Shin always gives an honest, thorough review for any place at which he dines, which is why he's my favorite reviewer for Vegas eats.

Chin is going to be a superstar when it comes to food reviews , his detailed remarks and reviews about each food item is so precise and informative, he needs to go to other countries and review all the types of food in each country, that will elevate him to the next level and he will compete with the likes of Mark Weins in which my opinion Shin is so much better and more charismatic on camera.

Tourist prices for mediocre food. $17 for taquitos that doesn't even include guacamole or salsa. The shame of it all 😂😂. Thanks Shin for the vlog!

You are quickly becoming one of our favourite Vegas reviewers man!

A new series! And it couldn't be more timely. Love the way the Shin creative machine is always in the "on" position.

"Orange Whip? Orange Whip? (To the waiter) Three Orange Whips!"-The Blues Brothers (1980). Pool restaurant series is a great idea.

The prices are insane, and I'm not talking Crazy Eddie... 😮 Prepackaged everything, basically, and, whoa there cowboy.. What's going on here? For me, I'd love to see you check out the many mom n pop shops out there off the 'strip'.. Leave these bungling 'who cares' to the daily lugnuts coming off the boat. Just from my obsessed yelp perusing, (I love food and I love menus), there are so many individual places to check out. Shin, you always do a great job, your efforts are appreciated by this gal. 😊👍🌻🌶

Great idea to review the poolside food. The Cosmo pool food was very good and the view from that pool is the awesome strip view. Check it out!!

The wrap looked delicious and immediately made me hungry.....Great video!

I appreciate all your videos! You are Awesome!

Just like in craps, this looks like a hard pass for me - thanks Shin for all you do. So many better options out there in/near town as you’ve shown us. 🙌🥳🎉

I love your videos. I’m concerned about how good the food will be at poolside restaurants. I’m anticipating a lot of burgers, hot dogs, and tenders which isn’t very interesting to me.

Happy Saturday Shin! Fun video idea! Look forward to more. I'm A honey mustard person with chicken tenders. 🤗😎

IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE A FUN PLACE TO HAVE A NICE TIME. THE FOOD LOOKS GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING, KEEP UP THE MAGNIFICENT JOB SHIN👍🏼😁

As always a great honest review. Thanks!

Thanks Shin ! My kind of food indeed .Good job bud !

You are the master Vegas food reviewer! I’m loving all your videos, and your honest and detailed opinions. Plus your personality and editing are on point 👌🏻 Hope you are feeling better ❤️‍🩹

Glad you’re doing this series. Will def be watching.

Food looks Good ✌✌

Prices are not too crazy considering location burger looked decent but the rest just looked like cafeteria food. Would be totally worth it if they put more effort in. Love this series. You’re gunna pay a premium anywhere near here so it’s nice to see a,Bierce and quality of food. Thanks shin!

Thanks for takin’ us poolside Shin! 😊

Welcome Spring/Summer!!!! We enjoyed as always. Much appreciated. Stay hungry for us!

Love the Beach Bar and Grill at Mandolin Bay really cool beach vibe. Beach Favorite drink Strawberry Marguerita! Breakfast would be good. The loaded fries always my favorite! Taquitos look good but my favorite shrimp cocktail. Chicken tenders I love the honey mustard sauce with the chicken! The chicken BLT sounds like just normal. But I would like it. The double cheeseburger my favorite! I love that buns are grilled. Tater tots and fries are great. Hot dog is great bun grilled as well which I like. Love the fruit options orange so good. The southwest wrap looked so good I know I'll like that and the caeser salad!!!! Orange dessert looks very good. Love the southwest wrap and the burger at The Beach Bar and Grill. The whole atmosphere the pool. atmosphere

Everything looked wonderful but I will take that dessert all day long have a good weekend thank you for another great video ❤😊

I don't have anything to say about the food that hasn't already been said, but thank you for continuing to show us the things!

Pool side and cabana food has always disappointed me. When I can do better at home it is not worth eating out.

Hi Shin, I hope your Saturday is going well. I love Mandalay pools, and the food looks good for poolside food. I like how the vegetables for the double burger are served on the side

that's a good looking double patty burger

“The orange-whipped sundae is so incredibly refreshing! I don’t think I would come here again [truth] and not get it [modest rebuttal].”

I was a waiter at the Paradise Cafe @ The Mirage in 1999 and 2000. Best job I ever had 🙏🏻

The Shrimp Cocktail and Caesar Salad/Wrap look like airline food - at airport pricing! Geesh! 😮😢

I am back and I picked the right video to come back too. Those prices absolutely scream TOURIST RIP OFF! Lets go to 2:35 Shin got 4 snacks (as they call it there) off the menu: PRICES - Frozen Chicken Tenders and Costco Fries: 21$! Shrimp Cocktail with 4 WHOPPING SHRIMP with HEINZ cocktail sauce : 23$! Loaded Fired with a cheese sauce and bacon 13$ (Probably the best value)! THEN the store bought Taquitos covered in flour then fried again for 17$ (See Mandalay bay you didn't think I would notice that)! NOW Lets add up just the snacks with all food bought from COSTCO: 74$! What a great value seeing the cost to make all of that was around probably 8$! -- Then lets pick out the 32oz drink for 15$! The box of syrup cost around 30$ and that can make over a 100 of those 32oz drinks --> RIP OFF MODE ACTIVATED! Lets go on: 7:53 we have the 19$ Grilled Chicken _ Chik Fil a sandwich. I am sorry they used swiss not American so maybe that is why it costs more. -> 9:21 The BEACH DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER for 21$ that looks no better then a Fast Food burger. --> THEN THE HOTDOG apparently made out of Peruvian lamb for 14$ 10:23. That looks like a Nathans Hot Dog you can buy a pack of 5 at Wal-Mart for like 6$ with some Orange Slices. ( Why would I want orange slices with hot dog???) 0 out 5 stars because it is literally what Disney World wanted to be with food prices but even they could stoop to this level of RIP OFF MODE!

$200!!! 🤪🤪🤪 - just get the $12 sundae and run! Noted! 🙏❤️

Cool review! I've tried The Orleans and Venetian pool side food. Both were very good. There's something about eating a burger and fries poolside that just hits the spot 😋.

I Look Forward To Your Twice A Week Reviews !........Very Enjoyable Shin.......A Personal Guided Tour Of Vegas !

It was a great video from our favorite pool. And you had a salad!

Loaded fries looked good, agree on the bacon! Mojito cocktail looked damn nice too. Burger looked good

Thanks for the poolside tour. The dessert looked to be the most appetizing. Not a pool fan so I doubt I will be trying the food there.

We always stay at Delano/Mandalay Bay when in Vegas and I have seen but never been to that poolside restaurant. It seems decent enough, so I wouldn’t be afraid to order the Southwest chicken wrap. On another note, we will be staying at the Fontainebleau tomorrow so I took your recommendation and made a reservation at Mother Wolf. Thank you Shin!

Definitely the best pool in Vegas! I’m looking forward to this series!! Thanks Shin!

Am I the only one who thought the double cheeseburger patties looked burnt? Never miss a vid shin! Thank you! Prices too mucho for me!

Eah ! Definently run of the mill stuff. Even the burger looked weak . Of course we all know how pricey things are. The food however is edible, lol . Just a quick snack while you are at the pool area for the afternoon....charge it to the room.....❤ then bend over backwards when ya check out!!!! Lol 😮

What a great idea for a series!

The salad not worth 16 bucks. If they made their own dressings I could see the expenditure. Nice video as always.

That double cheeseburger looked awesome!!!! ❤

Shin great job

Shinster! Always happy to see your face 😊

I love your videos 😻😻🤙🏻🤙🏻

The food doesn't look too bad. I'm just not a fan of food at a pool because most of the time it's just okay and I don't like eating while I'm at the pool. I would get the orange ice cream. Also it was great meeting you at Lvlup Expo today.

Ok, I've got a weeks worth of work for you. For Tue, head over to Cornish pasty, I recommend the pasties with red wine sauce. For dessert, toffee pudding, sweet, but very good. For the strip, head over to Smith & Wollensky for their "angry shrimp." There are of course more items on the their menu, but that's all I ever order, lol.

This is a nice area to look out at the pool but maybe I’d get a cocktail….😊❤

Thanks for mentioning what is frozen/packaged.

Looks like an okay place to grab a snack while you're at the pool but I don't think I'd go out of my way to get it since it did seem like a lot of frozen foods reheated. Thank you as always for your review!

Reminds me of food that you get at those all inclusive resorts in Mexico. That orange soft serve looks delicious though.

Special Request: I'd LOVE to see you review Mr. Mama's for breakfast. Digging the channel! Cheers from Toronto, Canada!

The chicken wrap looked delicious. Now I am in the mood to make one this week. Wondering if you need a bracelet or something to swim in their pool if you are not staying there. Not sure how the hotels work there. Thank you for the video.

My man, sumo Shin!

Great job as usual!! Keep up the good work!! As for the food? I have seen better quality at our local gas station. That food all looked awful!! lol.

The loaded fries looked really good.

They have no need to aspire to doing better. They have a captive audience. It looks adequate and of course at prices that are inflated, apropos of Vegas.

I think the food there is just okay. They can step it up a notch but I guess with the amount of people they are serving this works for them. I don’t like all the pre packaged sauces and dressings. That’s okay for take out but if you are sitting in the restaurant they should do better. Overall the food is just ok. Nothing spectacular but will fill you up at the pool

Not gonna lie though Shin, after alot of water activities, the food there would taste like something from a 5 star restaurant..😂😂

👍🤠

Oh GREAT idea to do pool bars...the loaded fries remind me of taco bell's loaded fries different cheese, though? That chicken burger looked amazing, but too bad it wasn't the best. I wonder if they'd let us walk in and just buy the orange whip sundae and leave? Thank you for a great video!

nothing like an Ore Ida and Tyson beach lunch.....

Sounds like pretty ordinary food for the price and the view. I wonder if some of the swankier hotels’ pool-side restaurants have better fare.

Thanks for the review. Overpriced pool food.

For those drink prices I will just mix a drink in my hotel room and sit in the tub. plus there wont be a few hundred people pissing in my water. lol

People, please stop paying these prices. They are playing you.

👑♥️🤘

That bacon on the nachos seriously looks like corned beef😬 a couple years ago I stayed there and had the breakfast sandwich at the pool everyday and it was awesome! I never tried anything else after that lol

WTG Shinster. TY

The food looks mediocre but will I order them when I'm there? Yes I will.😂

I think this is gonna be a great series. This food was very boring. I’d have a hard time picking something.

Snowy today so really enjoying the sunny vacation vibes 🌞 PS. We see that Din Tai Fung is coming to Disneyland have you tried the one on the Strip? Cheers!

A lot of the food you tried definitely came from a supermarket freezer. Hard to justify the price. BTW Shin, after your reviews do you live on leftovers for the rest of the week?

Shin, you should collaborate with "Food & Travel with "Danny The Medic" youtuber one of these days.

SYSCO prepackaged food. Boo. Hard pass on food and prices. ❤😂😊

Dip chicken strips in Frank's red hot then Marie's bleu cheese dressing

VWS: That looked bad and the prices were your standard rip-off levels. $21 for 5 Shrimps reminds me of the Fontainebleau nachos), $21 Cheeseburger 🍔 ridiculous, $6 sodas crazy. How long can Vegas overcharge their customers. But as P.T. Barnum said " a Sucker is born every minute" lol lol. See you Tuesday Peace ✌️

Hello Shin normally I will watch a videos as soon as it comes out, but unfortunately, my family lost our place living due to a fire. We are all safe pretty much have lost mostly everything.😢

So you did have to pay for Mandalay Bay pool area access?

Hey Shin wheres the spedo?

Can you try ghengris grill?

No ketchup on a hotdog

Seems a bit pricey.

I'm offended by the menu prices. Even with current inflation everything on that menu is more than twice the price of what it should be. This is just another reason for me to not go to Las Vegas, but instead go to my local tribal casinos. The MGM, Caesar's, etc.. organizations on the strip are straight up gouging on food at all their properties. $22 for the standard "Fatburger" at the dirty castle's food court. There's no value per dollar spent. It's just not worth it.

First

Ha! The casinos make so much profit from gambling, now they are trying to mess people up with the food. Unacceptable. I used to be able to get prime rib for 6.95 with all the fixins at my local joint or 4.95 Downtown. This is ridiculous. There is no need for these prices. I lived there, I know. People are being played by the casino system in order to make tons more profits. That shrimp was soggy and flaccid. Not good.

$74 for a platter of chicken tenders? W T F

Don’t eat the chicken strips. Cold and dry

Chicken, chicken and more chicken.. what a boring menu.. yeah I saw there was some shrimp which I personally like but many can't do shrimpies.

Gawd, this food looks terrible

Well, I know I won't ever be eating at this place talk about mediocre.😕😕😕 I mean, all the food was probably acquired from Sodexo, Sysco, and U.S. food service, there was no rhyme or reason to it. 😒😒😒 Packets of mayo and ketchup dried out chicken and frozen fries and frozen tator tots really? 🙄🙄🙄 It looks like most of the food was frozen at one time or another. This place just sucks. The only saving grace was the orange whip so I'll stop by to try that someday. 😋😋😋 I know it's a rant Shin, but I feel bad you spent all this money on bad food I would have been complaining the entire time if I had been eating with you. 😆😆😆 even the decor of the area looked like it was a 1980's or 1990's time warp LOL!!! 😆😆😆 The village pub you visted weeks ago and that cafe by the raiders stadium you went to, the food was great😋😋😋 but this place no way my friend, anyway thanks for saving me some pain not having to eat here I owe you one seriously 😋😋😋

Terrible food.

$14 dollar hot dog? hell no!
