The longest bonus I've ever had was also the biggest. I was at the Golden Gate playing Heidi and Hannah's Bier Hall, and initially I won 38 free spins. About that time the cocktail waitress came over and took my order. When she returned, she said, "still going, huh?". The game retriggered a few times with double digit spins - I lost track - and just kept plodding along. She eventually came back and said, "Oh! Another bonus?" and took my order again. The bonus lasted about 45 minutes long, and I won about $1100; just low enough to not get a W2-G. The game was so loud, everyone eventually left the area. ;)

The Mirage tram was a savior from the 120 degree temps. It helped a lot when staying at the Mirage and venturing North strip. You could pretty much stay indoors all the way to the walkway from TI to fashion show

Mirage was the first place I ever stayed in Vegas.

I once got over 500 free spins playing max bet ($4.50) on a Konami Quest for Riches slot. The free games went on for at least an hour. On this one, the compasses are the free spin trigger. I pretty much filled the screen. During the free spins I earned at least 200 additional free spins. The grand total was $3,229.00.

These videos are my favorite part of Friday.

My longest bonus was over 300 spins on that old Konami game, China Shores, at Mandalay Bay. It took over an hour, and I had to call my boyfriend to come watch the machine while I used the bathroom. I don't remember my exact win but it was several hundred dollars-- and I was betting small.

I saw Shin Lim last week as a priority before the Mirage closes. The show was really good. I don't generally care for magic, and he was impressive. His wife also does a performance and it was beautiful and really cool. Totally worth it. Also, longest bonus was 400 free spins on moolah at NYNY. Win a bunch of extra free spins along the way. I was locked to the machine for like two hours 🤣 but it was a $6-700 win so it was worth jt

Excellent show as usual. Jokers Wild used to be known for their excellent 99 cent sirloin steak at midnight. I ate one more than once, but it was back in the 1990s. A friend said it was $1.99. I honestly can't remember. I used to go there on Saturdays for lunch with a group of friends. There was a good salad bar. We were all video poker players and had much fun and a few big wins. I remember us always being lucky at KENO while eating lunch. The Cannery is a real mystery. For a while it was packed, but around 2015 it started to slack off. The buffet was pretty good but they closed it and would send you to Sam's Town. Sam's Town Buffet was excellent - thanks to the prime rib.

The Mirage closer depressed the shit out of me! We were there last week for Love. We stayed there 5 times from 2020 to 2022

During our first visit to Virgin, we were playing Return to the Planet Moolah. The wife, who was playing deep, hit the mystical Unicow and got 400 free spins to start. It retriggered numerous times and took about an hour to complete the bonus round. She ended up winning over $4000, which is one of the reasons we don't bash Virgin.

Sad to say goodbye to Mirage. At least I finally saw LOVE show, so glad I didn’t miss out on this great one. Hope they will move to a different hotel.

M2M Thanks for the Tuscany Suites tip. Walked away with some cash after using the free play.

I like the new carpet at the Rio. It was always dark in there. I had 45 spins on Buffalo Gold and made a little over a thousand dollars. So much fun!

@milestomemories Cannery Casino & Hotel (North LV) is still open. You guys kept saying the Cannery is closed and that had me tripping because I used to live down the road from it until almost two years ago now, and it was, and is, still open. You're referring to Eastside Cannery. Those of us who weren't born and bred in LV need that distinction lest we be confused. I never got over to Eastside Cannery and only learned of it about probably around the time it closed, which is probably why it didn't register when you were talking about it in this video. Cannery is very, very much a locals casino. It was cool to drive right down Craig Road on a Friday or Saturday night, hit the Italian restaurant in there, and gamble a bit.

the NHL draft is in Vegas at the Sphere

Criss Angel and Dirty Castle for the Bingo card.😃

I've been at Caesars Windsor and walked by the rhino charge game. I see the chair tilted against the machine and the person's gone. Probably taking a break somewhere while the machines just doing its free games😂

Shim lim show was amazing!! Worth it!!

Just got back from Vegas. As a MGM platinum member, we have been getting $600 cash for one airline ticket per year. Rewards just notified me next year MGM will give $600 free play, no longer cash. I’m pissed because this is a dig at premier rewards members, as free play costs MGM nothing and takes the real cash benefit away. Shame on MGM, with record profits taking away one real benefit from platinum members. Cash is not the same as free play, which must be gambled at MGM properties. I’m definitely considering just doing Gold membership starting next year.

Yeah, it would definitely be cool if they hosted a draft at the Sphere. Personally, I think the NHL draft would be a good fit. Maybe some day…

Without the Colorado Bell Laughlin has lost a lot of its appeal. The river walk is detoured around the Colorado Bell property. 6pm 108 degrees, no beer at the Bell!

Great show guys! Eastside Cannery* There's two of them and the north side one is open still, Losee road. Prime time table games is absolutely in the morning from 7-11 a.m. Shin Lim and Nathan Burton are actually two of the best shows in Vegas if you ask me. Bye bye Mirage & Tropicana! Heard those Mirage rates are down just a hair but idk if going there right now would be that great of an experience. I heard the elevators often shut off too. Yikes. Vegas is certainly changing extra fast these days. Anyways guys, see you on the next one!

I love the Rhino Charge game, I got over 400 super free games (8 reels per spin). Won just under $1200. It lasted about an hour. Was the min bet I think. Was great, just make sure you don't have to use the bathroom and wait for the Rhino to stomp and snort! After 200 spins I started to stop the reels early and it still took an hour.

Omg, i love the 3 am to 6 am hours. People watching is lit in a way you can't explain. I love it!!

Right in front of luckley’s (replaced all American), where the Table games are now use to be a lower ceiling with what looked like a shell. The Rio new ceiling looks so much better. The new carpet is for sure making the place brighter.

i didn't get the Unicow, but got a bonus on Raiders from the Planet Moolah which kept giving me more free games and went on for a full 45 minutes! I was worried I was going to miss the show I was attending at the Mirage (Ron White)! In the end I got $471 on a 75 cent bet, and I made it to the show on time.

I don't recall how many games I got, but I do remember it was on a Tabasco machine at the Rio, and I played for almost an hour because I kept winning bonus games. (The Rio slots were always good to me, back in the day. Nice to see the Rio getting refurbed.)

Speaking of inflation, my eyeballs damn near popped out of my skull tonight when I saw the burger price at Fatburger in the foodcourt of the Venetian. It was $22! You can literally go to Grand Luxe, get better food and full service and eat an entire entree for that price. Needless to say, there was no one eating at Fatburger. No wonder that company is closing locations and not doing well. Fast food is supposed to be cheap.

That Sphere never gets old.

Thank you to our co-hosts for this bi-weekly presentation. Look forward to your eclectic vlogs. The guitar-shaped rooms work here for Hard Rock. Hope the same for The Strip

update from vital vegas, the mirage said they are going to reopen the tram in 2027

Mark what do you mean get a Draft in the sphere. The NHL draft was going live at the Sphere as I was watching your show!

Sorry to correct or perhaps add to your comment on magician Lin. Before he made it on America Got Talent he was a competitor on Penn and Tellers Fool Us I believe it was season 2. FYI

What other channel is commenting on a casino carpet's level of padding?

1500 spins on China Shores Boosted at South Point. Included 4 Retriggers. 2 hours to complete.

so Mark, the National Hockey League is having its annual draft RIGHT NOW at the Sphere!!! RIGHT NOW!!!! Friday and Saturday.

Tourism boost is largely ranking up more credit cards and catering to the top 10%

Vegas with Shin did a video at Luckley at Rio and it looks really good! Really like what the Rio is doing

I gotta say, the air conditioning is out of control in these Vegas Casinos. I brought all these summer clothes, thinking it was going to be hot af. I am freezing my ass off! I should have packed for winter and brought a down jacket! It is really unpleasant and jarring on the body to go from 100 degrees outside to like 60 degrees inside.

Maybe Boulder hwy numbers would improve if the Cannery was open?

Unfortunately it seems like there’s just not a lot of benefit to visit Laughlin anymore. You can sports bet on your phone and plenty of states have local casinos where you can play live table games. It will be interesting to see how Laughlin navigates this next phase of its existence. Thanks for the great content you guys! 😁👍🏼

I'll miss the tram! I have a nice video of the mechanic working in his space underneath the track at The Mirage.

Early morning is the best time in the casino-- for sure. Fewest murders!

Just stayed at the Rio in room 333 and have been waiting for the hotel to send a guest survey or something so I could give them a proper review of my stay. I got nothing. The "renovated" room as I assume all of the "renovated" rooms are, is only partially renovated. New carpet, new TV's, new mini fridges, new sofas, and headboards. The phones may have been new. The bathrooms, hmmm... I think the shower may have been kind of new as when I've previously stayed at the Rio, the rooms I stayed in all had the tub/shower all-in-one combo. Room 333 just had the shower stall, which was fine, except you had to damn near break your arm to turn the damn thing on. Whenever you turn on the sink in the bathroom, it sounded like the beating of a metal drum in the sink in the vanity area. Lastly, the toilet in Room 333 is not bolted to the floor! That meant that it moved every time you sat on it! The O ring is probably about gone due to that, so every morning around the time everyone in line of that room took a dump, the bathroom smelled like an outhouse that was past due a dozing over. I never knew of or stayed at Rio in it's heyday and I really hope the new owners are able to get it back to what it once was. My overall stay was decent, but I am really hoping at some point that they do a true gut remodel of the plumbing and rooms. I like where they are going with the casino floor and some of the restaurants. The Chinese restaurant there is great, I've always loved the food and service. Glad to see that the Tavern replaced the previous restaurant that was there because that place had gotten really bad. That sports book and that nasty little restaurant that serves it has to go asap. It's just dirty, and the food and service has been horrible for years. Also, the wi-fi has not been properly reset by the new owners, and it is NOT secure. Lots of middle-aged and seniors stay at Rio in addition to a fair amount of the younger crowd. There were, however, far too many children at the property overall (running and screaming thru the halls and in the rooms between 1:30am and 3:45am) and roaming thru the casino floor while I was there. I really wish casinos had child-free floors and kept all children on the lower floors. Having children beside and/or above you acting a fool is beyond annoying. Would love to see a huge Brazilian churrascaria and other Brazilian restaurants (maybe something more upsacle) on the property. Fingers crossed and hoping that the new owners will keep updating the property until they finally get it back to what it once was.

Most tables aren’t open 7-9am on the strip besides black jack

You forgot the tram from Bellagio to Aria, and yes free!

I was playing the Wizard of Oz slot at Palazzo tonight and I was getting a ton of bonus features, it was a lot of fun.

NHL draft is tonight at the Sphere. Should be great

the little guy with the crazy eyes at the slots looks like the guy on the craps table from the last video? my first time going to jokers wild I couldn't understand why they didn't have at least a small little boutique hotel building, I liked the small casino's vibe and the machines were actually pretty modern.i'm staying at the Rio on the 3 and 4th this week because of these 2 I gonna have to check out the carpet lol both nights comped and no resort fee because I signed up for their new Rio card. man you guy's put a lot of work into this, nice job

You were talking about sporting events at the Sphere, but you didn't mention the NHL Draft is being held in the Sphere this weekend.

They closed it a few weeks ago. Sucks walked all the way to it and no signage until you get to it that tells you it’s closed

My longest bonus was on Invaders of the Planet Moolah, I hit the Unicow bonus earning 400 free spins. During the 400 free spins it retriggered granting an addition 200 free games over the duration of the original 400. For 600 free games, on a 0.75 bet. Walked away with 800 bucks, the machine button was broken and the bottom got locked, so there was no skipping any spins and I was there for around 2.5 hours.

NHL Draft is tonight at The Sphere

14:17 NHL draft used the Sphere this weekend.

115ish temps 3rd of July through the 10th nice

Congrats on the sponsor guys, nice! 50K soon!

It’s good to see the Rio getting upgraded, and sad to see the Mirage go. They were barely a year old the first time i went to Vegas. But so many places have come and gone in 30+ years. And it’s really good seeing more ‘locals’ casinos getting nicer. Nice enough to draw locals who don’t wan’t the full Strip experience and for vacationers that want a taste but not the madhouse.

To get to most trams are at the far back of the casinos with entrances tucked away somewhere in a corner. By the time you get there you could have walked to the next casino.

Hey Mark....Did yiu know the NHL is having their draft at the Sphere tonight!!!! ESPN2.

No ball cap alert!!!! You have been warned.

Magic shows are very popular with the foreign tourists who visit Vegas, as there is no language barrier. Asian tourists really love them.

I hit the unicow and triggered the bonus with 400 games. Retrigger 136 more along the way for a $2200 hand pay. Took about 70 minutes to play.

i had my best night of gambling at the craps table at 3am at the dirty castle one night..

Planet Moolah Unicow 520 Spins. Won around 2000.00 Park MGM

I hit a Pharoah type machine back in 2010-ish and got over 30 free games and I don't remember exactly how much I won, but I am certain it paid more than double digits. 😂

After last night on the strip; Vegas will probably post record numbers for this summer. I've never seen it so busy on a hot summer Friday. The stadium with events like soccer and the sphere are really having an impact.

Coomer & Ostermann! Keep up the great work! NHL Draft is tonight & tomorrow at the Sphere. Will be nice to see what they have in store for the UFC fight in September that mentioned.

About the pizza napoletana, I am surprised that Settebello Pizzeria in Henderson NV was not mentioned.

It's costing UFC 16 million dollars to do the sphere that's why it's a one time deal

Keep it up Rio, nice upgrades.

Profit on gaming revenue is most certainly higher now than pre-sniffles virus. As a local player I used to get tons of free stuff, food, hotel rooms, hundreds in free slot play, etc. That is close to nothing at this point. Staffing maybe more expensive on the casino floor, but there are a lot less staff. Room costs are up, but room rates are up more. Food costs are up, but menu prices are up. The casinos are making huge bank in spite of inflation, do not feel sorry for them!

I was just at the Rio and the carpet looks great, it’s not busy and it does brighten the space and it’s nice to walk on! But the smoke in the casino this time was almost unbearable for some reason…

Almost to 50k. Great info

I hit 585 games on a bonus initially and during the bonus hit several more to total 765. It took 2 hours 10 minutes to play it. I was only betting 80 cents and won $872. I had a ball!

Pizza Rock is actually a solid pizza, but idk if its top 50 world wide. Its not even the best pizza in Vegas, I would give that to Grimaldi's , but they have a coal oven so that's a huge advantage. Not hating on Pizza Rock, still love there pizza, just a weird list forsure.

Yes as a people watcher, have seen much of the gambler insomnia plus the gamblers on machine too long, ones who gambl d their house away, their lane tickets away, everything they had away, and then some. Kinda sad people just don't know how to call it quits

The NHL Draft is there right now (June 28/29)

Have a great weekend

Slice House over at Green Valley is really good if ya want a quick slice of pizza on the go. Another great video guys🤙🤙

I was at planet hollywood and captured the unicow for 400 games plus about 200 more games on $2.25 bet for anout $1,800 last year 0:15

Accidentally found the tram going over to see Mystere before the announcement that they were going to close.

Yay, almost 50k. That opening slot dude was scary.

When I went to Laufhlin this month they said it was dead this year. I am thinking we may be seeing more offers from there.

I got 275 free games and won $305 at MGM Northfield Park in Ohio.

The problem with the new Rio carpet is the padding. It is very difficult to roll a suitcase over it.

I won 400 free spins on Rhino Charge, min bet and ended up with just under $100. It was also the 4 game.

Hey Mark, what’s The Fresh Company?

Can't wait to see this finished project, Mirage, into Hard Rock. Not the guitar building but the Mirage building.

we must of road the tram 100 times over the years from mirage to ti. Have not been to TI in 2 years wife burnt them on a offer. They hold a grudge

Yeah! Love me some Golden Tiki. ❤️♠️♦️♣️

Wiki says Terry Fator is an American ventriloquist, impressionist, stand-up comedian, and singer. That's at least two too many things.

I spent my honeymoon in 1968 at Tropicana and in the early 2000’s my husband and I stayed at Mirage 2 or 4 times a year.😭 My husband died in 2021 which makes all of this hard to deal with.😢

The rio is super cheesy. The drinks at that lobby bar were good and cheap, but the puffy carpet, kiss golf course, decorations etc were cheesy. You can throw a coat of paint on, but it’s still 1985.

With the Fiesta hotel and casino Gone. Joker Wild area would be a good spot for a hotel.

Got 65 spins on a 1 cent “I Dream of Jeanie” at 4 Queens, back in the day. Started out fun…..but got soooo boring!! So I’m not a fan at all of those long, rebound repeat bonus rounds - had pass for me!!

Whats next? Excalibur for a NBA stadium?Or will the Fertittas take that Wild Wild West casino and adjacent properties originally planned for A's and make the stadium they wanted before the Great Recession? Metro Pizza is a classic.

I find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that TI is poised to outlast the Mirage. likeee what?

Double Zero Pizza is awesome!

My grandma walks faster than that tram moved.. it was a waste of time to wait for it
