We continue our #Vegas #tour series with a look at the South Las Vegas #Strip! Did you know there are motels left on the Strip? We’ll check out the Travelodge, some other oddities and I gawk over Target’s brand new sign. It is so cool!
The main part of the video involves tours of #MGMGrand and #NewYorkNewYork including their masked mascots and a new pedestrian bridge that whisks people over Las Vegas Boulevard. We’ll also discuss the monorail’s Disney past and get a glimpse at a closed casino. Make sure to check out our other Las Vegas tour videos including several Strip tours, a look at 10 closed Vegas casinos and a #Raiders #stadium tour!

Great video , really liking your stuff ! Can you do a tour of off strip casinos like Red Rock and Aliante ?
Great video once again! How long can Vegas survive with so little visitors?
Great video new sub
Great walking tour. Happy Monday.
Thanks for the video….good info and interesting….wow it looks dead….
I already commented earlier in the video, but i also had to say….there is a lot of walking…lol….my 1st trip for my 60th in september and staying at the MGM Signature…I had no idea the distance to get from place to place on foot, and i dont have a the best working legs to do it….OH MY 😂
At 19:02 MtoM uses the handicap door, which I use all the time.
They have all these cleaning ladies cleaning the slots etc,etc, but the entrances to the casinos are manual doors which hundreds to thousands of people grab the handles to get into the casino.
Only about 5 people will play an individual slot machine each day but hundreds will open the manual door, which is great for transferring viruses.
The solution is to have automatic doors at the casino entrances.
Curious. People who visit Las Vegas 2-5 times a year….have you considered moving to Las Vegas?
If you like your friend's aquarium tank (Las Vegas) so much, wouldn't you want your own aquarium too?
very good video / what I enjoyed was your behind the scenes info about the history of the MGM Grand / you seem to really know LV history / we are planning a trip in October / hope everything is open then
Thanks for sharing your memories along the tour! Arcade is way cooler than Marshall's. Neat about the original monorail cars.
I enjoyed the video. These places look pretty hectic in design. Only issue I had is that it's jarring when you turn the camera so close to the wall or let stuff get directly in front of the shot. Other than that, great video.
Love all your videos. Keep me coming! Thank you.
Thanks great video..👍
are there many uber in las vegas?
its amazing the difference you have simply crossing the street near the travel lodge where you started this. you have this high end shopping and hotels on one side then the travel lodge and and cheap souvenir shops on the other side.
2:20: Finish your thoughts … "The giant Coke bottle and mm's have been here since it was built, and I think it's about the only things." I'm not sure what your were expecting, because when you build something, it is hard to have something else in the same place unless you tear something down. what else were you expecting? A hotel? I'm not learning anything from your comments. Also, you start at the Travelodge near Circus Circus on the north strip, then suddenly are south strip … not obvious to people who have not been there about 10 times. Good audio and steady cam.
What is the social distancing on the roller coaster when you are right behind someone with yelling, slimmy dribble coming out of their mouths with the utterance of "shiiiitiiiiittttt!" spraying and flying back toward you at 35 miles per hour?
Great editing, sound, music when not talking, great voice overs and cuts! Thanks! Bummed about the change away from the NY theme … I did not know that … so I learned some things1 Thanks Miles!
Looks rundown and sad now, very few people.
One very interesting fact about the nationwide massive economic shut down is that no one has proven or shown that it really is working. Really. News media talk as if it is common knowledge that it is working. I don’t think so. I am an ER physician in California and the shut down here does not correlate with the incidence on Covid. Covid is bad but it is not Ebola or Marburg or similar horrible viruses. It is worse than a novel influenza but not that much worse. We would NEVER shut down for influenza.
Thanks for posting this, the history of the MGM was really interesting, and the New York neighbourhood, was my favorite place to hang out in Vegas. I wish I'd visited Vegas when the hotels were all super themed.
Rock Vegas!
Don't like the music.bill
I'm getting addicted to your Vegas vids, so fun to watch!
we liked your tour of all of Laughlin….we always go to the Riverside. for stay but tour all the Casinos…. walking or boat rides…30 YEARS OF lAUGHLIN FOR US.
Wow! It looks like you can actually drive down the strip like you could back in the 70s ans 80s
Do you remember the theme park they had at mgm? Mgm Grand Adventures..
It great the bridge has been added. Thst area was a bit behind the rest of the strip..now The Sahara intersection needs all 4 to accomodate Strat, Gift Shop, Pot Store, and the new constructs..
Hello could you please tell me if u have to wait hours to get a drink while you are playing cards?
Where is everyone? Why is all closed?
ANYONE else think its weird no one is there?
i stayed in the travel lodge the first time when we went to vegas and it was awesome. i remember getting lit on fruit vodka and then going out onto those weird stairs and being dazzled by the lights! 🙂 glad you started at the travel lodge!
I remember the Wizard of Oz theme. We went to the magic show inside. I've stayed at MGM a few times and even though I think it's a beautiful place, it's just too damn big!
Really enjoyed your memories and the history of the MGM Grand. Very cool that you and your dad used to work there. It's a special place to me as it was the first big Vegas resort I stayed at back in 1997. I was 20 years old and with my grandfather and brother. I have a vlog on my channel that has some video from that trip. It's cool to visit places that have changed so much and to remember what it used to look like. I feel that way about the Disney parks. I think that's why I love Vegas and it's history. So many changes over the years. Thanks for this!
