I like how people don't know that the 'Resort Fee' is not for the internet or the pool or the gym only really. there is a 2nd function for it.
Guess what OTA, travel agent, and non-direct booking commissions (which sometimes can go to 30% for big players like Expedia) are based on? The room rate and only the room rate. The hotel gets to keep the resort fee commission free.
For example if the Luxor posts the nightly rate as $29 when then resort fee is $35 that makes a big deal for MGM to be paying 30% on $29 per night instead of 30% of $64.

What happens in Vegas very old and before internet ad campaign. I've been to Vegas every decade from 60's and it was way better in the day. Nowadays a bunch of classless young drunks and tourists. In the day men wore suits peeps dressed to the nines had class. Now a bunch of overweight drunk dads wearing shorts with wifebeaters shirt white socks and scandals eating off his plate at cheap buffet. Think Randy Quaid character in National Lampoon Vegas Vaction. Not all these scams and cons on strip. unless you like that stuff.

A couple of things. I spent 30 years there and a big mistake people make is forgetting that its a fast moving, very active and often times dangerous city. Jay walking can get you killed. Straight up. The drivers are aggressive. Next, yes, there are actually a lot of great things off the strip. I lived in every corner of that city, but research it first, quite a few areas are a bit rough there. Just be smart about your surroundings and your stuff and have a great time.

Going to make a correction here. Don't bother bringing a lot of small bills Bring enough small bills to tip to get you to your destination. Use the bill breakers in the casino to get your small bills. I heard about this and did it last trip. Drop a $100 bill in and get 5 x $20. Pop a $20 in and get 4 x $5. Drop in a $5 in. you get the idea. Don't worry about bringing $100 in 1's.

Great video. I'm from Vegas and you nailed everything.
At some resorts, you can waive the resort fee, but you wont have access to pools and other many many amenities that the resort fee pays for. This includes wifi. You will be paying separately for wifi per person per day, which will make the resort fee worth it.

I just love the Vegas rookie mistake of thinking stuff is closer than it actually is. its so adorable that Vegas virgins think they can walk from Mirage to Mandalay Bay in like 15 minutes IN FLIP-FLOPS. so innocent - so tired and dehydrated and blistered!

You are right, the breakfast at the Mon Ami Gabi is wonderful, one of our is favorites. (But your pronunciation is off, it's a French restaurant. As locals, we don't go to the strip often, but we will drive down there for that delicious breakfast.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that the Entertainer by Scott Joplin was the background music from 3: 48-6: 12 as well as from 8: 05-10: 25? Was this intentional or was this a cool street performer. It was great background music.

Don't worry about bringing a bunch of small bills if you are travelling light/ afraid you might lose them. Every Casino has a bill breaker which is free of charge. Yes, its attached to the atm but the bill breaker part is free.
