- It is Christmas time in Las Vegas.
I'm here with my bestie, Nikki,
15-year friend-iversary happening right now.
So let's see what we see.
Let's see what shenanigans we can get into. (laughing)
I have seen many Bellagio flower displays,
but never at Christmas time.
Look at this, giant ornaments.
Oh my gosh, how pretty.
A big gingerbread house.
And for a Tuesday, my goodness,
look at how many people there are.
So many people. (laughing)
(gentle music)
Okay, but seriously, look at this, this tree is so huge.
(gentle music continues)
Nikki even pointed out
that it actually smells like Christmas in here.
And we think, so behind me,
there's these like gingerbread houses,
Christmas-y houses, we think it's like incense
or something coming outta there,
pumping the Christmas joy into this space.
I freaking love it. (laughing)
This sign says, "Thank you
for not walking through the garden."
Well, with these adorable polar bears,
I am very tempted. (laughing)
(gentle music)
So we may have gotten lost in Bellagio for a little bit.
I usually have husky senses, is what I call it,
in Vegas, where I don't get lost.
But somehow, (laughing) that did happen.
I think we would like to go see
the great people watching though,
and perhaps men with abs,
that usually reside around the LINQ area,
the LINQ Promenade.
(both laughing)
- LINQ wink, wink. - LINQ wink, wink.
(both laughing)
Why do I stick my tongue out when I do a wink?
It's like the emoji. (laughing)
(pots clanking)
I'll save you, I'll save you, I'll save you.
Nikki does not like The Grinch.
- Oh my God. - We're gonna run.
- Get me outta here. (laughing)
Oh my gosh.
- There were no abs.
- Immediate panic. - You promised me abs.
- Immediate panic, oh my God.
- That one was creepy though really.
But they always, that's one thing you should know
if ever you come to Vegas, any of those people
like the Showgirls or the Grinch or anybody in costume
they'll be like, Hey, take a photo with us.
And you do that.
And they're gonna demand not $5, not $10...$20 or $50
or $100, and then be like, I'm gonna call the cops
unless you give this to me.
Feel free to call the cops, cause that's illegal bud.
(upbeat music)
(loud cheering)
Research purposes.
Man, they held that note forever.
They were like Canadian in Vegas.
Okay, I'll shut up now. (laughing)
One of my favorite hotels to go in is Venetian
because of course they've got these beautiful ceilings.
It's Italy-themed and they often have performances
like this, live performances of people singing.
(group singing)
- So pretty much every hotel in Vegas usually has
some type of a theme, like a seasonal theme.
And I believe this is the Wynn
that we're about to step into.
And it also Christmas-themed.
Oh, let's go see it.
Let's go see it.
(upbeat music)
Of course behind me, we have the classic LOVE sign.
This is always here.
But then they have like these giant ornaments
and this gold-looking tree.
Very happy though that I was able to bust
out a little bit of my Spanish while I was here
and help this couple with their little
girls was in a princess dress.
And they were taking pictures around here.
So many great photo ops around Vegas.
But it was really cute cause we basically swapped pictures.
I took one of their whole family together,
and then the husband was really nice and took some of us
which I will include right here of our memories. (laughing)

Excuse me ladies and gentlemen,
but since when does the sun go down at 5:00 PM?
I thought we had more daylight to work with here.
(gentle music)
Wynn has gotta be one of my favorite hotels
to come and look at their
totally over the top flower displays,
like this merry-go-round,
which Nikki was like, you can't even ride it. (laughing)
I'm like, actually though, day ruined, day ruined.
But how pretty, all of these...poinsettias, they're called?
Nochebuena in Spanish.
- Point Centers.
- Poinsettias, in English. - Yes.
(gentle music)
This is like the pure definition of
(singing) walking in a winter wonderland. (laughing)
Okay, so I gotta be sneaky here cause you're not
really allowed to record in some casinos like the Wynn.
But it's five o'clock somewhere, here.
Cheers. - Cheers.
Got a Negroni and your first time trying an Aperol Spritz.
- That's beautiful.
- Oh gosh, it's strong.
You like it? - That's magical.
- Oh, yeah. - Hmm!
- I don't think you're gonna like mine.
Do you wanna try it?
It's strong.
It's really strong. - This is the Negroni?
- Yeah.
It's so strong.
- Oh my god. - This is so strong.
- That is nail polish remover in a glass.
Oh my. (coughing)
Oh, I'm good, I'm good.
Oh my gosh.
We were sent on a...
No, what is on this?
Oh, there we go.
(laughing)
- Can you imagine that footage?
Both of us are just like.
(laughing)
- We were sent on a wild goose chase.
We're trying to, I'm trying to get to this casino
that I've never been to before in all my years in Vegas.
Echo, echo.
We were sent on a wild goose chase from Wynn to Encore.
We have finally escaped Encore
with the help of many, many people actually.
I've never, I've never been here before.
Look at this though.
I think it's like a mosaic butterfly situation.
Hold on.
I see a place that say...that say.
A place that says tacos el pastor.
First of all, why not tacos del--de pastor?
But second of all, they're playing Spanish music
Birriaria...from Tijuana.
I feel so at home.
- I think they have the churros.
- It does, to smells like very cinnamon-y and delicious.
This might be, this might be our late night food.
- Are we gonna try, are they open late?
- Probably. - Come back?
It's a Mexican joint.
Yep, gotta be, hopefully.
What is this?
What is this giant globe, magical eight ball
or crystal ball?
Is it being projected from the inside?
Is this a screen?
I'm so mesmerized.
Vegas is next level.
(funky music)
Look how cool this is.
Look at the ball in the background.
It's the North Pole.
Okay, so it is our first time here at Resorts World
and we did the signup thing where you get a certain amount
of points, but actually didn't take that much to get.
At Wynn you have to get 150 points
which takes approximately $750 coin-in.
Here, $25?
- Yeah. - And it took like $10.
So let's see, I think we get a wheel spin here.
Let's see how it goes.
So.
- Oh my God, it disappeared.
- Wait.
Oh my gosh. (laughing)
Where am I supposed to put it? Oh no, it's here.
That scared me.
All right, here we go, spin to win.
Let's win big.
Let's do it.
Not the lowest one.
- Who's surprised? - No!
Congratulations.
- Oh, hey.
- Oh!
- Should I do it? - Wait you can spin it,
like that again. - Yeah, should I do
a really heavy spin
- Yeah, yeah, yeah - Or a light spin?
- Heavy.
- Oh, that's, oh! You can spin it.
Oh, you're right, everybody gets 25,000.
Congratulations.
Oh f-off!
Look at this buffalo machine.
Oh my gosh.
It goes up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up and over.
(laughing) Are you dizzy? I'm dizzy.
Okay, so I just have to share this really quick.
I just met Audrey, who, as it happens, we were both
in Mexico City at the same time.
- Yes. - And now we're here in Vegas.
- What a small world.
- Such a small world, and thank you so much for being a fan.
- Of course, I love Maddie Gold.
- Oh, I love it, thank you.
- And she's gonna find a hot Latino man.
- Oh, I sure hope so.
- Yay, Maddie Gold.
- Thank you. - All right, cool, thank you.
So first time in Resorts World, I'm gonna say
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion
but I'm kind of underwhelmed
- Like not impressed
- Super underwhelmed and it's, this is so new.
But compared to the other casinos on this strip,
ah, I don't know.
(gentle music)
After so much time in Mexico, I'm honestly,
I probably shouldn't be,
but I'm shocked at the prices of Uber.
Come for me in the comments, feel free.
But $10 for a five minute ride?
But my feet have the most blisters. (laughing)
And I was hoping to show you, and Nikki didn't know this
but there's a volcano show here at Mirage.
We gotta check the times that it might be too late.
Somehow we went from five o'clock to 11 o'clock.
How and when and why did this happen?
- Casinos.
- They pumped the oxygen in there.
They put the special scents.
How you feeling?
- Like I'm tipsy on some free mimosas.
- Ooh wow.
Ooh, wow.
- Ooh, wow, ooh wow.
- Ooh wow.
Does anybody get that reference at all?
I love that Husky so much.
So of course, no Vegas trip would be complete
without seeing the Bellagio Fountain show.
And since we're staying at Cosmo
it was conveniently on our way back, which is also nice
because it's f-f-f-freezing outside.
For what comes next, I'm going to spare you
the original audio with high pitch screaming
and me saying, oh my gosh
about 69 times in a row.
But we came back to our room at The Cosmopolitan
only to find it completely decked out
like a MaddieGold Wonderland.
I was so excited I couldn't even keep the camera still.
There were marigolds and balloons everywhere.
These custom letter balloons that said Maddie Gold
and NikkiMouse.
That's been my nickname for her since high school.
And as if all of this wasn't incredible enough,
we even got a bottle of my favorite mezcal
and these beautiful glasses to take home.
Big shout out and thank you to decorate Las Vegas
a woman-owned business who surprised us
with one of the coolest things I've experienced
in the nine years I've been coming to Vegas.
This is not sponsored, but I highly recommend their service
for birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorette parties
or even as is the case here, our 15-year friend-iversary.
Also, as a cherry on top of this amazing trip
our already comp'd room got upgraded
for free to a 16th-floor fountain-facing room.
Talk about hitting the jackpot.
So after Resorts World,
I did something incredibly uncharacteristic of me.
I don't, I'm not a late night person, I don't go to clubs.
But we wanted to dance, so we went to OMNIA.
We got in for free because we're boss as bitches like that.
No, I'm pretty sure they let ladies in
for free all the time and we danced our freaking pants off.
Not exactly, cause I'm still wearing pants.
- You're still wearing pants. - I'm wearing pants.
But this was an amazing trip.
Turns out one day,
one day, having one full day in Vegas is not enough.
Definitely not enough.
So next time that fatal flaw,
we're gonna add at least one more day.
Thank you so much for watching though.
Please subscribe.
And on the screen here is one
of my favorite videos I've made recently
which I think is the
the Mexico version of Vegas in terms of holidays.
So you can keep watching until the next video.
And one more thing before you go
- Gong.
- GONG that bell if you wanna be notified the next time
I release a new video.
And I hope to see you there.
