do want to point out one more thing about pools before i move into hotels hotel openings hotel reopenings which is that these pool clubs that i talked about most of them need reservations if you're staying at a hotel that doesn't have a pool club and you want to go to that hotel's pool i would highly recommend that you make a reservation for your hotel's pool as well pools have been really busy they've been really popular they're outdoors they seem socially distant d and they've been keeping the people limits down in them to avoid crowding so if you plan to go to your hotel pool make a reservation so you don't end up getting there and having the staff say yeah it's all full come back in four hours where you're like it might be cold i don't know that i want to i don't know that i want to do that anymore um and uh there was a question of uh learbag saying is the pool at mgm grand signature open as of right now as of right now the pool is open at the mgm grand and zachary says give a thumbs up if you love vegas updates if you're enjoying this video yes please give me a thumbs up i appreciate it and it really helps with the youtube algorithm to let youtube know that you love it so they should share this video with more people okay so on to hotel reopenings you know vegas has had really um limited midweek traffic midweek's been really dead in vegas lots of hotels have been closed midweek but midweek traffic is now picking up once again uh and so here at the mandalay bay they've got a little thing on the pool that says welcome back because the mandalay bay is now open midweek again mandalay bay park mgm and the mirage are back to 24 7 operation because people are coming back mid week now in the hotels being sold news the venetian and the palazzo have been sold they were sold for 6.25 billion dollars they were previously owned by the las vegas sands corporation as their only hotel on the strip las vegas sands has decided to focus on asia particularly their holdings in macau and singapore so they sold the venetian las vegas sands did not think that the convention business that they've made most of their money on was going to come back anytime soon and this was purchased by two companies apollo global management purchased the hotel and then vici properties purchased the land and this is fairly common in las vegas where one company owns the land another company owns the hotel and the brand and all those things what's going to change at the venetian probably not much i've seen a lot of stories about oh the venetians gone this and that you know they're not they're not going to end a moneymaker so i think the venetian that we all know and love will likely continue new hotel opening up resorts world still on schedule to open this summer but one of the rumors is that resorts world is considering opening smoke free that's been a trend in vegas recently park mgm went smoke-free so will resorts world open smoke-free hard to say as of now but something they are considering now it is confirmed that celine dion is going to be taking up residency at resorts world she was scheduled originally to start her residency in 2021 but due to the pandemic she had to shift some of her other shows so celine dion will not be taking up her new las vegas residency at resorts world until 2022 another new hotel opening in vegas is the virgin hotel the virgin hotel opens in just a couple weeks here the virgin hotel is opening on march 25th and what's exciting about the virgin hotel this used to be the former hard rock hotel the virgin hotels come out and said they will open with no resort fees zero resort fees in what they call their no nickel and diming policy prices in the rooms are also going to include free wi-fi as every hotel should and mini bars with street priced items that's pretty refreshing so hopefully no you know 20 bottles of dasani water in those mini bars i'm thirsty what am i drinking today today i'm drinking a blueberry mountain rock tea from hnt what's hnt it's this tea shop called healthy natural tea and so there's a combination of real fruit there's strawberry in it that's why it's got this thick straw and this kind of roasted oolong tea pretty sweet and pretty tasty um now uh the opposite of the virgin hotel is uh some of the caesars hotels uh they're not doing away with their resort fees they're actually increasing their resort fees um resort fees at paris planet hollywood and the cromwell are all uh increasing pearson planet hollywood they are now uh 39 dollars per night if you include tax because resort fees are taxed 44.21 the cromwell's resort fee is up to forty five dollars or fifty one dollars and two cents uh vegas visual points out that virgin hotels will also include free parking that is pretty exciting and that's good since a lot of hotels are charging for parking now i will point out virgin hotel does have kind of an interesting policy on their website which states that um they do not allow outside food or drink into their hotel because they point their street price minibars uh and i saw a big debate of this online on twitter recently and people say like actually other hotels in vegas like the wynn have policies against outside food is generally not enforced but they don't want people to have like kegger parties in their room where they cater you know 400 pizzas and a whole bunch of beer kegs i think if you're bringing in your uh you know water from cvs i don't think the people are going to hassle you at the virgin hotel though i could be wrong you know it'll be interesting to see if that's actually the case or not now a lot of people ask about buffets chris what is going on with buffets uh on the strip there is currently one buffet that is open that buffet that is open you could call it the strip it's barely the strip uh it is the south point hotel uh all the way at the south end of las vegas boulevard they're the currently the only uh really buffet operating in a casino hotel in las vegas but uh it's caesar's uh entertainment um which oh runs some of the strips best buffets particularly at caesar's palace the ceo of caesars in a earnings call recently said when asked about are they going to be reopening buffets he said we're going to be smarter about how we are in the food and beverage business remarking that the company wasn't going to lose three million dollars on every buffet at his properties and so actually buffets in vegas are are lost leaders they don't earn the casinos money they actually lose money on the buffets and so um i think it's going to be a little while before we see those buffets come back because they actually want to make sure there's customers for them to lure before they open them back and just like we saw the hotels kind of open in phases i think we're going to see the buffets open in phases you know the popular ones first and then the other ones uh later carlos says rest in peace las vegas buffets i think they'll be back just not all at once it'll just be a little bit of a while dave for one says i love resort fees please keep them well dave i hope i hope they keep them just for you at some hotels but for me when they hear chris is coming i um i hope they i hope they don't um and uh farrell agrees the resort fees are a ripoff they are a ripoff i agree uh connor says do i know if gyms are open in the strip hotels you know this is one that i think is hit or miss depending upon the hotel uh and i haven't been to all the strip hotels to know whether they're open or closed but my experience staying in other hotels has been hit or miss that they've been open or closed per las vegas gyms can be open so it's not a state regulation that would be keeping the gyms closed it would just be the the property that would decide to uh keep themselves closed uh eleanor wants to know if strip clubs are open strip clubs are not open uh they are closed through at least may because the state is continuing to enforce covid restrictions through may and then starting in may they're turning over restriction enforcing to the counties and jeremy wants to know if the buses are running on the strip yes the buses are running the monorail is still not running now uh another opening that we've talked about that was pending maybe this and that the pinball hall of fame museum which many of you know is one of my favorites in my las vegas what's new in 2021 video i said they are uh building a new location on the strip but they were running out of money well the good news is the pinball hall of fame recently got a donation for 79 000 to fund the final construction and finish uh the pinball hall of fame on the las vegas strip they're planning to open that location in may so if you're going to vegas after may definitely check out that pinball hall of fame on the strip it'll be across from mandalay bay on that south section of the real strip okay let's talk about shows now uh and sporting events but first we'll start with shows and then we'll talk about sporting events so great news is that shows are returning to las vegas uh and in particular they're returning because one of the covid rules has been what they call the the performer moat uh meaning that the pandemic restriction was that there had to be 25 feet between the performers on stage and people in the audience well they've uh done away with that restriction as of just a couple days ago uh and so now it's uh six feet from performers wearing masks or 12 feet from performers not wearing masks uh so one of the shows that's reopening coming here on march 17th is absinthe at caesar's palace david copperfield is coming back on march 21st at mgm grand also currently open carrot top pif the magic dragon tape face the fantasy topless show mj live thunder from down under x burlesque and the jabbawockeez so about 10 shows that are currently open but many more are planning to open uh rumor rumor is that cirque du soleil is planning to reopen their shows at a rate of approximately one per month with the first one they're rumored to be reopening is oh so if you like cirque du soleil good news they plan to come back uh there have been you know a lot of room i mean cirque du soleil declared bankruptcy because they couldn't host all their shows but they've they're you know they're back again and uh they will be ready to uh rock now another rumor rumor mill uh is that hamilton uh may be opening uh on the las vegas strip coming to a las vegas strip hotel near you okay let's talk about sports now uh sporting events are now allowed to have attendees in las vegas this is pretty huge for a lot of people uh the first real sporting event that's hosting fans is the national hockey league golden knights that play at the t-mobile arena which is right in between the uh new york new york and the park mgm and they're allowed to restart with 15 percent capacity which means uh 2 600 people per game at their arena now some restrictions if you are planning to go to a golden knights game they are not allowing bags inside of any kind which includes small purses or clutches no bags and when people leave the stadium they will dismiss the stadium by groups so this section this section this section and you'll have to stay in your section group including using the restrooms and then they're going to require guests to use what's called the clear app in order to answer some health questions and clear their health about it i expect this clear app is going to be something that we're going to see at a lot more las vegas um places like conventions and nightclubs so if you haven't heard of clear i thought i would just play a little 90 second video about clear this is not a sponsored video by clear or anything like that i just think it's something you should be aware of likely being rolled out in more places and then just as a side note many people often when i talk about vaccine status and tests they're like chris how dare you promulgate these things i hate these things look i i don't i don't love them either but i'm i'm sharing the news for you of what it's going to take to get into the nhl stadium so i'll be back in 90 seconds clear healthpass offers

you all would want to know about this thing that is coming to vegas and what you'll have to do if you go to these events so anybody who said chris uh why are you playing ads again not an ad but to be aware that those are the hoops you're going to have to go through when you go to these sorts of events including an nhl game so plan to download the clear health pass app upload your picture answer some questions that's what you've got coming ahead for you okay um so next up we have allegiant stadium the home of the raiders uh they're not hosting fans right now because the super bowl's over there's no football uh playing there but the legion stadium has officially started tours of the stadium allegiant stadium is starting their tours with season ticket holders uh the ticket prices are 59 for a walk through or eighty dollars that comes with a drink and view package the tours around 75 minutes include private suites club spaces the broadcast booth the press conference room locker rooms and the al davis memorial torch and some on field access so if you're looking for a tour of allegiant stadium and you're a seasoned pass holder open you right now if you're not well then stay tuned because it'll be open to the public uh soon okay now another sporting news is that at mandalay bay where they often host a lot of uh like boxing matches things like that their mandalay bay events center as what has been called is now being named the michelob ultra arena so if you hear about the mklobe ultra arena and you're like where is that that is at uh the mandalay bay uh also about shows uh so there's a new york city-based theater company called soho playhouse and they are planning to bring off-broadway to downtown las vegas they've got plans for four new theater spaces in the arts district uh project estimated at 20 million dollars they plan for a cabaret space a 99-seat theater a black box theater and a 299 seat broadway off-broadway style theater and now you're saying chris this is a strange thing to open in a pandemic well they are focusing on being up and running by 2022 or 2023 once the pandemic is hopefully all well and done and they've not decided yet whether it'll be all in one building or in four different buildings that's part of what they're looking into but that should be interesting as a way to see more shows come through vegas because you know opening at the casinos you only get shows that are going to run for a long time i mentioned hamilton might be coming to one of those i saw monty python spam a lot when it was in las vegas but whenever the um casinos do broadway shows they always kind of like make them smaller or shorter so it'll be neat to have a place that has like some real off-broadway shows um and that okay so uh now that we're done talking about shows and sports let's talk about some of the other interesting news around las vegas uh first one the airport is in the process of being renamed renamed this is not a done deal but the proposal is to rename mccarran international airport to the harry reid international airport now who are these people well mccarran that the airport is currently named after he was a senator for vegas nevada he was author of the 1938 civil aeronautics act which established the federal government's role in overseeing aviation who's harry reid harry reid is also a former center of nevada he served as the senator for 30 years and was also the former democratic uh senate majority leader i say that this is in process because it was like voted on by uh the like the government but it hasn't been approved by the faa and it's actually still fairly controversial and so people are floating petitions to to not rename it the harry reid uh airport so um i don't know when you go it might just be called las vegas international airport and maybe not even have a name hard to say at this point in the world of closings the greyhound downtown las vegas station is now closed single tier actually it's moved the greyhound las vegas station it used to be right next to the plaza hotel if you're taking a greyhound into las vegas you'll be taking it into the new terminal which is near las vegas uh airport and uh the final news item that i want to share uh is that it's true las vegas is officially the ninth island the what what do you chris ninth island of what the ninth island of hawaii i've had this question a lot from my viewers in hawaii that say chris is it true that las vegas is the ninth island and uh as reported by uh kehan news which is a new station out of honolulu hawaii and looking at data from the u.s census bureau people from honolulu hawaii moved to las vegas more than any other metropolitan area in the u.s there's a ton of people of hawaiian descent in las vegas and you can look at the abc stores which are a chain of hawaiian convenience stores that have their only mainland us location in las vegas zippy's a big fast food cheap each chain in hawaii is planning to open its first mainland locations in las vegas but if you say well chris like why is it or why are all these hawaiians there well it started with what's called the california hotel uh also known as the cal in downtown las vegas it was opened by somebody who lived in hawaii and it didn't do so well with the locals or the regular tourists and so he started marketing his flights and hotel to people in hawaii and offering like nine dollar flights to las vegas if they stayed at the california hotel for five days and that's how las vegas became really popular with hawaiians was the marketing from the california hotel and so if you're looking for good hawaiian food in las vegas you can check it out the california or a lot of other places in downtown las vegas have opened up around there to serve the local hawaiian community but if you're going to the california hotel you'll find their cafe some items like oxtail soup simon and butter fish fellow explorers it is now q a time if you've got a question i've got an answer all right it is now time for the q a if you have asked a question and i haven't answered it yet go ahead and hit me up again because there have been a lot of comments and it's hard to keep up with everything so hutai says we need a nice nine dollar flight now we do need those nine dollar flights again um brad says i love that about downtown las vegas the good hawaiian food dave says we should call um maybe the airport we should name it after elvis that'd be cool or you could call it the kings international airport um and uh carol says i'm from hawaii no one says k han it's spelled out k-h-o-n thanks for the ninth island update i call it k-han i i like it so yes i i get that maybe people in hawaii always spell it out but this is just like uh zion like zion as a um uh canyon in utah the national park you know everybody in the rest of the world calls it zion and the people who live there because they chris is not zion it's zhiyun i'm like no all right nobody else knows that except the people who live there ryan says what's my favorite personal hotel in vegas my favorite is the venetian christine says are the rides at the strat open yet i don't know at the top of my head i'm sure if you went to their website it would probably tell you i've not heard i know the roller coaster of new york new york is i don't know about the strat um hyun-woo says what's your favorite restaurant cuisine in las vegas that's a great question i'm going to punt that question to next week where if everything goes as planned next week's live stream will be about the best food in vegas and i will have special guests bill and lisa from bill and lisa's travel and food adventures channel on youtube zachary says should i bet on red or black always black vegas wants to know if there's a hotel called nevada in california that is big with hawaiians i don't know maybe vegas visual it's kind of funny to name a hotel california that then markets to hawaiians larry wants to know will all las vegas pools be open i think at this time of year you will see most las vegas pools be open chelsea says i spent 40 on one drink at a vegas pool party our drink's always that expensive in vegas at pools they are always that expensive pools nightclubs they're ridiculously expensive you know the right the best tip if you want to get something to drink you know go go off the strip don't go to the strip hotels kirk wants to know if i'm going to get a tesla probably not uh i drive a lexus nx as my primary driver my yellow car is alexis is 300 but that's not a great baby mobile the nx is the better one for our traveling princess liz wants to know if the carnival games are open at the circus circus i've not been there recently to check but i would think so um pyotr says do you need a car to visit the hoover dam for a day yeah there are tours that'll go there too but it's i think best to have a car i don't think there's any good public transportation to get you there nightwolf wants to know if i fly first class sometimes if i get upgraded to first class i generally don't pay for first class tickets though because they're really expensive james wants to know if i get a kickback i don't get a kickback from nobody about nothing on this video i really like the venetian because i like the theming best in it uh i also really like the win and the encore uh if you want to know my favorites without casinos i really like um what used to be the mandarin oriental it's now the waldorf astoria and then the one i recommend for budget conscious travelers is the uh marriott grand chateau uh the wu-tang life wants to know what are the biggest scams in vegas i got a video all about that if you search for las vegas scams uh you will find it um anthony wants to know how's california doing with all of its restrictions definitely restricted i think we live in the most restricted place here in the u.s so it's but good news in

might be uh what in a couple months um hand related to first class l.a to vegas it's only 45 minutes i usually drive from orange county to vegas because you can do it in like four or five hours depending upon traffic assuming it's good if i fly i take southwest and there's no first class on southwest um christine wants to know if i play slots or table games i play slots i like the mini games on slots um i like it to be mindless i know i'm not going to win a ton of money anyway jeremy wants to know circa circus or dumpster it depends whether you mean the manor rooms or the tower rooms the tower rooms will be better than the dumpster the dumpster a clean dumpster would probably be better than the manor rooms tony says chris your video on american myths last week was brilliant very funny at times tony i appreciate it thanks for the kind words and the two thumbs up uh pyotr wants to know do i ever stay downtown or always on the strip i always stay on the strip or off the strip but never downtown usually around the strip booba wants to know if the timeshare barkers are still in the strip hotels of course they are they make a lot of money in timeshares rick wants to know better properties mgm or caesars i like the mgm properties better than the caesar's properties in case you didn't hear me what i'm drinking when i mentioned it earlier this is a blueberry mountain rock tea i might have said strawberry before but it's blueberries with a roasted oolong tea from this place called healthy natural tea pretty good and probably uh healthy says i don't seem to like camp i don't i don't like camping really at all no i i like nice hotels uh kirk says what's going on with the bullet train that's supposed to go from los angeles to vega on again off again i think right now it's it's off again because i think they didn't get one of their bonds um that was the last i heard on the train i don't know when that's ever going to be there christine asked if i think a day trip to catalina island island's worth it if you're limited on time in the la area if you were in the la area for like two weeks then i would say take a day trip to catalina if you're in l.a for a week i would say it's not worth your time kirk says he stayed at the main rooms of circus circus and survived and you know now you have a story probably to tell about it too kevin says are a lot of wedding chapels open in vegas there's always people wanting to get married in vegas and so i'm sure you will find plenty of wedding chapels open particularly if you want to get married by elvis right where else in the world could you get married by elvis the only buffet that's open on the strip uh is the south point hotel that is it uh pyotr says best pools in vegas uh the mandalay bay i think has one of the biggest and best pools um i like caesar's palace too i like the whole like roman theme as part of caesar's palace so those are my two favorite ones christine loves the videos thank you christine i appreciate it kyle says hell's kitchen worth it i don't i chris don't think any of the celebrity chef restaurants are worth it from a strictly price to value ratio if you're a big fan of that celebrity chef then people like them because of the experience but value for the food that you get likely not um let's see brad says no super chats i've not turned on super chats because i want everybody to know they're equally loved uh brad i appreciate you asking if you're enjoying what you're seeing here today give me a thumbs up i would really appreciate it um kirk says i should do a video on the valley of fire and i know you asked earlier kirk if i've been there i have not been there yet um but he wants to know what's my favorite mcdonald's item when i go to mcdonald's i generally get a big mac french fries iced tea and that's usually not enough to fill me because the big mac is small so then i typically also get a double cheeseburger so my burger of choice at uh mcdonald's is a big mac and a double cheeseburger i also like the quarter pounder those are my favorite uh things uh bean app wants to know if i've ever eaten a sinatra's i have not um the wu-tang life asks the cheapest place to drink on the strip yeah like happy hour at the flamingo they offer like it's really cheap it's like beers for a couple dollars if you watch my video on the cheapest eats on the las vegas strip i go into uh the cheapest place to drink give you the specifics of that one bug strong uh says shout outs to everyone's favorite topher yes shout out to everyone's favorite topher whichever one that may be um new york says what's the best free attractions bellagio fountains volcano flamingo habitat i think the mirage volcano is the most epic uh you know the f everybody loves the bellagio fountains it's cool it's a big fountain there's big fountains another place in the world you know disneyland has a big fountain show that's really better than the bellagio the world of color show at disney california adventure uh but the mirage volcano that's that's just epic it's loud it's amazing and how often do you get to see like a volcano erupt even though it's it's fake uh and uh pyotr says did i did i put this one up already i just thank you piotr i appreciate the kind words kevin wants to know what are my thoughts on the wind i like the wind but if you're thinking about staying there you know the wind's a little stuffy if you're looking for stuffy and away from like the hustle and bustle of the strip then it's a cool place but i don't feel like wind is where like the action is like i feel like wind feels a little bit removed from the action although i think that's the the vibe they are going for castle wants to know what's the most romantic hotel in vegas if you're okay with the fact that the paris is a little tired because it is it's been there for a while i think the paris um with this whole kind of parisian theme is pretty romantic um jill points out a great place for cheap drinks is the ellis island hotel casino it's a couple blocks off the strip uh but like less than a ten dollar uber ride to go there um kirk wants to know if they offer foot long hot dogs for a dollar anymore not on the strip the south point hotel has like the cheapest hot dogs i think they're like a dollar fifty maybe um kirk wants to know if there's stinky tofu in vegas i bet we could find some in chinatown uh but i've not eaten any alex wants to know if i should do a i should do a live stream with jacob's life in vegas alex he is on my list of people to reach out to at some point um and joe is leaving for vegas on thursday staying at harrah's remodel room is pretty nice excellent joe i hope you enjoy heras kirk wants to know if i like the traveling princess to eden mcdonald's the traveling princess has not yet eaten at mcdonald's she has eaten the in-n-out burger and by that she's eating the french fries there my goal is to keep her in and out and less at mcdonald's i know she'll definitely want the happy meals at some point but we're just we're just not starting that uh anytime real soon dusto hotels for families i think for families a lot of the extended ho the extended stay hotels are good the residence inns the homewood suites those sort of things we get a bit of a bigger room um so i would look at those just a little bit off the strip um vegas visual wants to know if the boring companies expanded beyond the encore line yeah i think they're still um like i think they've had those two they've got like resorts world and the encore that they're building right now i don't think they've gotten approval to do everything yet i know they want to but i don't think we've seen them starting construction on that yet let's see uh and eric points out that the rides of the strat are open because jacob jacob the carpetbagger uh showed people writing it thank you for that eric i appreciate it i appreciate this is the one thing it's like you know one person cannot know everything and so that's what i love about hanging out with all of you is i often learn things on these live streams myself naj says big kiss to the little explorer she is so cute thank you naj i will pass the kiss on um nightwolf wants to know i've ever been in burning man i have never been to burning man that sounds a little bit too much rough in it to me knowing that i don't i don't like camping uh grant wants to know when i think international travel will be back depends what you mean by back i think we're gonna see a lot of these like the vaccine passport concept uh to like restart international travel where you gotta like show you've been vaccinated or things like that i think we'll see that starting to come back this summer for countries saying like hey if you've been fully vaccinated you've gotten your two shots come on in you know probably full international travel like the way it would come on in we're open you know probably not till uh probably not till 2022. um the wu-tang clan says where can you get free parking on the strip uh my favorite place free parking is the venetian they got a lot of good free parking uh the planet hollywood has good free parking as well uh bnap often know if i've been in the neon museum i have never been to the neon museum every time i think i want to go it's booked or the tickets are sold out it's on my list of places that i do want to go um piotr wants to know what's now the oldest hotel in the strip i don't have all the dates memorized uh so that's that's hard for me to say off the top of my head circa circus seems like it's pretty old um kirk s if i've seen the hawaii airfare it's like 150 round trip yes we actually booked some tickets from lax to oahu for like a hundred and ninety dollars so pretty cheap for direct flights to hawaii and so that's an answer to terry's question where are we going next on vacation we are going to the fabulous island of oahu in hawaii we're not going to the ninth island and i guess we're going to the the first island or the capital of hawaii jeff wants to know if i notice uber and lyft being more expensive in vegas i generally don't take uber lyft in vegas because i generally drive from california so i don't spend a lot of time ubering or lifting it around vegas wants to know any rumors on wind developing the vacant lot across the street yet i've not heard any um ryan says the oldest uh might be the flamingo the flamingo is pretty old too uh chris wants to know if treasure island still does the pirate show unfortunately not the pirate show is long gone at the treasure island they still have the two ships but they don't go anywhere um and carlos busts out the knowledge and says it's the flamingo hotel because they opened in 1946 thank you for that um ethan wants to know if i've been to the pinball hall of fame the current pinball hall of fame i love it i try to visit it almost every time but i have not been to the new one because it's not open yet vic wants to know if i've ever been on an ocean cruise we did a one-day cruise from sweden to norway that was i guess that's an ocean cruise oh see girl kind of gets seasick so we don't do a lot of cruises new york says our thoughts on the northern area of the strip sahara strat seems like this area is starting to reinvent itself i think that part of the strip will get better when resorts world opens because you know like right now you get to the fashion island shops and the the win and you're like it's pretty dead after there that the only thing i walk past that for is tacos el gordo and so i think when resorts world opens and revitalizes that i think we'll see more people walking in that direction again when the monorail is running then i think the sahara is a pretty good place to stay because you could hop on the monorail and get to the rest of the strip pretty easily it's pretty unappealing i think when the monorail is not running peony wants to know why my favorite color is yellow instead of blue red or orange i like yellow pewter i answer that question in my frequently asked questions video short answer i got into an accident when i was 16 with a drunk driver i needed to get my car repainted after it was fixed having gotten to an accident with a drunk driver i should say the drunk driver got into an accident with me because they ran into my car i went to the paint shop and i looked up at the board and i said what is a color somebody will see me in i saw yellow and i had to paint my car yellow and that's where everything from yellow productions and yellow being my uh favorite color comes from uh kirk well i don't know if i visited the biggest souvenir shop in vegas which is on this part of the strip we've just been talking about near the straw i have visited it i haven't bought anything from it but it's interesting just to go into this huge classic uh souvenir shop uh bnap uh also loves tacos el gordo been to them in san diego and the alpa store is money the apple store is money they don't know al pastor it's uh basically some marinated pork that rotates kind of like gyros style that they kind of you know shave off with like a sword sort of thing and put in your taco it is pretty good so if you want to know when we're going to hawaii we are going to hawaii this summer uh big euro says uh does vegas smell like skunk do you mean there's people smoking the ganja the weed things like that yeah there's a lot of people on the strip uh you will smell their smoking when you walk by adventure mate can't wait to stay at the nomad again and dine in italy eataly has really good eats anybody coming to los angeles you should also visit italy in l.a there's one in century city that i think is better than the one in las vegas the vegas uh italy is pretty small um rob wants to know what's the origin of topher give him a fist bump fist bump topher uh topher the original topher oh osi girl and i bought at the san diego zoo san diego zoo is famous for his pandas we bought him there we sort of joked that he was my brother who was a panda i'm chris he's topher together we make christopher and he just began traveling with us because we thought it would be fun when we make our videos to have a you know panda host oc girl doesn't like to be in front of the camera so that was her way to voice a character into the video so if you're watching the videos and you're like why does chris have this super girlish voice when he voices the panda hits because that that is a girl's voice that's oh see girl's voice tim cook wants to know if i have any vegas tattoos i do not have any vegas i don't have any tattoos period so no vegas tattoos my tube wants to know what's my favorite donut uh my favorite donut is an apple fritter uh and um you know in particular like there's good apple fritters bad apple fritters good apple fritters or ones that have a lot of apples in them so i like apple fritters um ethan also points out there's an italy in dallas texas uh jeff's ass if pink's hot dogs is open hollywood pings hot dogs reopened about two weeks ago in hollywood so if you're looking for that hot dog which
