We are visiting the hotel/casino that occupies the entire block on Fremont, from 2nd (or Casino Center) to 3rd Streets: The venerable Four Queens. Join us as we walk around and through the property, and wind up with one of Paula's famous breakfasts, at Magnolia's Veranda.

Old Las Vegas is what attracted me to Fremont Street. I drove down Fremont back when it was Glitter Gulch in the '70's. The lights! Thought it was fantastic. When the Fremont Street Experience opened in the early '90's I was able to convince Penny to go to Vegas. She never liked the huge hotels on the Strip and Fremont Street was perfect. Even though it was cleaned up a bit the history was still there. We enjoyed The Golden Nugget, Binions, the Fremont, the Plaza, the Las Vegas Club, and the California Club. I thought the 4 Queens was an amazing place, but we didn't go in much as we played Keno and those other places had more choices than the 4 Queens. Ate at Magnolias when Binions was closed for a while and it was indeed excellent. I'll be eating there when I come back in October for the Notre Dame - BYU game. Great video as always.

Hey Bob...OMG I always love when you share a bit of your personal Las Vegas history with us. 🥰 You are so right, if you want history, and the ability to wander from casino to casino with no need for a car, they Fremont Street is your place - no matter what decade! I have found myself spending so much more time there since we started this channel than I ever did before, and my appreciation for it has grown a lot.

I'm starting to lean towards staying downtown these days. The prices are out of hand on the strip especially if you have already been to Vegas numerous times and just want to go there to stay up late drinking and gambling and maybe go to a steakhouse. You can always take an Uber to the strip one day. Downtown is a better value and if you go during Summer you won't burn yourself out walking since everything is so close. Not sure I'd stay at the Queens though without a pool.

@citibear57 Жыл бұрын

I loved this video. The Four Queens represents the 'old downtown (classic) Las Vegas'. I hope it never changes. Part of what made Fremont Street so special in the pre-canopy days was the neon signs and the thousands of light bulbs. The first time I was in Las Vegas was in 1982 and I loved Fremont Street! You could walk down the street and pop in and out of the many casinos. None of the half-mile walks between the resorts on LV Boulevard. I am so glad that I got to experience that on a couple of trips. As for your breakfast Paula, you and I have something in common! I like my eggs 'over hard' or scrambled. I do not like runny eggs. Ugh! If I ever get back to Las Vegas, I will most definitely want to visit Four Queens. In fact, it might be fun to stay downtown for a few nights. Thanks once again, Dale and Paula, for your wonderful channel 👍

We have visited Vegas at this time for the last 12 years. This is the coolest and most humidity we have ever experienced here. We have experienced flash floods here before but nothing like this last storm. Lucky for us we were visiting the Gold Coast and the emergency weather alert came on our phone. We waited out the storm and only saw minor flooding on Las Vegas Blvd. on our way back to Silverton. Loved the history about the Four Queens.

You may be right - these temps are very cool for this time of year. Although, we have experienced monsoon season many many times, and the rain and humidity are not that unusual for late July, early August.

I've stayed at the Four Queens many times through the years. Always enjoyed my stays there. The employees are the best, from Front Desk, Cashier Cage, Restaurant Servers, they are great. Something I found out a year or so ago, Magnolia's has another dining room behind the Veranda area so it's much larger than it looks.

We love hearing endorsements directly from our viewers who have had good experiences at these spots - thank you for writing! And yes, I did see those other rooms and did a quick pan of them, but they didn't fit into the piece very well so we didn't include them.

You’re so right about the storms on Thursday. We’ve lived here 10 years and that was a pretty big one. It sounded like rocks hitting our bedroom windows. We actually had dinner at Magnolia one time with a relative and it was pretty good. We still need to make our way to Hugo Cellar and check that out. Talk soon! J&K

@paulamckenzie Жыл бұрын

Believe it or not, we have never been to Hugo's either, go figure! Now the floods in August of 2003 were before you arrived here, but they were really bad because they affected the entire valley, the neighborhoods, not just the resorts.

What a beautiful place in Reno! A funny side note when my kids, who are grown are talking to me and we're making like a grocery list I will always say to them anything else Paula? And they just look at me like I'm crazy and then I explained myself one of my KZfaqrs says that! I think it's funny!!

Ok this made me laugh! If they have no context, they must wonder who the heck is Paula?? 🤣

I am in St. Louis and we have had our share of flooding this week as well. We had a year of rain in just a few hours and then 2 days later more rain and flash flooding. Love that you showed the front of the hotel. Usually we just see the side from the fremont experience. Will definitely have to check out that's lobby and coral reef!. Thanks for another great video! ❤️❤️❤️

@paulamckenzie Жыл бұрын

Whew, Linda, I hope you are all good and dry over there! There is a whole lot of water this week where it shouldn't be, and it's causing tragedy and heartache, that's for sure. We do love to walk around these places outside, give you a feel for where they are - because as you say, too often you only see that one side, what's under the canopy.

Wow, thanks for the 400+ videos and playlists! The 4 Queens was my Dad's favorite. When I worked at the old City Hall (now Zappos) we'd eat at Magnolia's-good food and service! Hope your'e feeling better.

LOL ohhh do NOT tempt me with the whole Scotland thing...I don't think it's in the cards anytime soon, so put that salmon on ice. 😄 So glad you have good memories of the 4 Queens, and happy to have taken you down memory lane with this one!

We have stayed there in the south tower, nice rooms. The food is good, we do visit on our trips to LV, but now stay at The Plaza. Anyway The 4 Queens is a very nice property, but they need to start updating their rooms and control homeless bothering guest. Wow saw the flooding on the news, here on the Texas Gulf Coast it has been dry and humid making the air heavy with 106 feel like weather. Already have our B-day trip planned and yes will visit The Four Queens

@paulamckenzie Жыл бұрын

I am sure you speak from personal experience, with regard to the need for updating, and controlling the bothering thing. We have never stayed there, so we trust the input from you guys out there on stuff like that. It is much more humid than usual here, and hot - which makes it feel like we live in the Amazon rainforest!

Your videos are a great source of information for anyone!! I've been to 4 Queens for a stay once or twice 20 years ago. It was a very small comfy room. I wonder now with all of the bands if it's so quiet...

@paulamckenzie Жыл бұрын

I can't say from experience - never having stayed there - but some of our viewers are commenting that it's noisy, others that it's not. It must depend which tower and which room.
