Welcome to MtM #Vegas your source for the latest Las Vegas tips, #news and reviews! This week we debrief New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. How did things go for New Year’s Eve on the #Strip and on Fremont Street? The crowds were a little bit surprising for sure!
I’ll also show how I used American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts to essentially get paid to stay at Delano. I paid $70 out the door for a suite plus $160 in dining credits. Smoking deal!
We also talk the Las Vegas November, 2020 visitor numbers which were down quite a bit plus the only open casino buffet on the Strip closes again. We’ll also talk 2021 Las Vegas predictions including which properties may close or be sold and why I think the north end of the Strip is where the future is.

Can a resort credit be used for resort fees?
Thank you to our hosts Shawn and Mark. Your kids lasted longer than I did on NY Eve. I’m older snd need my sleep. Ha!
monte carlo had wave pool
Happy New Year Guys !!!
Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
I predict Wayne Newton makes a comeback and Carrot Top will be reduced to headline at the D….lol
Thumbs up. Always good content.
The most expensive room in Vegas is a free room.
The Monte did have a wave pool it was small but it was great and I think the casino layout was better but I do love the park
I’m staying at Delano next month for 2 weeks. I usually stay at VDARA but I’m on a budget. Cant wait for that to drop

2021 prediction: New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl.
I can't wait to go to Las Vegas the end of January I love going to Red Rock Canyon. I did like walking on the strip but when crime went up forget..
there's 2 sides, those who simply take at face value the main stream media, then there's those who believe they 'predict a super spreader event'!… (this doesn't necessarily mean recent NYE event)…believe all of what you hear or believe they predict a future event and send out spritzers to infect the crowd ….which one is true (because in my area of around 30k and rural, not one person has got sick and died)?
Thanks again Shawn & Mark! Great video!
The Tram is closed right now? I plan to go to Vegas on February and plan to stay in Mandalay Bay. That is a lot of walking if the tram is close.
Nothing wrong with the price of the Garden Buffet. I’m surprised.
We have here in Miami Gardens (FL) a Hard Rock casino -resort. The timing is real bad for the new“guitar” tower of rooms addition because of Covid. And, BTW, NCAA football championship game is being played there on Monday night.
In Luxor, Public House is by the Escalator? That used to be Inner Space, a Egyptian art and jewelry gift shop. I used to do Psychic readings there for years
They moved the Michael Jackson statue at Mandalay Bay! Do you know what happened to it?
Guys, I lived in Vegas for ten years and you keep me updated in a down to earth way. I miss living there. My comments and predictions, for what they're worth:
Lottery – Lotteries are not really allowed by Nevada's constitution except for charitable organizations, so an amendment would be needed. I think the casino industry would fight that very strongly, even though lottery players and casino players are generally not the same demographic
Sports Betting – I predict in this year and the next we'll see much more exuberant investment in everything sports betting-related. Look at Circa's spend. Many operators will overspend on facilities for casino-based sports bettors until they fully realize the bottom line profit generated by sports bettors is very low. 2022-2023 the casino space and $$'s devoted to sports betting will shrink again
Vegas overall
– Second half revenue growth YOY will explode and will also be considerably higher than the same period in 2019. I think there is considerable pent up demand and the LVCVA will mount an all out marketing blitz. Buffets will be crazy busy
– Shawn I completely agree that new operators are needed and Caesars and MGM were able to grab too much
Thank you and keep up the good work
South Point Buffett is open and staff served.
Good to see the Rio got a mention again!!! 😂 The Delano hotel looks nice and a must visit next time!! 🇬🇧
I can’t wait for Resorts world to open, looks awesome! Thx for the vid guys…👍🏻
DELANO…. Warren Delano was one of the worlds greatest drug runners.
Delano made a fortune running Opium into China in the 1800s during the so called "Opium Wars".
His grandson Franklin Delano Roosevelt used that drug money to go into politics,
so some people refer to former president FDR as Franklin "Drug Money" Roosevelt.
The grandson of a drug runner becomes president of the USA. (Never mentioned by the US national news media.)
Monte Carlo did have a wave pool. I’m an old gal and I enjoyed the wave pool!
Yes Monte Carlo had a lazy river
Hi Shawn and Mark! Great info. Thank you! CAB😊
The Monte Carlo did have a small wave pool and a lazy river! ☀️
700 sq suite….. but still not as nice or big as Plazzo standard rooms…it sounds like you are really starting to get too many kickbacks from these resorts to give an honest opinion of the properties… too bad because you used to actually give your true opinion of the property but now it seems to be up for sale / trade for perks 😩. The End of another utuber due to greed / bribery…. 😤
The MC had a wave pool and paper clip style lazy river. The lazy river was a joke
I loved Delano. Glad they seemed to have straightened out credit issues with any restaurant.
Oh yeah, I like your plug for the buffet at South Point. I know it doesn't have everything that a mega buffet like the Bellagio's has, but considering the price, I think South Point's is the best buffet in Las Vegas. One time I went there for St Patrick's Day, and the buffet really went all in on the St Patrick's Day theme. Glad to hear they managed to stay open.
If you need an editor that’s less salty, let me know! Mark definitely needs his beer. That Michigan cold must be getting to him or something. LOL
Great episode as always guys!
My perdition ( 2021 ) is that Shawn gets bought up by MGM ( a free room & a few drinks credit ) & is given a lifetime ban ( perks ) from all Caesars properties then tries to get in with Winn, Resorts World & whoever ends up buys the Sands properties ( V & P )…. shit… I can get you a free room & drinks @ Circa sitting on my Lazyboy from here in 🇨🇦…. Go back to what got you popular ( on Utube ) not a discounted room or free resort fees…
cheers 🥃🍻🍷🍹🇨🇦 … grain of 🧂
What's your guys prediction for march madness? Do you think it goes back to normal with more people getting the vaccine by then?
I’ve stayed at “the hotel” before it was Denalo back in 2007
Genting will be a success because of its foreign base and the color red. I don’t think the drew will ever happen. The underground Tesla tunnels will help a lot.
Oh wow, im excited, we loved the Hard Rock. I hope the brand comes back to Vegas soon. I never cared for Planet Hollywood so im fine if this happens. Thanx for the updates
Thanks for sharing buddy 👍
What about Hard Rock International looking at Venetian and Palazzo ?
Great show guys, thanks! Always wanted to hit Delano, now will for sure. 👍🥂
Great video, one day us Canadians will be able to visit again!
The pool at the Park MGM is a complete afterthought. They obviously put zero effort into making it a "resort pool". It's way too small, unattractive and I'm pretty sure it doesn't get full sun in the afternoon. They must've completed the renovation and had about 6 bucks left in the budget and said let's splurge on the pool with this.
Don’t forget the lazy river I live in England come on you browns
I stay in ballys in aug & they had food cort in & shops too & the room was good & veiw of the big wheel of the lingo too
lots of people not wearing masks, make your own bed and die in it
Adelson's death could change Vegas.
Adelson changed Vegas from a tourist town into a convention center.
There were conventions before Adelson, but he turned the Vegas convention business into a massive industry.
His idea was conventions would fill the hotels from Monday to Friday and tourists would fill the hotels on the weekend.
Unfortunately, this killed the cheap rooms midweek for the cheapskate tourists like me.
I have a crystal ball, so I will tell you what it predicts for 2021. One moment please! crash #%$@!! Oh no! It just rolled off my desk and smashed when it hit the floor 😮
Sorry guys, you'll have to predict the future without me.
Hopefully 2021 is a better year for Las Vegas, and for you two, and all of your subscribers 😀
Another fabulous video – so glad i found your channel .. was wondering if you had any video info on the Caesars Laurel lounges? I know they are currently closed but for future reference. Cheers
I would love to see a video on Bob Stupak’s Vegas World. My father went there often when they gave out script money to gamble with. It had a space theme. You could start with some info / photos when it opened and visit it now as the Strat.
