Today we're taking a day trip to the Hoover Dam. The dam is about 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas. We will drive along historic Route 66 and also visit the Grand Canyon (all separate videos on this channel). This video however is all about Hoover Dam, formerly known as Boulder Dam. The dam is considered one of the world's greatest engineering achievements. It's as high as a 70 story building, as wide as two football fields and creates lots of electricity (mostly sent to Los Angeles). After out day trip we return to Las Vegas for more Sin City videos!

Back in downtown Las Vegas, we tour two hotel and casinos in this video, Main Street Station as well as the Grand. both visits are rather short so I combined them here. First we visit Main Street Station Hotel and Casino where I get busted for videoing in the casino which cut that visit short. Then we visit The Grand Hotel and Casino which is rather small and therefore another shorter video.  If you enjoy, please like, comment, ask questions, and most importantly, subscribe!

Las Vegas video tour The Plaza. Lets check out the Plaza Hotel and Casino today in downtown Las Vegas! The place is pretty large for downtown and you can't miss it. Just follow Fremont Street heading west and when you get to the end, the Plaza is right in front of you! The place is a little quirky, but not as quirky as others (see the El Cortez video on this channel). The inside is rather nice and as soon as you walk in, there is a nice food court offering something for everyone no matter what your budget.

Back in downtown Las Vegas, today we are going to check out the Golden Nugget, located directly on Fremont Street. This is a nice hotel and casino that has an uptown feel to it. Of course it's not as big as the 'big boy' hotel and casinos uptown on the Vegas Strip, but it does have an uptown vibe on a much smaller level!

Back in downtown Las Vegas, this morning we will check out the California Hotel and Casino. Located just a block off of Fremont this place is very close to all of the night-time craziness associated with Fremont but just far enough away to get a decent night's sleep! California has a light and airy vibe and has an uptown vibe as you walk through the casino and hotel areas. The decor and restaurants are Hawaiian in theme.

Las Vegas video tour Golden Gate.  We are back in downtown Las Vegas today checking out the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino on Fremont Street. This place pretty much put Las Vegas on the map! Early on it was know as a first class hotel because it had electricity, ventilation and steam heat. The Golden Gate also had the first telephone in Las Vegas (the telephone number was '1'). The Hotel and Casino installed one of the first neon signs on Fremont, thus ushering in the bright lights this town is famous for. The Golden Gate also brought shrimp cocktails to the desert and the appetizer became known as the best around. Recently they celebrated their 25 millionth shrimp cocktail with much fanfare! The Casino also holds the record for the largest roulette bet in Las Vegas. If you enjoy, please like, comment, ask questions, and most importantly, subscribe!

As we continue to tour the hotels and casinos of downtown Las Vegas, today we'll stop into the Fremont Hotel & Casino. This casino is located at an intersection (Casino Center Blvd & Fremont Street) know in Vegas as the four corners. This intersection is home to four iconic older casinos: The Fremont, The Golden Nugget, The Four Queens and Binions Gambling Hall. The Fremont was built in 1956 and at the time, was the tallest building in Nevada! It has expanded over the years and also had the first vertical parking garage in Las Vegas. Wayne Newton got his start here! Some of the movies shot in the Fremont include Swingers, Honey I Blew Up the Kids and Vegas Vacation!

Today we are downtown Las Vegas and we are going to check out the El Cortez Hotel & Casino. The El Cortez the the oldest continually running hotel and casino in Las Vegas! It was built in 1941 and became successful very quickly, so successful that mobster Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel bought the place shortly after opening. As a matter of fact, there is a restaurant here called 'Siegel 1941'. The restaurant describes itself as 'old-school cool with a twist of sophisticated style'. The hotel and casino are definitely dated, but if your looking to be brought back to the early days of modern Vegas, this is the place for you!

Today we check out the D Hotel and Casino located on Fremont Street, Downtown Las Vegas. The D in it's current state, has been around since 2012. Making it one of the newer hotel and casinos on Fremont Street but it is still big on keeping a vintage theme throughout the hotel and casino. The D's colors are red and black and if you don't care for that combination you are out of luck. Every room and suite is decorated in red and black. Need a cocktail? Just look for a server, they will be wearing red and black. If roulette is your game you can bet on red or black (you could bet on both but you would be at the table forever until the dreaded green zero or double zero hits).  By the way, did you know that many casinos uptown now have triple zero roulette? If it's your game I would look at that wheel before you lay your chips down! In this video I also announce the winner of the November/December gift card giveaway!

Today we check out the 4 Queens hotel and casino on Fremont Street, downtown, Las Vegas! Built in 1966, the 4 Queens is considered an oldie but goodie. The original owner Ben Goffstein named the place after his four daughters. If you're looking for a clean place to stay on Fremont, 4 Queens is a good choice. The casino and hotel are beginning to show their age but hey, that just makes it more nostalgic! As with many of the hotels downtown, there is no resort fee which is a huge savings. While there, check out Hugo's Cellar Steak House. The waiters all wear tuxedos and every woman patron receives a long-stemmed rose when entering! Everyone is greeted formally and the menu items are a throwback as well including Beef Wellington and Bananas Foster (prepared at your table). Oh yeah...free chocolate covered strawberries!

Lets head Downtown Las Vegas today and visit Binions Gambling Hall and the Apache Hotel (together, simply known as Binions). Located right on Fremont Street, Binions has quite a history like many hotel and casinos Downtown. It was built by a cement contractor who was working on the Hover Dam and thought a nice place to stay for other Hover Dam contractors would be a good idea. Binons was the first Las Vegas hotel and casino with air conditioning and a fully carpeted casino. It was also the first building in town with an elevator. Binions made poker a mainstream game in casinos around the world. It was also a hangout for Hollywood's elite including Clark Gable, Lucile Ball and many others.

Today we are going to take a short trip on the the Vegas Strip between the Mirage and Treasure Island (now know as the TI). Many hotel and casinos along the Strip are connected via walkways and trams. These connections not only save you a walk to the Strip which could actually be half a mile from the front doors, but they keep you cool in the hot Summer months as well. All of the trams on the west side of the Strip are free. The Las Vegas Monorail which runs on the east side of the Strip is actually municipal transportation and therefore charges a fee. All of the Las Vegas trams, the Monorail and the Deuce bus are covered on other videos on this channel. If you enjoy, please like, comment, ask questions and most importantly subscribe!

When it comes to the Vegas skyline, four structures clearly define this city as Vegas: the Luxor pyramid, the Strat observation tower, Paris' Eiffel Tower and the High Roller observation wheel (all of which are covered on separate videos on this channel). In this video, we will check out the High Roller, the world's tallest observation wheel even taller than the London Eye! Located in the Linq Promenade, the High Roller reaches 550 feet into the sky offering great views of Vegas and the surrounding mountains. The High Roller even offers open bar cars where you pay one price for all you can drink during the wheel's 30 minute rotation. As you will see in the video, the time of day you catch this ride is key to your experience. If you enjoy, please like, comment, ask questions and most importantly subscribe!

Tucked behind the Circus Circus on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip is the Adventuredome a five acre amusement park complete with full-sized thrill rides! There are two coasters El Loco and Canyon Blaster that have inversions and loops (Canyon Blaster is the only indoor coaster with double loops). Lots of places to eat (beer for the adults) and be entertained including some boardwalk type games of chance. If pinball is your thing, there are plenty of machines here as well! The park is under a huge dome but kept at a constant 72 degrees thanks to it's climate control. A great place for adults as well as kids!
