What do you care most about in a casino? Table Games, Slot Variety, Sports Book, Table Minimums, restaurants?

@@robsab531 haha fair enough. There are a lot of walk-through channels out there that just show the location without any editorializing. I like to offer more information and context than just visuals, but there is definitely room for both I think. Thanks for your feedback. I’ll add more b-roll on future videos.

You were talking about the restaurants. Harvey's used to have Top of the Wheel, it was Hawaii type decor. Great place to watch the sunset.

And Harrahs had the Summit. Both were high end restaurants.I Have to say, being an ex employee of Harrah's Tahoe back in the mid 70's (1976-1981). I am greatly disappointed how Lake Tahoe has lost it's soul. Tahoe used to be a fun place with loads of excitement, no matter the time of day, The cabaret was enclosed in the same location as the current venue, but they had decent entertainment. I remember seeing the likes of BB King, Paul Revere and the Raiders and many more. Harrahs also had a Showroom with top nothch entertainers. To name a few, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, John Denver and many more. Now it is just another casino town, except the crowds are overwhelming to the point it has destroyed the ambiance.

I worked for Harrah's back in 1982... Back then, all casino floors were open 24/7. Another odd fact is the Nevada- California state line runs right through Harrah's property. Part of the hotel is in California and the casino floor is in Nevada.

@1kenodave1 2 ай бұрын

The entrance to Harrahs was on the border. California did not have legalized gaming back then, so the entrance was a few feet within Nevada's border. When you walked in, you saw one of four keno games. Harrahs had the orange, white, Red and the Gold game which was located in the North Club, within the site of the former Barney's Casino, which Harrah's bought out. Gone are the gorgeous college girls who worked as keno runners, dealers and other departments for the summer, before returning to college in the fall.

Hi I'm new to the channel 😊 I'm truly enjoyed your commentary and videos. I was wondering do you ever go out East to Atlantic City (in which I just left a couple of weeks ago) I thought it was great mind you. I wished I would've went in warmer weather tho...so I could've truly enjoyed the Boardwalk. BTW I'm a table player Blackjack and Craps are my favorite. I'll be in Vegas again for New Year's Eve for about a week... I'll be staying at the Luxor have you ever stayed there by chance?

Thank you! I haven’t been to Atlantic City but I just finished a visit to the Harrah’s in North Carolina (video coming soon) and I frequent casino’s in Florida and Mississippi, as well as Vegas. I’ve not been to the Luxor, but I follow a few channels that specialize in Vegas. Travel Ruby, Pompsie, and Coolist luxury hotels all have content about the Luxor I believe.

I only dabble in slots when I'm kicking it with my BFF she loves the slots I DON'T! lol My two main games are BJ and Craps I love to play the feature games on the tables...

A trip down memory lane for me, it's ashame what has happened to Tahoe and Reno, pretty close to being ghost towns, I happened to be there in 1980 when Harveys had the bomb threat and it actually blew up, too much gambling all over the country now, it really did kill all of Nevada ☹️

@JBlinky67 3 ай бұрын

Yes, but Harrah's and Harvey's are doing nothing about it. Never have. The employees have complained about the drop in people once the closeby Indian casinos opened in '03 and '08. Yet the games STILL don't pay better, the video poker is still atrocious, and their room, food, and free play rules totally suck. Getting people back to Stateline is easy if they really wanted to.

You should have done some more research. Montblanc is transitioning owners. It will soon be a Bally's. The disarray you see is the process of rearranging. Harrah's and Harvey's are considered casino by people in the know and locals both are owned by Ceasars. By law minimums have to be on every table game in use you probably didn't look hard enough. And why on earth would you do a review at 9 in the morning and on a weekday at that?

@crews_reviews Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your feedback. I saw The Bally’s announcement after releasing the video, but I doubt the casino floor got a lot more games after the transition. The Harrah’s and Harvey’s were fine, but as a casino regular, I found the Hard Rock to be more Vegas-like and enjoyable for a non-local. That’s just my opinion though. This was a vacation for me, so I didn’t want to spend multiple hours doing a video when the wife is with me at night 😂. Minimums only have to be posted when the tables are open I believe. If the tables are closed, they don’t always have minimums listed, at least not clearly.

@philmakris8507 Жыл бұрын

@@crews_reviews that's what I meant about the minimums. I think you'll be surprised when Bally's converts. It's a legacy property. The appeal of Tahoe and Reno is that it's not Vegas. What nit put your wife in the videos. Bet you would get more views. No offense dude but your video seemed thrown together. Full disclosure; I have only seen the one of your videos. Tou ever check out Jacob's life in Vegas or Pompsie, that's how it's done. You say your a casino regular? Have your experiences been mostly on cruise ships or land based casinos.

@@buckeye9252 Hmmm I too was surprised about the Harrah's having such high minimums. It's NOT like it's a high end casino or something SMH. As you've said you'll probably expect that at a Bellagio or Mandalyn Bay huh. To be real Lake Tahoe casinos are sorta of pricey the tables that is.
