In this video we are doing a review of staying at Horseshoe Hotel and Casino at the center of the Las Vegas Strip. I stayed in the cheapest room available (Resort King) and was able to get upgraded to a higher floor with a better view without doing the $20 trick. I'll give you a walkthrough tour of the property, show you a lot of activities and new things to do since they changed their name from Bally's. We'll cover the hotel room, the WSOP poker room, how to find the uber and lyft pickup spot, the new arcade (former sportsbook), Twilight Zone by Monster Mini Golf, Bodies Exhibit, National Geographic Rarely Seen, Cabinet of Curiosities Bar and Speakeasy, gym/fitness center, food court, pool, monorail station, Bazaar Shops, steakhouse, restaurants, best photo spots and history (MGM fire). We'll wrap up the video with pros and cons, the resort fee, taxes, how good of a value the property is (cheap vs expensive), what type of traveler it is ideal for and a few employee shout outs!

What's so bad about it is that it's just greed. You already pay big bucks to eat at the resort restaurants, plus possibly losing loads in the casino. Charge for parking...geez. Tipping staff....If they must charge resort fee they could cut it down to $10. Not the same amount of the room.

I'm so glad you mentioned the uber pickup. as someone who does Uber fulltime, lots of people will be at the main entrances of casinos and I have to tell them where to go. They sometimes think we just don't want to "go around the corner" to get them but they don't know we could get fined, also when it's super busy that little corner can turn into a 10-20 minute turn around if it's bumper to bumper

@Acesfull82 Жыл бұрын

Yeah that’s true. A lot of tourists don’t realize every hotel in Las Vegas has a designated place for pick ups. They can get in a lot of trouble if they break the rules so be patient with your drivers and meet them where they tell you!

Thank you for an excellent informative video ! I’ve always liked Bally’s and it was was interesting to now see what it looks like since becoming Horseshoe. The one negative has always been their lack of dining options but like you said there are so many options just outside the door. And also it’s attached to Paris and that walkway between casinos has a lot of good choices. Thanks again for sharing this update.

WOW. This is one of the best and most well planned out walk throughs I've ever seen. Managed to cover just about everything in good detail without rushing through it. Lots of good editing and camera work. The room review was refreshing to see someone on camera showing the features instead of someone just walking through the room with a camera in front of them. The brief still shots and moving video were placed in good spots. The graphics inserted like the Mirage video were good to. Just an awesome video.

Glad you mentioned a little history and the famous fire of 1980. I read that some people in the casino didn't want to leave their slot machine even though the place was on fire---how dumb was that. Also, Vegas supposedly now has the toughest fire code in the country because of that fire.

@Acesfull82 Жыл бұрын

Happens all the time. Gambling is a strong addiction for a lot of people and they refuse to leave the machine even if their life is in danger. Kinda sad. PH had a flood a while back and there’s a video of a woman getting rained on at a slot and she just refused to change machines. Please when you come to our casinos we want you to have fun but if you can’t control the urge to play then seek help. We have resources for you and there’s no shame in it. I’ve done it myself.

@lordfubar1 8 ай бұрын

Harrah's in Laughlin, NV once had a bomb threat and it took forever to clear the casino floor. I finished my work and wanted to go home, but I was stuck there too. At least I didn't have to leave a machine "that was about to hit", haha. I've heard of many stories of people soiling themselves because they didn't want someone taking "their" machine. In a fire you could get burned twice, one could get burned on their body and when the casino shuts off the power before you casn out. Some people don't think ahead.
