My wife and I like to travel, especially to Vegas, and when we do, we stay in nice places.

Every video you see on the channel is something we have actually stayed in and paid for ourselves. The exceptions would be if we used a comp thanks to our gambling, or our loyalty points if it is a non gaming hotel. We don't ask for freebies and don't ask if we can just take a quick video of a room and leave.

Hopefully our videos help you in making a good choice on where to stay or not stay.

Any questions about hotels in Vegas? Let me know, probably the expert on rooms/suites in America's most fun city.

    Can you upgrade to the tower suites from the resort side? If so, what was your experience in doing so (prices, etc.)? We are used to getting a parlor from a normal TS room via AMEX but the rates are outrageous for a normal TS room vs. on the resort tower. It’s $1299 for a TS king, and $3500 for a parlor. Vs. ~$700 for a normal room. We only do Encore.

  • @PKPhoenix83

    It's easy to do so if something is available. Bear in mind, the upgrade price will reflect a discount based on the difference between what you booked and what you want. I've gotten Salon Suites over a regular room for $300 per night. Keep in mind, that was on a weekday. This suite was a $2000 a night upgrade.

I was in the real estate industry too so I have that sense. Circa is one of my favorite places period. Next time you are there and if you are at Vegas Vickies, tell Stevan my wife and I said hi. He always treats us well and I'm guessing he would you too. Wish I had the chance to see old Vegas when service was important and nickel and diming wasn't a thing. I've seen the vid of the old MGM Penthouse. While I prefer the Skyloft style (I toured the 3 bedroom as a possibility for our wedding once), I love the history of the older one.

    My man I have lived in Vegas since 1989 and it was a much smaller town then and very easy to get to know and mingle with some important people not like today it’s almost impossible so back then I had a construction company so I actually got to know some very higher up people example one of my best friends stayed in that exact suite and had his very small reception party in that exact suite as well and I have also celebrated New Year’s Eve in that suite as well on (2) different occasions and the only reason I’m actually commenting is to say when Steve Wynn owned the Bellagio that mess on the balcony railing would have never been there because that guy had a demand for excellence and it’s funny because both new years party’s I went to where when he owned the hotel and my buddy’s wedding was there after MGM took over and it was already starting to decline from there so I can only imagine now but oh well just thought as a old timer now I would throw my hat into the ring now but either way thanks for video it’s cool for people that wonder how nice the rooms can get at the top people would be blow away by the Barbara Streisand suite at the MGM Grand it is 3,800 sq ft grand piano pool table snooker table 2story with spiral staircase with a elevator in the middle of the spiral stair case just ridiculous 4master bedrooms with complete workout room and laundry room complete kitchen with a jacuzzi on a 1500 sq ft balcony over looking the strip plus so much more and at MGM the villas with personal lap pools in the back courtyards just crazy so anyway whoever you may be keep posting I appreciate it for bringing back memories and also seeing things I might not know about as well as I’m sure other people do too so thanks

  • @PKPhoenix83

    No we didn't need the extra bedroom. We wanted the Apartment because of the beauty of the suite and the tub with a view and the steam shower. You can't get those things in Salon Suites. We toured one back in 2019 but decided to just keep the Salon instead as "we don't need the second bedroom". Funny enough, I ran into an old friend who later missed her flight and that bedroom could have been useful. Regretted not upgrading ever since. Should have too, the suite was much cheaper then. The Villas you are talking about are the Apartment Villas also known as the Garden Villas. These are true villas, much larger and nicer than the Fairway ones. They come in 2 Bedroom 5 Bathroom and 4 Bedroom, 10 Bathroom configurations. Both have backyards with pools. Generally need a $3 million plus credit line to get one. These days it's more like $5 plus for the large one. There's a chance I might be able to stay in one next year. And no, I don't have a $3 million cl. Wynn owes me a favor lol. Here's a video of the 4 Bedroom. It's old but the villas should still look like this for a few more months. They are being renovated for F1.
