i think this is definitely going to
become one of my new favorite places to
stay in las vegas hey there fellow
explorers my name is chris this is
yellow productions and in this video i'm
going to give you a detailed review of
the conrad hotel at resorts world las
vegas i'm going to show you where this
hotel is located the common area is the
hotel the neighborhood around the hotel
i'm going to show you the inside of one
of the rooms this room a king bed strip
view room and then i'm going to share
with you some of my closing thoughts my
pros and my cons there are some things i
really like about this hotel there are
some things i also don't like as much so
i'll share those with you at the end
first let's go ahead and take a look at
the neighborhood where the resort's
world is located it is located on the
north end of the strip directly next to
circus circus hotel you can also see the
fountain blue there that big blue tower
something that's always under
construction and then just kitty corner
from resorts world is the win in the
encore the venetian and the palazzo is
just a stone's throw away so usually i
start these videos by taking you in the
front entrance to the hotel and that's
really kind of hard to figure out with
resorts world because there's actually
three hotels here there's a hilton hotel
the conrad hotel which is the room that
i'm staying in and the croxford's hotel
each of them have their own drive up
valet entrances there's also about three
entrances to the hotel off the strip and
then there's also the entrance from the
parking garage but since this video
focuses on the conrad hotel part of
resorts world let's go ahead and start
there if you were valet parking your car
at the conrad you would come up to this
valet parking area and then if you come
in the front door you come in the pretty
grand conrad lobby it's a big open airy
space pretty white and bright the
check-in counters are on the right
concierge is there in the middle and
then there's a lobby bar over on the
left it also has a cappuccino i sort of
wonder if they have that there because
if the lines are too long you might want
to get a drink to wait for them i assume
it's actually more if your room isn't
ready and you just have to wait for 15
minutes you can have a drink while
they're getting your room ready there's
also a small resorts world gift shop in
the conrad lobby with all your various
sundries that you might need i will
point out this gift shop follows one of
the vegas trends i don't like which is
no prices on anything if you want to
know the price you have to ask and i
think vegas stores have decided that
people spend more money when they don't
know the price on exorbitantly priced
things now the resorts world complex is
truly massive it is the most expensive
las vegas hotel ever built at 4.3
billion dollars and so i'm simply not
going to show you all of it in this
video if you want to see my full
property tour i've got a video on that
where i walk you around everything in
detail but i will point out three areas
the first is the district this is like
the shopping mall for resorts world this
is where you'll find a lot of the
restaurants and a lot of the stores
there are two starbucks you'll find one
of them here on the second floor there's
certainly the big casino section in the
middle and it's a nice casino high
ceilings though it wasn't very busy when
i was here so it didn't feel super
lively and in the center of the casino
floor probably my favorite part of the
hotel is the famous foods street eats
food court this food court has 16 stalls
particularly specializing in asian food
if you're hungry definitely check out
something from here you can also get the
food delivered to your room via room
service from the food court the parking
situation at resorts world seems to be
evolving pretty quickly so check this
information before you stay but at the
time i made this video valet parking was
approximately twenty dollars a night
self parking for hotel guests was free
and although it's free the self-parking
is quite a walk i think you'll be
walking maybe seven minutes from the
parking garage to the hotel lobby so
make sure you're prepared for quite a
long walk from your car to the check-in
area if you do self-parking the guest
room hallways are nice big wide hallways
green on one side kind of a little beige
color on the other that follow the curve
of the building now that we've seen
everything around the hotel let's check
out the inside of one of the rooms this
is room
33278 a king-size room on the 33rd floor
this is the cheapest room option when i
booked topher here is already hanging
out on the king-sized bed you'll notice
the room immediately has a
red white and gold vibe to it it looks
really rich i like it walking in
immediately i like the high ceilings
kind of neat modern furniture for the
night stands i want to point out and
this is a detailed review after all that
in addition to usb a connection for
charging they also have usbc also by the
headboard you'll find usba and usbc as
well nice touch there's a little seating
area right here by the window kind of
these neat red and gold chairs
with an interesting lamp on the side
just overall a really interesting room
let's go ahead and take a look out at
the view
the view at night out of these windows
is a little bit cooler especially
because we're not looking directly into
the sun and then looking back at the
resorts world hotel itself the hilton
section of it the whole side of it is
actually a light up screen and so that's
kind of a neat thing just to look out on
and you can see the pool complex just
below okay heading back into the room
from that window right across from the
bed is a big screen television
underneath there's a spot that's like a
dresser a place to put your luggage i
just i just like kind of the look of
this stuff here's the in-room safe and i
like the feel of it it's definitely well
made
things you know not just wood but kind
of a far marble countertop
looking back over here now we've got my
you know burger cup with my iced tea in
it but this is the hotel's mini bar
these snacks up on the top are sensor
pressure activated so if you move any of
these things they charge you for they
have a sign to let you know so just
don't do it on the left is also the mini
bar for drinks and then here on the
right is a little mini fridge if you
want to put any of your own drinks in it
i will point out there's no
complimentary water in the room but as a
hilton honors gold member i was provided
two drinks at check-in
this is the closet in the room right
next to the front door it's a nice
illuminated closet there's an iron up
there an ironing board a place to put
your luggage and two ropes oh and uh
people who like slippers will be happy
to know that there are slippers provided
for this room if you don't want to walk
around here in your bare feet okay the
last part of the room is the bathroom
and i really like the bathroom it is a
big bathroom it's got this big
illuminated mirror interesting shape
there are two sinks here uh some nice
fluffy towels
the soap is
mojave ghost by byrido i don't know what
brand that is but that's just a
interesting name the shower is a big
glassed-in walk-in shower there's a rain
head on the top there's also a handheld
and there's also a seat
right there in the back to sit on so i
like that shower quite a bit oh i should
also point out that there's a neat kind
of plant here in the corner i just like
all like to me high-end hotels have a
lot of maintenance things and definitely
keeping a plant in the bathroom is a
maintenance thing and then there's this
little it's a little glassed in room
right here uh with the toilet in it and
a little bit of art that's uh that's it
and also kind of an interesting um white
plastic trash bin down there also on the
sink they've got this little amenity box
right here that's got a shower cap two
shower caps some q-tips and some little
pads what i find also interesting is
those soap bottles i showed you before
for the hand soap they're attached so i
guess they really want to make it hard
for you to take these things home darn
it and then walking out of the bathroom
there's also a big full body mirror
right here so you can get a good look at
yourself and the slippers that you might
have thrown on the floor now that we've
seen everything around the hotel and the
inside of one of the rooms regular
viewers here on yellow productions will
know it is time for topher to join us
for the tofu review if we haven't met
this is topher he's my traveling panda
i'm chris he's topher together we met
christopher he always helps me with
these reviews to make sure i stay
objective but first everybody always
wants to know how much did this hotel
cost
i booked it midweek in december the room
rate was 84.50
plus taxes and the resort fees total was
146
parking was free so that's the out the
door one night price now let's go ahead
and talk about the pros and the cons but
first
rate this on a scale of one to five
tophers and topher how many total is
this hotel going to get topher says is
gonna get four and a half tophers all
right so first we'll talk about the pros
and then we'll talk about the cons
topher wants to sit back here so he's
still in camera all right pros
this hotel is amazing the resort is
amazing they clearly spared no expense
at 4.3 billion dollars being the most
expensive hotel ever to have been built
on the las vegas strip it's just staying
here everything feels new everything
feels fresh everything feels clean but
in particular
the room the conrad room
it's a really nice room it's a big room
it's a clean room there's tall ceilings
i slept super well i slept like baby
jesus last night the air conditioning
was cool it was quiet the room was dark
i didn't hear anything in the room
except for the soft whoosh of the air
conditioner so that was pretty nice i
love the big bathroom outside of the
room the property has a lot of nice
amenities on it great restaurants i just
had breakfast at sun's out buns out i
got my orange juice right here
and it sun's out buns out it is kind of
like an egg sandwich place sort of like
egg over the cosmopolitan i got the
bacon egg and cheese sandwich for ten
dollars really quite good and i used my
gold hilton honors credit of 25 dollars
a person for that breakfast so that
ended up being a pretty good free
breakfast the orange juice was 7.50 but
i figure i'm putting the room credit
against it too so that's free as well as
a note the hilton honors gold or diamond
credit they give you can be used at any
of the food establishments in the hotel
in addition to sun's out buns out you
could use it
at the asian food court if you want to
where actually i got some really good
charquito on my first day here and also
some dumplings later on for a midday
snack the swimming pool in the complex
also looks amazing but i could only see
it from afar the weather was like really
cold when i was here temperatures at
night were below freezing so the pools
were unfortunately closed due to the
cold weather but it does look like quite
a nice pool complex and right now the
free parking that's also pretty good you
know most strip hotels are charging for
parking so it's nice that resorts world
is still
free i think they'll charge eventually
but if you're coming in while they're
still building things out then that free
parking is a extra sweetener to top the
good deal you know we've talked about
the pros let's go ahead and talk about
the cons i think the first con that
people will think of when they think of
resorts world is the location this
location on kind of the north end of the
strip next to circus circus this isn't
the most lively buzzing area of the
strip now for me i'm a walker and so
it's not that far to walk to caesar's
palace i can see it out from my window i
mean when i say not that far it's like a
20 minute walk if you're wearing
sneakers if you're wearing you know high
heels and you're going for a night out
then you'll probably want to take a taxi
or lift or something to get over there
again not far but just too far if you're
wearing maybe uncomfortable shoes and
you're wearing really dressy clothes for
a night out on the town another con even
though i said the food was great uh it's
expensive everything in this resort is
expensive you know as gambling revenue
has gone down in las vegas i think
resorts world probably looked at that
and said okay we're not going to make as
much money on gambling as hotels have in
the past and so we need to make our
money back someplace else we're gonna
make it back on the food my orange juice
seven dollars and fifty cents a soda
from the restaurants down in the food
court five dollars uh a soda from the
mini bar seven dollars by the way pro
tip if you want to buy a soda the best
place to get a soda is actually on the
guest room floors and the vending
machines they are three dollars and 25
cents in there also there's ice on the
guest room floors but you won't find ice
down at the food court so if you want
ice with your soda down at the food
court uh you know
get a plastic cup or something fill it
up at your ice machine on the guest room
floor and then take it down with you
when you go to the food court now the
parking that was a pro because it's free
but the con of the parking it's far if
you're staying at the conrad the conrad
is the furthest hotel lobby from the
parking it was about a seven minute walk
for me when you are coming make sure you
park in the hotel parking garage there's
two parking garages there's also a self
parking garage
that is really really far so make sure
you're in hotel parking and not self
parking provided you're staying in the
hotel the closest hotel lobby to the
self parking is the hilton lobby
obviously you can alleviate that by
doing valet parking though that's going
to cost you 20-ish dollars a night and
then related to the room itself i only
really had one con about the room itself
the fact is there there's no desk
there's this round table that i'm
sitting at right now by the window which
is kind of like the desk and i used it
as a desk but because it's a like a
dining table and not a desk there's no
power ports next to it so if you want to
put your laptop up here and charge it
you can't i like pushed a chair over the
wall and put my laptop on the chair to
charge it overnight i really would have
liked a just a nice place to charge my
things even if it was on the vanity
underneath the television or something
like that i feel like they
really didn't plan for people to come
and do a lot of work in the hotel here
but now the real question is would any
of those things stop us from staying
here again i don't think so and as i
started this review i think this might
be the new place that i'm going to pick
if i want to stay on the las vegas strip
provided i can get room rates that are
sub 200 you know if the room rates were
in the 400 area then i wouldn't pay it
and i'd stay off strip someplace but for
under 200 bucks i think this is a really
good deal well fellow explorers what do
you think have you stayed at resorts
world do you like it is it worth four
and a half tophers was my judgment
completely clouded by the delicious
asian food that i had and the fact that
they have a dance dance revolution
machine here or is it really worthy of
the four and a half tophers well fellow
